2 Wiggly Teeth!

Elijah with all his teeth (but 2 are wiggly)....

Today Elijah noticed his bottom 2 teeth were wiggling! He was so excited! Most of his close friends have lost some teeth, and Elijah couldn't wait for his own teeth to start getting loose. We talked about the tooth fairy and I showed him the tooth pillow I used as a child. He was so excited! I told him that he could use my tooth pillow when he lost his teeth. After showing him my tooth pillow, he looked at me very sadly and said "Mommy I don't want to hurt your feelings, but that is a girl tooth pillow. Do you have any boy ones?" I laughed inside but then told him that we'd go on a special date and pick out material to make him a boy tooth pillow. (Probably all the lace on it just didn't set well with him). We ended up going to Wal-mart and he picked out a sports and plain green material for his pillow. We even put a baseball print ribbon on it so he could hang it in his room when he wasn't using it. He helped me make it and was so excited when it was finished...now he just needs to get those teeth out so he can try it out!

My old pillow I used as a child...the one to "girly" for Elijah...

Neighborhood playground...

Today it was somewhat nice enough to go outside and play! The kids and I had a great time. It seemed like ages since we had been here!

Last day in Indiana...

Today we went to church with Grammy and then we went to the Memorial service for Aunt Doris. She will be greatly missed. After the service we came back to Papa and Grammy's house. Uncle Troy had made yummy lasagna for us to eat for dinner. We also celebrated Papa's 60th Birthday. It really isn't until the 19th but we wanted to celebrate with him while we were here. Aunt Sarah had made him his favorite...pineapple upside down cake. After celebrating we visited for a bit and then had to pack and get ready to go back home. I thought it'd be easier to drive at night while the kiddos slept! I got to listen to my own music and didn't have to stop once. It made the trip home seem a whole lot faster. We had a good time in IN, but there just never seems to be enough time to see everyone we'd like to.

Valentine's Day in Indiana...

This morning we left to go to Indiana. We have a lot planned in such a short amount of time. We are only staying till tomorrow night. We first were planning to go to the memorial service for Aunt Doris on Sunday, but also thought we'd go a day earlier so that we could attend Alysha's basketball game, and Javan's birthday party. We had a great time on Saturday. We were able to just make it to Alysha's basketball game. I thought I took pictures, but when I uploaded my photo's they weren't on the card...bummer! Take my word for it, she was so adorable out there. She is so quick and a really good ball-handler too! After the ball game we headed over to Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Terri's house for Javan's birthday party. He had a spider man themed party. He was so excited about his party. It was so cute just to watch his expressions. He even dressed up in his costume for us. We had a yummy taco dinner at their house.

After Javan's party, it was getting late so we went back to Papa and Grammy's house and we all got our pj's on watched a little bit of a movie (Toy Story 2 of course). Here is Papa and Ezra snuggling...so sweet! The kids all fell asleep pretty fast. We had a great day!

In Memory of Great Aunt Doris...

You will be greatly missed Great Aunt Doris!

Scooter Fun...

Today it felt like spring! While Ezra was napping, the kids decided to go on a scooter ride. They were so cute scooting up and down the sidewalks. Adrie got to use her new scooter she got from her birthday for the first time outside. She did pretty good on it too :) We also had a great time playing with our walkie-talkies. It was so fun to be able to play outside again. We were starting to get cabin fever!
