Flying Olivia!!

I love it when Olivia laughs!!

She is flying...

Ha ha ha...

Whew, that was fun!

The Night of the Tooth Fairy

Isaac decided that his tooth should go in the window sill next to his bed. We have this Tooth Fairy box from when Jay was little.

Bedtime story...Isaac was more interested in the whole in his mouth!

A very excited little boy!!

The gift from the Tooth Fairy. He got $5 (only for a first tooth!), toothpaste, and a note from the Tooth Fairy. He was most excited about the toothpaste and note. :)

Lost Tooth...This post is not for the squeamish.

Today is the day we have all been waiting for. Isaac's tooth came out! I could tell that the tooth would come out with just one twist so I ran and grabbed my camera. I'm so glad that I did! About 5 years ago this tooth came in and 5 years later, it is out!

Isaac checking out how loose his tooth was.

Very loose!

The tooth is out! He just said, "Look." Not much emotion. :) He pulled it all by himself and said that it didn't even hurt.

He's a pretty proud fella and can't wait for the Tooth Fairy to come tonight. "Does she know my name? Does she know where I live? Is she really small?"

Training Wheels

The training wheels are off! Isaac has been begging us to take off the training wheels on his bike since we were in Dalhart. We kept telling him to wait until we moved. So yesterday, Jay did the deed. Isaac and Josiah were both eager to test out the bike.

The Bike.

Josiah thought that he was big stuff!

Isaac was getting the hang of it.

Forget the bike, let's all do something a little easier. :)

Another Post...Homeschool P.E.

Here are the pictures of Isaac's home school P.E. class. He really enjoys going and the teacher is great.

They were throwing the ball-bags into a goal.

Group huddle and prayer after playing together.

This is right before I took Olivia to her 1 year check-up and found out that she had both ears infected. I really like her doctor. He has a granddaughter named Olivia. Sweet.

Isaac's tooth is getting closer to coming out. He hardly ever wiggles it so it is taking awhile. But yesterday he had a pillow in his mouth and pulled the pillow out...which loosened the tooth. Now he is a little more determined! :)

Daytona

Today, we went to Daytona. It's funny because we haven't driven more than 45 minutes to one certain place since we have lived here. When we were in Dalhart, we drove to Amarillo and Borger all of the time. So it's been awhile since we have experienced the joy of riding in the car with children. On the way down, we had school in the backseat of the car. It was great because it passed time and put us ahead of schedule! The kids were great and in super moods. Jay was pumped because he wanted to show the boys the racetrack. The boys had no clue that what was in store and they were so excited when they saw the HUGE stadium. Jay and the boys went on a tour while Liv and I went shopping. I know, Jerry, you must be disappointed in me. But there was a Linens-N-Things just down the street and I needed something from there. Anyway, Jay and the boys really liked it. Just don't ask Jay about the lady at the ticket booth. :)
The Daytona 500 racetrack was fun and all, but the real reason we went was to see our good friend, Michael. Jay grew up with Michael and we just think the world of he and his wife, Jana. Michael was speaking at a youth conference and we snagged him away for awhile. It was good to catch up and see a familiar face. As we were driving off, Isaac said, "I am so glad that I got to meet Michael." Thanks for taking the time to make our day, Michael!

The boys with their innocent grins.

Olivia, sweet and happy...even with double ear infections!!

The boys running on a patio by the beach with balloons that they got from Bubba Gump. One of those balloons would be let out of the window by Mom on the way home. The other balloon would be popped by Mom on the way home. Why do people give away balloons??

I love this picture because it shows how the boys were really acting all day. Josiah was screaming and Isaac was saying, "JOSIAH!!" I was praying on the way home that Michael didn't use our family as an example of God's disobedient children. :) HA! You didn't, right Michael???
