Two Front Teeth....Not Really

Yesterday, after countless days of tears, pleading and whining, Syd lost her other front tooth. She has this big gap in the front of her mouth now. It is kind of funny. Mostly I hope she keeps her mouth closed because it sort of grosses me out when she has to make weird faces and play with the large gap in her smile.

She is so excited for her Dad to see that she has NO front teeth!!

Oh My Gosh!!

First of all, thank you to my sister-in-law who notified me of a problem with my blog. But for those of you who have noticed, yes, I am private again because some BIG JERK got my blog to redirect to a completely different website. I am working on get a cute background again. Hold on and hopefully I will get it figured out quickly.

Wow

When I got to work this morning, I found the following post from a friend on Facebook...."I forgot how much I like you!"

I cannot begin to describe the emotions that I felt. Needless to say, this person was definitely an angel in my life today. And for the record....I forgot how much I like you too!

Not Little

My not so little daughter wanted me to pull out her front tooth this morning. I grabbed a hold of that tooth and with a little bit of pressure pulled it right out. She freaked out! Now that it was out she didn't want it out. She was afraid it would be bleeding. Nope. Hardly any blood. That tooth has been hanging in there just waiting to come out.

The good news is that school pictures were yesterday and she had a full set of teeth. Now we only have one last baby tooth up front to coax out and my little girl is not so little anymore.

So Sick

This Sunday after I got home from church I knew I was in trouble. I started feeling yucky. Well pretty soon, it was beyon yucky to full on vomit. Yep, I was so sick. I seriously just wanted to die. Yesterday I still felt awful.

My hubby is not the greatest nursemaid. He proceeded to drag chairs across our concrete floor; listened to the radio at full volume; watched movies in the next room at regular volume; cooked smelly food; yelled at the kiddos; and didn't get the hint when I asked three times if we had any Sprite that I wanted a Sprite to drink. When he is sick he gets sick for days on end and everyone better watch out. When anyone else gets sick they better hurry up and get well because he has no patience for illness.

I am headed to the doctor today. Maybe they can find out what is wrong. I feel so rotten I don't even want a Dr. Pepper. I must really be sick!

One And Only

Yes life is sometimes really crappy. Yes we have trials and discouragements. Yes we are tested and tried. But as President Thomas S. Monson stated......

"This life is our one and only chance at mortality."

The Alligators

New Wards mean new friends. My most favorite new friend is Alligator.

This is alligator. He is truly the cutest, funniest, most adorable side kick anyone could ever ask for. I love you alligator!!

This is alligator's sister Emalee. Emalee is an amazing drawer. She is sweet and thoughtful and just as much fun as the alligator.

This is alligator's brother Dallin. Dallin is a soft spoken, smart, talented young man. He has a sweet spirit and a contagious smile. He can melt your heart.

This is alligator's biggest sister. Kenadee is in my Primary class and she is very smart. She is always so happy and spunky. She is a very good girl and I love being around her.

Yep, new doesn't always mean bad. In fact, I have been very happy with my Alligator family!
