Micah lost another tooth! #3

He was such a big boy, his tooth was loose for literally like 5 months. Micah let me wrap dental floss around it and yank it out. It popped right out! Sadly, several days later I convinced him to let me do the same to his other front tooth which was loose for almost as long, just not as loose. I ended up breaking 3 pieces of dental floss on it and it never came out, but it sure bled a lot! I guess I'll let it loosen up a bit before we try it again. On a side note. Micah knows that the tooth fairy is real, Jacob thinks it's just parents leaving the money under the pillow. Fortunatley, Jacob knows that Santa is real!

My one eyed pirate girl

9/5/08

Since birth Peyton has had a blocked tear duct. They usually clear up in the first few months, hers, unfortunately, did not. We have been waiting for the last few weeks for a referrel to an eye doctor so she can have it surgically clearned. In the meantime, this is what she looks like most mornings. She is very good natured about it all and for the most part endures me picking the gunk from her lashes throughout the day with minimal complaint.

Peyton Rocks Out, well, sort of.

I'm going to be blogging a bit out of order. I just got this video of Peyton today and I thought it was just so cute. For a few days I have noticed her doing this head thing. It looks like she's nodding in agreement to something. It seemed like she was always doing it when there was music on, or something that is at least somewhat similar to music! I wasn't quite sure though until today if it was really her "dancing" Now I'm sure. She is such a quite, mellow baby that this just fits her. She loves music, but even her response to it is like her response to everything else, she is so MELLOW! Her little personality is getting bigger everyday though and I am having more and more fun with her. She has a funny sense of humor, nothing is overstated for sure. I can't wait to see all of her developments.

Castle Cake- thanks Becca!

The last Wednesday in August we had a birthday party for mutual for my beehives. It was both my birthday and my advisors birthday is August and we just thought it would be fun. Since Nicole has no oven right now it was up to me to make the cake. As you may well be aware, I'm not the best with cakes. I was just going to do something plain but I remebered the cakes that my sister-in-law did for her kids birthdays just a few months ago and I knew I might have the stuff I needed. So, I gave it a shot. Micah loved the cake and wants me to make one to look like Hogwarts for his birthday, ANY IDEAS? I got some practice and I'm also thinking of doing a princess castle cake for Peyton's 1st birthday because she really is our little princess!


2 squares stacked with frosting in between frosting on top and sides and a few cones with a little cut off the bottom, stick em into the cake a bit and a sugar cone for the middle spire...

Fancy it up a bit with some colored frosting...
Sift through a few mini bags of MnM's I had on hand from our Missionary Moments stash and sprinkle on some more cake decor and you have a pretty princess castle cake!
These are most of my Beehives and me...I love these girls!

Is Nacho Libre a church movie?

On Sunday's we don't let our kids watch anything, with the exception of church movies. Jacob, just a few minutes ago, called to me while I was in the kitchen. He was looking at the movie shelf in the living room and this is what he said, "Mom, Is Nacho Libre a church movie?" I laughed and said, "No honey, sorry." He said, "But it has the church in it." Micah said, "Yeah, but it's not our church."
On that note, I've been meaning to do it, and now I'm going to. Right after I post this I'm starting another blog! It's going to be all the funny or interesting things that I've recorded in my little My Kids Make Me Laugh book. I started it a number of years ago, so I'll post them from the beginning to the present. Find it HERE!

Micah's test results

Towards the end of the school year last year Micah took the Star test (Standardized Testing and Reporting) that everyone takes in school. Well, a few weeks ago they sent us his test result and he scored very high, advanced in both sections of the test. He is such a good student and always strives to do what is right. He is a very quirky kid and we enjoy him a lot. He is a wonderful big brother to all of his siblings and he is very helpful. Micah we love you! Keep doing well in school and choosing the right!

Some interesting info, if you liked the Twilight series.

I for one loved every book of the twilight series and I loved how it ended. I think Stephanie Meyer is an excellent writer and develpoed her characters really well and keeps them true to themselves. This just gives you a lot more info about the books, especially the last one, and it tells you all about the cover art (and it makes a lot of sense!) Click here.
