OPEN UP AND SAY .......AHHHH!










































Every mother dreams of her kids being some sort of professional one day. A plastic surgeon-(free body upgrade), dentist-(free whitening & work), veterinarian- (much needed free vet care), you get the picture. But at the unlicensed , unschooled age of 5 & 7 ?? While unpacking the basement today..yes we are still unpacking, I arrive downstairs to the shrieks and sounds of "Be still Jake..this won't hurt I am an expert at this." "I've pulled at least 6 of my own." "There won't be any blood...I mean only a little." I don't think he has lost 6 yet. But anyway, Jake was laying down across Jack's play kitchen and a box with Jayce and Jack hovering over him wiggling away at his lower tooth which I didn't even know was loose. Jayce has a T-rex dinosaur headlight on shining the beam in Jake's mouth and Jack is assisting. I listened closely while laughing as quietly as possible and this scene played out for about 30 minutes when I gave up on the Triple J Dentistry and went upstairs to make lunch. Suddenly they were all running upstairs with a great victory cry and a very small tooth and a cute little gap in Jake's mouth. Jayce has promised to cut Jack a deal on his teeth on 2 conditions.

1. The tooth is already loose......ya think???

2. Jack promises not to bite Jayce when he pulls it. I think you have to sign this agreement in blood at any dentists office anyway.

Jake is so excited and can't wait for the "toof" fairy to arrive tonight. Now I have to locate a couple of $$$'s for the Tooth Fairy. I don't think her magic wand works at ATM's ...whatta ya do and that's straight outta the mouth of babes. Jill

Marvelous Muddy Mess

This is my first attempt at blogging..we will see how it goes. I totally know what your thinking....AAAHHHH! YUCK!!! These pictures are in our backyard at Grand Forks AFB, ND. Even though they are older pictures, I think they still deserve the front page spot. The boys were having a great time getting muddy ...and yes all the mud came out of their clothes! When Jay got home from work he put his shorts on and jumped right in their with them. I guess if you can't stop 'em , join 'em. Now you can see why my life with 3 or (4) boys is so crazy! I hope to use this site to keep in touch with family and friends so we can share some of our great memories.
