One Lost Tooth

We lost our very first tooth amongst the Nerio kids.  We knew that she had to loose one soon, as she already had the next set coming in behind her two front teeth. 

 

She had been working on loosening it up for a couple of weeks, and finally momma said it was time! 

So we sat down one night and we wiggled, and pulled, and wiggled and pulled, and finally POP, out it came.  No whining, tears, nothing. 

 

She has this cute little Tooth Fairy Pillow to put her teeth in for the Tooth Fairy.  She said she wanted to keep the first tooth, so luckily the tooth fairy left it.  She also left her a glittery one dollar bill.

(Yes, one dollar--three kids + lot of teetch= one broke tooth fairy....so one dollar.   Quite a bit better than the quarter I got as a kid :))

She has since lost her second bottom tooth, and got a dollar for that one also.  The tooth fairy took that tooth though!    What an exciting "first" in our house!

KINDERGARTEN!!!

This little girl isn't so little anymore!

The first day of Kindergarten--and she was so excited!  No doubts or fears--just excitement!!

And isn't she precious!!

Notice the post again!

Her teacher this year is Ms. Chrismon.  We dropped her off with no issues--she was excited-she gave us a big smile to let us know she was great, a hug and maybe a kiss, and that was it!  (Mom did great too-but had to leave when I saw another little girl start to cry) HA!  So glad that she is so confident and loves school so much!

When I went to pick her up from daycare after school she said she had a GREAT day!  The talking started about 30 seconds into the ride home, and continued for the next two hours.  She talked to both Grandma's to tell them about her day!  I heard about recess, how many they have, when they are, why they are when they are, lunch, what kind of milk you can have, and which one she chose (chocolate for the first day), snacks, music time, her lockers, what they did with her school supplies, the centers, her name tag, the other kids, the teaching asst. Ms. Pape (who she also had in her room last year), and it went on and on and on!  I loved hearing about every minute of it!  After dinner Jamison and Raegan got down and played, and she just sat there with me telling me about her day!  It was the peak of my day, that is for sure!  She wanted to go back that night!

Day two went just as great, she chose Strawberry milk for day two and said it was better!  Her stories each day were so funny, you could tell she was on new information overload--and kept mixing up names, and having to think about what she was trying to say-her mouth couldn't keep up with her brain!  (Like she couldn't remember PE at first, she kept thinking EPT, EP, PT, oh yeah we had PE!  Thats what it is called!)

Day three was still super!   She is really excited about getting to use the library more, and getting to check out books to bring home.

I hope she has a great of a year as she did first three days!

Love her and so excited for my #1 Kindergartener!!!

Grease Lightning!

Check out this guy and doll heading off to the Sock Hop!

A-DOR-A-BLE!!!!

Note the pose above by Miss B-you will see it again-that must be her supermodel pose!
Our church hosted a little Sock Hop for little girls and the significant man in their life!  So glad daddy didn't have to work and they were able to go!  Also glad Chris was willing to play along as I dressed him up!  HA!  They had a great time doing the limbo, hula hooping, and they even did a little hand jive according to Brooklyn.  I just can't get over how cute they are!!!

Out with a bang!

Summer was coming to an end quickly, but we had to get one last special night in!

Since it finally cooled down (only 95 instead of 115), we headed up to Bartlesville to their Kiddie Park.  It is basically an amusement park--toddler style!  This was our first time going, so we didn't really know what to expect, but had heard good things!  And it turned out to be perfect!

We started out driving the boats...

Then it was off to the turtle ride.  Notice that Raegan chose not to ride the boats--she of course got shy and didn't want to go.   We got her to ride the turtle ride, since Daddy was going too.  And although she looks happy in the picture below--the terrified crying started about 27 seconds started after the pic was taken!

Then it was off to the races....

And next was a little cruise...

A quick photo opp.

Then the much awaited Ferris Wheel!  (Jamison and Brooklyn are in the green one)

I love Jamison's face in the next two pics!!

Time for take-off!

Brooklyn kept turning around to find Jamison who was a few planes back--she is such a good sister and was wanting to make sure he was ok!

And he was just fine!

Daddy and the best little spectator of the night!

This was one of my favorite parts of the night!  The sun had gone down, the lights were shining, and it was time for COTTON CANDY!!!!

With a little sugar in us, we were ready for a family ride on the Carousel!

Then another plane ride.

The swings were next to the planes and Raegan agreed to give them a try.  Notice--she looks fine in the picture.  The terrified crying started about 19 seconds after the ride started.  The crying continued for the next 1:51 of the ride!  HA!  Atleast she gave it a try!!!

This was ABSOLUTELY my favorite part of the night!!  Right before this pic, Brooklyn turned to me and said "Mom-thanks for bringing us here, it is so much fun!"  Melt my heart--how sweet!  Then the two of them just sat on the bench tired as can be watching the other rides while we waited for our train ride!

After our train ride these two took one last plane ride, and then it was time to head home!

We had a great night!!  We were tired to say the least!  The park doesn't open until 7:00, and we were there until it closed at 10:00!  Way past our 8:00 bedtime.  But there were no meltdowns, no whining, nothing--just a fun family night!!!!

What a great way to end the summer!!!!

Confession

I have a confession to make.  I did something, not sure if my girls will hate me for it some day or not.  And as far as I know, nobody noticed (atleast they didn't say anything!:)  

See this little girl on her second birthday party.....

 Take a good look.....

Now look at this girl on her second birthday.....

Notice anything....  Yes, I did it!  I dressed Raegan up in the same outfit for her second birthday that Brooklyn wore for her second birthday!  I couldn't resist, is that mean??  Do you see any resemblence???


I have another side by side comparison of the girls....

 

  I don't know if they look alike or not....but they both are just SO DARN CUTE!!!!

Baseball Game!!!

We couldn't stop at a Birthday Party, Pool Party, and Pizza Party, we had to add one more thing-

OUR FIRST FAMILY BASEBALL OUTING!

Daddy got us tickets to the Drillers Baseball Game, and we were able to check one more thing off of our Summer List!  

We were pretty exhausted, but the kids loved it!  And we had GREAT seats--right behind the first base dugout!  It was only 109 degrees outside!  We did get blue slushies to try and cool down with!

We had a lot of fun!  The kids sat great, liked watching, got into the music, and were asking a lot of questions!  Next season we will have to go back when it is a little cooler :)

What a great day we had!  It was kind of our last shabang of the summer as Daddy picks up with football, and Mommy gets busy with school starting.  I am sure we will find a couple more fun things to do though! :)
