Tooth number two

Carson can now sing "All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth".

Alaina's 3rd Birthday

Last night we celebrated Alaina's 3rd Birthday. She's all girl and here is the princess with all her loot. Two Cinderella dolls, princess accessories, and some new cloths.

This is the cake I made for her. It may not be perfect, but she sure thought it was neat.
Even though my baby is growing up and we are entering the horrid threes, I love her so much and feel blessed to have her a part of our family.

Toothless

Carson lost his first tooth this morning, or should I say mom got tired of his tooth hanging out of his mouth and pulled it out this morning. Thankfully no tears and he's pretty excited for the tooth fairy to come tonight. The lost tooth is already safe and under his pillow. What a big boy I've got!

Carson's Second Day of School

Yes, I'm a horrible mother and didn't get a picture of Carson on the first day of school, so the second day will have to do.

Update

I've been feeling like an update has been needed so here it is. Tony, the kids, and I moved out of our home in Nampa about two weeks ago. We are currently staying in Meridian with my parents in Meridian until something develops in Rexburg so we can move there for Tony to start school in January. Carson has been in school for two weeks now. He has had a difficult time adjusting to all the changes that have been taking place, but I think he's finally settling down into our life here. He has his good days and his bad days at school and I hope that the more we get into the school year the more good days he'll have. Alaina doesn't seem to have been affected much by the change in venue. Honestly I think she enjoys Grandma's house because of the unlimited cartoons (Grandma has cable t.v.). Not that I let her watch cartoons all day. I've enjoyed having my mom close at hand. It's nice to have someone else to help with the cooking, cleaning and mothering. It's also nice to have some adult conversation throughout the day. We've all managed to keep busy these last weeks with many trips to Nampa to get the house ready for renters. We've spent a lot of time cleaning. Last Saturday we had a yard sale and painted almost the entire interior with the help of Tony's parents. Honestly they did most of the painting, which we really appreciated. So for the most part the house is ready and we've got a couple of prospective renters. So things are moving along and we along with them.
