With our crazy life it is nice to be able to slow down and spend some quality time together. I cherish these moments!

Happy Birthday Curtis Loy, Happy Birthday toooooo you!

My little boy is growing up so fast. I am still shocked that I am a mom of an 11 year old. This weekend he we had his family party, and of course when you get us all togther laughter flows freely. Between my dad putting Curtis' helmet on and looking like he has special needs, singing Cherokee people to Shayla, or my brother telling Shayla to have Joe and I punch her in the mouth so her tooth will fall out. It was a fun time. The best though was trying out Curtis' new rip stick. Joe is can go about 30 feet on it. I am looking forward to nicer weather so I can try it. Him and a buddy from school are going to have a party later this month. Happy Birthday Curtis. You bring so much joy and laughter into my life. You are so smart! I am thankful that I have you as my son. I look forward to millions and millions of more memories with you! I love you kiddo!

I am so thankful for the family I have!!!

Ask me why is there a hole in my mouth?

That is the sentence I heard all day yesterday (and this morning) coming out of Shayla's mouth. The answer is that she lost her first tooth. She has been wanting a loose tooth and to loose a tooth for almost 2 years. It finally happened on her big brothers birthday. She pulled it out by hereself. She had to call her grandpa, grandma and then her aunt Katie to tell them the good news. Here she is with a hole in her mouth.

I know this looks like a dentist picture, but she wanted her hole to show toothless smile.
