Another One bites the dust...

Jake may not have too many teeth left at the rate he's going. This one was a lot less stressful than the last one. We talked him into letting Kyle pull it. It went something like this: "OW!! Hey, were did it go?" Not bad. The best part, neither son nor dad is mad at mom.

Tragedy strikes the Wewe house and, and I still win the Mom of theYear Award

Here it is, the tooth is gone, but there is a story that goes along with it. On Tuesday evenings, we host a small group bible study in our house. After school, things get a little hectic on these days. Today was no exception. When we got home from school, I put Kailey down for a nap, went downstairs and began getting ready for this evening. Jake got to watch 30 minutes of T.V. and then it was on to homework. In the course of beginning homework, he mentioned he would like a snack and could he have an apple. Well, (now this is were the mother of the year and wife of the year award come in to play) I didn't think anything of it and said, "SURE!" So, homework begins and so does the snacking. I on the other hand, am cleaning up the kitchen, not paying much attention. I look over, to see him chewing on the side of his mouth. I also notice a gaping hole in the front. SO... I say, "Jake, your tooth is gone. Is it in your mouth?" To which he replies, "WHAAAAAAAAA!!!" He starts checking his apple, but is crying so hard. He did NOT want to swallow that tooth. BUT...it just got worse. I called Kyle, and said "Jake has something he wants to tell you. " To which Kyle says, "MARNA!" I tried to defend myself by telling him I didn't pull it, but apparently that doesn't ease the blow of not being able to be here for the event or for not having the tooth to hold on to. I have evidently failed everyone but Kailey, who could care less. After much consolation, we convinced him he could leave a note for the tooth fairy. That I will be able to keep. Now for some interpretation, the note reads, " I accidentally swallowed my tooth. I ate an apple." Notice the drawing of the tooth going from the mouth to the belly. Wow, what a day. What a gamut of emotions. There is something so grown up about losing teeth. Not sure I'm ready...

I forgot the tooth, pardon me...

Here's the tooth. He's pushing on it with his tongue.

Loose tooth, playdough penguins and 3D movies

Just some random pictures of the kiddos. Jake is about to lose his first baby tooth and I wanted to get a picture of it before it goes. I'll post new ones when it's gone. If it wouldn't freak him out, (and qualify me for mom of the year) I would go ahead and pull it, but he will, so I won't.

Did you know the desert has a "Botanical Gardens"?

For a field trip, Jake's Kindergarten class went to the Botanical Gardens. Now don't let the pictures fool you, all of the butterflies were in a special butterfly garden that was enclosed. It was a really beautiful day and was perfect for being outside. The best part was it's just down the road from Kyle's office and he was able to join us for lunch.

Lent Service, Yeah you heard me!

Kinda funny coming from a good ole CofC kinda girl like me. Jake's goes to a Lutheran school, so he was part of the "preservice music for one of the Lent services." They sang some really great songs that actually brought tears to my eyes. My little boy is growing up! Such a kind spirit he has. I'm so proud of who he is. Although, I'm not sure how the church felt about Jake using their "baptismal fount" as an arm rest. Hey, you can't blame the kid, we meet at a school and don't even have a regular baptistery.

Easter 2008

So much to catch up on. Here are pictures of our trip to Tx. Some are of the kids with my nephew Bryce and my cousins little girl, Savannah. One picture is of me and my mom, and my sister. I love this picture SO MUCH, because I love them so much.
