Tooth #2 long gone!

Well tonight while munching a corn on the cob, Mr. Hayden David lost his second tooth! It had been loose as all get out for the last 3 days. He was nibbling very gently when I saw a hole in his gum. I told him his tooth was out and the hunt began. We tore the corn apart trying to find it. Looked all over the floor and in his milk and still couldn't find it. We have come to the conclusion that he must of swallowed it. He started crying because he wanted more money from the tooth fairy and didn't think he would get any without a tooth. So, John and I being the super parents we are talked in our code language at the table and translated to each other to go and get his first tooth he lost that I kept. Secretively I retrieved the tooth, passed it off to John and he hid it in the middle of the corn cob. We made a big production about shucking the corn to look for it, and wouldn't you know it popped right out on to his plate. He was so excited and thought his dad was the BEST! So now we are waiting patiently for the tooth fairy arrive.

Go Jackets!!!!

Our GT Yellow Jackets have finally gotten it together again, knocking off No.13 Clemson. Tashard had another 100+ yards game.

Looking forward to Maryland, anyone know a good recipe for turtle soup?

Mr. Long Winded Instructor Debriefer Guy!

I LOVE this, I can't stop watching it!

What a Big Helper!!!

Okay, these pictures are about 4 months old or so, but they are too cute, because she still does this. She doesn't stand on the door anymore, but as soon as I put something in, she brings it right back out!

Ethan's Field Trip

Ethan's class took a field trip to Pet Smart this week. It was actually pretty neat. The lady gave them a tour of the different animals they keep there and explained the care, characteristics and general info about them. We learned some interesting things, like who knew you are not supposed to top feed fish. Well then how else do you feed them, and I guess that explains why all my fish died. The kids were able to touch or pet a turtle, a guinea pig, and a snake. Ethan kept asking what the smell was the whole time we were there!

The Big Man on Campus
He can barley make it on the bus! He's too precious

Everyone got a chance to touch the snake.
She was asking everyone what they learned today and Ethan was very proud to say he learned goldfish eat oranges!

Around And Around They Go!

We recently bought the new Kenmore He Oasis washer and dryer, which I absolutely LOVE! John isn't totally convinced yet, he thinks it doesn't use enough water. Abigail loves it too! She stands on chair for almost every load and watches it go around and around through the glass. It is a pretty good babysitter if I need to get something done!

Sunday afternoon at the Gilbert's

We spent this past Sunday afternoon relaxing by the pool. After Church, we all exchanged our Sunday best for swimsuits and a towel. It was a great day we swam, played games, and cooked out. Abigail tried out Ethan's sea scooter for the first time. She did pretty good with it as long as we stayed close by. Those things are so much fun. Hayden's is a little bigger and you can take all the way to the bottom of the deep end. Ethan kept sneaking up behind John with his and ramming him in the back. Ethan was laughing so hard he could barley stay afloat.

The boys kept jumping in the hot tub to check on the temperature.
