Guess who lost her first tooth???

I can't believe my baby has lost her first tooth! I've been (not so) silently dreading it since we first noticed it start to wiggle. I am freaked out about loose teeth to put it lightly. I hate, hate, hate them! Today it was really moving around in there. I managed to get a quick picture while it was still in her mouth. Then I frantically prayed for Chris to hurry up and get home before it fell out or needed assistance coming out. Anna was starting to get a little nervous herself. It bled a little at one point because she bumped it. I really started to sweat. I have no idea how I'm going to make it through the rest of her teeth falling out, then Jaden's, then Luke's...

We have a playground in our backyard!

The kids have been soooo excited about their new swingset. Well, it's not "new" but new to us - you know what I mean. Aunt Kelli's friend Andrea and her family are getting a new patio/pool in their backyard and were getting rid of their swingset. Yay for us! The kids have been out in the backyard everyday - they are having so much fun.

Thanks so much to Andrea, Terry, Daddy, Uncle Mike and Aunt Kelli :)

The swingset even evokes sibling cooperation apparently. I highly recommend one to anyone with children who fight with each other alot (like mine!) If I would have known I would have bought one before I even had kids :)
Luke is the spectator -for now. He seems to really enjoy being outside. It doesn't bother him if its hot - he just looks around for awhile then takes a nap.

Faces of Luke

These are just some pictures I took of Luke last weekend. I didn't realize at the time he made so many funny faces. I think they are adorable!



Jaden decided to join in the fun - not sure what Luke thought about it...
"Mmm baba?" (that's Jaden-speak for "want a bottle?")

Poor Luke - Jaden loves him so much and he's always in his face! It's cute now but I can see fist fights in the future...
