Dear Ms. Tooth Fairy,



I am pleased to inform you that you that Adrienne has lost her first tooth. Please add 2333 Basswood Dr in Little Elm, TX to your list tonight.



Adrienne was so brave to let her Daddy pull the tooth all the way out. She bumped her mouth in gymnastics this morning which made the already loose tooth ready to come out. Unfortunately, her Mommy is not good at pulling teeth (eww gross) and was unable to preform the extraction at that time.



The tooth will be placed underneath Adrienne's pillow so please be careful not to wake her up.



Thank you in advance!

Busy, busy, busy!! That's us. Three kids running in three different direction and 1 mom (me) just trying to keep up.

Logan has been playing flag football and surprisingly is pretty good at it. I say surprisingly because balance and coordination is not his thing. He has his first game tomorrow and we are excited to watch him play. He is doing well in school. He is on the A/B Honor Roll. In my opinion, his teacher is kind of a knit picker and takes points off for everything... for example, he has a spelling test last week and missed one word. Not because it was spelled wrong (it was spelled correctly) but because the first letter of the word did not touch the line on the paper. Really? Come on! So the A/B Honor roll with the unrealistic expectations of his teacher is pretty good.

Adrienne is still in gymnastics and is really close to doing a full cart wheel. She is trying so hard but just cant get her feet up straight in the air. She has been really good lately. So good that it has me questioning 'what is wrong with you?' She is very ready for Kindergarten! She is reading and spelling already. If she keeps this up, she wont have anything to learn in school. :)

Lanie is also in gymnastics and just likes the fact that she can run around and bounce off of things and it is okay! She has been sick lately and has been kind of grumpy. Go figure, Adrienne has been awesome and Lanie has been cranky.

Oh well... what would I do with two girls who were happy at the same time anyway?

My classroom at Bible Bears

Just thought I would share what my classroom looks like. It is fun and colorful - check it out!

Christmas 2008

We had our pictures taken by our bestest friend Tabitha Johnson who is a professional photographer. She did an amazing job. Her business is called TFJ Photograpy and she is local to the DFW area. If anyone wants her information, please ask and I would be happy to get you in contact with her.

Reality Check

I got my first 'reality check' in a long time. I have had several over the years, usually when I have screwed up, dissapointed someone or the biggest one was in 1999 when the pregnancy test showed two lines (that one was huge!)

Well, I had another one last night... smaller than the two lined test, but one none-the-less. I went grocery shopping last night after the kids went to bed. We were out of just about everything! We have spent the past few nights eating out (that's how bare the pantry was). I spent more than I ever had in one trip... in one months worth of groceries even. $300!! And that was with almost $173 worth of coupons and savings.

These kids are getting bigger and eating more and more! We buy nearly 10 gallons of milk a month, and every week go through nearly 3 boxes of cereal (Neal is the main reason for that), 1 1/2 boxes of Capri Sun juice drinks (they have 10 in each) and almost 2 loafs of bread.

We have been in school for a month and a half now, and I just realized that I have not posted our school pictures yet.


LOGAN: Is in 2nd grade and his teacher is Mrs. Todd. We just got his first report card and he got one B and the rest were A's.

























ADRIENNE: Is in her last year of Bible Bears and is in the Bridge Program which has a Kindergarten curriculum but in a Preschool setting. Her teacher is Ms. Shawna (Logan had her when he was in the same program in 2005)


























LANIE: Is in the 3 year old class and her teacher is Ms. Cindy. She is enjoying learning how to write her name, use scissors, painting and seeing all her old friends again after a long summer.
