Family Update

Hi Everyone! It is now the middle of July (almost) and I realized I need to update my blog again(if you talked to my sister Shelley she would tell you I don't update it enough!)

Some of the events that have transpired since my last blog are: Tom graduated from Kindergarten the end of May. It was kind of weird to see my oldest kid graduate. It doesen't seem like he can be that old already. It was really cute. The kids sang songs and told us their favorite parts of school (most said recess...surprise, surprise), and they had a slide show of some of their events throughout the school year. I have to admit I got a little misty eyed, but don't tell Tom that. Tom really enjoyed his teacher, and is looking forward to next year.
We have been talking it easy this summer since we are expecting out third boy here soon (I hope!) We have enjoyed a family reunion, and the 4th of July holiday. In Logan the 4th of July can stretch for three days. Hyrum City did their fireworks on the 2nd, plus our ward had a big neighborhood party. It was a ton of fun. Some of the members of our ward have made a train out of big water barrels and they pull the kids around with 4-wheelers. Tom and Sam had a blast (of course!) Logan City did their fireworks on the 3rd, and we went down to the airport for a barbeque with some of Ed's friends. By the time the 4th got here we were pretty tired. We went to the parade, and then just hung out at home the rest of the day. It was nice to just relax.
One exciting thing that happened was that Tom lost his first tooth on Monday July 7th. He was so excited! It has been loose the last week, and he has been trying to get it out. Finally one night Ed got out the tweezers, and worked on it and pulled it out. I thought with the blood that Tom would freak, but no...he was so excited. He couldn't wait to put it under his pillow to see what the tooth fairy was going to bring him. The next morning he found that the tooth fairy had left him a whole dollar! He was so excited. He played with the money all day!
Well, that is about all for now. Hopefully the next time I update this we will finally have a new baby to report about. Love to you all!

Yeah...I love all the fun pictures! That's so funny about Tommy not being freaked out about his tooth. I guess the idea of trading the tooth for money made it a lot less scarry. That little train ride for the kids is sure cute. I love your boys, and I miss you guys a TON!!! Good luck with the new arrival, and I'm expecting a lot of cute pictures of the new baby to be posted on here ASAP, so don't forget!

I love the new update. I was at Grandma and Grandpas when Tom called about losing his tooth. I thought for sure it might be Tom saying he had a new baby brother. I can't wait to see picture, either.

Birthday's

April is here and with it brings many birthday's. On April 5th Ed turned 36 (shhh, don't tell anyone), and on the 10th Tommy turned 6. The boys had a lot of fun on their birthdays.

For Ed's we went to an indoor go-cart place, and let Ed and his best-friend Darryl go racing. Ed's bosses, Jean and Vaughn, also joined them for some fun. Of course with my belly getting bigger I got to babysit the boys. They had fun playing the video games and watching Dad get his butt kicked by his friend (shhh, don't tell anyone that either).

For Tom's birthday we decided to go bowling. It was a lot of fun for the whole family. Obviously we haven't done it for awhile, and Mom had a little handicap with the stomach. Tom and Sam almost beat their Mom! It was a little embarrasing. Everyone had a good time though.
