Tooth Fairy

My baby girl has lost her FIRST tooth. Here is a spoiler alert for you...so any one who believes in the tooth fairy should stop reading now. Ashlyn has never really believed in Santa or the tooth fairy. So right before she lost her tooth she asked me who the real tooth fairy was. So I asked her if she wanted the truth, and so not wanting to lie, I told her the truth. She knew the tooth fairy was bringing her one dollar and leaving the tooth since it was her first one. Well the day finally came, it was hanging on by a thread and Josh pulled it out for her. I was so surprised how tiny the tooth was. She put it in a baggie and put it under pillow. The "tooth fairy" she was expecting left her one dollar and left the tooth. She saw the dollar half way through the night, but then when she woke up in the morning there was another dollar and the tooth was gone. She asked Grandpa and he said he didnt do it, I didnt do it and she called Josh at work and he said he didnt do it. The only thing we can figure is that the real tooth fairy came. Seems someone wanted to keep the magic alive. Wonder who that could be...and it wasn't me.

First day of school

Well its official, I have two kids in school. Ashlyn started first grade, and Jayden started Kindergarten. I was much more nervous than they were. I drove them there and was lucky enough to get to walk them both to class. Neither of them missed a beat. They werent hesitant at all. Luckily the other two kids Rylan and Ty kept me distracted enough to keep me from crying. Its always hard to walk away from my kids and leave them somewhere with out me. And watching them grow up makes me so proud and so amazed all at once. I almost cried again when I saw them holding hands waiting for me to pick them up. They looked so excited to see me and I felt the same.

Bappa

These go together. Ash has one too but hers isnt in the picture.



So one of the best things about living here is seeing the kids have fun with grandpa, and putting in all the orders for cool wood items. Today Rylan was asking where everyone was, and then Id ask him. I said Wheres Ashlyn? In school. Wheres Jayden, in school, wheres Daddy at work, wheres grandpa? In the garage. The garage is their favorite place. He always helps them make things they can paint, puzzles, and all sorts of things. They always feels so cool when they get to go in the garage with grandpa.
