toothless

Grace pulled out tooth #3 while I was reading to her Tuesday night! She really wanted the tooth fairy to come so she washed and shined it. She thinks the tooth fairy should bring her a little extra for a clean tooth.

Ok so I could go on and on with all the pictures from the last 9 months but I won't I will just try to keep up a little better! Anyway, here is a picture from Grace's dance rehearsal. She is the second one on the back row. She did a great job dancing to "rock around the clock".

8th grade graduate

Here is the newest freshman in our family...... He already has a stack of math homework for the summer, books to read including one from the high school, and he started playing soccer with the hs team. I guess you don't get much free time now that your an old man.

My daughters the Sumo wrestlers

This is what all mothers hope for in their daughters!! So John's work had a BBQ today and they had lots of fun games. This was a hit for the girls. After the adults finished they got to go at it. The top one is Grace beating on John then the second one is Grace and Elsie. The do make cute wrestlers.

So now for a little recap of this fall... Grace and Elsie both got older ... Sick days, Here is Ben on the first day of school sick on the couch. Everyone but mom spent some time here during the last month and a half. Everyone has spent a lot of time on the soccer field either playing or watching. Thomas is on 2 teams, Ben and Grace each have their own and mom and Elsie watch a lot form the sidelines. School started for everyone. Elsie loves preschool, Grace 1st, Ben 6th, and Thomas 8th. All is well for them. They are learning and having fun. G'ma Hull, G'ma Lewis and G'pa Lewis came to visit. We also made it to the fair. Now you know why I haven't been blogging much.. We've been making memories.

On our way home from Disney we stopped in on the Hunter clan... They were willing to put up with us for a night and the girls had a lot of fun (as long as the dogs weren't around.. We are working on Elsie's fear of all animals).

So the biggest part of our summer was our big family trip to Disney world. Apparently John has not down loaded the pictures from his lap top to our computer so a few pictures that I took our last day at down town disney is all I have. Who knows maybe I will add more of our fun pictures at a later time.. We took a lot. I think we filled our memory card every day. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. The kids are ready to go back.. Too bad my budget isn't there yet!
