The 3rd, 4th, and 5th

So, many of you know, I have gone to work at Malibu Medical, our Family-owned weight-loss clinic. I have been VERY tired, and never have time for anything. I still have time to document our little families growth though! Thank Goodness!!
Katie turned 1! That was fun. We celebrated on the 4th, she only had a short nap that day, so by the time we took pictures of the present opening, she was tired. After another short nap, we let her eat her cake, YUMMY! She did enjoy that.
The 4th was celebrated with Joe's family at a friends house for a pool party. That was fun, and we actually got some free swimmimg lessons that day from Amy, an actual swimming teacher, she has incited the girls back for more free lessons starting next week.....SCORE! We went home and went to bed that night. Too much sun I guess.
On the 5th we got out the sparklers and pop=its and had some fun in the front yard. It was totally worht it to me to stretch it out over 2 days...I am just so gang tired! Here are some great shots we got!Emily having fun in the water.
Maggie CHEESE! The best cheese around.
Katie gets a Sock Monkey from Daddy.....LOVE IT!!
Chocolate cup-cake, my favorite!
Emily, experiencing her 1st sparkler on the 4th. she liked it even though it was still light out when we did them.
Joe, Lilli and Maggie doing sparklers on the 5th.

Katie Turns ONE

Maggie Lost a Tooth

So, it isn't a new thing to have Maggie loose a tooth. She has lost 2 already, and she warned me a few days ago that both her top teeth were loose. I knew it would be soon, like weeks, because they weren't crazy loose.
So here's the story, what I know at least.

Maggie came to my work on Tuesday. I said she could come for the afternoon. She has been missing me a lot since I have gone to work for Janet this summer. Well, she burst into the office, and starts screeching, "Mommy, Mommy!" If any of you know Maggie, you know that she is a drama queen and very loud about even the simplest things. I thought she was just excited to see me, but then I see what she is showing me....The HUGE hole in her mouth! It looked like it had been bleeding, I knew something must have happened.

"What happened?" I asked, very perplexed. "Lilli elbowed me!" She seemed very easy going about it, and almost pleased with herself. Waht happened was, Lilli was holding the door closed at the Library so that her little cousin, Annabelle wouldn't escape while they were checking out their books, when Maggie decided she wanted to get going before the rest of the group. Maggie likes to be a pill, to push the limits. Lilli is more of a straight arrow, seldom a rule breaker, especially if it's a 'Grandma Rule'. Lilli wouldn't budge. Maggie fought her. Then...POW, an elbow to the face, and POP a tooth in Maggie's cheek.

She is indeed pleased. She didn't cry with the blood, she simply took joy in knowing the Tooth Fariy would bring her MONEY!! Crazy girl!

By the way, SHE wanted me to do this post, I think she wants lots of comments, so feel free to leave her one, even if you don't have a google account, it will still work.......DRAMA

Katie the Cutie

Katie just seems to be getting cuter and cuter! I love the 1 year old stage. She got out of the bath the other night, and guess what?! Curls!!!Yeah! I love curls! Her is our cute girl.

Update

Here is the gross- out shots of Lilli's stitches at the 2nd day bandage change! YUMMY!!



She is smiling through the pain! On Monday she thought she was feeling well enough to ride her bike, and jump on the trampoline! Bad idea! She gave the wound trauma! It started bleeding again, and she popped one of the stitches. She is more pain now, and we found out that the fall made have dislocated her knee. She will get her stitches out on Thursday the 3rd, Katie's 1st birthday. The next week she will visit a sports medicine ciropractor for knee theropy! Yikes!! Good thing she is such a tough cookie!

Changes to My House

1st, we got a new(old) table. Here's the story.... Joe and I were on a date down-town Boise, and were walking around when we spotted this cute concinment story. We thought, no harm in looking around. When we were just about to leave, we saw this gorgeous table. We both loved it. It was exactly what we have been looking for. We sat down to it, to dream.....because we don't have a ton of money sitting around, when we were shocked by the price tag. $199 for the table. $250 for the 6 chairs. Totally within our budget! We put it on hold, came back the next morning and took it home. I LOVE IT!!!!! Talk about being in the right place at the right time.


2nd, we are tearing the bar out. We really haven't used it at all, except to stack clutter on. most of you know how much clutter bugs me, so I decided to eliminate the clutter by eliminating it. We are going to make it into a Craft Corner for the girls. We have a little table and 4 chairs to go in it's place. There is an extra bonus to getting rid of the bar....the girls wont be doing crafts and play-do on my new table! Yeah!! Here's a little video of Joe getting frustrated with the bar while he is tearing it out.
