Loose your two front teeth...Check
A little story.
Josh's first front tooth came out with a lot of wiggling and a lot of Praying. He wanted that tooth out so bad, and when it came, all he wanted was the other one out too. That tooth was barely loose. It wasn't going to happen anytime soon. Well, unless you get a bunch of boys on the tramp fighting and wrestling each other and have one of the boys kick you in the legs...I mean mouth. Voila! Two front teeth gone.

It's been a great summer! I can't believe its over! Schools in and fall is just around the corner! Time has seriously flown by this year. I can't believe how fast things change, how quick the kids grow and how easy it is to loose track of time!

Why does the summer go faster than the rest of the year? It all sounded so familiar. To bad we didn't know about the snow cones, we would have been right over. All the playing and no schedule is so nice. But then again, all the kids at school and back on schedule isn't so bad either. I guess there is a season for everything. I don't know how many months we could handle with 50 neighbor kids over for lunch in a row. Looks like some good times. I can't get over your snakes!!! Seriously Jason would have moved out. Your house always seems so happening.
