List of a Few Firsts....

Marie has lost her first tooth here a few days ago (and already has been told mom is the tooth fairy!)

Isaac has played his first soccer game (he's great!)

The kids have:

had their first plane ride...first escalator ride...first night in a hotel

had their first bon fire and hotdog roast

first time riding a scooter

seen their first "I Love Lucy" show and loved it! You have to laugh when you hear Marie laugh!

had their first shots :0 and first dentist visit

had their first pony ride

held kitties for the first time

eaten many "first" foods (loved hearing them eat the Hot Wings!)

had their first trip to the basement for a tornado siren (last night!)

seen their first hot air balloon (Eeh? What? There's fire? People RIDE in a basket????)

eaten their first warm chocolate chip cookies

learned how to play the "Matching" game using the "booger" technique (Chloe's secret!)

first glimpse of a swimming pool with clean, blue water

first ride in a tractor bucket

I know I need to post more pictures soon. I still need to get TONS printed off from our trip.
I don't know where my days go! Oh yeah....laundry, cooking and picking up. When it's nice I'm outside raking and working in the yard. I realized the other day it takes about 4 days to deplete about #20-25 lbs of fruit!!!! (I even ration it ;)
