On the List

I really need to post. It is on the list of things I need to do. Obviously, not on the top of the list. Is anyone else in a blog fog?

UNBELIEVABLE!

I don't know what else to say. We got a surprise the other day that is absolutely and completely unbelievable. Alice came home. Yes, the Alice that has been missing for 6 weeks. She looks totally healthy and seems happy to be home. Rog isn't that thrilled to have her home, but the rest of us are. We still can't believe it. Where in the heck did she go?

How old is my baby girl?

Jaelyn didn't even have a loose tooth when she woke up today. Now she is missing one. At about 1630 this afternoon Jaelyn pulled a funny face at me and I noticed that she had a tooth growing in behind her baby teeth on the bottom. When I told her that she would need to go to the dentist tomorrow to have it pulled, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Yes, she started frantically wiggling that little tooth until she loosened it up. Then as you can see her Dad (who is the most patient man in the world might I add) spent 1.5 hours of quality time with her while she came up with ideas of how to get the tooth out, peed at least 6 times and kept saying, "why am I shaking so much". I just had to leave them alone to figure it out. In the end, it was Rog pinning her down on the kitchen floor and pulling it out. She was relieved to have the whole ordeal over with, as were we. She was rewarded with a brownie and ice cream - her favorite!

Now that new permanent tooth has room to stretch out. I was shocked when two of Jaelyn's friends that are her age (within weeks) started loosing teeth a few months ago. I was thinking we had a couple of years. Jaelyn keeps saying, "I thought that I would lose my teeth when I was 10". My response, "Oh honey, you still will be." Poor kid!
Here is the box (with tooth inside) that Jae left for the tooth fairy. The note is asking that the tooth fairy please leave the tooth so that she can show it to her Grandma tomorrow. We will see. What is the going rate for a baby tooth anyway?

A get away!

Rog needed to work in S. Cal., so we all went and had some fun at the beach and at Disneyland.Mac got to see his favorite guy, Buzz!! Mac loved the Buzz ride, the Dumbo ride and he loved Tower of Terror and Space Mountain. He is barely 40".

When the kids saw Tiger they both started jumping up and down. When Tiger saw them he started bouncing too. It was so funny to watch the 3 of them just bouncing together.

Jae's favorite gal right now is Jessie from Toy Story 2.

We had a great time, but Rog was bummed that he missed the big snow storm of 2009 while we were gone. I was thrilled.
