Losing this 1st tooth!

It finally happened- Austin lost his 1st tooth!  His tooth had been loose for over a month.  This morning I heard him call for me over the monitor… I told him he could get up, but he asked me to come upstairs to his room.  I was worried that something was wrong, but it turns out he was just nervous that he would swallow this tooth! He had pushed it out with his tongue and it was sitting in his mouth!  So we got up and took pictures, made a big fuss, celebrated with lunch at McDonalds (yuck.)  

Austin was very excited about his first visit from the tooth fairy- and she did not disappoint!  She left notes, money, gifts, and even a trail of "fairy dust"!  

Another tooth is already loose, and he's already talking about what the tooth fairy will bring next time.  YIKES.  

Austin's 6th Birthday PaRtY!

For Austin's birthday this year- we did it up MINION style!  We had a Despicable Me party at a local bounce house place!  The kids had so much fun!

I made these cute minion centerpieces out of 2-liter bottles!

Made these cute cupcakes too!

With the help of 3 friends, we made these adorable marshmallow fondant toppers!

Party favors- bouncy balls and candy

Addy, Austin, and Mich

Meredith, Leah, me, and Kristen

Gigi, Annie, and Gran

All the kids (minus Saylor- we couldn't find that silly girl!)

Ready to blow out the candle!

Time to open gifts- with Evie's supervision, of course :)

My necklace!

A new tball season- GO RED RAIDERS!

A new tball season is upon us- and we are very excited to be on the same team as last year.  Granted they have a new team name.. the Red Raiders (which we are NOT excited about!) Austin's first game was today and he did great!  One change from last season is that they get 3 coach-pitch balls and then 3 swings from the tee!  We are looking forward to a great season!

  

Happy Valentine's Day!
