Another Tooth for the Tooth Fairy!

Janea had a loose tooth and wanted it to come out so I thought I'd help her with it....


JUST JOKING PEOPLE!!!!
She was actually making fun of my "rooster look" when I clipped my bangs up so I threatened to show her "The Wrath of Mommy"!

#5 came out with a little bit of help from Daddy...it's the one on the bottom.




Jen's comments and thoughts about another space in the mouth....
If you don't know it already, Janea is a very vain little girl. She loves to dress in what she considers awesome clothes, loves the compliments she receives, in fact she wrote a story about her "Fabulous clothes" last year. Even though we know losing a tooth is a normal process in every kids life I don't know how she'll deal with it; especially when we get our family pictures done in a few weeks! I think she'll be very self conscious when she sees them.
Hopefully the top one will break the skin soon so that she won't have a snaggle mouth for too long...at least it'll fit in with the Halloween theme this year LMAO!!! She's going to be a witch - perfect!

Festival in the Park!

This past weekend we stumbled upon a local event that is practically in our own backyard! Unbeknownst to us, this has been an annual event since 1964! I read about it in the paper and because it highlighted art I decided we would venture out for some fun! You can read more about it here: http://www.festivalinthepark.org/
We got there when it opened at 10am and the day was just perfect. It started out as a breezy, cool, clear morning but it warmed up nicely. It was just great to be out in less than 80 degree/non-humid weather and we were happy with that alone.
Then, I stumbled upon the ultimate treasure!!! I found an artist that did Japanese art and I am trying to commission him to do a few pieces for us. I've been trying to find the "perfect" art for our bedroom and I think this could be it - simple and completely perfect! I could have went home satisfied right then and there but I'm glad we stayed!
We had a blast stuffing our faces with chicken on a stick, funnel cake, fresh lemonade, the best kettle corn ever and greasy french fried chips! The girls rode rides and enjoyed the sites. By 2pm the park was so crowed and everyone was exhausted. We had so much fun that we plan to go every year!

Below are some pictures....

Can I just spend my life with you

I never knew such a day could come
And I never knew such a love could be inside of one
And I never knew what my life was for but now that you're here I know for sure
I never knew till I looked in your eyes
I was incomplete till the day you walked into my life
And I never knew that my heart could feel so precious and pure, one love so real

Can I just see you every morning when I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me every night
Can we just feel this way together till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you

Now baby the days and the weeks and the years will roll by
But nothing will change the love inside of you and I
And baby I'll never find any words that could explain
Just how much my heart, my life, my soul you've changed

Can you run to these open arms when no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world I'm your woman, and you're my man
Can't you just feel how much I love you with one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you

Can I just see you every morning when I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me every night
Can we just feel this way together till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you




This was our wedding song and I wanted to post the lyrics because it is exactly my feelings for Julian. He is one amazing man and I am just so lucky to have him in my life! Thank you baby for 9 wonderful years. Today, I celebrate you because without you there would be no me. You complete me.
