Snaggletooth...

Can you say SNAGGLETOOTH??

Collin lost his 3rd tooth last Thursday...of course it wasn't the one that we've been waiting for to come out...the one, that has taken over the center of his mouth!

Two days later, tooth number 4 came out--Finally!

This past weekend was quite eventful. We survived the stomach flu, a tornado, and came out all in one piece...as far as the tornado, it came through our small town, but we were all safe & sound at home in our basement. We dealt without power for a couple of days, but were thankfully able to borrow a generator (thank you, Dad!) to get us through.

Collin & I had to stay home from the family picnic this weekend (pirate & princess themed as you'll see in the pictures) and rest, but I hear that Cameron & Halley had a great time.

The kids & I also were in Ohio last week...it was my first drive by myself with the 3 kids--thank you, God for DVD players! =) They were sooo good for me--yes, the movies played all the way there & back, but they were quiet & content.

Cameron & his cousin Sebastian were best little buddies--it was really quite cute to see them "talk" in their own little baby language. One would babble, and the other would respond back!

Another Trip to the Zoo

Last night we took another trip to the zoo. It was a members only night full of fun activites for the kids, so we loaded everyone up & tried to ignore the fact that we were gasping for air because of the near 95% humidity. Somehow, Halley talked her daddy into letting her take her baby & stroller. "Do you really think she's going to push it through the entire zoo?" I asked! Of course, Halley had her dad convinced way before I had any input...so "Lucy" also came along for the ride. Did you know that when you're four, you can forget about certain toys for weeks, and then all of a sudden you can't leave them alone because they will be too scared or they might get hurt without you? (Luckily, I, like Kevin, truly enjoy all of this baby stuff. ) Anyway, we had an evening of fun with the kids--we heard lots of interesting facts about all of the animals, rode the train, crafts, puppet shows...and lots of stickiness and sweating =)

This picture is priceless! We were going through a dark tunnel & we couldn't see Halley's face until after Kevin took the picture!

Look, Mommy!
