A Toothless Smile is a Beautiful Smile!

Only two of my children lost their two front, top teeth at the same time (or within a few days of the other). Levi and Ashley. I adore a toothless smile! Oh wait, let me clarify, I love a toothless smile on a child within the time frame that it should naturally occur. On a person other than a child, well it doesn't quite have the same "cuteness" effect.
A couple weeks ago, yes, I am that behind, Ashley lost her two front, top teeth. It was quite the ordeal with the entire family getting involved. Finally, she narrowed it down to daddy. They successfully pulled out the first tooth. This was a Saturday. The following Saturday, I told her that she needed to pull the other tooth out as it was hanging. That very morning a cheerio got stuck on it! Good Grief! Let it go already, honey! So we decided since her and daddy were successful the first time, they should be the second time as well. Besides, everyone else was tired of the drama that ensued! Here are a couple pictures to memorialize the last of the Mohicans loosing their front teeth...seriously, this was like a rite of passage!

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat." Apparently, it is much easier to wrap oneself in a blanket and then have to fish your hands out to eat! Why does my child who can remember things from infancy(seems that way anyhow) have to be reminded every morning to "Please brush your teeth"? Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca...

"Train up a child"

This is not just a cliche, it is scripture. And it may very well be one of the most used scriptures. On Tuesday night, my boys participated in their very first communion and foot washing service. Some may think they are too young and don't understand the symbolism, and that may be true, but being that they both have the Holy Ghost and have been baptized, I thought it was time for them to take part. I explained to them what would happen and the reasoning behind it. I also asked them to examine their hearts to make sure they were heaven ready. They both seemed to understand and they both expressed desire to follow through. It was all going well until Ashley realized they had something in their hand that she didn't. She asked me what it was, and I told her. Here is how the conversation went.. Ashley: "I want grape juice too!" Me: "Well, honey you are still too young." Ashley: "Why I too young?" Me: "It's for after you get the Holy Ghost and ...
