My Cute Kids!

While we were in Michigan my mom practiced her photography on my kids. I think the pics turned out perfect!!

I made the quilt in the background for my mom for her birthday. I love how it turned out.

Two Front Teeth

On July 29, 2011 Brooklyn lost her first tooth. There is just something about loose teeth that gross me out so my friend Maggie tied some floss around her tooth. Brooklyn spent about 20 min. pulling on the floss and then finally had Maggie just pull it out. She was so excited she went straight to the mirror but was even more excited about the $2.00 the tooth fairy brought.

Two weeks later, while we were in Michigan, she pulled out her second tooth all be herself.
