This was a few weeks ago but I forgot to post it . Both of Bryanna's front teeth were loose, one more than the other. One night she was wrestling with Daddy and she bit his foot, when Derek pulled his foot back he brought Bryanna's tooth with it. It wasn't as loose as it probably should've been so it was a bit of a bloody mess. Then the next day Bryanna would not let us pull the other one which was obviously ready to come out. Even our friend Roxie, the "tooth fairy" at Mark Twain Elem. tried but Bryanna would NOT let her. Later that night the tooth, hanging by a string, fell out with the help of Bryanna's tongue. We were so glad the drama was over and Bryanna was very happy that she lost both front teeth. Now Derek calls her the "toothless wonder". Bye, Bye baby teeth. They grow up too fast!!

Happy Birthday Bryanna

Bryanna turned 7 on April 11th. Here are 7 things I love about her:

1. She is a happy, cheerful girl

2. She is very imaginative

3. Bryanna loves to sing and has such a sweet voice

4. She is very smart and I love that she loves learning so much

5. She is a big helper

6. Bryanna is very good at drawing and is always giving her art to others

7. Bryanna was my "angel" baby and she is a special blessing to us

Happy Birthday to our "toothless wonder". 7 is spectacular!!!

Easter Weekend

Since I made the trip to the NW, our Easter and Bryanna and Gracie's birthday celebrations were crammed in one day. The girls had fun with their cousins and old friends. We decorated pots and planted pansies at the birthday party and then later that day we had easter egg hunt and dinner. We also got to go to lunch with my sisters and stopped at the Portland Temple. Thanks to all our family and friends for making it a special visit.

Going "Home"

We are going "home" to the Pacific NW this week

for Easter and birthdays. I am so excited to see friends and family. I won't be able to see everyone but atleast I will get a little homesickness taken care of. We plan to have a wonderful Easter and some birthday fun with those that we don't see often but who are so special to us. I hope all of you enjoy your Easter day and the reason for this celebration..

Wii Fit FOR SALE

We are selling our Wii fit. Derek was so nice to buy it for me but I just don't use it. I'm a gym-treadmill-elliptical kind of gal.

It comes in the original box with the standard Wii fit game and user manual. We are asking $60, we bought it for $80 brand new and it's been used probably 3 times. This is for the locals here in Carson (unless you are in the NW this weekend when I'm there). Call me if you are interested.

One Final Disneyland Post...I promise

Our first day at Disneyland . Seeing the castle for the first time gave me goosebumps and watching my girls get so excited made me emotional!!



















Our last night at the fireworks show. It was so awesome and a perfect way to end our magical time. During the show Tinkerbell "flys" across the top of the castle and she is all lit up in the dark.. So cool!














The girls can't wait to go back again someday. They always say how much they miss Disneyland. Lately everything at the park is a Disneyland ride and when we go up or down a hill it's a roller coaster!!
