Brennan’s Lost Tooth! FINALLY!!!!

 

Finally!!!  Brennan finally lost his first tooth on July 2nd, 2014 – so he was 7yrs+1mo old! 

It was SOOO loose, for a long time.  He could bend it almost all the way forward, but his permanent tooth was coming in behind it, so he couldn’t bend it back.  He finally agreed to let Sean try and pull it the night before our big road trip.  Sean tied a piece of floss around it and just about the time he was going to pull, Brennan got scared and asked Sean to take off the floss, and in one swift motion, Sean pulled it.  Brennan didn’t know what hit him – and nor did I!  The tooth actually flung out of the floss and we ended up finding it on the floor of our bathroom after 10min of searching on our hands and knees. 

Brennan was bleeding a bit and got a little scared, but it didn’t take long for him to get over it and get REALLY  excited.  He wanted to call people, so we called Grandpa & Grandma Young, and the Maybells, & the Hoffmans…..

End of School Year Activities 2014

Caelan has a bad habit of waking up in the night to a ‘monster attack’ in the middle of the night.  She is not the best sleep partner as she twists and turns all night.  This is how I found her – head at the foot of the best, on her knees, hugging her mouse.  so sweet….

Caelan’s last day of Gymnastics was the same day as Brennan’s end of the school year picnic, so I took the day off and joined in the fun.

We went from Gymnastics to the park for Brennan’s party.  His teacher was actually working at the ‘face painting’ table – and gladly made Caelan a cute little cat.

Brennan wanted to be a tiger, just like  his buddy Alexander…..

Sean was intent on going home and eating lunch and getting some downtime, but instead he stayed and pushed kids on the tire swing for 2hours.

This is Brennan’s wonderful teacher, Mrs. Terasaki!  She was a godsend…..such a lovely lady, and a new grandmother…..

Happy Father’s Day 2014

 

So, these pictures are ones that I think I will forever cherish.  We were set up to take pictures of Sean for another purpose, but I ended getting these amazing pictures of my husband with his pals…..love these…..

The day before Father’s Day was Caelan’s best little friend Jude’s birthday party…..she was all dolled up and I took advantage of the opportunity to get some pictures.

Hurdles in the Yard

Our papa sure is cool!  One evening while we were enjoying our dinner outside, Brennan and Sean set up this hurdle and we spent about an hour watching Brennan try and improve his jumps.  I believe this was about 31inches…..he just couldn’t get past the next notch at 37inches.
