The Tooth Fairy Came!

She got a golden dollar!

 

The Tooth Fairy responded to the note, too!

First Lost Tooth

She finally lost her first tooth!  Problem is, she didn't realize she lost it until she felt it missing from her mouth.  She has no idea WHERE she lost it so she had to leave a note for the Tooth Fairy explaining she lost her tooth and she was sorry.

Holt Picnic

Today was the annual Holt Picnic.  We like to go to this since it is close to where we live.  It was great to see friends and meet new friends!  It was warm but there was a breeze so that made it bearable.

The first thing Meighan did was run to the slide.  Davis (the boy behind her) was afraid.  She told him he could sit on her lap and to "trust God" (learned from Bible School LAST year!).

 

Daddy took Dawson down the slide.  He went down by himself later but I missed a picture.

 

Cool picture of 8 kids eating lunch.  The 3rd from the left is the newest American citizen, having come home just 9 days previous!

 

 

She had a Ninja Turtle painted on her face!

Happy 4th of July!

We went down to Murdock for the parade.  I thought Dawson would be all over and wanting to be out to get candy but he sat on laps the whole time!  Meighan was nice enough to bring him some candy.

After the parade we went to my parents' to eat some lunch and then we came home for naps.

In the evening we met Tony's family to watch the Ralston fireworks.  Not the greatest place in the world for kids because they are building a Menard's there and there's lots of dirt and uneven ground.  Maybe we can go see fireworks somewhere else next year -- that's safer for kids.

 

Cool little dude!

 

 

 

 

 

After several tries, we finally got a decent family picture.

 

And I got to experiment with my new camera on fireworks pictures.  I had a few good ones!
