Tooth Fairy!

I did not think you were suppose to loose your teeth until age 6. We were at the dentist a couple weeks ago when she told me Madelyn had a lose tooth..........honestly, it made me nervous~maybe because it means she is growing up!
She bit into an apple a couple days ago and made it bleed and the tooth became really lose. I told her about Papa and Neena putting a string on my tooth, tying it to the door, and slamming it shut~really, I just ran back with the door! She thought it was funny but did not want to try. We just pushed her tooth back and forth and out it came. She was so excited, a little nervous from the blood though. I'm sure she'll be up early in the morning to see what the Tooth Fairy brought her. She has informed me that she would like: two $3 bills??, 5 quarters, 3 dimes and 2 nickels.............

Avery is nestled into a bunch of pillows to keep her from tippin over..............

HOW can you resist this cute face! KISS ME!!

6 Months and Still Growin!

Well the munchkin just had her 6 month check up. And the little tank is almost 20 lbs. Of course someone, not to be mentioned...Nichole, ooops, was worried her little princess, but guess what, "EXCELLENT GROWTH" stated Dr. Whatever his name was. Anyways, she couldn't be healthier and she is such a little cutie! It was sad of course to get her shots. And of course with the current healthcare system, Nichole had to wait like three hours to get everything done. And when you don't plan on that and you haven't showered, didn't bring any snacks for either of the kids and nothing to keep them occupied, you would probably have better luck getting a St. Bernard through the cat door!

We are working on solid foods with her and practicing sitting up and rolling over. We couldn't be happier to have her in our family and it is just so much fun to mug on her and snuggle. Pretty soon she will be moving on her own, oh no!!

DROP! Moving on............

We finally got our drop on Saturday evening. Assignments were: Hill, Aviano, Germany, Korea, and Japan. Japan was a shock to everyone since it is closing down.
We are so HAPPY to say that were going to HILL Air Force Base in UTAH! Ohhh yea baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have been in Texas almost 7 years and it's time to get back closer to home.
Now we can spend birthdays, holidays, trips, etc together. Oregon is only an 8 hour drive to visit the Hipple side so we'll be taking many trips that way as well. We are so thrilled!
Time to focus now and knock down 3-4 more months here and graduate................
Can't Wait :)

Santa's Visit

I think 3 little precious girls were visited by Santa this year.

Meet "lucky" the horse

Since we have no snow here, the razers were a big hit!

Our little ball-a-butter is enjoying her new toy!! She also loved to chew on all the tags to her new clothes and managed to puke on just about everything!! (thankyou mommy)!!!

Reindeer Dust

Madelyn made some Reindeer Dust at school. We put it out on the lawn to lead the Reindeer to our house.............

Early Christmas

Grammy and GrandBob came to visit us for 5 days before Christmas. We had a great time with them. The girls got to have an early Christmas and open up many fun gifts.

Avery LOVED the wrapping paper most!!

We went to the River Walk to see all the lights and take the boat tour. It was really neat.
We made "Rudolph Pupcakes" and pretzel sticks.......Mmmmm!!

Little Miss Avery had MANY blowouts so she found herself here..........alot!!!
We also went to the Rainforest Cafe for dinner. The girls LOVED it! It's nice to have them stay in there seats watching out for the gorilla's!
