Alex finally lost his front tooth

Alisa came over after work. She brought some supplies to pull that stubborn tooth.This is the same one Jeremiah tried to pull out on Sunday. After rubbing some numbing gel on his gums, he was more then ready to sit there until it was out!
20 minutes later Alisa pulled that tooth out. Alex was great he never once cried.

Fun in the Sun!!

They got muddy and dirty. But it was great getting outside with the warm weather.

Elijah, Cason and Alex played ball and chase.

Maya had fun playing with the little snow that is left. She licked her first brick and didn't like that much.



Cason and Alex had fun playing frisbee.

How I lost 3 inches

I gave up the good old Pepsi. Can I just say that I miss it, but I'm feeling great. I have not had any pop for two week. I lost 3 inches around my waist. I do carve as much sugar either. Working out has been easier too. If I can give up something that is unhealthy so can you. I challenge very one to give up something that is just not good for them. Dr. Ozz from the Opera show says, it take about 15 day to stop having the cravings. Good luck I hope you all try it!!
Let me know how you are doing!!

Sunday at Jackie's

We went over to Jackie's for a little bit of ice cream.
Look close Cason is bitting Kylie's foot.
Alex as a tooth that wont come out.

Dinner and a Movie Anyone?

Tonight the family had a fun time eating Dino Nuggets with apples for dinner and watching Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium . It is a great movie about believing in yourself. The kids really seemed to enjoy it. Then the boys got to sleep in their new beds with anti dust mite sheets.

You need to watch

This video made me really think about how I have being living my life. I was reminded what was really important and what really counts. I hope you love it to.

The List Keeps Growing

On Monday Alex had his turn with the allergy doctor. He had headaches every day, so his doctor sent him to the allergist. Alex never had hives or a rash . I never thought he could have allergies. Alex is having a very hard time with his new diet. He is allergic to: cow's milk, tomatoes, soy, chocolate, cats, dogs and dust mites.
If you have lost track of everyones food allergies here it goes:(keep in mind there will be a test!)
Jeremiah: watermelon, artificial cinnamon and cilantro
Margie: peanuts and corn
Alex: cow's milk, tomatoes, soy, chocolate, cats, dogs and dust mites
Elijah: soy, tomatoes, eggs, citrus, sea food, cotton trees, cats and dogs
Maya: cow's milk, wheat, oats, eggs, citrus, sea food, cats and dogs
That comes out to be 15 different allergies in a family of 5!
I was thinking that maybe this is a good thing. I have to be a better housekeeper to keep the dust mites down for Alex. We are eating a lot healthier and cooking is getting a lot easier.
Life is full of challenges and we have been blessed with 15 different challenges.
