Cody lost his first teeth!!!

Cody's bottom teeth started getting loose in February. He was wiggling them a lot, but didn't want anybody else to touch them. After a while it was becoming difficult for him to eat, but he still wouldn't have anything to do with us trying to pull them out--or at least Will or Baylee trying to pull them out. I couldn't even try, and will be forever grateful that Baylee pulled most of her own teeth.

We finally noticed one day that his permanent teeth were coming in behind his baby teeth and made an appointment with the dentist. It was hard to hear my sweet baby moaning in the back of the dentist's office, but he came out missing his two front bottom teeth. The dentist assured us his new teeth would push forward, and they have!!

Ooohhhh...I've missed you.

I'm back!!! It's been a while since I've written and I have missed you terribly, my blog. My computer was gone for a long time after it started smoking and HP wouldn't cover it under the warranty, but somehow they changed their minds and after sending it back again, it's working! Yippppeeee!!!

So much has happened since the last time I wrote to you and I will have to catch up over the next few weeks. You have a new layout and it just feels more like the current me.

I can't wait to do some more blogging.

Will's Surprise

A couple of weeks ago, Will flew to kansas City, and flew a helicopter back to Atlanta, flew here for a day and then flew back to Kansas City, and then flew home.


One day he surprised us by flying over the house. It was so good to see him, even if it was from 2000 feet below.

Mmmmmm....Bread

I've been wanting to make our own sourdough bread for a very long time, but have been afraid to try. And for a while I was avoiding wheat, and was really not ready to make wheat-free sourdough bread, so I didn't. Finally I was back with wheat and ready to try it. I met a new friend who offered to give me some of her starter and in 4 days, we had bread!!!! It is soooooo good. And I am very happy to be able to make sandwiches again.

I think I've always been a pioneer girl at heart (except that I love my washing machine, computer and television), and making our own bread gives me such a feeling of doing things the old-fashioned way, the way they've done it since Biblical times. I am loving it!!!

Cousins

Recently we had family in town and went to see my niece Lizzy's dance competition in Atlanta. Here are some pictures of the cousins, Baylee, Lizzy, Cody and Ben. It was such a great weekend. We saw my sister Jenai and her husband Keith, their kids, my dad and my mom. Lizzy and her team were amazing and they won 1st place!!! And my mom stayed with us a couple of extra days. It was sooooo good to see them all.
