Christine turns 5!!!

I believe Birthdays are really important. We didn't do the big party like usual because of weather and with the new house stuff. So this is how we celebrated my baby turning 5.

We had a 4 girl friends come and join Christine and I for dinner. My best friend Linda was also there to help me with the girls. Todd was over seeing a work party at the new house. The girls are all friends and got along really well. Grace has the yellow crown, Alex has the blue crown, Christine has the red, Rebecca has the purple, and Jaidyn is in the pink.


We were at Angela's Mexican restaurant. Our Favorite waiter Tony served the girls double shot Shirley Temples and quesadilla's.


As we left I got one more picture of the crew at Angela's. We had a great time! On the way to the movies I was serenaded to all the songs of High School Musical and got to hear how cute Troy Bolton was. For goodness sakes these kids are only five and younger and already talking about cute boys. CRAZY!!!!




This was the pack at the movies. We took up the hole isle. We saw Game Plan with the Rock. It was really cute and the girls really liked it.









This was after the movie. We played some games and then went home. Doesn't everyone look tired.




The next morning we got up early and had breakfast with the Willaman Clan. Here is Christine and Matt snuggling up at Hearts.

Christine loses her first tooth!

Christine lost here first tooth on Tuesday the 2nd. It was wiggle and bothersome at school the teacher looked and saw it hang by a thread and told her to pull it out. She saw a little blood and asked her teacher pulled it out. She was a real trooper.

Christine didn't want to put it under her pillow because she wanted to keep it. So we had to write the tooth fairy a note to see if she would leave it for her. The tooth fairy let the tooth and a dollar.

Christine, Rebecca, & Daisy

Christine & Rebecca are best friends. We were just goofing off in town. We have decorated bears like this one all over town and the kids love to get there picture taken with them.

New House is looking good!

Building this house has been get we go up there every night to see what is new. Christine likes to catch lizards and get dirty with the dogs while we are there. We just can't wait to get in there.

Josephine County Fair

The fair was great fun!!! The girls got to hold little ducklings.

Below Christne is petting a baby calf. The girls really enjoyed the Petting Zoo.


Here the party girls are riding the rides with hands in the air. Look at those smiles ;)

Linda's Mom Peggy was great she paid for the girls to ride the rides and she also bought some really good fair food. You know the kind cotton candy, ice cream.....we were on a sugar High!

The picture above was of the girls showing off there rocks they got at the gem booth.

The Fair was a really fun time. The girls rode every ride they were tall enough for and crashed hard when they were done. We got to walk around and look at all the exibits when we need the shade.
We love the fair!!!!!
