Birthday Time!

For Ian's bday we did a Star Wars theme!
We couldn't find a Star Wars cake so we had to get a generic cake and add Star Wars figurines to it.

He's about to blow out the candles...

He received many wonderful presents thanks to family and friends!

We also did a pinata shaped like the #5!

For Audra's 3rd bday we did a Minnie Mouse party.

Here she is posing by her cake for a picture...

Here's a better look at her cake.

Here she is getting ready to open presents... We also did a pinata shaped like the #3 but she didn't want anything to do with breaking it open.

Preschool Graduation!

Ian was so excited, but he started to get nervous when more and more people came in...
Here's Ian afterwards with his certificate!

This is Ian with all of his teachers. They have been great, we feel so blessed to have had him in such a wonderful preschool, with such wonderful patient teachers!

We were able to sneak a family photo in before graduation...

Ian with his cousins (and Audra of course).

Tooth Emergency!

We had a bit of an emergency at our house Friday night. Ian and Audra were playing and got into an argument which ended in Audra pushing Ian. Somehow Ian fell and hit his two front teeth so hard that it twisted one sideways and twisted the other sideways and up into his gums into his permanent tooth. I paged his dentist who met us at his office. Unfortunately his teeth had to go, there was no way to save them. The dentist thinks we have a good chance that his permanent tooth might have little to no damage, but we won't know until it comes in. Ian was very brave so we bought him a Star Wars clone trooper gun. He is very upset now that he realizes the teeth are gone until his "big boy teeth" come in, which is why it was so hard to get a decent smile from him. He has handled the pain really well and did better than we both expected at the dentist's office. We have to take him back in two weeks just to make sure everything has healed up ok.
