Riley and her friends

Riley has been friends with Kimberly and Anna since September 2007. The three girls are so different and yet they compliment one and other so well. There should be a movie about them! These pictures were taken at Anna's birthday party. The girls eating Pixie Sticks Anna kissing Riley for giving her Horse Back Riding Lessons as part of her gift. Kimberly and Riley playing around.

Camden's First Loose Tooth

Camden has had a wiggly tooth for quite a few months and it seems like it never loosened. Until miraculously overnight, it wiggled every which way. Camden worked at the tooth for a full day and finally pulled his tooth around 8:45 pm on June 27th. The tooth fairy came a day later per Camden's request, and the tooths worth....$5, plus a wii Game! The toothfairy responded to a note camden wrote to him, and so Camden now knows his toothfairy by name...Scott. Apparently there are many toothfairies out there and they are assigned to children...did you know that? Man life is way more complicated these days compared to when we were young.

Visiting the Dudrow's in MSP

On our way home from Iowa, we stopped in Minniapolis to visit my cousin Brian and his family. We were only able to visit for a couple of hours, however it was nice to see my relatives, and meet one of the newest additions to the family.

Long awaited post

Our first year of home schooling was a success, and the kids are excited to start again soon. We are on out summer break until the end of July; so for now I am putting together the curriculums to submit to the District Offices. I have also been experimenting with gluten free, sugar free, and dairy free recipes...check out my favorite recipes blog for recipes. And can I tell you how much I love Jillian Michaels 30 day shred video!!! I also mix it up with Tracy Anderson workouts as well...totally feeling the burn.
