Lost tooth

Payton lost her first tooth. She actually had 3 teeth loose at the same time but she was so scared to pull them out. Once she realized that she got money for her teeth she was a little more excited to pull them out. She lost her 2 bottom teeth within a couple of weeks. The second tooth pretty much fell out and she lost it. Poor Payton!

Kailei baptism

Kailei turned 8 and was baptised on Halloween. She was so excited. She wanted to get her ears pierced so bad but she had to wait a few days. We are limited with what is close by our house, but I found out Walmart (my favorite place, NOT) pierces ears. Who would have thought?

The Happenings

So now that I have internet connection and the time to download pictures here goes.
Caleb turned 10 and since I don't have an oven, we had a donut cake. Joe thought it was rediculous but I thought it was inventive. Caleb got his new Broncos jersey and hat from Grandpa and Grandma Edwards. He is getting ready for his upcoming gymnastics season with his first meet on December 12th.

Where has time gone?

Kailei turned 8 on October 20th and she was lucky to get baptized on Halloween. I don't think she will ever forget that. It was great to have all our family and our friends around for this special time in Kailei's life. All she wanted for her birthday was to get her ears pierced, so that is what she did. I thought for sure she would shed a tear, but she didn't cry at all. I was shocked....She looks so cute. It is hard to believe that it has been 8 years.
On another note, Presley is 3 and she seems to always be getting hurt. We were having family home evening and before we knew what had happened she had fallen off the wood bench at the table and it had dropped on her big toe. Needless to say she can't walk on it and it is all black and blue. We are going to xray it to see if it is broken, not that there is anything to do for a broken toe.
We are all enjoying life and the blessings that we have. Yes, we are having our share of trials right now, but I like to think about the positive things in my life because there isn't anything I can really do about the other things. It drives me crazy when people are always complaining about their situations, someone else always has it worse so be grateful for what you do have.

I am back....

Ok so I don't have internet access in our new house so I will try and be a better blogger. Presley had her birthday and she is now 3! And she is THREE....She wanted to go to McDonald's and play in the playland for her birthday. There is not a whole lot of places out in Edgewood. So we all went to McDonald's and played. The kids all had fun. While I was in Phoenix we had a little birthday party with my mom, my grandma, my sister Carly's kids and my brother Tyler's kids. Presley was the princess!

Me and Presley are having a lot of fun together when all the kids are at school. She plays really well by herself. I thought it was going to be hard for her but she kind of likes it.
The other kids are still enjoying school. Parker's football season is almost over. They weren't very good this year. In fact, they lost all their games, so far, and they have only scored one touchdown. The coaches aren't that great. They don't get the kids excited about playing, they just stand on the sidelines. He is number 62 if you couldn't tell.

Caleb is now 10 and we are having a sleepover friday night. I am so excited. Actually, the boys are pretty good. He is still doing gymnastics, if it were up to mom he would be done, but he still enjoys it. He is doing very well in school and his teacher loves him.
Kailei is turning 8 next week and we are all excited. She is going to be baptized on Halloween because that is when all the family could get together. She will always remember that day!!! She is not doing gymnastics anymore and is dying to start Jazz lessons. There is a dance studio down the street so hopefully we will get our schedules worked out so all the girls can start dance lessons.
Payton loves school but she is pretty social in class. She also is very tired after school. She usually always falls asleep after school. But she is enjoying learning.
We are all loving living in Edgewood. I love when I don't have to drive into town. I thought I would want to drive but now I am tired of it. I have made some great friends and enjoy working out 3 times a week with them. We went to TINKERTOWN a few weeks ago, very interesting place. Other than that we are all doing well and enjoying the fall.

Long week

It has been a very long week. I have been in Phoenix since Sunday, August 30th taking care of my 1 month old niece, Lisanna. My sister's son, Tahi, who is the same age as Presley, had surgery at Phoenix Children's Hospital on Tuesday. Since there was no one to watch Lisanna the week, I volunteered to come and take care of her. She is so darn cute, but when you aren't used to waking up 2 times in the middle of the night, it is TOUGH. So, needless to say, I am not thinking of having a baby anytime soon. I like having an almost 3 year old that can dress herself, can potty on the toilet and can feed herself. It is really nice. No diaper bags or bottles to fix. I have been away from my family and I miss them so much. I am grateful for a husband that let me come and he took care of the kids the week. Also, thanks to my wonderful friends Buffie and Penny for picking my kids up from their activities after school and getting them home. Great friends make leaving a lot easier. Especially thanks to Buffie for driving my son back and forth because he can't remember what activities he need to go to. Living out in Edgewood is great because of friends like her. Presley and I will fly home tomorrow and I am so excited to see my family. By the way, Tahi got out of the hospital today and we are all excited he is doing so much better.

Big day Monday

Payton will start Kindergarten on Monday so I will post her picture then. She tested on Thursday and got to meet her teacher. She is so excited to start. She is going to have a VERY HARD time getting up for school. Hopefully we will get it under control so she will be happy when she goes to school. I still can't believe she is starting school.
