TANTRUMZILLA!!!

Megan was drinking out of my water bottle two weeks ago and fell and knocked her top front tooth back up into her gums, all the way back up.  There was blood everywhere and I took her to the dentist because I thought she broke it out and found out it was still all there just back where it started.  They said maybe it will come back down on its own and we will wait and see but for now no more pacifier or it could get infected and will have to be pulled.  Well I would rather have her have a tooth than a pacifier so we took it away and my perfect little angle baby girl has turned into a tantrumzilla.  She will not nap or go to bed without me holding her downstairs in front of the TV.  She also throws lovely tantrums all day long because she may still be in pain, has no way to comfort herself because her comfort object has been taken from her and is tired.  Poor poor Megan.  Here are two pictures of her in tantrum mode and a picture of her missing for now tooth.  We sure hope it comes back.

Angry Birds

This years theme for Mark's class room is Angry Birds.  I helped Mark come up with the idea and decorated his class room for him.  He has an Angry Readers section to help get his students motivated to read more.  The boys were so excited about the decorations.

Our Summer Vacation to Philmont Scout Ranch

Our first stop on our trip was the Grand Canyon.  Henry is checking to make sure his belly button did not fall in.

Here the boys are showing us their finger guns.  Henry is trying to find his.

Megan with Daddy and Grandpa.

This is us at Meteor Crater.

Here is our tent.  Mark and the boys tented along the way and Megan and I slept in the 5th wheel with Mark's parents.

This is happy Megan right before she went of the end and scrapped up her face really bad.  I guess it was not a good idea to pull out the camera then.

This is the bush Norman fell into on day one of Philmont and got over 40 punctures in his skin.  Two had spikes in them from the bush a half inch long.

Look how dirty his hands and knees are after one day.  This is Stephen.

This is where we slept.

Henry break dancing.

Norman and Stephen dancing with cousins.

This is the girl Stephen fancied.

Henry's favorite thing was playing in the mud.

Some of the family on a tour.

Norman all decked out.

Mark on the last night. 

We went to Philmont with 20 of Mark's family members.  The first day of Philmont Megan scratched her face up really bad going off a slide head first and Norman fell in a spiky bush getting over 40 punctures in his body.  Tuesday Megan started throwing up and threw up all night.  Wednesday Mark hurt his knee and could not walk without crutches.  Thursday Stephen, Mark and I started throwing up.  This is when we decided to call it quits and come home a week early and miss the family reunion.  Today, 4 days after we get home, Norman and Henry start to throw up so the good new is there is no one left to get sick and hopefully we can get better now.  The boys had a blast and we are still glad we went.  We had lots of fun with Mark's family there.

Beach Week

We are loaded up and ready to go to the beach.

Megan hung out in the sand and with daddy.

The boys had a great time in the water.

My new favorite thing.

I used to love hair bows for Megan but now she will not wear them so my new favorite thing is tutu skirts.  My 2 friends each gave me one for her.  I only got good photos in one so far.  In the last photo I could not get her to look at me.  She was too busy making a mess in my kitchen.  I love how she holds her purse and walks around.  Yes, she is finally walking at 14 months.

Wild Hair

I told Norman I thought his hair would be curly like Megan's if is were longer so he tried to grow it out.  He refused to let me touch or cut it.  If I tried to style it he would mess it up more.  In these photos he let me run a comb through it.  it was sure fluffy.  Today I bribed him with a Slurpee and he let me shave it off.  Yeah for Slurpees.
