All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth
Ella hit a milestone today...her two front teeth came out. When Ella was about 2 years old she fell and knocked her two front teeth out. We had a bridge built and she has had the bridge in her mouth for 3 years. At her cleaning last month her dentist said it was time for the bridge to come out. Blake had a routine cleaning appointment this morning so we made Ella's appointment at the same time to have her bridge removed and sealants put on her teeth. They were both soooooo nervous about going today. They always cry on the way there and then are happy once we're there. We have an amazing pediatric dentist. Trust me, they should be amazing with the amount of money we pay them. Blake did great and so did Ella. She was so brave. Ella's hygenist is named Katie and always carries Ella into the dental room. Katie doesn't work in the othodontics part of the practice but because Ella loves Katie so much they scheduled Katie to just go in the back and sit with Ella to make her more comfortable. See, I said they were amazing! I cried when they brought her out and she showed me her toothless grin. They are all growing up so fast and I just wish I could slow it down, just a little bit. Here's my baby's toothless grin!

The First Post
So my very oldest friend (years I've know her, not age) started a blog about her son and titled it "So I Don't Forget" I found it so moving that not only did I decide to create a blog about my kids, but I stole her title too. Love you Bethany!!! So I know this first blog will probably be boring to most. However, I'm not writing this blog for anyone but myself and my kids. So if you read it and don't like it or are bored by the content....oh well! I'll start with my youngest and work my way up.

You just got your lerner's permit.
You work at Wendys.

You drive us absolutely insane most of the time, but I'm pretty sure that's what you're supossed to do at 17.
I love you like you were my own and I hope you know it!
I know that first post was pretty lengthy, but from now on they should be a little shorter hopefully. I love my kids so much and I question everyday if I'm a good enough mother. I want them to grow up and be strong adults, able to speak their mind and stand their ground. I want more for them then I've ever wanted for me. I want them to feel safe all the time. I want them to be protected from every evil that exists. Most of all I want them to know Jesus on a personal level and grow in his Word. Michael, Spencer, Blake and Ella....I love you guys, more than you'll ever know!!!
