First Tooth Lost...Officially!


Taylor lost his "first tooth" officially today! When he was 4 he had to get his top front tooth pulled because he hit it on the sink. It died and then got an abscess. Then a few months ago while playing "light sabers" at a friends house he got the bottom left knocked out of place, which landed us at the dentist to get it pulled. So we were excited to see his tooth wiggling around the last week. He wouldn't let us touch it of course...so while we were at our friends house today, she got a look at it and said it was ready to come out. We laid him on the couch and my friend got a good hold of it and yanked it out! I was a wimp and couldn't do it, I was a afraid of hurting my child...thank goodness for friends or it might still be tangling!


Another cute picture of my toothless little guy.


And who could resist taking a picture of this?!


Every once in awhile we let the kids take a bubble bath with the jets on in our tub, we were just having some fun with Maddies hair, just imagine how much taller it would be if I hadn't of just cut her hair!

Since it's Valentine's Day.

Since it's Valentine's Day and I have been thinking about the days before marriage and children... I found some old pictures of Dale and I before we got engaged and then some of the actual engagment.
I thought it would be fun to see some of the these old pictures, well not that old...just 8 years old!
The proposal.

How old is he? 35 (I just tell people I just had my 10th anniversary of my 27th Birthday, I'll always be 27!)
Who eats more sweets? Me, for sure!
Who said "I love you first?" Dale. One a very cold and snowy walk in Ogden, Utah.
Who is taller? Dale. He is 6' I'm 5'4"
Who can sing better? I would probably say Me :-)
Who is smarter? I would have to say Dale, but I think I have more common sense!
Who does the laundry? We both do, but I have to say he might do a little more, because I hate it and he doesn't mind it so much.
Who pays the bills? Me, but he threatens to start...
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Dale, he has a thing about it, he always has to sleep on the right side, but that's ok because it always works out that I'm closest to the bathroom!
Who mows the lawn? Dale, and he is really good about it. I tried once, but I don't like it so much!
Who cooks dinner? I do most of the time, but Dale really enjoys cooking and trying new things.
Who drives? We both do, but Dale likes me to because he doesn't always know where he is going, and he doesn't like me telling him where to go!
Who is more stubborn? I would probably have to say me.
Who kissed who first? It was Dale, on New Year's day, after spending the whole day together and watching a movie that night...he then left to go home and I ran to call my friend to tell her all about the date, when I heard a little knock on the door, it was Dale, he said he "forgot something" I said "oh what?" he said, "I forgot to give you a kiss goodnight!"
Who asked who out first? Dale
Who proposed? Dale. He had it all planned out with his friends, they each had a T-shirt that said Cara-Will-You-Marry-ME? We were bowling on disco night, I turned around after my last turn and they were all standing there with their T-shirts on, I think they must of had them on under their other clothes.
Who has more siblings? I do, I am the oldest of 7 and Dale is the baby of 6.
Who wears the pants? I think we both think we wear the pants, but I really do! :-)

Now I'm tagging Kendra, Colby, Kiersten, Rebecca, and Adriann. Just copy this and post the answers on your blog!!!

My Favorite Things...this week.

A few weeks ago when I picked Taylor up from school, he reeked of cologne. I asked him what that smell was, he told me it was cologne. I then asked him where he got it, he told me one of his friends had it in his backpack and was sharing it with his friends. Taylor then asked me if Dad had some and could he have it. I said "Yes, he had some and NO he could not have it!" Of course those that know Taylor, as soon as we got home he went straight to our bathroom to get Dad's cologne. Of course he couldn't just put a little on...I ended up taking it away and told him if he was a good boy then we would go and buy his own, so now Taylor will smell good for the ladies!
Movie night with Popcorn!
An Orange Kiss!
Ok...so I have an addiction...Happy Hour at Sonic, a Route 44 Diet Coke with extra ice. The only problem is when I'm not looking my kids take my drink and before you know it it's gone! I think it is funny because the cup is almost as big as Maddie!
Maddie's new favorite thing to do is play in the bathroom sink with her tea kettle's, the only problem is the puddle of water she leaves behind...oh well it is only water, right?!
