He's lost it, and he'll never be the same

Yep, Carter lost his first tooth. I don't know why this makes me so extremely sad, but it does. This little boy just got his first tooth, and now he's already lost it. :( He is growing up way too fast, and I just want to slow it down. One of my favorite stories about Carter and losing teeth: When Ava started losing her teeth, Carter was determined to lose teeth too. We caught him in our bathroom with floss around his tooth, trying desperately to pull it out! As far as Carter is concerned, losing his tooth is a dream come true! Well, it's time to face it...my little guy is growing up. :(

Favorite of the week

I'm pretty much loving this page right now. I think "Totally Loving it" would be the appropriate term. :) I just love when a page comes together just as I had pictured it. It doesn't happen that often, but when it does, ahhhhhh! It's one of those little things that makes me happy!

I know Tanya, it's one of those "typical Ashley pages with typical Ashley colors", but what can I say, I love what I love. :)

The Football Game and our Mini Cheerleader

Ava did a great job "mini cheering" at the football game on Friday night. She had so much fun doing a dance and cheers at half time with her friends! The boys loved running around and hanging out at the game. Grandma Natalie, Grandma Cindy, Grandpa Dwight, Aunt Michelle, Aiden and Makayla came to watch Ava too! Ava had a huge smile on her face the whole time!

She did great on the dance!

The game (we lost BIG TIME by the way.)

Weston watching the game

Coleson got up in front of everyone, picked up one of the cheerleading signs and started entertaining. The high schoolers were cracking up at him and were all giving him high fives. It was pretty cute...he was eating it up!

Dad and the boys

Makayla was in a cheerleader daze!

Wild boys!

Future Mini Cheerleader?? :) He thought he was pretty funny!

The one that *almost* got away

I was scrapbooking and looking through last years pictures when I stumbled upon this diamond in the rough. This pic was smack dab in the middle of about 20 terrible pictures of the twins not looking, backs of heads, etc. Just as I was about to click "delete" to the set I had highlighted, I thought I better take a closer look at this one. I LOVE this picture! He is such a weirdo! He is, and has always been, so expressive. I'm pretty sure this is his "smile for the camera" face, and he's thinking he looks pretty cute! What a little stinker...he just makes me laugh!

Back at it!

Now that fall is in the air, I'm back into scrapbooking! I've done almost 30 pages in the last few weeks, 10 of which I did at my scrapbooking day today. 10 hours, 4 girls, no kids...paradise!

I'm still trying to keep my New Year's Resolution- at least one 1oo page book ordered by the end of the year. We shall see!

Family Pictures 2010

Thank you so much to my friend Tanya at Riverside Photography for taking our family pictures! I love everything about them! I finally have a current picture of all four kids, which I have been tring to achieve for months. :) Thanks again Tanya- I can't wait to take your family pictures in a few weeks!

Puddle

This pictures melts me into a big, giant puddle. I always tell him that if he wasn't so cute, I would sell him. :) He is a busy, crazy, wild, frustrating, irritating little boy, but he is also sweet, thoughtful, smart, funny and amazing. I love you Coleson John, more than words can say.
