Busted!!!

Sunday night I was watching a movie trying to relax when I heard one of the kids walking upstairs. It was Cameron all excited that he had lost another tooth!

As usual I told them to put it in a little plastic bag and place it under his pillow, so the tooth fairy could get it.

Well after the movie I went upstairs to retrieve the tooth and place money under his pillow. Just as I reached the bag and started to make the switch he opened his eyes, looked at me, smiled, and said: BUSTED!!!

We both started laughing. Now he knows that the tooth fairy does not exist. He's been kind enough not to tell his sister. But I was talking today and he does not believe in any of the other fictional characters that bring him presents, except for Santa of course!

Snowboarding

So I finally had the guts to go snowboarding. I went the Sunday before last with Amos, Cody, Trish, and Leslie.

Leslie and I took a class in the morning, while the others enjoyed their rides. It was frustrating at times during the class. I didn't particularly enjoy falling on my bum so much. My tail bone is still sore.

The main thing I learned in the morning was that I shouldn't have so many layers of clothes on. It makes it really hard to bend and try to get up on your board. Needless to say at lunch time I had to strip a couple of layers. After that I was able to get up on my board and enjoy a nice ride down the hill.


Last Sunday I was brave enough to go again. I'm proud to say that I didn't fall near as much. My bum is very happy about that.

We took the kids and they had a lot of fun. They both enjoy playing in the snow and going down the hill. Isabelle still needs a little help, but she never complains about falling. She gets up and goes again with a smile on her face.

Baby Shower

My brother Sam and his wife are so cute together. They are expecting a little boy, Ethan. I can't wait for him to get here!

My brother is kind of clueless about babies. It's been fun to hear his comments, such as him thinking that all babies are about 2 lbs when they are born, or that a box of wipes will last at least a year.

I'm sure they will be great parents. They are very excited. And they will have lots of family to help with whaterver they need.

Last saturday we had a baby shower for them. It was a lot of fun. Roberta's friends and family came over. She got lots of good stuff.

Snowboarding

Last year we decided we needed to get into some winter sports. We do a lot in the summer, but winters have always been kind of slow. So for Christmas this year we got our kids snowboards.

I knew Cameron would love it, but I wans't sure about Isabele. She is getting girlier and girlier the older she gets. But she loved it!

The kids have had a lot of fun going with dad. Maybe one of these days I will get brave enough to go try it out!

Wisdom Teeth

Not sure why we call it wisdom teeth. Because if we were really wise, we wouldn't go through the pain of having them extracted.

After so many years of having people tell me I should have mine pulled, I finally got the guts to do it. I was so nervous. I don't know why I'm so afraid of getting any dental work done. I work at a dental office! I should be comfortable sitting on that chair!

Anyway, everything went fine. Thanks goodness for nitrous!

New Year's

Every year on the 1st of January my family gets together and eats Japanese food. My mom says we do it for good luck. Maybe this year it will really work, and I'll have lots of it...ha ha ha

We always have a lot of fun together. This year we got together at my sister Jen's house. The girls (I should say, some of the worth it.
