A few pics of the kids




Well in response to the many requests Kristena and I have uploaded some photos that show you our children's spirit. In the first picuture was taken tonight. Kaitlyn lost her very first tooth. I am not sure who it was more tramatic on mom or Kaitlyn. I think it was the reality that this was the last big little girl milestone. Kaitlyn is right now in bed with her room booby trapped in hopes of catching the tooth fairy. What she does not realize is that her 300+ lb daddy is the tooth fairy and I have the costume to prove it!! I will post the photos of me in the costume at a later time.

The second was on Easter morning we had made Kaitlyn hunt for their Easter baskets because Tyler had been so sick the week before. We were still trying to get him to eat some food so we had made them sit for several pictures to try and get just the right one of them in their new shades. When we looked at the ones we took this was my personal favorite. Kaitlyn is a hoot and is showing you the same look she gives us when we tell her to clean her room or eat some broccoli.

The final one was during one of Tyler's binges after he got out of the hospital. We had made mashed potatoes the night before. (by made i mean daddy heated the water and added the faux potatoes). He loved them. So for the lunch the next day Kristena heated them up and he went to town. He is his daddy's boy! For those of you wondering that is his smile. When you say smile to take his picture he scrunches up his little nose and grins as big as he can. It is the mischevious look in his eye that usually tells us he is about to get into trouble.

Well it is getting late and mommy and daddy have to decide what the going rate is for a tooth nowadays. Good night to all and enjoy the pics of our little nugget and booger!

kaitlyn's grin with her missing tooth is so cute! don't get caught in the tooth fairy trap! But for kaitlyn's sake, i'd think the going rate would be about $10?!?!? teasing. tyler's scrunched up grin is adorable. i know you both would like to keep them little forever. love ya!

John,
OH MY GOSH! I feel like i'm looking at a miniature you!! How cute. They are both adorable. I hope the tooth fairy was generous, but not too, as there will be many more teeth...

So confess how much did the tooth fairy fork over? Aren't they the cutest little people you have ever seen? I am one of the grandma's and I think all four of mine are adorable.
Love the picture of Kaitlyn and her comments on the phone about being afraid to swollow her tooth that would have been tooooo much for her. She talks so big and Tyler laughed when I said no way.
Love the pictures they say everything.

Love to all
mom
