A tooth update!!!
Taylor has once again lost another tooth (this is her second one in two weeks). At this rate, we told her she would be eating through a straw the rest of the summer. Not to mention, the tooth fairy may go broke too! Aubrey was happy to pose with her sister and her new smile. Aubrey is now anxious for her teeth to start falling out (it will be a while thank goodness). You may notice Taylor's tooth is a little fresh looking - don't look too closely if you get squeamish looking at a bloody gum line (Sara!Meg! Look away you two...)

On Aubrey's real birthday this year, we were in AZ and took all the kids to a very fun indoor play center. Here is a little parenting tip: don't let your kids ride the spinning tea cups 4 times in a row, and NOT expect them to "spew in technicolor." What can I say - you learn something new every day!
This picture is by request from Sara - who I will once again thank for helping me figure out what I was doing wrong in the land of blog! It is also a fun reminder to her grandma and grandpa in AZ of some of the extra curricular activity they took part in while in AZ!

Our favorite day in Mexico involved a ride on a catamaran out to a natural protected reef where we were able to snorkel. I have a great snorkeling tip for any avid "snorkerlers" - it involves swimming behind someone who is sea sick - let me tell you the fish will swarm. Nevermind, it is a long and GROSS story.
Doesn't he just look like a California Surfer Dude???


Our favorite napping spot in Mexico...

Too much free time on my hands.
Tim - trying to blend in and not look like a typical tourist in the Cancun airport.
The word caption reads: our mom and dad went to Mexico and all we got were these crummy T-shirts!

p.s. Thanks Sara for all the coaching!! My blogging troubles are O-V-E-R!!!

Taylor lost her first tooth today! It scared her a little bit when it happened in the grocery store (it bled a lot for a little girl who hates blood), but then when I took her into the bathroom and showed her her new smile she was thrilled! She beamed all through the store and told everyone "I just lost my first tooth!"

Taylor left a note for the tooth fairy...

p.s. If this picture does not post. I am DONE with blogging forever...

Dum dum dum dum dum (ok my attempt to hum the graduation theme...

Taylor says good-bye to her kindergarten teacher Mrs. McSurdy. As we wrap up a great school year, I look back on this year and I am in wonder at all she has learned and how she has grown. It was a great school year and Mrs. McSurdy became a real favorite in our house. In fact, it has been rumored that she may be Taylor's first grade teacher too...

It is so hard to believe that our "baby" will be 4 in just a few short days. We had an early birthday as we will be travelling to sunny AZ over her real day! She had a great party and looks so grown-up anymore!
