Just Had to Share....

Fun at the Ohio State Fair! Alyssa and Jenna both love the Merry-go-Round, and Jenna loved the little Scrambler!


Jenna had her first dentist appointment, and she did great! She has 20 teeth and no cavities! She kept her mouth opened when they cleaned and checked her teeth, but she wouldn't use the "straw." She said she will when she "gets bigger!" She loved getting a new toothbrush, floss, toothpaste and toy from the treasure box!



Fun at Deer Creek! Jenna was finally able to use her Princess fishing pole. She had a great time. I can't remember if this was before or after Jenna got the hook in John's finger when she tried to cast her own fishing pole :) He casted the pole from then on!


This has been the most wonderful couple of weeks! I have had so much fun with Jenna and Alyssa lately. I just get so upset when I think of how often I take them for granted or get upset with them when they won't go too sleep early enough or do exactly what I want. I just can't imagine my life without them! Sorry-I won't ramble on any longer. It was just hard this morning because I took them to their sitter's house for two hours while I worked in my classroom. I hated leaving them, but I knew we needed to start getting back into a routine. It made me feel both sad and glad when Jenna didn't want to leave with me!!! I am glad to know she is happy at the sitter's, but I thought she would be ready to go with me right away!
Tomorrow we have our first soccer practice for the fall season. Jenna isn't exactly thrilled yet that we are now Team Burn instead of Team Fire. She thought we would be the same team again. I am excited to coach again, but I am a little worried that we only have 4 girls and 2 boys on the team. We'll see how that goes!
I am so excited to take Jenna to Preschool Open House on Thursday night! I can't believe how much she is growing up. We went to Gap and bought her the most adorable dress and matching headband to wear on the first day! I can't wait to see how cute she is in her dress and Princess backpack! You know I will have plenty of pictures to share from her first day!
I just had to share too that John and I will be married 8 years on August 14th. It doesn't seem possible that we have been together almost 14 years total...He is a great dad and husband!

I know exactly how you feel about the babysitter!!! I had a certain sitter and my lil girl used to say,"shoo shoo off you go, mom!!!" and of course she didn't always want to leave when I got there to pick her up!

    Congratulations on your anniversary! In June Dan and I had our 22nd anniversary! Wow time really does fly!

I, too, have had the best few weeks w/my boys also!!! :) And I totally can relate to what you wrote about taking them for granted and getting upset w/them! I am the same way, but, at the end of the day, I see what good kids they are! You have such sweeties!!! I say it takes a great parent to have such great kids!!!! :))
