Virgina, Losing Teeth and Potty Training

Second tooth lost this weekend!


Last weekend we went to Virgina for the weekend. Shawn's sister Nikki moved to Virgina were her husband is stationed at. Shawn's mom and dad were also there for the weekend. It was a great weekend. When we were there Sydney lost her first tooth. At first she was not happy about it and got really upset because somebody at school said that when you lose a tooth you are ugly. We all told her that she is not and that she is beautiful. I can not believe how mean kids are.


This weekend she lost another tooth. She has lost both top teeth and she has a bottom one that is ready to fall out soon. We are all most done with soccer for the season and she is already talking about signing up for it again. She is also in brownies which we will start that next week.


We have been working with Brooke on potty training and I think she got it. She is wearing big girl underpants and only wearing pull ups at night


My girls are growing up way to fast!!! I wish you could slow it down for a little bit. The girls are so excited about Halloween this weekend. I will be posting a blog on Monday with pictures.

Weekend Trip To Tennesse

We took a family trip to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee for the weekend to met Shawn's Dad and Mom Wilson for the weekend. Shawn's Uncle and Aunt that lives about an hour from there also came in to see us. The weather was great and a great time was had by all. We did all agree though that we need to go back next year and go for a week because there was so much to do and see that just the weekend is not long enough. We did some shopping in Pigeon Forge and in Gatlinburg. The drive was so pretty because the trees were changing color. We will be going back for sure.

In North Carolina on the mountain to make sure the rocks don't slide.
On are way to Tennessee.

Welcome to Tennessee!!!


Over looking Gatlinburg at night. This picture is not the best you really had to be there to see how beautiful it really was.

From the movie Forest Gump! They had a restaurant and shop.


It was cold at night poor Brooke was cold and had to borrow daddy's jacket.
