AVERY LOST A TOOTH!!!!!!

Yes....it's true!!!!
Our little Avery has lost her first tooth. Just two weeks before her 5th birthday!

She was VERY excited this morning when she bit down and heard a CRACK. The tooth had been loose, but when I saw it, I knew that puppy would be coming out today! It had that crooked, barely hanging on, bloody look to it!

She took a bite of her quesadilla at lunch and OUT it popped!!! :)


What a day!!!! The tooth is tucked safely in the tooth pillow....awaiting the tooth fairy.

Anyone know what the going rate on a tooth is these days??????
(My fourth graders told me 5 bucks......SERIOUSLY??????????)

Grandma and Grandpa Visit

It was so nice to see Grandma and Grandpa! :)

The weather was great so we got to get out and go see the tulips! They weren't all quite blooming but the start was sure pretty! TULIP TOWN was hopping.....guess they've figured out a way to make quite the living letting people come look at their tulip fields! Who knew?! :) The Mt. Vernon Street Fair was pretty cool, too! We had a GREAT weekend!

Swimming

Thank you Grams for sending some pictures of Avery in the pool!!! :)
This was definitely the highlight for her each day!!
Wish we were there now.......

Spring Break

Wow.....how time flies when you're on vacation!

We had a GREAT time this week at Lake Chelan.

The weather was awesome (sunny, upper 50's-60's) so we were able to dry out a little bit!

It was fun spending time with Grams and Gramps....although they would NEVER admit it.....I think we were a bit much for them at times. Our pace of life is a bit faster than theirs.....as is our noise level a bit higher. :) Bless them for putting up with us and inviting us to spend the week at the condo with them. It was a much needed break for all of us!

Avery LOVED the swimming pool.....

And the playground.....

All three of them.... (this place was HUGE!)

Annalise liked the swings, too!

Avery also discovered her love of putt-putt golf. (Look out Tiger! :) )

Grams and Gramps gave her a run for her money with the holes-in-one, though!

Even Mark and I got to get out and do a little golfing. It was a beautiful day....the Lake Chelan Municipal Course was really nice. We had a GREAT time!!!!

We knew that we'd be coming home just in time for the Easter Bunny so Grams and Gramps also helped us color our eggs.....good times. Did you know that they make a CAMO set for dyeing eggs???? It involves oil. Gramps worked long and hard for the CAMO eggs. The rest of us thought it was too much work. We stuck with the white crayon.....Mark did his standard "EAT ME" egg. Funny man.

All in all we had a WONDERFUL week!!!!! Good company, good food, good wine, nice weather....we were all wiped out. But we were ready for the car ride home. It started out fine....

And continued to get better......

It was a great Spring Break!!!!!!!
