Milestone

Olivia lost her first tooth today! Another one is hanging on by a thread. She won't have a toothless grin for long because the permanent teeth are already coming in.

A Day with Thomas

Paxton's dream came true. He got to see Thomas the Tank Engine and ride on his train. I have to say it was worth all the stresses of traveling to see the smile on my little boy's face as the train pulled away from the "station". There were lots of activities for the kids. Paxton didn't want to leave when it was time to go.

Paxton was not a big fan of Sir Toppem Hat:


Here's what happens when I let my brother hold Sawyer. He got his first tattoo.

Keeping Busy

I've been trying to keep the kids busy while we are in Nebraska. I know they miss Jody, Mamaw and Papaw so I want them to have a good time while we are away. So far we've celebrated the 4th of July, gone to Railroad Days, visited the zoo, and went swimming a few times. The highlight of our trip will be riding Thomas the Tank Engine next weekend. Paxton is beyond thrilled to be going. I have to admit I'm a little excited too.
