Missing a tooth

Mom: Oh finally your tooth came out. How did you loose your tooth?

Steven: Well, I was chewing on a piece of gum and I stuck it to a thumb tack in the wall and when I bit down on the tack my tooth came out.

Mom: (shaking my head and laughing) Really, where is your tooth now?

Steven: I don't know I couldn't fine it.

Mind you this is all when he was suppose to be in bed. I just had to shake my head. We still haven't found his tooth, which he is a little upset because he doesn't think the tooth fairy will come now. I guess, by all means she shouldn't since he was being naughty and not in bed! However, I don't think she is that mean. Hahahaha!

Austin's Silly Dance "Nobody's perfect"

The kids were playing around one day being silly and making up dances to "Hannah Montana". Austin was just hilarious.

Lego building

Austin has just recently started making his own creations with legos, so it was nice to get some sets from his birthday with direction he could follow. One night he wanted to put one together so I sat down with him and showed him how to read the instructions and he basically did the rest. He would ask me occasionally for help if he couldn't figure it out. This particular one has lots of moving pieces.

Happy 5th Birthday Austin

I cannot believe my baby is 5. He was so excited to have his birthday. We tried to talk him into having a family birthday and going to the new indoor water park/hotel that just opened by us, but he shot that idea down. So we had a fun birthday a the local bouncy house place. The kids all had a blast. The first picture was taken on his actual birthday (April Fools) at home and then the others are from the party with his friends a few days later.

Alpacas of America

Today we visited the Alpacas of America Ranch http://www.alpaca1.com/service/our_ranch.asp Alpacas live mostly in South America high up in the mountains. They resemble a small llama, although I guess their temperment is much more pleasant. They are smaller than a llama and are so much cuter. They are two different breeds of alpacas, the first two pictures show the Huacayas which have fiber more like a bear. The last picture is of a Suris breed which has fiber that is more like dreadlocks. The fiber is similar to sheeps wool, although it is warmer, not so prickly and bears no lanolin which makes it hypoallergenic.
