Our Family: Kaylin FIRST lost tooth...

"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Kaylin FIRST lost tooth...

On November 29th kaylin lost his first tooth! He had been wiggling it for days and that morning he came in and it was barely hanging on so i told him to just pull it out...it took him awhile to get brave and do it but all the sudden it was out!!!
He was so excited for the tooth fairy to come to him but he was so worried that she wouldnt let him keep his first tooth so he wrote her a cute little note and asked if he could keep his tooth and still get a prize!
here are the pictures from his morning!

He woke up and ran into my room and woke me up and said that the tooth fairy left him a bottle of glitter, I asked him if that was all she left and he said "ya". I laughed a little cause i knew there was more...i said well did you open your bottle to see the glitter, he said no and hurried and opened it was was so surprised that there was more!

She left him: Bottle for future teeth, magic glitter, a $5 bill that was dusted with magic fairy dust, and a fairy coin (half dollar) along with a cute little tiny fairy letter that she wrote him in a bag with his tooth!
I would say the tooth fairy did a good job being how is was her first time coming to our house!!

Kaylin's Funnies!

"kaylin you need to sleep in your own big boy bed"

"but that is my 3 year old bed and I'm 4 so now I can sleep in this bed with you. its a 4 year old bed"

set up: kiptin pulled the filter off the vacume and I couldn't figure out how to put it back on.

(a very stupid mom moment for sure...its sad when your 4yr old is smarter then you)

“One’s life….cannot be both faith-filled and stress-free….Therefore, how can you and I really expect to guide naively through life, as if to say, ‘Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!’ Real faith….is required to endure this necessary but painful developmental process.” Neal A. Maxwell
