Karly's Birthday!

We hit the road to MN for cousin Karly's 2nd birthday!  We brought Nana & Uncle Ryan along with us!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture of Sidney & Nana!
 
 
The littles wanted to hit the pool as soon as we go to the hotel!
 
They had a ton of fun!
 
Pretty soon the birthday girl herself showed up to swim along!
 
I just love having these 2 little girl cousins so close in age!
 
On Saturday we went to Apple Jack's Orchards & had a ball!
It was a little chilly, but we still managed to have a blast!
 
The kids all got pony rides!


 

Nana bought all the kids apple cider in these cute little pumpkin cups!

Aren't they cute!
 
After visiting all the animals & checking out the caramels (i won't have a rant on how badly I crave MORE of those delicious caramels & WISH we had them here) we headed over for the games, rides & fun!
First up was the cow train!
 
Then we stopped by the corn pit & jumping thing, then we all ended at the apple shooter!
This took up ALOT of our time & was soo fun!
Here is P-didds getting a turn to shoot! (with Daddy's help)
 
Sidney enjoyed playing in the corn!

I even took a turn at the apple shooter! 
So fun!

The girls had fun at Karly's party!
Well, they did for most of the day!  By early evening there were some major throwdowns happening.
So Anna had a great idea to throw them in the tub!
They got along GREAT in there!
 
We had so much fun celebrating Karly's birthday & getting to catch up with the rellies!

The TOOTH FAIRY is coming!!

WHOOHOO, we're so excited! 
The Tooth Fairy will make her first visit to our house tonight!
 
Cayden lost his first tooth!  This tooth has been loose & wiggly for weeks.
Tonight Cayden was taking a shower & said he hooked a toy on it.
The tooth was laying flat in his mouth, just dangling there.
So Justyn called ME in!
(blood is NOT my thing, but loose teeth are intriguing)
So we twisted, pushed, pulled & tried.
It wasn't coming.
 So we took a break & tried again & wallah....out the tooth came!
Cayden was so thrilled!
 My gap toothed little man!!
So excited for him.
He has his tooth in a tooth fairy pouch on his door & is so excited!
At bedtime we were talking about how we used to put ours under our pillows, or I even had a tooth fairy pillow that had a pocket for my tooth.
He said "so, mom....does the tooth fairy just come & lift your head up to get the tooth?"
I said "I have no idea, I've never seen the tooth fairy"
teehee - soo excited for him!!!
