A Visit From The Tooth Fairy!

I cannot even tell you how long this tooth has been loose! I was beginning to think it was never going to fall out! He said he was messing with it during class, and it fell out, and then his best friend announced it to the whole class. Dylan couldn't have been more proud! He looks so cute with that little empty space in his mouth!

The Tooth Fairy came and left Dylan 5 dollars! He was a little disappointed. He thinks that since it was a major tooth, he should have at least gotten 10!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

It was a day of family, football & amazing food, cooked of course by my Grandma.
Everyone ate way too much, even Maddie had a little plate, and she loves those cranberries!!
I have so much to be grateful for & I am truly blessed.

I hope everyone else had a wonderful holiday!

Big Bear...

My Grandparents have this little cabin in Big Bear that Cody has been wanting to go to for years...and we finally made it!

It was cold...never above 50 degrees, but it was beautiful. Huge trees everywhere, little (and some not so little) cabins right by the lake, and the tiniest, cutest little village ever.

We only stayed one night, which was fine because that's about how long it takes to see everything there. We walked through the village, looked in all the little Christmas themed shops, and drank hot chocolate. Did I mention how cold it was?

Then we spent the evening with one of Cody's friends...because of course my husband knows someone all the way up in Big Bear...why would this be a surprise?

While we were trying to get Madison to go to sleep, Cody built the best fire ever...he was very proud of himself...we don't make many fires in LA.

Anyway, I took absolutely NO pictures this trip, because my hands were too cold to mess with the camera. But take my word for it...Beautiful!

These are getting increasingly difficult to take each month.

This time, she has decided to eat her 9 month sticker.

My Little Star

Dylan & I drove an hour away to Torrance for his first commercial shoot today.

The commercial was for a local restaurant, Norm's. There were a lot of other kids on set, so he was thrilled! Half of the time he was in the restaurant filming, and the other half he was in the school trailer. I wasn't able to watch them shoot, so I hung out with the other Moms.

It was a great day, a long day, and an awesome experience!

His commercial will be on TV sometime in the Spring of 2010, so it's still a while away...but don't worry, I'll remind you!

School Pictures!!

This is my 3rd one of these, and I am so glad to add this to my collection!

I feel so old to have a "collection" of school pictures hanging on my wall. Most of my friends don't even have one of these yet!!

They are so great! The whole experience of school pictures is amazing. You send money in an envelope to school, the whole time worried that your child's class will be the last to have their pictures taken, so of course their hair will be all messed up and their clothes dirty. Then you have to wait another 6-8 weeks to see them!!

Of course, like any mother would say, no matter how messed up their hair is, I am never disappointed...he always looks perfect!

Family History...

Dylan's class has been working on a family project for a while...collecting pictures, old recipes and artifacts, and making a family tree.

Today is the day that all their hard work is showcased!! All the parents were invited to the classroom to see the "Family History Museum". The kids really worked hard, and they all turned out really great!
