Can Mia be old enough?!?! Oh yeah!

We were enjoying dinner last night when Mia said "Mom, my tooth feels funny." I leaned over and checked and sure enough she has a loose tooth. A few minutes later I felt that I needed to check further. And there is not just one loose tooth but 2!!!

So here's our quandry.

While we look forward to celebrating this amazing milestone with her we don't want to go the "Tooth Fairy" route. Any suggestions!?!?

Mia

Of course you all know that Mia is my right hand girl.
She is my helper no matter what my project.
Here you see her practicing for her upcoming barrel race!
So excited... now if she could just concentrate.

But in her off time from horseback riding she is helping me make sure our newest angel and I get all of our protein every day.
So as I sat down momentarily this morning to handle a computer task:
she asked if she could put my eggs into the pan for me.
I said sure!
Boy, was I amazed when I walked over to find not scrambled eggs but an actual omelette!!!!
Her finished product!
Thanks for all of your help, Mia!
Mommy loves you very much!!!

I'm It... How did that happen?!?

Mary Grace has tagged me this morning. What a wonderful surprise.


1. Go to the 4th folder where you keep your pictures on your computer.

2. Post the 4th picture in the folder

3. Explain the photo.

4. Tag 4 fellow bloggers to join in the fun.


This is my AngelBaby looking absolutely eccstatic about her very first day of Kindergarten in the public school. She couldn't have been happier. I have the absolute best pictures of her from this day. Oh, I only paid $4.00 for her cute little dress. (for those bargain shoppers among us).

Little did she know that she would only attend this school for 2 weeks as Mom and Dad heard the Lord say "Pull her out and homeschool her!" And so we did. Six months later we are thrilled that we have brought her home.

So now I get to tag 4 lovely bloggers:

1. JoyfulChaos

2. Jodi

3. Denise

4. Angi

Enjoy and have a blessed day! Thanks MaryGrace for making me smile today!

You know your babies are growing up when...

They have to pose everytime you pick up your camara:

Fiesta anyone...

We were invited to a friend's house on Tuesday to enjoy a Fiesta. And what fun we had! Mia didn't know what to expect despite my telling her repeatedly about the party we were going to.

When we arrived we found little girls dancing in beautiful spanish/ mexican dresses, chihuahuas, Mom and Grandma and older sister all decked out in their Fiesta wear. We had tacos, played lots of games, and danced and listened to Mexican music. Suddenly Mia didn't want to leave. Even though she had more adventures awaiting her.

Then Mia had a princess evening with another friend of ours. She was bell of the ball, spoiled rotten. She got treated out to dinner, taken to the toy store, made to feel special and got to sleep in the big bed! Then she met me the next morning and we were off on more amazing adventures.

Amazing late night!!!

Wow! What an amazing time of fellowship we all had last night. We carpooled and drove to Pensacola to meet David Eells and his fellowship group. www.unleavenedbreadministries.org We had a blast yakking all the way there. How refreshing!
We arrived at David's in plenty of time to enjoy meeting him and some of the brethren that gather every Sunday and Wednesday. I learned much about the Jubilee! And here I thought it was every 7th year. It is the 50th year! We discussed Leviticus 25:10 and Joshua 3:7. Simply amazing!
Cat, the Lord is talking directly to you- we just talked about your thoughts on Jubilee the other day!
We had the priveledge of having a local celebrity along for the ride- Kristie God has truly blessed you what a pleasure to spend several hours with you.
I want to say thank you to my boss, Jeremiah @ Golden Gulf Limousines (www.goldengulflimousines.com) for allowing us to use the van.
We are old-fogies we fell into bed when we got here about 1:45am. I can't tell you the last time we got home that late. The Lord blessed me thought as my friend had kept both of the kids and for the 1st time in years I woke up on my own- no phones ringing, no knocks on my door, and no screams from down the hall.
Have a blessed day everyone!
