Tyler the toothless wonder

On October 8th Tyler lost his first tooth. He had to have 2 teeth pulled earlier in the year because the adult teeth were growing in behind the baby teeth...think shark mouth!! So, this was his first tooth to be truly "lost". He put his tooth under his pillow and went to sleep awaiting the tooth fairy. To his dismay, the next morning, his tooth was still under his pillow. When he came to the living room, he was a little upset. I went to "check" on the situation...I found a note from the tooth fairy that stated she was sorry she was late, but she was used to him sleeping later into the morning. With the note was a $1.00 bill. This pleased Tyler:)
On October 13th, Tyer lost his 2nd tooth...however we did not get a picture...don't worry though because the 14th was school pictures, so we will hopefully get to see his "snaggle-tooth" in his Kindergarten picture. On October 15th, Tyler lost his 3rd tooth!! At this rate, he will have NO teeth by Halloween!!
He looks like our own personal jack-o-lantern :). I guess Tyler gets to sing " All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth".

Kiddie Land

Jacob went on his very first roller coaster ride. Tyler was brave enough to not only ride with a stranger (a kid he met in line), but he went "no hands" too.
The train was Jacob's favorite ride. I cannot say the same for baby Nate.
Here is Tyler completly driving the car (gas pedal and steering) as you can see Vicky is going "no hands and no feet".
Look closely, you will see Vicky, Jacob, and Tyler having a lot of fun...or trying not to lose their stomachs.

Joshua and Jacob start school

Jacob was so excited about his new Lightning McQueen backpack. He couldn't decide to wheel-it or carry it on his back.
Joshua was excited to go to school too. Actually, I think he just liked being outside and getting all of this special attention.
The two brothers...ready for school.
Here is Jacob in front of school, eagerly awaiting his teacher's arrival to come and escort him to class.
Jacob and Joshua are all ready for school...but is mommy???
