Out to dinner at our favorite Chinese place by our house. We get sesame chicken, I get a caterpillar roll, and we are all happy.

I tucked Amber in at 10, turned around and closed the door, it opened right up and she exclaimed, My Tooth Fell Out! It had been hanging by a thread for a few days.

Bruce was set on the counter and told not to touch anything, because his hands were dirty. He obeyed.

Our little mud monkeys.

The girls played in the basement for four hours one Sunday afternoon. I found hundreds of pictures like this on the camera when they finally came up for food.

One Friday afternoon we ended up at Snowbird

We went to the Zoo with a good friend.
