Keenan thoughts

While eating some delicious, homemade (yup, I had to through that in there) cupcakes - Keenan decided He needed to have them at his birthday party. Keenan is already planning his birthday party for this summer....
Dad: Why do you have a birthday?
Keenan: Because Heavenly Father and Jesus wanted to give us a day to change numbers.
Not quite the answer Shaun was looking for, but very funny:)

Goin Toothless :}

When Elek was born my Mom told me "I needed to dress up Elek's birth story because it was kinda boring." Well, six years and a full mouth later Elek has a eventful story to tell....

About nine months ago living in Maryland Elek's bottom tooth started to get discolored. I figured it would get loose and Elek would pick at it and the tooth would be gone. But that never happened. On New Years Eve the family had a party. During the party my sister-in-law asked about Elek's tooth. So we were chattin about it-Brianna asked if Elek would let her wiggle it. She promptly promised him a dollar if she got the tooth out. Brianna also set Elek straight about the Tooth Fairy. (His cousin told him the fairy was really just your parents pretending. I think I was more sad then Elek was about this because we hadn't even had a chance to have the Tooth Fairy yet -I was so disappointed.) So Elek sat on her lap and watched a movie while she wiggled that tooth. Then Grandma decided the tooth would come out quite nicely with needle nose pliers. What!!! I had serious reservations about this, but decided to let Elek choose. The next thing I know - Grandpa has a pink pair of needle nose pliers in Elek's questioning mouth. Elek's little head did a tight bob and the tooth was being held up in those pliers grip! Elek's (and my) eyes were huge and Elek was off to gleefully tell everyone he "lost" a tooth and that he was a dollar richer and the promise of money from the tooth fairy.

I just love that hole in his mouth. It makes me smile every time I look at him:) I started to reflect on when the boys were babies and they got their first teeth. I just love those toothy smiles. I guess I'm just a sucker for hole-y smiles!
