 Extra special Father's Day... spontaneously drove to Omaha to watch the Gators play in the College World Series and were handed 3rd row seats behind home plate by the president of the College World Series and hi wife.  Also got VIP hospitality suite passes... so grateful to such generous and kind people!  We promised to pay it forward. :)  Had the best time, despite the Gators' loss.... certainly a memorable evening for us all and loved to see how truly excited the boys were about it too!







 Sweetest Daddy and his little guys... my 3 loves!!!
 Our little puppy guy!  Maxy and I had a special date last week to see a musical called "Dogs" put on by some preschoolers just his age.  He loved it so much and especially liked the guy in the "firedog" costume and really wanted to recreate it at home, so this is what we came up with. :)
 Art club buds... made fun 4th of July tie dye shirts!
 Second lost tooth!!

First Lost Tooth!!

Cole lost his first tooth today!!!  He was doing a nature camp at the Wilderness Science Center and I'll never forget him running up to me holding his tooth in a bag saying, "Mommy, I lost my tooth!"  He was so excited and proud.  He's been waiting for this day for a while.  The tooth had been hanging by a thread and I told him yesterday that maybe it would fall out while he was at nature camp.  He said he tripped and bumped it on a stool or something he was carrying and it fell out right into his mouth.  It sure changes his smile.  What a big milestone for my sweetest almost 7 year old who I love to pieces.
