Lost his first tooth

Deegen finally lost his first tooth on Thursday Oct. 14. I know I know Deegen is 7 so he’s a little behind but it’s better late than never. He noticed it was loose that Sunday and Trevor pulled it out on Thursday. We had to; his adult tooth was already popping out. He was so happy that he finally lost a tooth.

As soon as he lost that tooth the one next to it came loose. He lost that one on Saturday the 16th. I got to pull that one and I think that will be the last for me. He likes dad to do it. Deegen says that Trevor does it better than I do.

We are so glad that he is finally losing his baby teeth. He’s a pumpkin face now. Deegen has another lose tooth on top. But it has a while before it will come out. Give it another week and he will have 3 missing teeth. Kind of cute, my baby is growing up.

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY!!!

I can’t believe that 3 years have gone by since my princess came into our lives. I love having this girl around the house. It is so much fun the way she loves to do girly things. Cassidy is turning into such a big girl. She no longer lets me call her baby. When I do she says “mom I’m your big girl not your baby”. It’s cute but also sad that she is growing up so fast. It seems like yesterday I was holding her in my arms for the first time. I am so lucky to be Cassidy’s mom. She tells me that I’m her best friend (I hope it will always stay that way). I can’t believe she went from this little baby sweetheart:

To this



Then to this


Now here she is (so big)





Cassidy is so full of life; always getting into things. She loves to explore and find new things that she can play with. She loves to hang out with her big brother. She looks up to him so much. Always wanting to play with him even when he has friends over she wants to be involved. I am so lucky that Heavenly father sent her to me. Not a day goes by that she doesn’t tell me that she loves me and that I’m pretty and beautiful. And I love every moment of it. She is the biggest tease; she gets that from her dad. Trevor and Cass tease each other all the time and they both love it. She is still pretty shy (she gets that from her dad as well) but it’s nice and we hope it stays that way. She is in dance and loves every moment of it. She is the youngest in her class and she is keeping up with the older kids. She dances and sings around the house all the time. It is so funny to watch. Right now she is into the Disney Princess’s, Cinderella is her favorite but it changes all the time. Cass loves horses and wants one of her own. Cass loves to go camping and 4-wheeling. Cass told us the other day that she wants to be a doctor when she grows up. Which surprised us, she hates going to the doctors. She loves to help me cook. Every weekend she makes her dad pancakes. She does most of it; I’m just there to help with the pouring. She is such a good little cook and then when we are done she wants to do the dishes. This is a good and bad thing. More water ends up on the floor than in the sink but she’s learning. I could go on and on about her but here are a few pictures of Cass over the past year:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! We love you so much!!

Deegen turned 7

I have been so busy with life I forget to post. So I'm a week behind for Deegen's birthday. But it's better last than never. Last Sunday Deegen turned 7!!! I can't believe my little boy is already 7. Where has time gone? I remember the day he was born. He is turning into such a big kid. No longer my baby boy, even though he still loves to give his mom hugs and kisses everyday. I hope he never grows out of that. I'm so lucky to be his mom and grateful each day that he is mine!!



Deegen is a great big brother and loves his sister and can't wait for the next brother or sister to come. He is so excited. I'm due March 10, 2011. He says he wants another sister to play with. Don't ask me why girls are so whinny but I think he loves being the big brother.

First Grade and Dance Lessons

Deegen started first grade this year. He loves it. Mostly because you get to eat at school and have 3 recesses. He has a really good teacher this year and has already learned a lot. Each night is comes home with about an hour of homework. Which it's not hard but just time consuming. But welcome to life I guess. It only gets worse I hear. Deegen has so many friends at school. Each day I ask him who he played with at recess and he always says a new name. I can't keep up with all of them but for some reason Trevor can. I'm just really bad with names (that's my excuse). Trevor took him to school on the first day, I had to work of course, but they loved it and had fun.

Cassidy started dance lesson the first week of September. She loves every moment of it. She does pretty good for her age. She's learning so much. Now she dances more than ever around the house. She is so cute. Everyday she asks if she can go to dance. She is growing up so fast.

Her is dance class. So was cute cute the first day. At first she was scared and wasn't sure about it until the teacher started to dance for them and then she realized that it was ok.

Surgery

Cassidy had her tonsils, adenoid removed and then had tubes put in her ears in August. We finally went and saw an ear, throat and nose doctor in July and he said that hers were so bad that it could of been the cause of why she was so sick last winter. So we scheduled the surgery and waited. When the day finally came it was a little scary for me. To have your 2 year old have surgery isn't the funnest thing but I knew it had to be done. We had to be at the hospital at 7:15 am which was nice. The whole surgery only lasted about 35 mins but then when she came out they took her start to the pediatrics unit. We meet them in the hall and Cass was freaking out. She had a hard time waking up and her oxygen was low for about an hour. Once she finally got some pain meds she calmed down and started to eat some Popsicles. Then her oxygen went up. We were there for about 5 hours total and we didn't even get to talk to the dr after the surgery. Which made us mad. So a week later she had a check up and he told us that they were a 3+ and was blocking about 75% of her airways. Then when he cleaned out her ears to put the tubes in he said there was a lot of fluids and was surprised that she could hear as good as she does. So all and all she did great and now is doing great. She feels so much better. I hope this winter will go better than the last one.


In the waiting room, waiting to go back and get ready for the surgery. We got back there and Cass loved the outfit they gave her, they even let her bring it home.

After surgery she wasn't feeling so great she just wanted us to lay by her and not leave her sight. Which I don't blame her.

She was finally doing better and was ready to leave but they wouldn't let us. They were so nice to us on the peds unit. They gave her so many things to play with. They ended up giving her a Tu Tu and a magic wand that matched.
