Emma's new smile and Becca's dance moves

Some random stuff from the past week...

A simple preschool time activity - I colored little dots on sheets of paper and then they matched up their stickers to the right colored dot...

Emma lost her third tooth!  This one was a big deal because it was her first top tooth to come out.  It's been wiggly for more than 6 months - We're all so happy that it FINALLY came out!  The tooth fairy must have been really busy that night, because she didn't come the first night.  Emma was SAD.  That silly fairy must have felt bad because the next night she left her a sparkly dollar, a certificate and 3 cute bracelets.  :)

We had a late night last night - Ben's brother, Peter, graduated with his masters from ASU last night - after graduation and dinner at Ben's parents place, we put the kids to bed and went to see The Avengers!  It was THE BEST movie!  Poor Grandma and Grandpa ended up having a late night too when Jake woke up throwing up all over the place.  I felt so bad.  Jake seems to be fine today though, thank goodness.  So, anyway, we were going to go the water park for a couple of hours this afternoon - but I was too tired in the end to take them.  But they were surprisingly appeased by the backyard sprinkler...

Jake would not go into the water - but he kept acting like he was going to... here he is putting his fist out like a super hero counting down to run into the sprinkler... but he would finish his countdown and then just run the perimeter of the grass :)

Snack time... strawberries, pretzels, and mini marshmallows...  Claire especially loves snack time 

Here's a couple of random videos - We've been to the water park 6 times - and each time we go the kids get a little braver about stuff - on our most recent visit, Becca decided she was ready to stand under the big bucket to get wet - she did it 3 or 4 times - she was so very pleased with herself.  :)

And here's one more Becca video- she loves dancing and she gets rather creative with her dance moves.  This is nothing new for her - haha.  She didn't realize I was recording her until partway through...
