First of many

Darling,
You FINALLY lost your first tooth at 7.5 years old. We've been talking about it coming out all day and while snacking on an apple watching Toy Story 3. All of the sudden you exclaimed, "Mom, I lost my tooth" and pulled it out of your mouth. So exciting! You had been pushing that darn tooth always backwards for a few days and finally it came out without no pulling needed whatsoever.
Love ya babe!

Girlfriend

I picked you up from school today and we had a date at Red Robin - special request to go to the one where your girlfriend Megan works. So off we went and in usual RR style it was a mad house but we got to sit her section.

Watching to two of interact is awesome. You love her and she loves you. She asked you who your Valentines were and you said "my mom and you." It was really cute. You saw this supermodel on TV and said "mom, you're prettier than her." my little charmer.

Thanks for a great night. We laughed a lot!

Hugs, mommy

New

Welder

Darling,
Dad is teaching you how to weld. You have your own welding mask and everything. My little tradesman!

Monster Trucks

Baby doll,
Dad took you to the Monster Truck show last night. You guys had a great time. It was loud. Which ones were your favorite?

Slopes

Darling,
We headed to Eldora today for your first real experience on the "big" mountain with your board. Dry roads, 30 degrees and sunshine and NO wind! We couldn't have asked for a better day. You did great minus two minor meltdowns. Cole low on food is not a happy Cole. We fueled up and were back on the slopes. We got in five runs!

So proud of you monkey. Thanks for a great day!
