Maddy Loses her "First" Tooth

Madison called me Monday while I was out and told me her tooth was broken and it was bleeding. I immediately freaked out because it wouldn't have been the first time. After talking to her and then Jenny, I found out the tooth was loose. Madison had her top teeth pulled when she was 3 because she had fallen and chipped them. So this was her first official loose tooth. She was very excited about it. She then asked when we were going to go to the dentist so they could pull it out. I explained that she would have to pull it out when it was time. She wiggled it and messed with it for a couple of days and last night she asked if I would pull it out for her. I got it good and loose and told her to pull it the rest of the way and she did. She started jumping up and down and ran to show Micha. She asked if the tooth fairy would give her $100 for her tooth. Well she didn't get $100, she got $5 and she was thrilled when she woke up. She went running through the entire house showing everyone. She has another loose tooth and is looking forward to loosing it so she can get another $5.

Ice Cream and the Zoo

If you pet this elephant it would start making elephant noises and then spray air out of its trunk.

The kids touching some water ball thing, they thought it was pretty cool.
The high was only 80 degrees so we decided it would be a perfect day to take the kids to the Salt Lake Zoo. The kids had a great time. There was a baby giraffe that was only a week old and Maddy loved it.

Olivia was eating ice cream outside and decided to share it with Winston, aka "Woo Woo". Now don't let this video deceive your perception of Olivia, she has turned into quite the stinker lately. She has started throwing herself on the floor and kicking her feet when she doesn't get her way. She even gets angry at me and yells if I put on the wrong show for her or pick out the wrong shoes. I don't remember this stage with Maddy, although I am sure she went through it. Church is pretty much impossible and ridiculous! I spend 2-3 hours chasing her around the church and I am completely exhausted by the time I go home. One benefit of living in Utah is living 2 houses from the church so it is very convenient to just go home instead of dealing with my precious child. Olivia is really starting to talk. She says bath, woo woo, pat pat(Little Einsteins), nana(banana and her pacifier), dada, bye, up, and yeah. She has also started shaking her head no and blowing kisses. She is a very funny and entertaining girl, but man does she have some attitude!
