Mamma Said Knock You Out REMIX


Another tooth gets knocked out (this happened during VBS but I was too busy to post)....this post could have been titled "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth" but I know that Reid would think that getting front teeth for Christmas would be ridiculous. :-)

Dream A Little Dream of Me

So what happens when you spend all morning and all evening at church for VBS 2009? You "dream a little dream" while crashing in the couple of hours inbetween morning and night VBS. This is how I found Reid and Sparky on Thursday afternoon...




Trust me...they were "dreaming" hard when I found them!!! But it was probably about the Dairy King and SuperHeroes more than about me...but that's okay!

P.S....More VBS posts to come...

Mamma Said Knock You Out


See this devilish grin with the top front tooth missing? The tooth has been loose for weeks and yesterday a small miscalculation while jumping into a chair and face-planting into a table had it really loose and starting to hang. So, "Mamma said, I'm gonna knock that tooth out" and took care of it. After a few tense moments of wiggle, pull, wiggle, pull, the tooth came out...and Reid cashed it in for $2 with the tooth fairy.

Lean on Me

Awh, isn't this sweet...a sister and brother who love each other so much...Because they are so night and day, you might think that they don't get along. Trust me, they have their brother/sister moments but they really do love each other bunches and they look out for each other constantly. For example on the 4th of July, Reid and Ryan when out to shoot fireworks while safety Kendall safely watched from an open upstairs window, she lovingly screamed the entire time they were shooting, "Dad, do you think it is a good idea for Reid to have a blow torch?" "Reid, you are too close to the fireworks when they explode." "Dad, don't you think you should have a fire extinguisher for emergencies?" Ah, now that is love.

My prayer for them is that they are always "besties" deep down, they will always find a way to giggle, they will always love being together, and that they always "have each others back". Just like the words of this song:

Lean on Me, when you're not strong (weak)
I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on,
Before (five), It won't be long (short),
You're gonna need (elbow), somebody to lean on.

(If you were at Crosscamp you understand the words in parentheses.)

And just so that Mom's memories aren't completely disillusioned, Reid's true colors come shining through...
