Ashlyn woke up this morning telling me her mouth hurt. It was right after she brushed her teeth...so I thought she was just brushing too hard. After school she told me her mouth was still hurting. I asked her to show me where...and when I looked in there...and started feeling around....her tooth MOVED! She was sooooooo excited!!! (After all she has been reading and seeing pictures of her friend Carey who has already lost a couple of teeth!)
We even had to call people to let them know of her loose teeth! Yes...I said teeth. Her bottom two front teeth are loose....one I don't suspect will make it through the week.

Fun Weekend and Yet Not So Fun Weekend
Our family and the W. family booked a cottage and cabin on Sam Rayburn for the Labor Day weekend. It was great skiing and fun...although the water was a little cold for my liking...but the kids didn't seem to mind one bit!
We split the meals amongst the two families so it was quite affordable. Every night after dinner we would put the kids down and play "Wah-who". I am super duper competive...and well needless to say...I left cranky each night because Renee and I just couldn't win against the boys! Saturday night we stayed up late playing. Around 1 o clock Johnathan fell asleep, but I was still under a little bit of an adrenaline rush from losing...and stayed up till 2. Then at 4am...Ashlyn woke us up....throwing up! Something had set her off....it was impossible to sleep as she was going every 10-30 minutes! At 8am....Jadie woke up....and decided she needed to throw up too! So....Johnathan and I decided it was time to pack up and head home. (We didn't have any medicine with us to help control Ashlyn's vomitting.) Once in the car the girls threw up again....it just so happens that they went at the same exact time...so it was only one stop! To top it all off....as we were unloading the car...Johnathan threw out his back. He remained in bed for two days as a result. On a positive note....Jadie didn't throw up anymore after that....and Ashlyn only went a couple of more times before her body was exhausted. Fortunately, my mom came into town Sunday night and Monday to help me.
Here is the view from our cottage!

Going Away Party
Last weekend we headed into Summerwood to say good-bye to some good friends. Jim and Mary Elizabeth are being transfered to Thailand. They have always been there when we needed them! Thank you guys for being great friends. We will miss you while you are on your adventure. Please call us whenever you come back to the states!!!
Soccer and Tumbling and Jadie Trouble
Ashlyn's soccer season has started again. Johnathan is still her coach. Her games are earlier in the day than they were during the Spring season. So the weather is nicer. Jadie tries to run after her Daddy, so I have her contained in the stroller so I can enjoy the game and watch my little super star play! 
I also switched Ashlyn a few weeks ago to tumbling instead of gymnastics. She seems to do better with it, as she does not like the bars or the beam.
Johnathan and I have been having some challenges with Jadie's behavior. She has been getting trouble in school. In addition giving the babysitter an awful time! I'm glad the sitter is willing to give it another try. I have Junior League meetings about once a week, so I need a dependable teenager to watch the girls. This girl I have seems perfect! So, I'm hoping she sticks around.

Goosebumps
Ashlyn discovered Goosebumps on Wednesday. She was sitting in the bathtub, and told me she always gets bumps on her legs when she is cold. Haha....I forget all the things in life she still hasn't learned!
Yellow
I think Jadie's favorite color might be yellow. She seems to gravitate towards it, and pretty much will always choose the yellow crayon first.

Labor Day Weekend with the Q Family
We had a great time Labor Day weekend at Galveston. Surprisingly....Stewart Beach was very nice, although quite crowded. Johnathan said he could even see his toes standing in chest high water. This is rare...since you typically can't see your feet as soon as it approaches your mid shin. It was overcast most of the day so it was quite comfortable. The kids had a great time and of course were down early for bed as a result. It was a jammed packed weekend of fun.
One night, the B family came and met us for a fajita dinner. The kiddos got to swim and play. It's always good to hang out with our friends. It's sad that they are so far away and are visits aren't more frequently. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends!!!
Here are a few additional pictures that we took while we were at the park. We grilled hot dogs and had a little picnic. It really was a good time and the weather wasn't too hot.

While we were visiting, we also went and listened to a live band and ate Bar-B-Que. Everyone had a great time! (The band was pretty good too!)
