Birthdays and Swim Meets

Swim Meets and Birthdays! We celebrated both of our birthdays at swim meets this year. Mine happened to fall on a swim meet day, and Matthew's the next week was the day after a swim meet (Wednesday night meets - we had them most Wed. nights and most Saturday mornings). The people we shared the pop-up tent with were really sweet and put up streamers and brought cupcakes for us. I made special brownies the next week for Matthew. It was a lot of fun, and something that will happen pretty much every year, unless we quit swim team for some un-thinkable reason! And, of course I never took my camera to the swim meets (there was enough stuff to schlep!), but one of our tent-mates took TONS of pictures and made a slide show. I will see if I can put it here, too!


The kids painted new pictures for Matthew's office, for a birthday present.
Oh, and yesterday both kids went to the dentist. Wyatt's front tooth was about ready to come out, so the dentist gave it a little help! So cute with a toothless grin! He also finally decided to have the tooth fairy come (since he had a stock-pile of three teeth out, four total, but he accidentally threw one over the fence b/c he thought it was a piece of his apple!). She was very generous and brought him 3 sparkley (litterally!) one dollar bills! He had me leave a note for her asking her not to take his teeth! :)
Matthew blowing out the candle on his brownie! We actually went out to a nice dinner with friends for his birthday!
