Does the Tooth Fairy have wings? and The Tooth Fairy's rich!

Those are just some of the things J.J. had to say about the tooth fairy. He had many other questions too, but I can't remember them all. Seems like we talked for ages about her ever since his tooth first started getting loose. He was so excited when he pulled, yes PULLED, his tooth out at the suggestion of our home teacher. His other bottom tooth is loose as well, but not as much, and he tried to pull that out too! But it just wouldn't come. I told him to give it a few days!
J.J. very carefully put his first tooth in a baggie and put it under his pillow. He woke up at about midnight, got his money, and went to the family room and turned on the tv! Jaren went out and told him to go back to bed. But he made sure in the morning to show us his money bag and begged to go to the dollar store today. We did...after he cleaned his room. He got another big spider, kind of like the one Grandma Ford gave him, but it's hairy with wiggly legs and is attached to a pump that makes the spider jump. He LOVES it! Thanks Tooth Fairy!
For the other exciting news in our lives...

Jaren is ecstatic about football season coming. He went to the BYU bookstore today and got ANOTHER flag to display proudly on his truck. He gets a big grin whenever he mentions how soon the football game is. He's going to a friend's house in the ward to watch the game. But about 4 hours before the game, he's having a bbq with them and watching other games going on at the same time. And then after, there's another game! Looks like I'll be doing homework that night!...all night!

Oh man! I can't believe JJ lost his first tooth! He's an early bloomer! Doesn't that usually happen in first grade?! Now Lily's going to be itching for her first loose tooth! Congratulations, JJ! And, he looks so grown up. I can't believe how these kids are growing.

I saw pics of your family on Jenny's blog. Your boys are cute. And you look fantastic! I didn't get a shot of your tummy, but your face and hair look great! I miss you!

Oh boy, football season. Good luck!

P.S. I think Jaren doesn't have enough flags. He should go get a couple more. ;)

Hi Mel! Tell Jaren that I'm going to be AT the game this Saturday in Texas :) Look for me in the very top row in the far corner of the stadium. I'll be wearing blue, holding a baby in blue, next to my hot wife in blue :)

Nice truck, Jaren!

And how funny is that about JJ waking up at midnight and thinking he'd make a night of it? Ha ha! When Mitch lost his first tooth, he told me he was going to wake up to see me switch it (I let it slip that I'm the fairy) -- when I went in to switch it out he totally sat up and looked at me! Then his head fell back down and I realized he'd been asleep the whole time. Even though I knew he knew, it still freaked me out to think he might catch me.

Love the pic of Jarnen's truck, although there isn't quite enough red on there. The game was great and I am happy for the Cougars getting some respect for the MWC!
