Big Weekend

Cameron and I are enjoying the summer thus far. This week we were able to enjoy the sun, hang out with friends and Vicki had me packing and organizing my crap! All in all it's a good start....

Friday Cameron and I went over to Aunt Erica's house (Jimmy's sister) to meet their Dad who was in from Spokane. It was a very eventful evening; first, we rode the quads. I had heels on so that made it kind of interesting...lol!

Then Andrew and Cameron took it for a spin...

and then it was Cameron's turn!

Next, Cameron jumped on a bike with no training wheels and started riding it...what? I've been begging him for weeks to take those things off and we refused!

he is sooooo proud of himself!

This is Grandpa Henry.....Cameron loves his Grandpas and was so excited to meet his "new" Grandpa!

Here is everyone being goofy.....Andrew (7), Eric (4), Grandpa Henry, Joseph (8) and Cameron (6). Cameron loves playing with his "new" cousins and begs to go over there all the time!

Last but not least on Saturday Cameron lost his tooth.....look at that grin!

I was laying in bed Sunday morning and I heard my mom and Cameron talking:

Cameron: Grandma, the tooth fairy did not come! (at this point I'm kicking myself.....I even checked to make sure I had cash and still forgot!)

Grandma: Maybe the tooth fairy is on vacation. She'll probably come tomorrow night!

Cameron: (now in my room) Mom, the tooth fairy is on vacation that's why she didn't come.

Mom: Yea, that sounds right...it is summer time! (still feeling like a horrible mom)

Are they going to take a knife and cut it out?

We found out 4 months ago that Cameron has an extra tooth in his mouth and they needed to pull it. The dentist wanted to let it come down a bit and boy was it an odd looking tooth. Because of the snow we has to reschedule the appointment and this week we finally got it done. Cameron was so brave. I asked him what the gas felt like when they gave it to him and he said, "it made me feel happy!!!" Oh great!

Here is a before pic

Here he is right after he was done...he started to cry and when I asked him what was wrong he said, "my lip is fat and I want it small like the other one." Never complained once about his tooth.

Look at that hole!!!!

I tried to take a pic of the tooth but it did not do it justice...it's the strangest looking thing I've seen in a while. The dentist put it in a nice little keep sake tooth box and Cameron decided to write the tooth fairy a note and ask if he could keep the tooth...I wanted to write, "please leave the tooth and show me the money!" He did not agree! The tooth fairy left $2.00!!!!!

My tooth is loose...

Have you ever read the book "Parts" by Tedd Arnold? If the answer is NO you MUST buy it--here is a blurp from the book, "So now, I'm sitting here enjoying Dr. Seuss, and suddenly I realize a tooth is coming loose! I wiggle it, amazed, dismayed, too horrified to speak. Without my teeth, how can I eat? Already I feel weak! Now I'm really worried. I'm as scared as I can be, 'Cause finally what's happening is very clear to see--The glue that holds our parts together isn't holding me!!!"

We were with other Grandma and she asked me if Cameron's tooth was loose because he looked different...I thought at first what a strange comment??? But sure enough he did look different. So, I asked Cameron to wiggle his tooth and it moved. Unfortunately, it's not the chipped tooth (thanks Aunt Jamie) that is going to fall out. When I came home and was telling my mom she even said something looked different to her too but didn't know what it was. Cameron had a minor freak out about losing a tooth but now it's become something "very cool" and he is showing everybody!!! I can't wait till he can turn it all the way around.
