Our BUSY Day!!!

Baseball, Soccer, Birthday Party, and a Lost Tooth!

Our day yesterday was CrAzY to say the least!  But it was a fun kind of crazy.  A very busy day for us all.  We started with our sports in the morning.  Avery had baseball at ten, and Silas had soccer at ten thirty.  So, Steve and I split the children and went different directions.  I sent the camera with him to soccer, because we have neglected to get any pictures from a game, and yesterday was Silas' final game of the season. That also meant that Silas came home with his first ever "gold medal!"  To him, it was as good as gold ;o)  I'll share pictures from soccer (and their trip to the park before the game began) first:

Chaille's birthday party was a lot of fun.  The day started out beautiful, so we had everything set up outside for a party... And then it began raining about 15 minutes before the party started.  So... we had an indoor party.  We had about 25 people, just family and the Dotson's and Moss', whom we consider family! :O)  Chaille didn't really care about opening her gifts all that much, but she liked playing with the cards.  I think her favorite gifts so far have been her baby dolls.  She has started sleeping with at least one in her bed.  She also really liked a necklace that Melissa got her, with a big string of purple beads!!!  She does love the girly stuff.  She got so many nice new outfits to wear, including a new bathing suit and matching cover up.  She also has  a new bookshelf for her room, that looks like a doll house, and a new lamp too!  Her room is going to be so cute and GIRLY! :O)  Her cake for the day was a princess doll and then some pink cupcakes.  The princess had dark hair, just like Chaille!  Oh, and in the busy-ness of getting ready for her party, I forgot to post about her one year, well-child check-up.  She was very healthy, and weighed 22 lb. 14 oz. and was 31" long.  She did really well for her appointment! 

Here are some pictures from her party:

During the party, Grandma Darlene (who works for a pediatric dentist) helped Avery pull his wiggly tooth.  He finally lost his very first tooth.  Here are some pictures that we took after the party, when it was just our family, and my brothers kids, and my mom and dad still here (you can see his missing tooth very well in a couple of these!):
