Look who lost a tooth!!!

Well, it finally happened last night. After a couple of weeks wiggling her tooth - it was finally ready to come out. Thanks to daddy for helping her out. Carrigan was so excited after it came out. She ran to the bathroom to take a look. She had been complaining earlier in the day saying that her tooth was hurting. No wonder - she was turning it sideways in her mouth. The tooth fairy came and visited her last night with a very generous amount of money. We told her to save and so that she can get something really special with all of her money. Thank you Kristi for the Tooth Fairy Jar. It worked great!!!!!!!


Can you believe that Alan will be 2 years old next Friday? We can't!!! This growing up thing is happening way to fast. My little redhead has some temper though. I've got to stop pointing my finger at him - he has started doing it back to me. He definately does not like the word "no". The temper comes out!!! He's also having a hard time adjusting to his sisters school schedule. He misses his sister and he hates getting up early - LOL!!!

Hope everyone is doing well.

For all of you Bama football fans - don't forget to look under my sisters website www.ladyinred.net for this years schedule and everything else.

Please don't forget that I sell Mary Kay. www.marykay.com/kimfsmith If anyone needs anything please let me know. You can order on line or just send me an email. I will be sending out an email the end of this week with a couple of specials that I will be
offering!

Thanks!

Carrigan loves school

Carrigan's first two days of school have been really good ones. She loves her teacher and she said that she is having fun learning. Yesterday she even got to go to P.E. (she calls it gym class) and she thought that was the neatest thing. They played with a parachute and she said something about getting to sit under it. Of course I have to ask her everyday if there was anyone bad in class and so far she has told me yes on both days. The same person (I think she said that it was a girl) has gotten 3 warnings on each day. As long as it's not her then it is okay. The first thing that she shows me in the car when I pick her up is her stamped hand showing me that she was good that day. Let's hope that her talking too much won't get her in trouble.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

School 2006

I can't believe that Carrigan started kindergarten today. It was kind of a sad morning not because she was going to school - just that she is growing up so fast. WOW!!!! It was kinda crazy this morning with the amount of cars but it really was not that bad at all. Try driving to downtown Atlanta every morning for work - now that's crazy!!!! Carrigan was so afraid that she would be late to her first day at school but everything worked out. Rusty and I took her to school, she walked in and said hello to her teacher and just kept on going. She didn't even look back. Her teacher asked to to give mom and dad a hug and then she was off playing with the other students. I am so glad that she does not have any trouble making friends.

Poor Alan - he keeps walking around the house saying "Sissy". He is going to be so excited when we pick her up this afternoon! Who would have thought that he would realize that she is not home. I guess he remembers us taking her this morning but not understanding why she didn't come home with us!

Here is a picture of her this morning!

Check back later this evening and I'll give an update on how her day went!!!!!

A Busy July

Hi Everyone!

I can't believe that it is August and Carrigan will be staring school next Monday. I can't believe my little girl is going to "Big Girl School"! She is so excited. We got the nicest postcard from her teacher today introducing herself. Her new teacher is Mrs. Bell. Rusty and I will go and meet her on Thursday. We also have lots of shopping to do between now and Monday trying to get her all ready.

July has been a pretty busy month for us. Carrigan had her uniform fitting for cheerleading on the 15th. She can't wait to start practices. Ms. Adriean (our neighbor) is Carrigan's coach so that means Grayce will be on her squad along with Abby up the street and Riley (she went to New Hope with her). It is going to be so much fun watching them.

The next day we left for Orlando. We had the best time. On Monday we tried to go and see the Space Shuttle land but we missed it. I actually read the map wrong. It's a long story - if you want to know what happened - just ask me the next time you talk to me. I am so embarrassed but it was an honest mistake! We did get to go to through Melbourne (Kandis was born there) and I got to show Rusty where dad's old friend had a dealership. Jim Rathman Chevrolet was still there and did not look like it changed very much. We then went to Satellite Beach and I showed Rusty the old street that we use to live on but the outside of the house had changed. My favorite place to eat (Peg Legs) was gone. There was actually a bulldozer sitting on the property. We then went up the coast and stopped at Ron Jon's Surf Shop. If you ever go to Cocoa Beach - you have to stop in there. The place is huge. Of course, you can't go in there and not spend any money.

On Tuesday we spent the day at the Magic Kingdom. Carrigan had so much fun. She didn't know what to do with her self. She loved waiting in line for the characters autographs and her favorite rides were the Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre, Mad Tea Party and Tomorrowland Indy Speedway just to name a few. Carrigan told us that she did not like Stitch's Great Escape but she loved Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. Rusty and I really enjoyed Mickey's PhilharMagic and how could you not go to the Magic Kingdom and not ride the Haunted Mansion and It's a Small World. We can't wait to go back!!!!


We came home on Wednesday and then Rusty and I left on Saturday morning headed for Savannah. The trip was a quick one.

We met Kati, Kevin, Ty and Brooke up at Lake Laniers Bald Ridge Campsite this past Sunday. We had a great time and so did the kids. Rusty now has the fever to go camping again. I guess we will be getting our camper out within the next week or so to make sure everything on it is fine and ready to go whenever Rusty wants to take it out. Kati and Kevin's camper is really nice. We would love to have something like it. Maybe in the near future we can upgrade!

My friends Tori and Brian got a new RV last week. I call it the "Wonder Lodge". It is perfect for them and for their family! It is absolutely beautiful. I'm very happy for ya'll!!! Here's a picture of it!!!!

Be sure to check back next week. I'll post some pictures of Carrigan's first day of school!

Good Night!
