The tooth fairy visits the anthony's...twice in 1 week!

Gage has been dying for his teeth to start falling out! His bottom two have been loose for about a month or so and after a lot of twisting an pulling, and even plyers(This I was told after the fact by Justin)his front, bottom left fell out last monday on the way to school....
And then a week later at school his bottom right one fell out...
His left adult tooth was already showing when the tooth fell out so he wont have a hole in his mouth for too long which is probably a good thing....he speaks with a bit of a lisp at times=)

Baby Cake

I am going to a babyshower this weekend and decided to make a babycake. I have done a few of these in the past but this one was a little different and more tedious but way better in the end. Voila!


I was a little bummed out about the bag though. Michaels was sold out of the large clear bags so this was my only choice. It makes its harder to see the cake. oh well, It still came outpretty well. There is a big bottle of Johnsons Baby wash and 4 oz bottle in the middle of about 50 diapers.

Had to share

I just love this picture and had to share...

Snow Day!

Its been in the forecast all week and I kept my fingers crossed for snow. Gage got really bummed on Christmas because it didnt snow. He thinks that its snows everywhere Christmas Day=( Sunday we woke up and by 11am it had started snowing! Gage and Ethan were so excited! We didnt think it would stick but after 4 hours of constant snowfall we got this...
We really need a box with snow clothes put aside for each kid for days like this. Sadie doesnt have any boots or waterproof pants so she had to double up with Ethans pants...

Ethan needed a better pair of gloves. His hands got cold really fast,
Gage just had to double up pants, shirts, socks and he was good to go. I had to do a lot of laundry come monday=) The kids tried playing on there jeep and truck but it just wouldnt go in the snow!


I had to put Justin to work....

Fondue Time

I recently saw the idea to do fondue fridays and I really wanted to do it but didnt actually do it until saturday...oh well=) We used semi-sweet chocolate chips so it wasnt that great...I'll have to find a better recipe and use milk chocolate next time. I made brownies with chocolate chip cookies baked on top, rice crispies made with caramel instead of marshmallows, & caramel apples. We also had bananas, pretzels, and marshmallows. Gage loved everything but the bananas, Ethan loved the marshmallows...
and sadie, well, lets just say she really only liked the chocolate fondue..
Justin was eating a grapefruit while Ethan was still eating his treats so Ethan really wanted to try one (interesting mixture??) Notice the face... Turns out he loves grapefruit...

Needless to say Sadie was quite a mess when she was done!

Papa's Visit

On Wednesday my dad flew down from Kentucky to visit us for the day (Yeah!!) and we went to the park just down the street from my house.

Ethan loves to play on the train! Even more than the actual playground!



The boys played on the swing(sorry for the blurred pictures, since ethan got ahold of my camera sometimes the focus isnt that great)


Sadie loved the slide...

The county just built a veterans memorial behind the park. Its lite up at night so you can see it from the road but I havent been by to check it out yet so I went with dad and wow! They did such a great job! These pictures dont do it justice..They really did a fantabulous job!
