lost a tooth!

Sawyer's tooth had been wiggly for over a month when Harrison decided to show him some techniques that might help speed things up and get the tooth to fall out. Sawyer would use a tissue and move the loose tooth back and forth multiple times a day, he'd constantly poke at it from behind with his tongue and he'd request apples to snack on. Ordinarily, my boys have a hard tme working together...but in this case, Harrison was all too eager to be of further assistance. I had no sooner told Sawyer that no I would not yank it out and it might be another week until he lost the tooth when Harrison came running upstairs to tell me that he had gone ahead and pulled it himself! How's that for teamwork!

Sawyer is super proud of his new smile, and he's still showing off the gap to everyone we know.

writer's celebration

Harrison took this years Writer's Celebration very seriously....if only he felt the same way about his spelling!

I'm stealing this great idea from Andrea and sharing some exceprts from Harrison's school journals this year.

Easter!
Easter is onle 5 days away. We have bin filling eggs up for the easter egg hunt. The big pris is ten dolers. I have one 2 times in a row. My nana hides the eggs in her backyard but thar esey to find. I wish she would hide them more hard. For lunch we are having spagety. I forgot to teal you that my nana is atalein.

The New Baby Sister
My mom is having a baby sister. She is stil in my mom's stumick. She is aposto come out in October. I askt if the baby floddered yet?

The Basement
After a few weeks of beging my mom and dad we finale got them to buy the basemint. It takes a vary, vary, vary long time to finish the basemint. A few weeks later a guy came with this very smelly paste to cover the wall and sell the leaks.

Longwood Gardens
A few days ago my famile went to long wode gardin. It was awsom. My mom took tawns of pikshers. After my brother finale cowoperided we got a chrismis picsher.

The atake of Sawyer
One day me and Jake K. went to my house. We had an epic batle. My bruther was chucing stuff at our faces. We had to run. He was going to kill us. We tried hiding. We tried saprising him. Finaly we just let him win but it was fun.

...I am siting at my desk. I can not think about anything to write about. I still can't think of anything. Ok I can still not think of anything....

brothers & baseball

Harrison & Sawyer played for different divisions this year, but both were on the Orem Owlz team for their age set. Sawyer thought this was awesome! Harrison thought it was completely unfair. I just thought "I hope I don't mix their shirts up like I did for soccer"

Sawyer abandoned the tee early in the season and had some great hits this year. He loved sliding to every base...including first...you might be impressed that even I know you are supposed to "run through" first base! I also had to teach him that just because a little boy tags you on base, you aren't actually out unless he has the ball - it's such a technical sport ;)

Harrison did great with the pitching machine this year and really stepped it up in his fielding! We've heard a lot of comments about his strong throwing arm, so maybe we have a pitcher in our future? His favorite position of the season was first base. He played on a team with lots of friends this year and the boys were undefeated - whoohoo!!! Or as us Owlz mom's liked to cheer "HOOT! HOOT!"
