Randi lost her second tooth last Friday. This time it literally fell out while she was eating lunch at Chick-fil-A. Thank goodness she didn't swallow it with a bite of chicken!

Bryce's Birthday Party
Randi & Ryan helped their friend Bryce celebrate his 5th birthday at the Jumping Jym.
Bryce is in the red shirt, sitting next to Ryan on the chair.
They had so much fun that they've both told me they want to have
their birthday parties there this year too!

Ringling Bros. Circus
The circus is in town, so of course the kids wanted to go! This year they got to experience a neat pre-show where they were able to go down on the floor and see and interact with the circus performers up close and personal before the actual show started. They were facsinated and really, really liked it....though neither was real keen on getting their picture taken with the clowns!
Randi really liked the clown act and would even laughing out loud at times when the clowns were performing. And, of course, she really liked the horse and elephant performances as well. Ryan's favorite parts were the motorcycles in the cage and the trapeze artist. At one point in time he even said, "I wanna do that!" You may want to little buddy, but not if I can help it!!!

Ryan gets a new "Big Boy" bed!!!
"News Flash"
Ryan Rush moves out of his crib into his very own big boy bed!!!
For the last few weeks, Ryan has been asking when he gets to have a big boy bed? I told him that in order to sleep in a big boy bed, he needs to be able to put himself to sleep without someone staying in his room with him while he falls asleep, so he's bravely been working on the process. And I'm proud to say that for the last week, every nap and each night, he's gotten in his crib, layed himself down, and fallen asleep all on his own. So today was the big day! We set the big boy bed up in his room, and after rolling around in it for a while because he was so excited about what was happening, this is how I finally found him....asleep at last.

And he was so excited about his new bed that
he actually wanted to go to sleep tonight!

Beating the heat at the Children's Museum
I used to say it wasn't as hot here in Texas as it is in Arizona, but the last few weeks have made me change my mind. If you hadn't noticed, it's REALLY, REALLY hot in Texas right now, and I've even noticed that some days it's hotter here than it is in Phoenix....something I never thought possible! One good (but bad) thing is Texas is experiencing a severe drought, so at least it's not too humid....and the mornings and evenings are at least tolerable. So, to burn off a little energy and try to stay cool at the same time, we've been going to the McKenna Children's Museum quite a bit. The kids love it, and I love that they love it!
