Joey loses a tooth

Today was a huge day in the Dorn household. Let me start from the beginning. In May Joey fell on the steps going to the basement and hit his mouth. A bottom tooth was loose. We took him to see the dentist. She said to keep watching the tooth, hoping it would re-harden and stay until his baby teeth fall out. It started hurting again yesterday. I noticed it was loose again. We went to the dentist today, she said it's time to pull it. The girls and I waited in the lobby while he was a big boy getting his tooth pulled. He never cried or screamed. The dentist said he did better than most adults. I am so proud of him. We put his tooth in his first tooth box and placed on the dresser. He's not sure about the toothfairy being at his bed while he sleeps.
Here's a funny..... the triplets learned about losing teeth from watching a video of cousin Grace losing her first. They associate a loose tooth with missing teeth. When we are out in public and they see someone with missing teeth they say, loudly, look she/he has a loose tooth. It is so embarrassing. God love the childs mind and mouth.

4th of July

Happy 4th of July!!!
The triplets had fun getting dressed for the day. We love special clothes for special days. Ivy especially. She loves to wear dresses. She's my girlie girl. We bought fireworks from one of Brians tents. If you don't know, Brian quit his job at United Rentals and started his own business. He rents tents, tables, chairs & party stuff. His busy time of year is 4th of July. We took the fireworks to my great aunt & uncle's house. We had supper there with my mom's family and shot fireworks in their culd-a-sac. We love the 4th. Brian's kid side comes out on the
4th. The night ended too quickly. Here's to next year.

Ogalala

We traveled to Ogalala with mom & dad, Shannon, Grace & Ella. There we met up with Matt, Mindy & Maddox. We had so much fun playing with all the kids. Hard to believe we are all parents now. Even harder to believe that my little bro is a dad. What a great dad he is. We attempted to swim at Lake McConaughy, but the wind and sand got the better of us. So we swam at the pool at the hotel. Brian & Matt C. got left behind to work. We also suprised Grace with a Hannah Montanna birthday party. She will be 6 on July 14th. The kids really enjoyed the pink frosting. It has been a year since we have all been together. I hope it's not another year for our next gathering. Just imagine how different the kids will be.

50 yard dash

The triplets final day at track was running the 50 yard dash. The event started with the kids doing a celebration lap. At the end of the lap they recieved medals. They then ran the 50 yard dash. I had the triplets run together. They did pretty good. Joey saw NaNa at the finish line and really ran fast. I was excited that Ali ran the whole way. She has a tendacy to walk when she feels like it. We are glad to have track done. Amazing how 1 night a week really ties up time.
