Jade finally lost her top tooth last month (about one week before school pictures).
She was so excited to find that the tooth fairy brought her two dollars. It was only a week later when her other top tooth was pulled out by her Dad. Jade thought it was a little weird when the tooth fairy only brought one dollar for that tooth. We told her that the tooth fairy must of been on a tighter budget that week. This reminds me of a story I would like to share about my sweet Jade. Matt, McKinley and Gavin sell peaches at the Murry Farmers Markets each fall, every Saturday. I noticed that Lehi was starting a Farmers Market so I decided that instead of the girls and I staying home we would go try our luck at this new market. It was a slow start but that was good for us as we were just learning. After our day of selling is over we head back to the farm to count our money and get paid. Robert asked the girls if they worked hard, and Jade said yes and they only fought a few times. So Robert gave them each two dollars. Well the next week when Robert asked if they worked hard, of course the answer was yes and this time he gave them each one dollar. Jade thought about it for about 1 minute and then decided that she would remind Grandpa that he gave them two dollars last time. It made me laugh just a little, and yes Grandpa pulled out his wallet and gave them each another dollar.
I am always telling McKinley that she is so lucky to have Gavin for a brother. She is always getting him into one thing or another. In these photos she has him helping her put curlers in her hair. I also think that he is pretty lucky to have her as a big sister.
So this summer I had a mental lapse and decided to let McKinley drive the van to get some cucumbers from the farm. It was a little scary but more trying on my patience. I used to think potty training and learning to read were the hardest things to teach your kids, but driving has to be added to that list.
