Rock loses his first tooth!

After weeks of wiggling his tooth, the permanent one started growing in and this baby had to go!


Here is the wiggly tooth barely holding on. We run out to the car as Myles is getting ready to leave in the morning. Rock begs him to pull it out. (He wants the cash)
Myles can't get a good enough grip on it so he says, "hold on" and comes back with pliers in his hand. Rock gets stressed. Look at his face in this picture.
Then out it comes!

And no memory of the plier stress!



A visit from the tooth fairy who reponds back to Rock's note asking if he can keep the tooth. She left her "dust" on his bed and he finds the loot!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...

So we found our Christmas Tree! It's always a fun time of year, when your house smells like pine and the lights are twinkling on it, as you curl up on the couch...

Rock was a great helper with carrying the tree and Piper heard us say we needed to "trim" the tree after we got it home. She took us literally and cut each branch.

Steimle Family

My talented Sis-in-law Ruth took photos of our family for Christmas. It was at total impromptu shoot. We literally jumped in the car and didn't look in a mirror.
Let me tell you, it was kind of fun that way. Pretty stress free-
These were the "extras" that I really liked. Watch for our Christmas card photo to come.





Thank you Ruthy!


Baby Boy #3

Here is me at 18 weeks pregnant. I really like this photo Ruth took. And, I have realized that I kind of have the same profile as the Statue of Liberty. (more photos from this shoot to come)

Flying


So, I have some oldies but goodies I will be posting.
In October, Rock took a trip with Myles, Uncle Jared and a friend from our ward on a private plane. It was his first small plane flight (and Jared's). They were nervous at first, but had a great time.





Myles brushing up on his flight skills with K.B. Bergeson.

Our house!

Tying Shoes


Rock learned to tie his shoes. These pictures were taken on Oct. 22nd- the glorious day. We got new "tie" shoes for his tennis class and with some coaching from Myles and practice, he did it!
This is his exciting smile the first time he showed us...It takes a lllooooonnnnngggg time but he's getting faster..

Rock's part time job


So, Rock has a new business. He is a recycler. He puts his gloves and boots on about once a month and sorts and smashes to his heart's content.
His favorite part is when the guy counts all his dollars one-by-one into his hand.
He pays his overhead ($3 to our friend that gives him cans), his 10% tithing, $1 to his hired help (Piper), puts $2 in his Wells savings account then SPENDS the rest.
His Special "helper". He usually gives her a dollar for her smashing services.
