The Toothfairy Came!!!

Well, the Toothfairy came to see Miranda on Tuesday night(20th)! Yes, Miranda lost her first tooth at the age of 4 years old....way to early if you ask me! She is growing up too fast! It was so loose last night, that it was just hanging there and I was scared that she might lose it in the night while sleeping and swallow it or lose it at school and not be able to find it! So I went ahead and pulled it. She had changed her mind at the last minute about the color of the whistle she wanted. She said that she wants a blue whistle about 2 nights ago. I told her she needs to stick with one color or you are going to confuse the Toothfairy. It didn't do any good, because the Toothfairy was fresh out of blue whistles. She only had black ones, but had a blue strap to hang the whistle around her neck with. We wrote a letter to the Toothfairy and she wrote one right back to her along with the whistle. She was so excited about the whole thing....the tooth coming out, getting the whistle, getting to tell her friends and family! It was a big event last night! Alicia at daycare said that Miranda is the first one to lose a tooth in Mrs. Brittany's class ever!!! That was also exciting to her. She made history at Bright Beginnings!LOL Anyway, here are a few pics to see how cute she looks without a tooth!

It's too early!!!

Miranda has her 1st loose tooth. I called the dentist to make sure this was okay since she is barely 4 years old. They said that if it isn't discolored or she didn't hit her mouth to make it loose, then it's probably okay. She did start getting them very early(at 3 1/2 months old). The one that is loose is one of the 2 teeth that she got in first. So, I guess my baby is growing too fast! Anyway, I thought since this blog is all about Miranda, I couldn't leave this bit of info out! Oh, and by the way....she doesn't want money. She wants a green whistle from the tooth fairy. Do you know how hard it is to find a green whistle?!!! I had no idea!!! I looked at Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and Walmart! Any suggestions?!!! Help!!!

Welcome to the Circus!

Miranda went to the circus for the first time a couple of weeks ago. She loved it!!! I have some pictures, but they are really blurry since it was dark and they moved around a lot. I will show you some of the better ones that I took. Me, Scottie, and Barbara went and had a ball! Unfortunately, Miranda had fever during this time and could not figure out what was wrong with her. She was acting fine and her appetite was fine too.....just a fever. I took her to the doctor that following Monday and it turned out to be just a viral infection with only fever. She was better within a couple of days. Anyway, she didn't let the fever let her time at the circus get ruined. She wants to go again already!

Under The Sea!!!

We had a good Halloween this year. Miranda dressed as Ariel and good ole Mom was a fall tree with a few critters on it.LOL Miranda got a lot of candy and we had a few bags left over from trick-or-treaters. Here are a few pics of Miranda dressed so cute! I hope everyone had a good Halloween as well!

This One's For The Girls!!!

Well, I know this is usually a blog about my Miranda, but today was a special day for me. I got to walk in the Susan G. Komen Race for the very first time! The theme this year was "This One's For The Girls"! It was exhilarating!!! I was so pumped the entire time I was there! It is an awesome thing to do if you haven't already done it! I plan to do this again next year! I can't tell you in words how good it felt to be a part of such a good cause! I even got to do a video for the Channel 4 news. They call it "Why You Race" and they ask us to tell them in a video why we raced for the cure! I was so nervous when we did it(a co-worker of mine was in it with me). She made me do all the talking though.LOL It felt good after I did it and am anxious to see it on their website. I hope I didn't sound stupid. That is the most spontaneous thing I have done in YEARS!!! It is so not like me to grab a microphone and talk on camera.LOL Anyway, I have attached some pics of this great event, but let me tell you that these pictures of the crowd doesn't do it justice. You have to just see it yourself in real life. It was an awesome experience that I will remember for a very long time! Well, I have been up since 4:00 this morning, which would make this about 18 hours ago, so I guess I need to go to bed. I have church in the morning!LOL

Happy 4th Birthday Miranda!!!

We had Miranda's birthday party this past Saturday at the Gurdon Park. I can't believe that it rained pretty much all morning off and on. It has been beautiful weather until that day. Today(Sunday) is beautiful too....it just had to be the day of her party. Just my luck! The kids still had a good time at the park and played as if it weren't cold and wet. I am just glad that it didn't rain on them while they were playing. Miranda got a lot of presents and had fun with her friends and relatives. I can't believe how big she is getting! My baby is a little girl now! She will still be my baby though.....always and forever!!! Oh, and her big present that we got her was a trampoline. The grandparents chipped in with Me and Scottie and got it for her! She loved it!

I'm leavin' on a jet plane!!!

Hey everyone! I am sorry that I haven't added to the blog in a few weeks. It has been a crazy couple of months. Miranda and I went to California and had a good time until Miranda got sick. We got to go to the ocean and she loved it!!! We saw so many things there. Miranda loved the water too, even though it was freezing cold! The weather was pretty chilly too, for what we are use to. My Aunt doesn't even have an air conditioner in her house. They don't really need it!LOL Crazy, huh?! We also got to go to the Oakland Zoo and Miranda had a great time there. They also surprised Miranda with a little birthday party since it was going to be in a couple of weeks from then. It was very nice of them! We had cupcakes and she got to open presents. We are glad to be back home, but it was a nice visit too. Oh, and I almost forgot......Miranda LOVED the plane ride! I was so proud of her!!! I can only fit 5 pics at a time on this blog thing, so I had to pick one for every little event we did. The first one is her on the plane if you couldn't tell! Hope you enjoy!
