She's Finally Lost it!

It's time for celebration! Cassidy has finally lost
her snaggletooth. It's been nearly 5 months
since Cassidy's had this loose tooth that won't let
go. It decided to come out after being
knocked out by her sister while "playing". Now
it wasn't knocked out completely. Instead it
was dangling by a strange tissue that had
formed which was causing the tooth to remain
in her mouth for so long. It was really strange.
Anybody heard anything like this before?

Wheelmobile in Sequim

One of our family traditions is to watch Wheel of Fortune together every night (well maybe not EVERY night). So when we heard the Wheelmobile was coming to town we thought it would be fun to go try out for the show. We drove over to Sequim which is about a 2 and a half hour trip. When we got there we wondered why we came. The chances of us getting on stage to try out were very slim, so when they pulled Matt's name out we were shocked. He got up there and did his thing but he didn't slove the puzzle. Thankfully that doesn't matter at this stage. The Wheelmobile is just a preliminary screening process before the final Wheel of Fortune contestant audition. As long as you fit their requirements for personality and demographic and you don't make silly mistakes like calling a letter that has already been called you can still be called back for the final auditions. So we are keeping our fingers crossed and should know within the next couple of months if he made it. There is still a very slim chance he would make it on the show but hey - it's worth trying.

Fourth of July Fun

On the 4th, we went to the Issaquah Down Home
4th of July Celebration. It was great because everything
was free! (I love that word) The kids enjoyed the
bouncy houses, the pony rides, the face painting, and of
course the Reptile Man. That evening we went to the
Fourth on the Plateau and had a picnic while listening
to 70's dance music, played catch and card games, and
downed almost an entire big bag of Skittles. Once it got
dark, we enjoyed the fireworks with two little girls on
our laps - ears covered. We are already looking forward
to next years Independence Day.
