Mom...you're the tooth fairy aren't you?!

Pay-Mom, you're the tooth fairy aren't you?

Me-Heavens no I am not the tooth fairy. Do I look like a fairy?

Pay- (laughing) No!

Tooth fairies are magical and sparkly. They are tiny and light and fly in unexpectedly. They sneak your tooth out from under you so gracefully, you can never feel it. They magically place money beneath your dreaming head. Am I the tooth fairy?......Absolutely not!

Payton was so excited to lose her front tooth. Robert tied string around it and pulled it right out. He had never pulled a tooth before. I think he was more nervous than she was. Pay was sure to keep her hand under her pillow as long as she could in attempts to "catch the tooth fairy!" She woke me up three times that night.

1. "The tooth fairy came!"

2. "I think I heard her open the door, mom!"

3. "I couldn't catch her because I ended up on the other side of my bed!"

All very exciting things, Payton!

Love,

Mom (a.k.a...just your mom...not the tooth fairy!)

Ogden's Half Marathon.........

Last year...we were innocent bystanders giving high fives and cheering on the runners!
I had to come to root for my soul sister, Mal!
Here's Mal, Curt, Wendy and Drew......our inspirations!
Payton did catch the running bug and ran her fastest in the Kid's k!
This year.......we did it!

We had such a fun weekend in Ogden. Molly flew in from Portland to come with us. Brent and Kim road with us too. The five hour drive went quickly! We met Angie B. and Mal and her family in Ogden. We all caught the bus together at 4:50 a.m. on Saturday! We were dropped off in the canyon. We were all nerves and excitment until the gun went off! The run was amazing. The weather was perfect and the scenery was picturesque. The downhill course made us fast and the race go by quickly. Everyone ran well, and I think we all agreed to make running Ogden's half marathon a tradition every year!
