Kids are getting big

Well this week, Ari lost one but two top teeth! She lost one at home and one at school. She really was excited to lose one ay school cuz they give the kids a little treasure box to take it home in. Now today, Aiden wakes me up (the one morning I can sleep in) to tell me his top tooth is about to fall out. Well, it hasn't dallen out yet, but probably will today. He has been wiggling it like crazy. He can't let Ari beat him by two teeth for long. He has only lost three on bottom and one on top so far. And Ari has lost two on top and four on bottom. So, even when he loses his other top tooth, he is still behind Ari by one bottom tooth. And Noah, well Noah will be lucky to lose a tooth in the next few years. When we went to the dentist he said he had a lose tooth. The dentist told us he didn't have the heart to tell him that his roots are still pretty set and that it will most likely be a few years. Like his older brother, Noah probably won't lose a tooth until at least third grade! Once Aiden loses his tooth, I will post pics of both kids. But on to other things.....
Ari is gone today too. She went to Disneyland with her other family. Her 2nd mom and dad asked for their visitation rights to take her. (It's a big joke for those who don't know. Ari lives at Jessalyn's house any chance she can, so Derek and Heather are now her second mom and dad. At school this year, they told people that they were sisters and I'm supposed to be Jessa's second mom or something silly. So now Heather and Derek ask for visitations when jessa wants Ari over). Last night the two girls sang in the Ward Talent Show. They were really good. Ari loves to sing and thinks she will go on American Idol when she turns sixteen. She's almost half way there! On Mother's Day, Ari will turn eight! She is totally excited. She is going to be baptized that night at 5 pm. She just picked out her program stuff and we have her dress. All I need to get is some little things, and we'll be ready. She is having a party right after at our house for everyone who comes. We will have dinner and birthday cake. She also is having a party on this Friday for her friends. Pizza and a movie. Pretty simple I hope.
Aiden also performed in the Talent Show. He played his clarinet with a friend, Mikayla Tully. They were really good. They are in All-Star Band together at school. This is quite an accomplishment for Aiden. Usually, you hav eto play for a year or two before joining All-Star band, but after only 3 months, his teacher asked for him to try out and he made it. he is truly musically talented. he can play almost anything and can learn songs by reading music, so simply listneing to the song and then repeating it. He is excited because on May 8th, he gets to perform at Knott's Berry Farm. We are all going down there! We will take pics nad maybe a video to post if I can!
Noah is also doing well. He is the smartest little booger ever. That little boy is too smart for his own good. He has been telling his first grade class how to solve their math with Multiplication! It's easy, he says. (Multiplication is a third grade standard, but AIden showed him it once, and now he can do any problem in his little head). He is the same with reading. Put a book in front of him, and he will read it and tell you what he read. He comprehends easily and he reads extremely high levels. He also is super sporty. He just started soccer again. We put him in Spring socccer for something else to do Last week, he scored five goals. We;ll see if he tops it today. He loves to play sports and he's good at everything he tries.
Jinelle is excited that I signed her up for kindergarten next year. Every time we pass the school, se announces that that's her school. She is going to go back to the kids old school for a year, so she can have the same teacher the otehr three had for kindergarten. I figure, three kids left way above kinder level, with just one left, might as well not screw her up by having a different teacher! It's not like I have a life anyways. I can handle kids at two schools for a year. THen the following year, she'll transfer to Cypress. She is almost done with her letter recognition. She gets a little mixed up sometimes, but other times, she does it just fine. I think she is testing my patience more than I'm testing her knowledge!
