Sophie's New Earrings and Lillie Cheers for Gull Lake High School

Yesterday, was an exciting day for us. Sophie got her ears pierced. She picked out purple earrings.

She let out a quick cry after they did them, but I picked her up and she stopped. She didn't cry any tears. The pinch just scared her.

Later that night, we watch Lillie cheer at the Gull Lake High School football game. 

She is the one, on the right side of the picture below. She cheered for 15 minutes of the game.

The night before she had a practice to learn some of the cheers, jumps and stunts. Including this stunt below. It was a great experience for Lillie and we got to see Gull Lake play for the first time. Gull Lake unfortunately lost the game, but Lillie had a great time.

Lillie lost her first tooth

Since May, Lillie has had 2 permanent coming in behind her bottom baby teeth. The Dentist said that she would have the 2 baby teeth out between the 4th of July and Labor Day. He was wrong.
She finally lost her first one tonight. She was scared that it was going to hurt. I told her to go wiggle it in the mirror and watch her tooth go sideways. She wiggled it sideways and then practically fell out. I hope that the gift from the Tooth Fairy will motivate her to keep wiggling the other 4 teeth that are loose.

She is holding her baby tooth in the picture above. School picture day is tomorrow and it is going to be a cute picture.

Sophie's 1st day of Preschool

Sophie had a great first day of preschool. We took lots of great pictures.

Today was meet the teacher day, so the parents stayed close by while the students sang some songs, read a book, and played with some of the toys in the school. Since, it was a hot day, the kids got to go outside and play before we went home. Last week, Sophie met Lauren (blonde girl in pink) and they were excited to see each other and play together again. We are also friends with Wendell's family (boy next to Sophie). His dad is from Nebraska and we hatch chicks from the eggs from their farm.

Of course, Sophie would not let me forget that she got a cookie and balloon on her first day of school (like Lillie did last week). She picked out this balloon at Dollar Tree and she helped me decorate the cookie with sprinkles. She even spelled out her name for me to write it on the cookie.

1st day of 1st Grade

Lillie had a great 1st day of 1st grade.

Sophie had her picture taken with Lillie and she said that she was going to miss her.

We had our picture also taken at the bus stop as we waited for the bus.

This year, Lillie looked confident and excited as she got on the bus. Since, she is in 1st grade, she got to sit anywhere that she wanted. She sat next to two of her 3 best friends on the way to and from school. Her other best friend is on another bus.

 Sophie and I met Lillie at school and took her picture with her teacher, Mrs. Renne.

Sophie and I made Lillie a "1st day of 1st grade" cookie. I told Sophie that she could have some after we got Lillie from the bus stop. When we got home Sophie picked up the plate on the left. She thought that she could eat the whole thing.

Yesterday, Lillie and Brian had fun afternoon in Battle Creek. They ran an errand to Menard's and then stopped for ice cream and a visit to see his office. She was quite happy in this picture.
