Loose Tooth

Maddie has her first loose tooth.  She has wiggled and wiggled it and Thursday it fell out while she was eating her lunch in the car.  We were delighted.  We put the tooth in a baggie and saved it for the tooth fairy.



Thursday evenings Samantha has play practice so my wonderful Elizabeth puts the kids to bed.  Friday morning Maddie came in for scripture study and then realized that she had forgotten to look under her pillow.  Mom had forgotten too.  She was so disappointed when she lifted her pillow and there was nothing there.  Come to find out she had forgotten to put her tooth under her pillow.  The tooth fairy had another chance. 

John Derek then told her that it is a good idea to say a prayer that the tooth fairy will come because sometimes the tooth fairy forgets.  That brought each of my children telling their tails of forgetful tooth fairies.  Our tooth fairy really needs to get on the ball.  Maddie immediately went and put her tooth under her pillow.

Saturday morning Maddie came in very disappointed.  The tooth fairy had forgotten again.  (How could the tooth fairy be so careless?)  But an amazing thing happened.  Her tooth had fallen behind her bed in her sleep so while she was distracted I went and found the tooth under her bed and magically the coins appeared!!!  What a surprise when she checked under her pillow again, (knowing mom had retrieved the baggie for her) and there was her coins. 

Maybe by Michael the tooth fairy assigned to our family will have this exchange figured out.

Appoligize

Today I would like to appoligize for a recent post.  A few days ago I posted "Is it worth it?"  I know that this post caused some of my loved ones to worry.  I am sorry, that was not my intent.  I use my blog as a journal many times and there is a fine line I have to walk occasionally.  I do have battles with depression.  I have been diagnosed with PMDD which is a depression that is linked to my monthly cycle.  I do treat it but as with most of our trials some moments are harder than others. I do have complete faith and trust in my Heavenly Father and know that He is guiding me in the way I should go.  Thank you to my family for loving and caring for me.

WE ARE EXPECTING BABY #5

Yes, you read it correctly. The Thornton Family is expecting a new baby in Dec. 2012. We are very excited. Today we made the announcement to our 4 children and I am sure that each of you heard their screams of excitement. Maddison immediately told us that it was going to be a boy but then after a few minutes decided that we need one boy and one girl. John Derek would like the baby to be a boy so that he can have a brother. Samantha would like the baby to sleep in her room. Elizabeth would like the baby to have brown hair so that more kids in the family would look like her. Then the conversation turned to names. Here are some of their favorites: Elizabeth wants: Sarah, Eva, Evelyn, or Eve, and if it is a boy Phineas or Ferb Samantha wants: Sam or Ammon John Derek wants: Johnny Maddison wants: Cinderella and Johnny So here we go. Taking on a new adventure of 5 children with faith that we are following our Father in Heaven's desires for our family. In this last conference Pres. P...

Lessons from Friends/Faith

I had a fun visit with some of our friends yesterday.  We talked a lot and I learned a lot.  At one point she said that she has to rely on the Savior and the Atonement to make up for the love that she cannot give her children.  She loves them but her weaknesses do not always show that and she prays that they will feel loved through the Atonement.  I loved that idea.  In my life right now I am functioning good but not perfect.  I need the Atonement to make up for what I cannot give my children right now.  She also talked about how important siblings are.  That in China one of the problems with only having one child is that there are no aunts, uncles, or cousins.  The family network is gone.  How as parents we may not be able to give our children all the love that we would like but they are still getting loved from their siblings.  That as children we fought with our siblings but now as adults we are closest to our siblings. ...

Anniversary Day 3/Weaknesses can Become Strengths

We slept in again, oh so nice.  We didn't leave the hotel until 11:00.  We went to a local pancake place and had a scruptious breakfast.  We then went in search of apple orchards as this area is known as Apple Country.  We ended up at a place called Grandad's Apples. I was in 7th heaven.  We bought a full bushel of apples and then more for making apple sauce.  I loved it. We then went to down town Ashville and bought chocolates at the Chocolate Feddish.  Mmmmm . . . Then we headed home.  It was a wonderful time to be together with my best friend.  I am so grateful to my loving Heavenly Father for helping us have such an enjoyable anniversary.  We felt truly loved and blessed by Him. We enjoyed our 15th Anniversary and are looking forward to an eternity more. . . Book of Mormon, Ether 12:27 "27  And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weak...
