Backing up a little...

I just found some pictures from Karsen's 1st day of 1st grade and the State Fair that I thought I would post:

She was still so tan from camp. Such a pretty girl!

This was from the fair:

We took these same 2 pictures last year so we wanted to take them again this year. I think she has grown something like 4 inches since last year!!!

Karsen obviously enjoyed the rides and got to get her caricature again this year. We all had a great time... although, I am looking forward to not being pregnant at the fair next year!

"THE TOOTH" part 2

The reign of "the tooth" is over. I had enough and pulled it last night after long talks about bravery and acting like a big girl...

She is going to look extra cute as The Tooth Fairy on Halloween!!!

"THE TOOTH"

This is Karsen's loose tooth. No, it is not a crooked tooth, it is so loose that it is twisted around so you can see underneath it. It doesn't stay like this all the time. Most of the time it either is pushed back really far so she looks snaggle toothed or it just dangles there and looks really out of place. It has been this way since Sunday... today is Wednesday. She will not pull it and will not let me pull it. Needless to stay "the tooth" is pretty gross...

The good news in "the tooth" saga is that Karsen had her picture retakes yesterday (we won't talk about the 1st pictures... we'll just say they were allowed to play outside right before they took them) which means the there will forever be record of "the tooth".

It's all pretty funny, really. I am just really worried that it will either fall out while she is eating her lunch at school and she will swallow it or it will fall out in her sleep and she will choke on it. Is that a serious danger? Can a child choke on a tooth in their sleep?

Pink Lightning Victory!!!

Karsen had her big soccer game of the season this weekend. She played her former team, The Lakewood Stallions. It wasn't so much a big game for her as it was for me (I REALLY wanted them win). The girls palyed a great game and won 2-0. I hate that I have not taken pictures of her games at all this season...

After that, Karsen got to go to her school carnival... still in her soccer uniform...

She had a great time. The red hair spray has still not washed out completly. She won a weird little rubber seahorse thing and a 2 liter bottle of Welch's fruit punch in the ring toss. I think both of those prizes are pretty amazing to a 6 year old, especially the punch.

Karsen got her picture taken while getting her face painted and is supposed to be in the Lakewood Heights little newspaper. I'll be sure to post it if it shows up!

Welcome to all things Karsen

Since the baby got his own page, I figured Karsen needed her own page too! Keep checking in, because I hope to add to it as much as possible.
