We love being Uncle Meme and Aunt Lara

Being an Uncle and Aunt is the BEST!!! Jim and I are an Uncle and Aunt to 4 (soon to be 5) Nephews, 2 Neices and 2 Great-Neice and we love every minute of it. One of my favorite sayings is "Aunt... like a Mom only cooler."
Well this past month we had some proud and exciting moments as Aunt and Uncle. Daniel, our oldest Nephew, graduated High School. It was so exciting to hear them call his name and watch him walk acrossed that stage. It gave me goosebumps and tears all at the same time. I didnt know I could scream that loud with tears overflowing. We couldn't be prouder.






Another exciting moment was that Chris, our second oldest Nephew, lost his first tooth. This doesnt sound that exciting but Uncle Meme and I got to be the tooth fairy for his first tooth which was also our first time as the Tooth Fairy. Chris had wanted to spend the night (before the tooth fell out) and later that day it did. It was so much fun to see him wake up to find a crisp 5.00 bills under his pillow. He even explained to us how the first tooth is alway worth the most. Wow, good thing the Tooth Fairy had a 5.00 bill and not a 1.00 bill. Then again, its a good thing the Tooth Fairy didnt have a 20.00 because that could really cause problems when the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. fall out and his parents have to explain why the tooth fairy only gave 1.00 for those and 20.00 for the first one. lol.

Next Aunt and Uncle adventures... We are taking Gwen to the Aquarium of the Pacific for her birthday and waiting for our newest Nephew to arrive. We cant wait to meet Baby "Tres" in October.
