Bye Bye Baby Tooth

Another 1st has taken place in our household. Connor lost his first tooth last Thursday. Let me just remind you this is the child that despises going to the dentist - it takes me, a dental assistant, and the dentist to get Connor's check-up and he screams the whole time. So, imagine the fun Andy and I had just getting Connor to open his mouth where we could even touch that tiny tooth. Connor was so excited when the tooth came out that he said he was ready to go to bed so the tooth fairy would come! If only bedtime were that easy every night!

A few pics from the week

This week has been busy with school, baseball practice, leadership training, and more. I thought I would share a few cute pictures from the week. Connor decided to use our plastic cups to practice his stacking and arithmetic - sometimes he amazes me at the things he thinks of to do. Sometimes I'm not sure why we ever buy him toys - just give him cups, a wig, and something to jump or leap on and he's good!! These two keep us busy but oh how so often I am reminded of how blessed we are to have 2 healthy, beautiful children!

Kaylee's 2nd Birthday Party

Kaylee had her 2nd birthday party at the park on Saturday. She had a great time with family and friends. She really loved her party hat cake her Aunt Lucy made. She later said, "Cake, yummy!!" Thank you to all who came and for celebrating with us on Kaylee's special day. The pictures are from the party and also of Kaylee with her new tickle me Elmo and of course, her backpack that she is attached to. She apparently thought she was going to school like Connor.

1st Day of Kindergarten

Today was the big day - the 1st day of Kindergarten for Connor. He ate his special muffins that our friend, Mrs. Danielle gave us for his 1st day. He packed his backpack with a special stuffed animal and headed off to school. Andy, Kaylee, and I walked him in and as usual he was not too keen on having his picture taken. He went in with no problem and mom only teared up a little!!! When I went to pick him up he said, "Mom, where have you been? That was a loooooong day!" Well, here's to the beginning of many more long days! Congratulations to Connor on surviving his 1st big day of school!!!

Kindergarten- Here Connor comes!!

Well, the time has arrived for our little boy to go to Kindergarten. Connor had his open house last night and met his teacher, Mrs. Fitch. He checked everything out and even signed his first official school paper. He of course was most concerned in finding the gym (his Uncle Pat and Uncle Bo would be proud). When we did get into the gym he asked one of the teachers if he could play basketball (Could he be any more like his Uncle Bo???).

This is a busy milestone week at the Johnson house. Kaylee had her 2nd birthday on Monday.

Her party is not until Saturday, but we had a mini celebration for her on the 4th. She knows she is 2 and has the attitude to go with it!!

We are looking forward to many more exciting times with these two. And speaking of excitement, Connor provided quite a bit to Kaylee with his acrobatic moves over the couch cushions!!
