All I Want For Christmas....

All I Want For Christmas... is my two front teeth!! That's what K.J. has been singing for the last week and a half!! He lost his second tooth and was very excited about it. I think he'll get his wish -since both permanent teeth are already well on their way to feeling that gap!! :)

 

 

...Of School

K.J. also started school today - he is in first grade. He is very excited because he has the same teacher J.D. had when he was in first grade. But he wasn't so thrilled about having to sit and listen for hours on end. :( (mom is surving :))!

 

 

 

First Day..

Today is the first day of school. (AAAHHHH!!!!, Peace and Quiet!!! :) ). J.D. started fifth grade today - so of he went to middle school. Watching him get on the bus was sad/happy - I can't believe he is old enough to be in middle school.

 

 

Eleven!!

On Saturday J.D. celebrated his eleventh birthday!! He had a great day!! It is hard to believe he is eleven. He is growing so fast.

 

 

 

 

Change

On Aug. 8, 2010 J.D. graduated from cub scouts to boy scouts. We are so proud of all he has accomplished.

 

 

 

 

Congratulations J.D. on a job well done!

COLOR!!!

You've heard of the Blue Men?? Now meet the Green Man!!!!

 

 

K.J. thought it was great fun to paint himself with green tempra paint (high jacked from the top of the fridge, without mom's knowledge) - Until dad made him wash it off!!! Not so fun!!!:(

Weather!!

I took these pictures last night, outside on our driveway! They don't do justice to the gathering storm - the clouds were in full motion - one big swirling mass of angry gray.

 

 

 

 

We have had 20.5 inches of rain since june (almost two feet) and that doesn't count the 2 to3 inches that these little beauties gave us last night. That is a little bit much - even for us here in the midwest!! And we are suppose to get more rain in the next couple of days. Just because we don't have enough water yet!!!!! :)

Lost!!!!

It's the first for K.J.

 

 

Friday K.J. lost his first tooth!!! He was so excited! He has been waiting forever for this big event - since a number of his friends lost their first tooth during the school year last year. The Toothfairy found him and he was a happy boy.
