The UPDATE of the CENTURY Begins with Rockets and Loose Teeth:

ROCKETS:

Lo's friend Kerry builds rockets every year and invited Lo and Drew to come and check them out. Drew LOVED it and was able to launch 4 of them, which was very cool.Pushing the "blast off" button:Drew gathered the rockets after they parachuted to the ground so they can be used again next year. Maybe Drew will invent cool rocket parts for a science fair and have a movie made about him called October Sky 2.

FAREWELL FIRST TOOTH:

Drew breifly panicked when he noticed blood coming from the toothless hole left in his mouth , but the excitement of losing our first tooth soon outweighed the gory moment. Overall, losing our first tooth was pretty cool.

Update of the Century to be continued soon..........................................

Aubrey's Blessing Day

Aubrey was blessed Sunday, October 11, 2009. She looked so pretty in her frilly white dress. These are her darling, handmade booties made for her blessing by her Grandma Janyce(Mimi). Somehow, we didn 't manage to ever look at the same camera. I chose this picture because 3 out of the 5 were looking at the same camera.We took some very fuzzy post blessing pictures of the family that came to celebrate the blessing day with us.....and we never did get one of everyone together.
It was a nice and sunny fall day to celebrate the blessing of a very cute little lady.

MY FALL PHOTO FEST...

I LOVE FALL: The colors, fashion and crisp smell in the air make my heart happy. Here are a few of the pics of the Fall colors that I took while we were up in Sundance last Sunday.


Dear Fall,
Please stay as long as you can.

FROM ZERO to 90

September 19, 2009 we celebrated Grandma J's 90th Birthday. My mom and her two brothers planned quite the party to honor and celebrate Grandma Johnson's big day. They invited the entire community to come wish her well and I really think they all showed up. It was a fun night and a party befitting such a cool lady!

Taking a moment to meet one of her newest great-grandbabies: Aubrey Jane Striking a pose by her stack of 90 Pepsi cans. She has been a big Pepsi fan for at least 40 years. It has been part of many family parties and always shows up for chats with family and friends at her kitchen table. Ninety really doesn't look like very many years in Pepsi cans does it??Part of the celebration included letting go of 90 helium filled balloons; It was awesome to watch them slowly disappear in the Idaho sky.



We ended the night with tacos, taffy, cake, pepsi, ......... and for the Grand Finale, we lit 90(I think more like 190) roman candles to finish the night off with a BANG.

Happy Birthday Grandma J!
We love you!

OUR LITTLE WALK to the FIRST DAY O' KINDERGARTEN

Drew started Kindergarten on August 27th. Lo was still home with us because of the maternity leave he gets with his job, so we all walked over together for Drew's Kindergarten debut. We got a lot of pics of his first day:

First picture was taken at our front door:We got this shot of Drew making his way to the school entrance: Waiting for class to start with some friends:

Lining up by the teacher's door and waving goodbye to Mom, Dad, Sommey and Aubrey:
The teacher letting Drew in to his first day of KindergartenSo far he has loved school. It was a lot easier for me to see him start Kindergarten, because he was so chill about the whole thing. If he would have been a mess.....then, I would have lost it. So, yeah for school and yeah for Drew's mellow and happy personality.

Drew is 2+2+2

Last Sunday, was August 2nd which meant a HAppy BirthdaY celebration for Drew.Drew made sure that we knew that Transformers were to be part of the #6 Birthday party....and he ended up with 4 of them by the time he was done opening presents.....so he was very satisfied as they made their appearances.
NOTE OF CAUTION TO PARENTS: Some transformer toys, namely Optimus Prime, should come with a warning: "May take your entire day and every ounce of patience you have to transform from robot to truck.I found this picture of Drew at his 2nd Birthday party....he still has the same cute face and the same happy personality, just a much bigger body.....time really does go by too quickly!! It made my heart hurt to see just how fast he has grown!
