Crash!

I'm behind in posting but the next day Donovan crashed on his bike and scraped his knee. You would have thought that I chopped his leg off. I finally got him settled and fixed up with bandaids and he was just fine. But I decided for my sanity we should probably take some precautions... So we got him fixed up with elbow pads, knee pads, and a helmet. Much better ;)

Burning rubber!!

A few weeks ago my brother Andrew was so kind and helped Donovan try to loose his training wheels. I had tried once before and it was pathetic (both on my part and Donovan's) and so figured he wasn't quite ready and we would just have to wait until Ken got home. He was pretty nervous and was really unstable but did really well for the first try. But it was before school and he was going to his mom's right after so he didn't get much practice in. So today Donovan's asks if he can ride his bike. Andrew wasn't here and the training wheels were off so I told him he could try but might not be able to since he hadn't practiced. WRONG!! The kid was tearing it up!!! He just hopped on and off he went. He wobbled quite a bit but he did awesome. He even mastered turning around on the driveway. We emailed the pictures to Daddy so he wouldn't miss out. Way to go kiddo I am so proud of you!! :)

SINGLE DIGITS!!!!

Isn't he such a sexy soldier!?! Yesterday marked 9 weeks to go until Ken is home. I am sooooooo excited. Time has really gone by so fast. It doesn't seem like that long ago that I was saying we were halfway and that was 16 weeks and here we are at 9 already! I am so excited to have him home I can hardly wait. Though I am a little worried as we get down to the wire how it will be. I have two theories. One time will slow completely and it will take forever to get to the actual day, or it will move at record pace and I will be crazy stressed trying to get ready for his homecoming. Knowing me it will probably be both!! Either way it means Ken will be home soon and I couldn't be happier!! Ken I love you and miss you like crazy!!!

Dear Tooth Fairy

So Donovan came over this weekend and I immediately noticed something different. He lost his first tooth sometime this week!!! I was so excited for him and asked what the toothfairy brought. Sadly for some reason she didn't come to his house plus he said he lost it somewhere in his house. I was shocked and upset and explained to him that we can leave her a note and I am sure she would still visit. So we sat down and Donovan wrote her a note all by himself. He learned in school that you use two fingers to make the space inbetween the words :) I told him that his fingers are big enough that he could probably just use one finger now ;) Then we put the note under his pillow and he went to sleep. I wondered if he would remember in the morning but he checked first thing and there was a crisp one dollar bill under his pillow! He was so excited and came running into my room to show me what he got. I am happy that the good ole Tooth Fairy came through in the end :)

The Johnson's

Thursday night I went and stayed the night at Stacie's in Tooele. They are moving to Davis County this week so it was my last chance ;) Stacie's girls are so cute!! and full of energy!!!!! These picures were taken when they were supposed to be getting into bed:) Friday poor Reagen was sick. But we worked to get the house ready to show that afternoon. We had fun and went to lunch then went back to the Johnson's and everyone but Cambree fell asleep watching tv!! Then the girls watched some movies and me Stacie and Jerid stayed upstairs and played some games. It was really fun and we even got Jerid to play mall madness!!!! He secretly loved it!!! It was funny and we laughed. I love the Johnson's and I love how they make me feel part of the family. I am sooooooo excited they are moving closer!!!!!

Chloe Jane

So Kristian and his family came over last night for dinner. We ate, chatted, laughed and had a good time. While they were over, Chloe was on my laptop and looked through my entire history of blogs. She was quite disappointed in how few posts she was in so I grabbed my camera. This one is for you Chloe! Chloe is such a gorgeous girl who I love to death! She is growing up too fast though!! I wish she could stay little forever. We either need to lock her up until she is 21 or send her out with a body guard!!! :)

Weekend at Bogey's

So I am pathetic and barely left the house this holiday weekend. It was nice to chill and be lazy though. KHP had a show Friday and Saturday night at Bogeys and of course I was there being their #1 fan and all!!! They did really well and as always, they put on a great show! Brother Jake running the sound board. Here's Kathryn trying to dance and Amiee apparently can't get enough to drink!! Jake and Aubrey having a good time. Mum and Dad were there Friday night. And Uncle Dave just landed from England so he and Auntie Julie stopped by for a bit as well. It was fun.
