Birthday Party Fun

John is at the age where he's starting to get invited to a lot of birthday parties. Gone are the days of just eating cake at home with mommy and daddy I guess. :) He had a party at the Nature and Science museum last weekend and loved it.

First Trip to the Dentist

John recently had his first trip to the dentist and he did awesome! He was such a big boy and let them do all their cleaning and flossing without any hesitation. He really liked getting a new toothbrush and toothpaste when he was done. He also said "Mommy, this is just like when Caillou went to the dentist.". Thank you Caillou cartoon! :)

Halloween Cookies

This year we had Lily and her family come over to make Halloween cookies.  Lily and John had so much fun making cookies and a haunted house...well sort of.  :)  The box instructions were way too difficult so we improvised.  :)  Nothing like a haunted cookie mess.  :)

Lily is ready for the picture, John is laughing at his hand because he was licking off icing

Decorating the "haunted house"...or whatever it turned out to be :)

Admiring his work

Love this smile!

This is what mid chew looks like.  LOL!

Delicious icing!

That's the way to eat a cookie!

Outdoor playtime

We enjoy playing outside as much as we can.  Here are some pics of us having fun and John enjoying a homemade popsicle...his favorite treat! We make them out of fresh fruit and keifer so they're super healthy...who knew they could be so delicious? :)

Chillin with a popsicle

We love superman clothing!

Fun on the slide!

It's too boring to go down regularly :)

How did I end up on my stomach?? :)

Kite flying with daddy

A few months ago (yes, I  know I'm late) we finally got out the kites that have been sitting in John's closet and let him experience flying a kite.  He loved it and had so much fun.  Here's a few pictures to capture the moment:

Oh yeah, time to fly Nemo!!

Daddy showing him the ropes...or string in this case :)

John's got this down!
