Happy 5th Birthday, Connor!!

This little man is 5!  I can't believe that it has been FIVE years!  Where has the time gone?  I can't even imagine in another 5 years....yikes!

Connor has turned into an amazingly caring, sweet, smart, handsome, and so very artistically talented little man.  I couldn't be more proud of him. 

Here are a few of my favorite pictures to recap him as a little tyke:

Flashback Friday!!

Happy Friday!!  In light of my little man losing his first tooth this week, I thought I would post a picture of me when I lost my first tooth.  Not sure if Connor's picture is much better than me, we are both pretty silly!!  AND my hair!  Yikes!!  LOL.

Flashback Friday!!

As part of my New Year's Resolution of going through pictures, I thought I would add some fun...every Friday I will post a "flashback" photo from sometime in the past...it may get interesting!! 

Connor & Dylan selected the first picture of the year, Mommy with Mickey many many years ago!  And it confirms that I will never have bangs again :-)

Hope you enjoy the pictures, it sure is entertaining to look back through the pictures from childhood, high school, college, and even when the boys were just babies!  Photos really very special and bring back so many memories!

Elf on the Shelf...Woody, Day 19

Woody left some 'seeds' to plant, but he didn't say what would grow.  We planted them in sugar, so I am guessing that something sweet grows.  The boys think it will take until Christmas to grow.  We shall see.

Elf on the Shelf...Woody, Day 12

Oh, Woody!  I thank-you for attempting to make coffee....that means I got Starbucks instead :-)  Which happened to be VERY needed this morning.  Although it was kind of a mess, the boys thought it was super funny that Woody tried to make coffee.  You just never know where to find Woody in the morning.  Funny little Elf!

Elf on the Shelf...Woody, Day 11

This is what Woody left on the table, at the breakfast nook this morning...Connor's Vanilla milk & Dylan's Chocolate milk...they were excited.  However, Dylan had quite the freak out the Woody was staring him in the face (really about 12 inches away) while he ate his breakfast.  Dylan insisted I move him and put him back in the Christmas tree.  So, the sucker I am, I did....so, this is where he spent the rest of the day...

Woody left a special treat this morning.  Donuts.  LOL, actually, they were elf donuts.  They were teeny tiny chocolate frosted donuts with sprinkles.  They were gobbled up in no time.  And the boys said they were tasty!
