March Phone Randoms....Part 4...

How to make friends with Connor: give her piggy back rides and feed her ice cream.


Cheese!


Taking pictures of her cute bermuda-shorts...and her "cute" comb-over...


Love pictures of my sleeping babies...


Keeping the hair out of her face...


Waiting at the doctor's office...don't even remember why we were there, but the wait was LONG.


Bonus: Popsicles!


The kids had "Movie Day" at Barb's daycare.  So, it was a "Drive-In" theatre.  :)  


First nice day=Lunch outside!
Which also translates into them eating less...


My yard-work helpers.  :)  Everyone gets a job!

March Phone Random's...Part 3...

Just a swingin'....


Benefit to Jace getting older: He is getting better at Mario Kart.  :)


We love sunshine.  We love wagon rides.


And we love each other. :)  (Be still my heart!)




Interesting clothes, you say?  Connor is obsessed with Jace's clothes.  Sadly, they almost fit her.



Sleepy baby.  Comfy mommy.


I crafted! With 5 kids! And some help....made these for spring...one for Jennifer, one for Aunt Melissa, one for Grandma B, and one for me.


While we were away skiing, Connor attended the wedding of Jesse Clark and Kaley Witham....making friends with sweets!

March Phone Randoms...Part 2...

He lets her think she is the one playing...


Just reading books...


I just love love love this.  :)


Jace helping smash oreos for his birthday cake...


Walking up the slide...monkey see, monkey do.  :(  We are quickly finding out Connor thinks she has no limits...


Ice cream? Yes.  Blue sprinkles?  YES!  Happy birthday Jace!


Oh! I love powdered donuts!


I shouldn't....but we have to document this.  Just hanging out, flying my plane...


Auntie Jenn and the babies, all ready for bed!


Connor loves to love on Cassidy...or pick on her, or push her....

March Phone Randoms...Part 1

Kyler loves to be dressed in Jace's clothes...


Connor loves a good donut!


Some of Jace's schoolwork...



Jekyll and Hyde.
She's really caught on to crossing her arms and pouting her lip...cute, but not good....


Poker at Grandma's!  Just kidding...
It was a wild game of Go Fish.


I love mudboots!  And Connor does too! Easy to put on all by herself!


Jace, do you want to go work with Dad?  Yes!
Do you want to help pick up sticks?  Yes!

He didn't realize it was going to be an entire tree line that was taken out...

Anyway, got some field work done on a new farm we are renting...and it wasn't fun, but the job is done.  And Jace did help...a little.  :)

Jace's Family

We are unbelievably blessed to have so many Great-Grandparents and family members that are still living, and that live close so they can celebrate with Jace.  Each year on birthdays, we take a picture of all of them!

Great-Grandpa George and Great-Grandpa Erma Johnson


Uncle Jay and Aunt Morgan


Great-Grandma Lucille


Grandma Janie and Grandpa Jerry a.k.a. Grandma and Grandpa "J"


Great-Grandma Darlyne and Great-Grandpa Richard


Uncle Aaron, Aunt Melissa, and a new baby cousin due in September!


Aunt Jena, Uncle Carl, and a new baby cousin due in June!


Grandma Carol and Grandpa Jerry, a.k.a. Grandma and Grandpa "B"


And the Luedke's.  The only people it takes more than one shot to get a photo of....
Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Derek, Colton (7), Kyler (5), and Cassidy (16 months).


The only family not able to be with us was Great-Grandma Pat and Great Grandpa Bud Boos.

A Birthday Party. For a FIVE Birthday.

As soon as Jace turned 4, he started talking about his "FIVE" birthday.


These babies kept themselves entertained during the party...



We all helped blow out candles...



He requested a "Dirt Cake" to go with his John Deere party.  No problem!  Easiest birthday cake. Ever.  And probably the tastiest too....


The Johnson Family
Jace is 5, Connor is 1 1/2.  Both shocking.





Connor got pretty excited to watch Jace's video...even danced to the music for us! 


Boys doing what they do best...


Gift opening is so hectic.  He got some really fun games and toys though!
