The Johnson's

What about Clarissa?

Yes, she is still with us. We have decided to keep her even though she continually changes her clothes throughout the day and makes art with her poop (you don't want to know about it!) She seems to prefer to wear anything but her own clothes (unless it's a princess dress.) Often she is running around with just a diaper on as she is in between outfits. A few favorites are putting on a pair of Ryan's underwear with soccer shorts and jersey, running around in the boys swim trunks or a swimsuit of mom's, or just one of mom's sports bras. There are just too many choices with all the clothes in the house! Yes, the laundry is piling up faster!

This is a common look. "Where are we going now?" and "Can I have another donut?"

Enjoying ice cream with Dad and the boys on the playset. She is between outfits.

Ryan's 1st Day of Kindergarten

This was what Ryan had been waiting for all his life (so were his parents!) He has loved being in Mrs. Newton's class and has made many new friends. We were beeming at our first parent/teacher conference. Mrs. Newton asked if Ryan was one of her fall birthdays turning 6 because apparently he is near the top of the class. Maybe reading each day with the kids really has some value!

First day on the rug.

Another cheesy smile!

First Day of Preschool

Garrett couldn't be more excited about preschool starting up. He now has Ms. Tammy, Ms. Terry, and Ms. Annette just like Ryan did the year before. Garrett also goes to school four days a week with Friday's off (same day's off as Dad.) Just one more year till kindergarten. Apparently, kindergarten is where it's all happening according to Ryan!

He sure is a handsome kid!

Soccer, Ryan's 2nd year Blue Sharks

Ryan has enjoyed playing another year of soccer. He enjoys making new friends and following the ball all over the field and he does well at both! Mom was team mom again and made the Blue Sharks banner (not as cool as last years, but it works!)

Demitrious and Ryan...I guess they are defending the goal???

Not a very good picture but it shows what I want it to show. Ryan is with the ball. He is really good at getting to it and sticking with it. I think he scored almost every game. Go Blue Sharks!

Annabelle's B-day 6th

Pitts Ranch Park...water games and cupcakes...kids had a great time!

Father's and Son's

The boys and dad finally got to do some camping at the end of the summer. Father's and Son's was at a camp ground in Santa Paula. They couldn't be more happy hanging out with the guys getting dirty!
