Student of the Month

We are very proud of Connor for excelling in Kindergarten and doing such a great job with reading.  He was recently honored as a Student of the Month for his reading and Camille got to attend his awards presentation.  Connor was SO proud to have his little sister with him, he loved showing her off to his friends.

Christmas 2015

We started off with Santa pictures.  Camille was SO excited...right up until it was her turn.  She wanted nothing to do with him.

Connor's holiday program at school.

Ready to check out Christmas Card Lane!

Writing his wish to Santa (which, of course, came true).

Little monkey is giving Connor a run for his money...

Connor recently learned to do the monkey bars.

Imagine his surprise when Camille told him that she could do them too...and she did!

Halloween 2015

Our annual pumpkin carving contest was fun, but I really need some competition as I continue to win year after year...

From left to right:  Camille's Mouse (carved by Mommy), Connor's spider (carved by Mommy), Mindy's owl, Chad's pumpkin face, Grandma Dianne's CANDY mouth.

Annual daycare trip to the pumpkin patch for a hayride!

And Duck Dynasty guy:


They both went to the "scary house" at the end of the street this year (previous years have left them in tears just walking by)...

Happy 3rd Birthday, Camille!

 (there were 3 candles, but she got 2 out before I took the picture)

Grandma Dianne came for the weekend to help Camille celebrate 

(Auntie Stacy got sick last minute and couldn't make it)!

Connor started soccer this fall and it was good (it was actually really slow).  He spent a lot of time watching the ball....or watching the clouds move by.  He didn't get aggressive with it until his last few games.  Camille wasn't very interested in watching soccer, fortunately, the games were only 30 minutes long.

High five from his coach after scoring a goal!

Connor is so sweet to his baby sister (most of the time).

First day of Kindergarten!

It's a good thing there aren't any pictures of me without my sunglasses on because I was crying my eyes out watching my baby boy go line up for his first day of Kinder.  It was a little embarrassing because I seemed to be the only Mom who couldn't keep it together...

Connor's school is 1 block away from our house.  Here we are walking him there!

He was so excited.

My post here is really late, but Connor has now been in Kindergarten for just over 3 months and is loving it.  We are amazed day after day with how much he has learned.  He is already reading, writing and doing addition!  We are so proud!

Connor has also lost 2 teeth in the past few months.  Fortunately, the tooth fairy has remembered to come both times.
