First Tooth Lost!!


It was like any other school morning in the Powers House. Mommy woke Joey up for school. After a few minutes of tickles and giggles, Joey got out of bed. He was on his way to the bathroom, when "it" happened!! "Mommy, oh my... my tooth... oh it just came out... OH MY TOOTH JUST CAME OUT... LOOK!!! This was the screeming coming from Joey. To say he was excited was an understatement!! He called Aunt Louise, not sure he didn't wake her up, but she was happy for him!! So he got ready for school, and we loaded up. We got to school, and as Joey was getting out of the van, he saw one of his friends. That was it, he was gone and started sharing his "cool" news!!

Another First

Joey ended his first week of First grade with some good news. He earned two bees for his good behavior. Good job!! Also another first to add to the baby book, he has his first loose tooth. Bottom tooth, one in the middle. He told me about it all day!! I tried to tell him it may take some time for it to come out, but no, he is sure it will come out soon!!!

First day of First Grade


Joey's school lunch with a little surprise!!

















As we were on our way out the door. Joey ran back in to grab something. I told him we need to go. He ran back out and while catching his breath said "I need an apple to give to my teacher, I almost forgot to get it!!" We have been reading books about going to school, and the children give the teacher an apple. I just hope the apple was good. I haven't bought apples in a week or two, oops!!






Leon and I went for a walk around the fish pond. Just some pretty flowers we saw.








Butterflies were all over the flowers. I was excited to get a few pictures of them.

Boys and toys



It just goes to show, there is no difference between boys and men, other than the size of their toys!!


I don't know who was more excited about the new truck, Leon or Joey!!! Leon, is just happy to be in a truck. Joey loves the color, and thinks it is just cool to have a truck.


Joey's first ride in the truck. Bye, bye boys!!

Last day of Kindergarten

Shhh, sleeping little Joey. Oh wait, it is time for school!! WAKE UP JOEY!!!







I packed him a fun last day of school lunch. 1/2 of PB and J sandwich, a few Cheetos, raisins, veggie juice, oh yes and a last day of school cookie!!

The last day of Kindergarten came to a fun end. They had field day today, a lot of games played on the field.

We went to the mall after school and got Joey a new friend at Build A Bear. Hearts is his name.

Then we went to the candy store. How cute are the Lego candy.

School is almost out!!

Joey is almost out of Kindergarten. It is so hard to believe that his first year is almost over. Looking at all he has learned is just amazing to me. It at times, has been a tough year. Learning he has ADHD is the hardest to work on. It just seemed no matter what we did, there was such a tiny change. I am thankful that he was put on the right medicine the first time. We didn't have to try a few until it was right. We are thankful to Miss Robinson that she worked with us. She has taught him so much, and he really loves her. She is a very positive teacher, and we will miss her.


He has came so far this year. Learning how to write, count, and read. He is a great reader, he loves to read. His math, he is able to add and subtract up to the sum or difference of 20. His writing is much easier to read now. The letter in his name face the correct way, most of the time.


Cute little poem about the Kindergarten class. He is very cute to watch say it. He isn't able to snap, so he makes a popping noise with his mouth.

My little boy is not so little any longer. The baby years are gone. I look forward to all the new adventures we will go on from here. My sweet boy, Joey, I loved you then, I love you now, I love you always!! How do you suppose of all the little boys I got the most special one. I'm so proud of you, and so proud to be your Mommy!!

Almost done!!

Joey is about finished with school, last day June 3. Although he has summer school starting June 8. He is taking a Lego building class. He is very excited about it. I'm not to excited about the time, 7:30 am - 12:00pm. We have about a 15 minute drive to the school. Ha Ha, I thought he was hard to wake up at 7:00am not looking forward to waking him up at 6:00am!!

I know this is Joey's blog, but I wanted to share a few pictures of mine and Leon's bed. It isn't finished, the frame needs to be repainted white. I think I want to put vines and flowers all the way around the frame. I was getting an idea of what it would look like. One of these days I will get my quilt done. It matches the blue and white flower pillow.

































I cut out pictures and put them under the glass.
