Happy Valentine's Day!

A couple of the Valentine cards we sent out this year. The kids had fun during

out little photo shoot.

Allergy/Asthma Doctor -- February 2, 2009

Sawyer's scratch test

Sawyer was not a happy camper. Mommy's in big trouble because

she told Sawyer that he would not be getting any pokes at this doctor's office. Wrong.


He did enjoy watching Scooby Do, though.

Allergy/Asthma Doctor -- February 2, 2009

Sawyer was not too happy about having his shirt off, but I told him he needed to

give me a smile anyway.

After Sawyer was able to put his shirt on, he made himself at home.

You can see the red rash on his cheek in this picture.


A not so fun party at 4 a.m. --Sawyer's cheeks were really bugging him. He wanted
Vaseline on them and band-aids.

Snow Day -- January 27th, 2009

The Johnston 4 heading out to play in the snow on our first snow day!

Sawyer decides to clean the deck for awhile.

Sawyer's first day of school--January 29th, 2009. Sawyer started a preschool

co-op today. He'll go one day a week and every 3rd week the kids will come to our house.

He was so excited and wanted to have his school picture taken just like

his siblings did on their first day of school.

Dog Pile on Daddy -- January 2009

January 23, 2009

Our first time making it to the clinic before it opened for the day. Sawyer desperately wanted to get in and play with the train table. Here he is making a Power Ranger move outside of the main door. The pro's of having the earliest appointment: 1) For Mom--Front row parking space & 2) For Sawyer--Having the train table to himself.

Yippee, the train table!

The Johnston 4 heading to our friend's military retirement. Sawyer's more interested in the helicopters and Hunter had no desire to have his picture taken.


Sawyer really wanted a piece of this cake--actually he just wanted the iciing.

On our way home from the retirement celebration, Sawyer said he needed a band-aid because his head hurt. Here's where he put the band-aid. Sure would be nice if a band-aid could solve all of our problems.

January 16, 2009 -- Future Power Ranger

This morning I was in my room doing my personal study while Sawyer was in our computer room playing a computer game (or so I thought.) I could hear the game running so I figured he was playing his game like usual...but nope! A few minutes later Sawyer came bounding in the bedroom exclaiming, "I'm a Power Ranger!"

He also decided to color the computer and computer desk. Thankfully, he did not do this to our new computer! That would have been awful!

The black marker would not come off completely. You can still see traces on his face, hands and arms. Hmmm...now I'm wondering who left a black marker out?
