Jonas Moment of the Day

I woke Jonas up today from his nap because it was time for dinner. He told me he wanted to eat and got up and walked downstairs. When he got down, he looked around the kitchen (at the taco ingredients) and asked, "Where's the pizza?" I have no idea why he thought we were having pizza. Two theories: Jonas thinks tacos smell like pizza - or - We eat way too much pizza! Probably the second one unfortunately...

Playground Time!

After lunch and sledding, even though we were freezing, we relented to about 15 minutes of playground time.

Sledding x 3!

For the third time this week, we were blessed with nice enough weather to go sledding! This time Bethany and Aunt Lisa joined us. Jonas and I picked up a couple new sleds at the store before we went, which both the kids loved. Of course, they were supposed to be for the adults! Nothing ever seems to work out the way you intend! Jonas had his first sledding collision - with Bethany! Bethany was able to stay on her sled, but Jonas flipped right off and sat in the middle of the hill crying. Afterwards he declared "I don't want to sled anymore. I want to go inside!" That lasted almost 2 minutes, and then he was trucking back up the hill to go down again!


Jonas is "looking at the clouds". I think he was just tired and didn't want to admit it!




Lunch in the lodge by the fire!

Happy Birthday Aunt Lisa!




I thought of the best birthday cake for Lisa this year - a Monopoly cake! Of course, we brought out the cake and forgot to sing or have her blow out candles....minor details. It tasted good though, Jonas finished his piece in about 3 bites!

Sledding Again!






We went sledding again on Thursday. This time Bethany and Rebekah were able to come too! They both loved it, and actually Jonas was the first one to get too cold this time. We ended our morning with a "picnic" lunch in the heated lodge next to the hill. It was a fun day!

Sledding

Jonas went sledding down a hill for the first time today. We bought a couple of plastic sleds and headed out to Como Park. Jonas absolutely loved it! He wasn't afraid at all (not that I'm surprised), and he must have gone down and walked back up the hill about 30 times. He even got "Aunt" Beth, "Uncle" Ryan, and Grandma to sled with him! Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera, so no pictures. But I'm hoping the weather will cooperate enough to go one more time this week!

Goofy Jonas

Bowling Night!





We took the kids bowling on Friday. Jonas was a trooper and played 2 whole games. The ball only stopped on the alley a couple of times!

Towering Wall of Snow!


Matt and I built an AWESOME wall of snow last week. The kids wanted to "help" - which actually consisted of Matt and I trying to convince them not to knock it down. It is still standing now, a week later!

And...We're Back!

Ok, I'm sure much to everyone's annoyance (because I keep changing my mind), I am going back to using Blogger. I didn't like Wordpress at all, and found it very difficult to work with pictures on that site. Since that is the majority of this blog, I am coming back here! I don't think it is worth it to move the few posts that I posted there, but you can still click the link in the previous post on this blog to visit Word Press if you would like.
