We just saw Cars 2. Grandma Jane asked Jonas if he liked the movie, and he said "It makes me want to turn into a car!"

Fun in the Creek

Jonas and I met the Radts down at the creek this afternoon. It was quite an adventure...

It started off with some normal water fun...

From June 2011

Until Luke lost his flip flop, and Mrs. Lindsay had to go running after it!

From June 2011

If you look way off in the distance, you can see a guy who very kindly intercepted the flip flop and returned it. But not before Mrs. Lindsay was soaking wet.

From June 2011

Mrs. Lindsay was super excited to be all wet, and she had an injured toe too. All to save a $2 pair of flip flops.

From June 2011

Jonas and Amelia were quite the little sweethearts all day, constantly holding hands and never more than 2 feet away from each other.

From June 2011

They've spotted a crayfish...and Mrs. Lindsay decided to try to catch it.

From June 2011

She got it! Jonas thought it was super cool...

From June 2011

Until it pinched him.

From June 2011

It took a few minutes to get over that little episode, but he is tough. He perked up to take a picture with Mrs. Lindsay and Amelia. Still holding hands...

From June 2011

It was an awesome afternoon. Thanks Mrs. Lindsay, Luke, and Amelia!!

Playing Outside

Jonas and I played outside a little bit this morning, and he got some practice time in on his scooter.

From June 2011

So Jonas is going into Kindergarten in the fall, so he won't be able to take naps anymore. Now keep in mind he still naps for 2 1/2 - 3 hours every afternoon. Being the smart mom I am, I figured I would take away his naps during the summer so he would get used to it. Today was Day #1. Jonas went into his room to look at books....

From June 2011

Yeah...it didn't work out so well. I went to check on him about 15 minutes later, and he had put himself to bed!

Swimming

Jonas had a great Father's Day weekend with his dad. He came home early enough today for us to stop over at his uncle's house, and guess what he ended up doing?? Swimming!

Playground

Jonas and I enjoyed the beautiful weather by playing on the playground today. We were super excited when we got there, because they had added a bunch of new stuff. Fun!

From June 2011

There are 3 other little boys on the playground right now, but Jonas is choosing to hang out with a 9 year girl. Should I be worried?

Quote of the Day

Jonas: Who's going to breakfast?

Papa: Just me and you.

Jonas: No Papa, God is always with us...but you don't have to order him anything.

New Scooter!

Santa finally brought Jonas' new scooter! He gave Jonas a scooter on Christmas, but it was missing parts. This one looks great, and Jonas loves it!

Dead!

I had to bring Jonas with me to a wake last night. As we were passing the casket, Jonas pointed at the body, and said (loudly), "Dead!"

Star Wars Night

On Saturday we took the kids up to Star Wars night at the Bison's game. We all had a great time!

Swim Class

Jonas just finished his last swim class for this session. He is doing great, and he gets to start level 1 next! He loves to walk under water and jump in the pool.

Quote of the Day

While Jonas was taking his bath, he was naming parts of his body he was going to wash.

Jonas: "Now it's time for my bum butt. That's funny! But it's not appropriate."

Memorial Weekend Camping

We went camping at Stonybrook State Park for Memorial Day weekend with the Lafferty's and the Radt's. Uncle Mike, Aunt Mary, Papa, and Grandma came up on Saturday, too! We had a great time, and here's a bunch of pictures to prove it!

Stonybrook has a great playground with a lot of cool spinny things!

From May 2011

We took a little hike through the creek, and went swimming in it the next day. It was a good thing Jonas was around to help Mommy...I wasn't too good at it!
