Happy Birthday, Bethany!

Although this is after Bethany's class party, I'm counting it as on time since her real birthday isn't until tomorrow! Bethany brought REALLY cute bunny cupcakes to school for all her friends!

St Patrick's Day

Yes, I know St. Patrick's Day was over a month ago. But better late than never, right? We celebrated at a rather cold parade!

JONAS: I like to cry.

Really? We never noticed!

We went to Borders today for a Dr. Seuss birthday event. As soon as we walked in Jonas said "This isnt too good. Where are all the decorations?!?" Super loud!

Happy Birthday, Aunt Lisa!

Aunt Lisa turned the big 3-0 on Saturday. We celebrated by going out to lunch at Red Lobster, followed by a party at Lisa's. And of course, we made her wear ridiculous things so everyone would know she's 30. Happy birthday Lisa - we love you!

Happy New Years!?!?

Better late than never, right? New Years was a lot of fun, and the kids stayed up till "midnight"...really about 9:30. The hit of the evening was definitely the confetti!

Jonas: "I'm just like Batman because I can cook!"

God

Jonas' latest theological question - "How did God make Himself?"

Pretty deep thinking for a 4 year old!

I just finished playing My Little Pony with Jonas....and I thought I would miss out on that by having a boy!

Is My Food Really That Bad??

About a week ago, I made chicken, rice, and peppers for dinner. I told Jonas he had to eat 3 peppers since it was the only vegetable we had with dinner. He ate one, made a face, picked up another one, and asked to go to the bathroom. I followed him in there, and sure enough, he threw it in the garbage. I put another one on his plate, made him eat it, and after he finished it I let him have dessert. After dessert I gave him the "You are not allowed to hide or throw away your food" talk. He responded with, "Mommy, I have to show you something". He showed me behind the fridge....where he had thrown all his food from lunch!! Seriously?!? Imagine if he hadn't told me!

Jonas: God is always with us. Mommy: That's right, He is. Jonas: And Jesus is God's son. Mommy: Yup. Jonas: That means two guys are with us all the time!

Sunday School Christmas Pageant

Jonas, Bethany, and Joey were in a Christmas pageant for Sunday School. I wasn't able to take pictures, since I was directing - but I stole these ones from my cousin Laura! Enjoy!

Christmas Morning

Jonas woke up at about 8 AM Christmas morning. (I woke up at 5:30! Who do you think was more excited?!?) Great Grandma Vera slept over, and Grandma and Papa got here really early so they could open the stockings Santa left them, too. Jonas was perfect all morning, and even thanked Santa for his presents.

From December 2010

Jonas was the "director", which meant that he got to decide who opened a present next. This is a picture of the look he gave us every time he was deciding. It was hilarious!

From December 2010

Jonas added in that he wanted Spiderman at the last minute - I guess Santa was able to pull it off!

From December 2010

Jonas stopped all the action about halfway through for Papa to read him his new planet book.

From December 2010

These 3-D glasses came with a new shark book Jonas got in his stocking. They are even shaped like sharks!

From December 2010

This was the favorite toy of the morning. The dinosaur has a ton of sensors - so you don't even have to press buttons for it to do stuff. It's pretty awesome!

Jonas got me some presents, too. He got me some cute Christmas socks, a green hair tie (my favorite color), and a pretty Christmas bracelet. And the best part about it is that he picked them out himself! Here's a picture of me (wearing the presents) and Jonas.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we went to Uncle Tom's and Aunt Karen's. Jonas got to play with Ben (finally!), and they had a great time exchanging presents and playing with Ben's remote control motorcycle. It was a great time spent with family!
