Fall Festival

Today we went to the 8th annual Fall Festival at the Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve. The kids had a great time looking at all different kinds of animals. Jonas' favorite was the tarantula! He definitely isn't like his mother where spiders are concerned! He even picked the picture of a spider to get painted on his face at the face-painting station.

Bowls Are So Much Fun...

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Saturday was my birthday so we all celebrated with some cake and ice cream pie. Jonas got me a little kid charm with his birthstone in it for my phone, and a purse and giftcard to Marshall's. He even learned how to say "Birthday, Mommy!" What a sweet little boy! Less than a month until it's his turn...

Kissing Torture!

My poor little boy has such a crazy mommy...

I Love to Read!

Play Time!

Jonas had a great time playing at Aunt Lisa's today. He got to draw on the easel with marker and get his hands all messy. He practiced his letters and numbers with the magnets and counted "one, two" about a hundred times in a row. He also had a great time playing in the boxes Aunt Lisa was using to reorganize!

Cute Cousins

Cars Cars Cars!

In case you haven't noticed, Jonas is obsessed with Cars! These are a couple pictures of him showing off his Mater toy and Lightning McQueen ball. The song he is dancing to in the video is the opening song in Cars. Jonas will even be getting a big boy room that is Cars pretty soon...almost time to get rid of the crib!

Dr. Mario!

Gotta love Dr. Mario! Even Jonas and Bethany can do it!

Piggy Back Rides!

Jonas and Bethany love piggy back rides...especially when Aunt Lisa is the piggy!

Beaver Island

On Monday we went to Beaver Island for a beach day. Jonas went swimming in the lake, and tried to throw a frisbee. I think the highlight of his day was playing with the ice!

Face Painting!

We went over to Uncle Mike and Aunt Mary's tonight to welcome them back from their honeymoon. Jonas had a lot of fun playing with Samantha (Aunt Mary's niece). She even painted Jonas' face!

Black Lake

In the middle of August, Jonas went to Black Lake with his daddy and the Herdlein side of the family. He had a great time playing with his cousins and aunts and uncles. He even got to ride on a boat!

Stuffed Animals

Jonas has a serious obsession with his stuffed animals! He piles them all into Bekah's swing, and then turns on the music for them to listen to. He swings them, and then takes them out and puts them back in over and over.

Peek-a-Boo!

Dance Fever!

Jonas loves to dance!

Bowl Head

Jonas is so goofy!

Crystal Beach

Despite the rainy weather today, we actually made it out to Crystal Beach for some swimming and playing in the sand. Jonas took a little bit to warm up to the water, but he had a lot of fun once he did. His favorite part was jumping the waves with Mommy. He also spent a lot of time being concerned about Baxter, "Aunt" Beth's new little puppy. Once the thunderstorms hit, we packed up and headed over to the McKernans for some yummy hot dogs and hamburgers!

Cars

Shouldn't they switch cars?!?

Painting

Jonas is becoming a pretty good artist!
