Backyard Fun

For those of you who haven't seen the boys in awhile, I thought I'd post some videos of them. Jonah was pushing the lawnmower all around the backyard, crashing into everything, and falling down on purpose. He also was making a tunnel for Jackson to go through on the slide. As you can see that didn't work out so well. Jackson discovered that it is great fun to throw grass and leaves on your little brother. It's a good thing Jonah's such a good sport. He was laughing through the whole thing.

It's also a little fun to rub it in to all you cold weather people, that we can play outside still and not in our snow boots :)

All Boy!

Jackson and Jonah collided coming around a corner. Jackson had a car in his hand which apparently made contact with his face, and here is the result. The picture doesn't really do it justice... it was pretty ugly looking. You've gotta love the dirt all over him. It just adds to it! And, of course, the lovely attitude.

Our Rock Star!

What can I say? He was born cool!

Savannah

We went to Savannah one evening and walked along the river and ate dinner outside. We saw 2 huge container ships come into port during dinner.


Our Friends Dave and Lori.














This was the kids patiently waiting for our table.
























We visited the candy store. If you look closely, you will see the taffy and chocolate mouths :)

Family Pics

We took the opportunity to take some family pictures while they were here. Clay did great as always!

Best Buds!

Emma and Carolyn came to visit last week. Jackson was SO excited. We took them to the beach, Savannah, The Sea Shack, and lots of other fun local stuff.

Football Fans

So opening weekend we had a house rival. Chiefs vs. Texans. As you can see the kids were really cooperative in taking the pictures. They do however love to watch football. They usually reenact it while its on. Jonah will get his football and get down on one knee, holding it. When the ball is hiked on TV, then he will get up and start running around and then pretend like he's been tackled and fall to the ground. It's hilarious to watch. We will work on getting it on video for all to enjoy!

A 2 year old's favorite word!

Why is it that 2 year olds automatically say no before they have really even listened to the question. This video is a prime example. He says "no" to Clay and then says "cheese" and then when I ask him about a fry, he says "no", but then after thinking about it, says "yes".

Fun with Grandpa!

They caught a lizard on our porch. Jackson decided to give it a kiss. I have to thank my dad for telling Jackson that you can pull off lizard tails and they will grow back. About a week after my parents left, Jackson comes in telling me that he pulled a tail off a lizard, but that its okay b/c it will grow back. I went outside to look and sure enough, there was a lizard tail.

More museum fun!

Scary Pirates

The boys dress up like pirates at the kids museum. Some of them are scarier than others!

Jackson's gymnastics

Jackson has started gymnastics again. This is Coach Guy and he also has a female Coach Zuzana.

Hungry Boy

We had blueberry muffins the other day for breakfast. An hour or so later, Jonah appears in our bedroom with a muffin in hand. He had pushed a chair over to the counter, climbed up, and helped himself to one of the leftovers.

More Birthday Pics

A Thomas tent from Granpop and Granginny.











A Cars race track from brother Jackson.














We got some Diego party favors including animal sunglasses.

Jonah's 2nd Birthday!

A candle in his blueberry waffle (that's what he asked for). He also got his first taste of chocolate milk!







The boys opening matching presents... Cars t-shirts!! They were very excited.














He got a puppy that is now affectionately called Snuggle Puppy.


















Check out the loot!















Talking Scoop from Uncle Clay and Aunt Amy!

Jonah had lots of fun opening presents on his 2nd birthday. Here's a quick clip of him opening his echo tunnel.

Our Big 2 Year Old!

Okay, I know everyone says he looks like me, but until this first picture I hadn't really seen it. For some reason, maybe its the look, I do see myself in Jonah. It's hard to believe my baby is two.

A Big Week!

So Sunday marked the first anniversary of our church in its new building, and it was also the first Sunday of our new campus on Hilton Head Island! All very exciting. Today was my first MOPS meeting and I think things went really well. I have a great team of people and they really shined today. I guess I'm officially over my fear of being up in front of people. Next week is my 30th birthday and 8th Anniversary! We have had a busy couple of weeks. I hope everyone out there is doing well.

Clay and me!

We never get our picture taken so we resorted to this :)

Jackson at the beach

Jackson is suddenly in to drawing and writing letters, so the beach is the perfect place to practice. You can see him below jumping into the big hole we found and being a human bridge.
