Pictures

Andrea and I took Jonah out to do his pictures for Christmas Cards yesterday. He wasn't very cooperative again, so here are a few of the cute ones she got:



He was more interested in the ducks and fish in the water.



Smiling but a little weird. Never give a kid a buzz cut right before getting their pictures done.






I was trying to get him to laugh by playing peek a boo, but then he started doing it back to me.



Trying to get away!



Almost off the rock.



Running around on the wall!



A Cute one, he looks so serious!



This is probably the winner, I had to crop it down because he was doing something funky with his hands. Sorry for the butt load of pictures but I thought the grandma's would enjoy it.

Mistake!

I have been SOOO good about staying away from Coach purses lately. I haven't been looking at them online, or in the stores (except that one time with Rachael). But tonight I caved and looked on their website and I LOVE this bag. Guess I am going to have to start saving my pennys!

Halloween

Of course I planned way to much stuff to do for Halloween this year. And since I didn't get off work until 4 we had to squeeze it all in a short amount of time. Next year we are just going to do one thing.



My adorable little pirate. I didn't think he would keep the hat one but he LOVED it. He still keeps putting it on. Yesterday he even wore it all around Target.



Our first stop was to see my parents. Jonah had to love on his Aunt Beka.



And then he had to boss his Aunt Beka and Uncle Jake around.



Then he went trick or treating for his first time at his "Old" Grandma's house (his great grandma, she calls herself that).



Then we headed over to my in laws house so he could go trick or treating with his cousins, Aunts, Uncle and grandma and Santa!



Trick or treating! He didn't want a sword so he is a pirate carrying a maraca (because that is what all the cool pirates do, didn't you know)! He was actually really well behaved while we went trick or treating. He always said trick or treat and then always said Thank you when they gave him the candy. I was totally expecting a melt down because he wanted to eat all the candy right then. I don't think he realized that is what was being put in his pumpkin and he was totally good the whole time.



After we went to about 8 houses we headed over to our old churches Harvest Party to meet up with my parents. He was starting to get a little tired by that point since it was about 8pm.



Once we got to the Harvest Party he was excited because they had a bounce house. He has just recently discovered the joy of bounce houses so he was pretty excited. He pretty much stayed in there the rest of the night.



After the bounce house he had lost most of his costume and was VERY thirsty.



Lastly we headed back to visit my in laws and Jonah finished out the night by playing the bongos with his daddy!

He was pretty worn out from the evening and didn't wake up till after 9am, which is about two hours later then normal for him. It was pretty awesome for us!

Pumpkin Patch

We took Jonah to the pumpkin patch tonight so he could pick one out to carve tomorrow night. He had so much fun running all over the place.



He insisted on sitting on all of the pumpkins.



Maybe someone told him this is how to choose the best one?


He finally choose one just his size.

We also taught Jonah to say Trick or Treat to prepare him for Saturday. He is a little off the wall in this video probably from the watermelon Icee he just had.

Okay now for some reason blogger is uploading all of my pictures in HTML code. Is anyone else having this problem? It is kind of annoying.

Laughing

Don't you love when kids are so tired they get a little slap happy. We were at dinner and Jonah kept "pinching" his grandpa with the salad tongs and he thought it was the funniest thing in the world. I took this video at the end of it but he had been doing this for about 5 minutes and he couldn't stop laughing(I love his laugh it is so contagious). Sorry it is so dark but the restaurant was pretty dim.

More Conversations with Jonah

Here is what a typical conversation with Jonah sounds like these days. He throws in some words with some mumbo jumbo. He may actually be saying stuff and we just haven't figured it out yet, but it is pretty funny to listen to. Plus he has the sweetest voice.

Bedtime

Jonah doesn't ever really sit still so trying to read him a bedtime story doesn't usually work out so well. Tonight he was having a hard falling asleep so Joe decided to try it. He read him Love You Forever, and this book always gets me choked up at the end. I mean I usually have tears in my eyes when I get done. Jonah did so good and laid there between me and Joe while Joe read the whole book to him.


Of course Joe had to point out and cars that were in the pictures. It was really sweet.
