Life Lately

Well, school will resume in less than a month.  As usual, I have mixed feelings.  I love teaching and am very fortunate to have a job.  However, I love staying home with Jonathan, too.  It's a good thing that my job allows me to be a stay-at-home mom for 3 months out of the year!

Here are some recent pictures...enjoy!

Jammin' with Uncle Karl.

Helping Mommy with the laundry.

Enjoying homemade popsicles.

Uncle Bob and Aunt Nancy at a wedding.

Jonathan and Uncle Bob dancing away.

Toys and treats at the wedding.

Shaving cream painting.  (Jonathan did not really enjoy this activity.)

Mandi sure loved it, though!  She painted for a LONG time!


Kim and Mandi thoroughly enjoyed the shaving cream.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Cornstarch putty with glitter and food coloring = fun!  Jonathan and Mandi BOTH loved it!

Holding hands at the museum.

It took about 5 takes to get this shot. 

Officially outgrew his crib/toddler bed.

I can't believe how LONG he is!

First night in his new bed!

Lots of room to stretch out.

Oh, and I got a perm.  :O) 

He made up some song while riding this dog...it was really cute!


Handsome!

Best buddies.  Seriously.

Happy 4th!

We spent the 4th of July swimming at my dad's house with my brother and sisters and their families.  We had  a grill out, enjoyed some music, and watched "Independence Day."  (Jonathan was only slightly obsessed with the aliens.)  The evening ended with Jonathan in my arms watching the fireworks...unforgettable.

American Flag cake...yummy!

Getting braver....

Gavyn pretended that he was a shark and chased Darin and Jonathan around the pool.  :O)

Nice catch!

Miss!
