family pictures

here are just a couple!

i have been wanting family pictures since last fall, but it has not worked out for many different reasons.  well, on mothers day that is something that myk said that we could go ahead and get done.  i was super stoked and am so glad that we waited until now to actually do them.  it would have been even harder with jones if we would have gotten them done sooner, plus i absolutely love how they turned out!! we used a photographer here in medford.  her photography business is alisha chase photographer and she absolutely ROCKS! i would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to get there pics taken and we will be a returning customer for her as well :) thanx babe for the wonderful mothers day gift as well as everything else that you made happen that day.....luv you! 

just listening

now listening AND dancing

sooo jonah is all about music, just like his daddy! he loves getting a hold of mine and myk's ipod...or the stereo for that matter. i finally decided to video it. since i have never done that before i did not realize i could not rotate the video...sorry. next time it will be right :)

earth day project

we decided that it was time for us to put our green thumb to the test. today, we went and bought some flowers and the cute hanging basket and pot. we planted the flowers and love having so many in our yard. then we went ahead and planted some herbs and tomatoes. we shall see what happens...but we will hope for the best. if all works out we should have some basil, cilantro, and onions...mmm. it was a lot of fun spending time together and we all helped each other out :)

fun in cali

this last week was so much fun!! we headed to california friday night and got to la at about 330 am....it was such an easy drive. we stayed with myk's aunt and uncle for five nights and then headed up to santa barbara for a night, then off to santa cruz for a night. we had a lot of fun checking out the beach...jonah was not into the sand AT ALL the first time we went, but he warmed up to it. it just took some easing into each time...haha! myk's uncle took myk and i to a dodgers game...they won of course ;) we had a few rough patches with the little guy, but overall it was a great vacation and some good quality family time!!

he is still definitely into bathtime. if we say the word bath he starts running to the bathroom saying bath bath over and over again. jonah has a new fun toy....the swiffer! its pretty cute, but he sure gets angry when he gets it stuck under a piece of furniture!! i guess it just interupts his superb cleaning...haha. seriously, why do we buy kids toys anyway :)

fun family day

on friday we had such beautiful weather!! we had to get some family time in, since myk just got home from a trip and was leaving again in a couple of days. we went to jacksonville and played at the park and then walked around town. it was a lot of fun seeing how excited jonah was just to be playing outside in the nice weather. however, he was more interested in watching the other kids than actually playing himself, but we had a blast in the sun and looking around in the stores.

we are so blessed! the Lord has really provided for us....what more could we ask for?! jonah is just becoming more and more like a little boy. he is really trying to say different words, learning his colors and animals, and just being an amazing little boy. one of his favorite things to do is go outside...such a boy! he could swing on our porch swing for as long as we would let him. i would say that is one of his favorite things to do right now...well that and get into everything. work is going well for myk and i am actually doing some work for the dr that i use to work for. i would have to say we dont have much of anything to complain about...other than the summer could not get here fast enough!! we are just so thankful for all of our friends and family....who are just amazing!

so much has gone on since i have done this....how do i blog again???! well, to start off our handsome little boy is now TOTALLY walking. he is soo over that whole crawling business. it is so much fun watching him walk around. the bummer part is now he is constantly falling.....over and over and over again. i do have to say that it really isnt as crazy as everyone makes it sound, with him getting into everything now that he is walking everywhere.....yay!! well i guess that is just life for a 1yr old...speaking of he is now 14.5 months old, which is just incredible in itself. oh and yes he is liking the window....silly boy.
we have been just so blessed with having such a wonderful family, great friends, and a wonderful home to come home to!

christmas

christmas was busy but a lot of fun. it was nice because we were able to spend quality time with both sides of the family. jonah is at the age where he does not exactly get the whole opening of presents thang, but he sure is into the tissue paper. so i am pretty sure that we are about to open our very own toy store...omg!! seriously having a child who has a birthday near christmas makes for a lot of gifts at once....good grief.
