Hot, Summer Days!!

Jonas LOVES playing in his pool!

It's a great day for a walk at Hopelands Gardens

Jonas loves looking for the fish & ducks!
Enjoying the pretty things!

Jonas really liked being by the reflection pool & the surrounding fountains!

Running around...

We have a lot of fun

running around the tall pine trees in the back yard.

He giggles when I run around the tree and hide from him!

I LOVE his giggles!

Jonas wanted Daddy to race! Who will win?!

Jonas won!!

It was a fun day in the yard.

Loving the trucks... and more!

Jonas just loved all the big trucks had to offer!

Even the "teeth"!

I can't believe he made it down this. He attempted

to walk up the "steps" twice- backing down

as kids climbed over him.

He wanted to slide so bad

that he finally climbed up...
... and slid down!

Fun!!

Showing off his badge after touring the ambulance!

"Touch a Truck" ... A BIG hit!

We went with some good friends of ours to the "Touch a Truck"

at the park in town. They had all kinds of trucks & big vehicles!

Jonas and Mark loved sitting up in the driver's seat!

He's almost as tall as the tire!!

He's going to be great at mowing the lawn when he grows up...

Or he'll love the four wheelers like his Daddy & Mommy!

All smiles here... he was ready to drive off...

good thing there's no key!!

The New House : -)

Jonas loves his new house!

Checking out the doorbell!

Yes, the mailbox is ... inside!

"Sandwich, Mommy??"

"Come sit down & join me!"

He loves his new house!!

No nap today?

This was one of those days when he was SO TIRED...

he figured he wasn't going to take a nap.

It happens sometimes...

But not today!

Sweet dreams, my sweet heart!

He loves all of his animals too!

Richardson's Lake fun!

Ready, set, slide!!
He was scared to swim the first time this year...
now we have a hard time getting him out!

Picture fun!

Mark put the crown molding up in the living room

while we were at a party the other day! Love him & love it!!

Fun at the Fire Department! July 8th, 2009

Jonas climbing up in the back seat... and the front!

Jonas had so much fun with his friends at the

fire department yesterday!

They were able to look through the window

at the trucks before we went out to see them.
