New Haircuts!!
Jonah always looks older when I give him a new haircut...makes me so sad to think that he's still growing and isn't staying the sweet little bundle of joy I remember bringing home from the hospital 5 1/2 years ago.
How has he gone from this:

to this:

to this??

And then there's "Bug".

She won't stop growing either :(

We Made Cookies Yesterday...
I love it when I'm in the mood to do whatever my children ask me to do (which sadly doesn't happen too often). Since Jonah didn't have school on Monday (Martin Luther King Jr. Day), Jonah wanted to make cookies, take them to Danny at work, and surprise him. The cookies, however, never ended up leaving the house. It ended up snowing outside and Allix has a lingering cough that I didn't want to make worse. Also, I really really dislike driving in snow...why do I live in Utah again??

But, daddy was surprised when he saw the sweet cookies after he got home :) Hopefully another day we'll try and surprise him with something else at work ;)
P.S. Please don't pay any attention to the little girl giving the "bird" to the camera.

School can really wipe a kid out!!
I put his sister down to take a nap and heard him playing under our bed. Minutes later, the sounds were gone. I thought I would go check it out and this is what I found.....

I guess he had too much fun at school today :)

4 yr. & 18 mo. Check Ups Today
So today we had Jonah's 4 yr check-up (better late than never) and Alli's 18 mo check-up. It was more convenient to have just one visit for both of them. Jonah really liked the Dr. because he was making him stand on one leg at a time, put his arms out and close his eyes to make sure he could keep his balance, hop on one foot at a time, and talk like a monkey.
Well, the verdict is that Jonah is still a "little" dude. He's in the 25% on everything. Sorry buddy! I'm pretty sure those genes came from me.
My already 4 year old boy is:
39" tall (or short, however you look at it) and 35.1 lbs.
Allix, on the other hand, wasn't all that crazy about the doctor. Come to think of it, she's not too crazy about anybody she meets. So just a little FYI, when you meet my "sweetheart", don't think it's you. It's just how she looks at everyone. If looks could kill, she would be the only one alive. But, I would never give her up for anything.
Allix (a.k.a. "Bug") is:
30" tall and 21.11 lbs.
Everything was going really well, until the shots came in. I always knew Jonah was strong, but I was greatly mistaken on how powerful that "little" man is! First it took me a couple minutes to get him semi-calmed down. Then as soon as I would try to lay him on the table he would FLIP OUT!! He honestly was never this bad at getting shots before. I had no idea what had come over this sweet little boy. The nurse and I had to put all our weight on him just to hold him still. To make matters worse, as I was holding his tiny hands in mine, his tear filled eyes looked into mine and said "Please mommy, don't do this." Then tears started welling up in my eyes too. I didn't want to do this to him. If I had it my way, these "shots" would be in some kind of candy form. I'm sure there are other mothers out there that feel the same way, but I HATE it when my kids have to get their immunizations. I am always so emotional when it comes to my children feeling any kind of pain.
Allix was next and she, of course, didn't know what was coming. Then she gets stuck by the needle. Their reactions are always a little delayed, she looks at me like "what the heck was that??" and then starts crying, along with me and Jonah. So here we are, the nurse has left the room, Jonah, Allix and I are sobbing and holding each other. That's also the time when i decided that we are never doing this again..............until next time.
At least Jonah doesn't need to get any more until he's 11. Won't he be so excited!!
As we left the room, the nurse offered the kids a sticker. Jonah looked at them for a minute, still sniffling after the meltdown, and found an.........."IRON MAN!" sticker!
Thank you Iron Man!! You have given joy, hope, and instant amnesia to my son! Everything was all forgotten in an instant because Jonah saw the infamous Iron Man! Great! Now let's go have a fun filled day at IKEA!
Gotta love my babies!!

Mom's Family Pictures
Reason to SMILE #2 & 3 of 365
Ok, so I know I wanted to post something every single day that my kids do to make me smile, but going out of town for a family reunion for a week doesn't help.
Well, we're back and we had so much fun with everyone! I'll be posting some pictures of it soon. It was very sad leaving everyone. Especially the ones that we don't see all the time because they live in either Washington, New Mexico, or Ohio ;( But we love you ALL and can't wait till the next time we get to be together again!!
Back to the main point for this post, Reason #2: SPIT!
Jonah's cousin Jake plays on a bowling league and Tara (Jake's step-mom) had asked if Jonah would like to sub today. Of course he said "YES!!" Well, like always, I can always count on myself running late and so we were leaving the house in such a hurry I totally forgot to do Jonah's hair. Oh well, I guess I can just lick my fingers and try to spike his hair. So I did. As soon as I put my fingers in Jonah's hair, he looks at me with this DISGUSTED expression on his face and says, "Did you just SPIT on me?!"
Of course the SPIT didn't work very well, but it ended up making me smile the rest of the day!
Reason #3: WOODY!
The other day Jonah was playing with his little friends in our living room. They were having so much fun & sharing their toys. They were passing them around every few minutes. Jonah's toy of choice was his favorite Sheriff Woody doll from Toy Story. I was just starting to think how proud I am that he's FINALLY sharing his toys. As soon as the thought came into my head Jonah yells out, "WHO WANTS TO PLAY WITH MY WOODY?!"
Not so sure I want him sharing ALL his "toys". ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONAH!!
My Babies!!
Some of my own...
I thought I would post some of my own child as I don't have a separate blog for my family...ha ha...it's been a while since I have done that. Anyways, Danny and I went to Beus Pond (not sure if that's how you spell it) yesterday to let Jonah feed the ducks. He had so much fun and I tried to find spots that would be good to do pictures. Well, here's Jonah sleeping (supposedly) on the log.



I really do feel so blessed to have such a great child!! I LOVE HIM SO SO MUCH!! Thanks for everything you've given me Jonah! XOXOXOX.....
Braxton & Bailey...So stinkin' cute!!
I had a blast with my great friend Mindy (also a photographer), and her two darling children, a couple weeks ago. She taught me so much and I can't thank her enough for everything she's done for me! Thank you so much Mindy!! I love ya!! Here are Bailey, Braxton, and Jonah (my boy). We for sure need to get together again. :-) You can visit her website at www.mindyyoungphotography.com. She's AMAZING!!



Boating Fun!!
We had so much fun boating the other day! The kids were great and they loved it!
I think Brinley looks so grown up in this picture, I love it!


Jonah had alot of fun tubing with Danny. He was smiling and laughing the whole time because he could feel the bumps under the tube on his feet. He kept saying "Woah!"

These two are the bestest of friends! Too bad they can't get married that would be kinda wrong! But they're great cousins!
