I just had to start out with this shot! One of our boys decided to try climbing into an excersaucer, and fell in! This is one of my favorite pictures!
Charlie, Jon & I love going on bicycle rides on the weekends now that the temp is dropping! Jon gets all excited, and climbs right into his trailer! If we don't offer, Jon will come up to one or both of us & say "let's go on a bike ride!) These are pictures from 2 weekends ago.



You'd think that this would be a super fast slide. It's not! Jon's shoes kind of kept him from going very fast! As you can see, he loved it anyway!


Those are some steep stairs to climb! Jon loves being pushed on the swing! He doesn't yet know how to pump with his legs, but we're working on it!

Jon decides that this is the perfect time to play with the car that he brought along for the ride!

Ready to roll!

Of course, we weren't quite ready to head back home after this stop! We ended up in a different park a few miles away after this! By the time we got, we had been about 16 miles! It's not non-stop, since we have to let Jon get out to stretch, play, & potty every once in a while! Plus, we always have a few snacks stashed in the trailer!

Jon's class made a bus snack! They were all proud of their works of art!

Monkey boy at work! Slinging beads! Who knew beads could be so much fun?!?
Jon's turn at being Leader of the day! He was so proud!


New things to love! Yes, that's a pumpkin! What you don't see is Jon's new green chair next to him!


This has been an interesting week!

Jon was sick with a virus last week, but is feeling much better now. Unfortunately, he couldn't get a flu shot until the fever was gone. He got his on Tuesday. It's a good thing he got it then. It turns out that pediatric flu shots are in short supply. Only those that are high risk can get one. Since Jon has had so many problems with pnumonia, he was on the short list.

His appetite is back too! Yesterday, he ate 2 big plates of mac & cheese at the day care before going to the school, where it was chicken nugget day!

Charlie has been sick this week. Don't really know what it is, other than it's a nasty virus. (Different than Jon's, based on completely different symptoms.) He's starting to feel better, though.

Good thing too. He is going to be with Jon this weekend, while I jet off to Phoenix for Robert's graduation! They are both looking forwards to some fun Daddy/son time together!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Labor Day Weekend
It was a great weekend to spend together as a family! Each day had something special going on, whether it was a road trip, time at the park, or a day at the beach.

We decided it time to take Jon to go see the zebras again!
Jon helped Daddy drive our new van! (This is only allowed when we are at the Wildlife Ranch.)
Don't ever put the bag of food in your lap!
The zebras just might grab it! This zebra ate the entire thing, bag & all! I don't know about you, but I don't want any animals grabbing for anything in my lap!

Jon thinks the "zebra food" is good enough to eat! Luckily, there's nothing too gross in them!
Zebras anyone?

The zebras get pretty bold! They know what they want, and let you know it!

Jon is talking about the zebras in this shot, he's not shocked or scared! It's the zebra's expression I love!

What a perfect Labor Day! We spent the day with David, Li, & Matthew in Galveston. The weather was perfect!

Getting down & dirty with the Tonka truck!




Nothing like a refreshing popsicle!

Jon usually will stop playing, and come running over to me, when he sees me coming. This was a rare shot of him playing with the shopping cart! (Obviously posing for Mommy!)

The day care center had an end of summer party!

As you can, Jon is big help with the yard work! Daddy just couldn't get the lawn done without him!






Well, I'll try to get more postings for everyone to see! Now that I have dumped dial-up, I can finally get pictures to load! Once I get the latest pictures on the computer, I'll have more to post!
