At the Park

Ok, so it's at the elementary school, but to the kids it was a park. Everybody loved the climbing dome, and there are a few pics of kids on it in here. Let me just say that it's much easier to climb this thing without carrying a two year old in your arms. Being young and more limber helps too.

Seth playing with Lucy, it's just fun to get pictures of him. : )

And the boys doing the monkey bars. Alex was very determined to do all of them on his own. *sigh* They grow up so fast.

Fun at the Joneses

Alot of the Jones family got together a couple weekends ago to say goodbye to Calli. It was alot of fun, and really good to see family. We have definitely enjoyed Seth and Brette being in Texas and getting to see them more frequently. Jo is getting more familiar with them and has really started liking Brette quite a bit. So, here is a picture of Brette and Riah (who also really likes Brette!)

Of course we had to get a picture of the two girls together.

And since I am doing the blog, of course i have to show off my adorable pumpkin all covered in Pooh. She LOVES this jacket. She's very passionate about stuff, she either loves something soooooooo much or she won't have anything to do with it.

And here is Riah feeding Lucy acorns. Poor thing, Seth had just been saying how she didn't like them but Riah was giving them to her so she went ahead and ate them. You could tell she didn't enjoy it though.

And one more of a larger group. Grand kids playing with Seth's face and what-not. He is such a good sport. I love my brothers!

For those of you who don't know this, Jo LOVES smelling things, especially candles. A couple of weeks ago we met up with Josh's parents at a Cracker Barrel out in Baytown. Jo was wandering around the store part and found a penguin toy that danced and decided to carry it around with her. Shortly after that we started smelling the candles (which isn't as good of a thing to do when you are pregnant, let me tell you) anywho, so she found an area where they had non-breakable little candles so that she could smell them on her own (conveniently located near the floor so she could easily get to them) Well, being the little mommy that she is, she decided to help the penguin smell them like I had just been doing with her and the fragile candles. It was so cute I had to get a video of it. So, without further ado, the video:

She has even more hair!

Josalyn's hair is actually long enough to do stuff with, so here are a few pics with her hair up. In case you can't tell I am really excited about this. Oh, and there is a random picture of her hair on a day that it was super curly. Sorry, the only good ones I have of that, she is in the tub.

Kittens!

We recently had three additions to our apartment complex cat population. We were kind of hoping the cute little calico would stick around, but it didn't. Two quickly ran off and the third we got to play with for a couple weeks before it too disappeared. To say that Jo loved them would be an extreme understatement. Here is a picture of her right after I set it on her lap. In case you can't tell, that is her "I am insanely excited" face.

I feel a little bad the kittens ran off, mostly due to the fact that I think it was because of my daughter. She tried to be very careful, but thy are pretty big to her so it was a little awkward for her to hold them. We will, in a few months, have a few more to play with (at least that is usually how it goes, so Jo can have that to look forward to.

She has hair!!!

Jo finally has enough hair to put in pigtails!!!! This was taken a couple months ago, so it is much longer now, but I haven't gotten any recent pictures onto the computer yet, maybe later this week.

Most of the Jones' got together in August for a weekend, it was a lot of fun. Seth and Brette brought their dog, Lucy, and showed the little kids how they could get her to do tricks for treats. Calli got the bright idea of doing the same thing with the little tots and teddy grahams. This shows just Moriah, but all of them were really funny.
