Why I love my husband....

Cause he plays with his kids. He's an amazing Dad. He's so patient and thoroughly enjoys spending time with Jonah and Alaina.

What?

Has been happening with us? It's been awhile, as usual, since I last blogged, 3 weeks to be exact. So, nothing much is really going on. I take Alaina to school everyday, wait for her to get off the bus in the afternoon, and in between I'm chasing a little boy around the house while trying to clean up--doesn't work very well, but at least I try. Alaina still loves school-I think she really likes the routine of it. She is VERY tired when she gets home, so we try to have DOWN time every day after school. She's working on controlling her emotions when she is overly tired. (a little side-note: I have NO :) idea where she gets that little problem! ) Jonah is BUSY, BUSY, BUSY! Boys take WAY MORE energy than girls, at this age anyway. I love it though, he's so fun, so full of laughter. He LOVES to laugh, which makes me laugh, and I hear, from a very reliable source, that laughter is good for your health. Jonah is keeping me healthy. Here are some recent pics of my good looking kiddos.

No picture this time, just a mom totally in love with her little boy. We went for a 4wheeler ride yesterday and stopped at the river to throw rocks. He'd pick up a rock and throw it in, grunting every time like it was something really hard and tough to do. He conquered the rock throwing every time! :) Today he picked up a stick and was splashing it in a puddle, grunting every time he hit the water. When Jesse gets home he runs toward him laughing and growling, ready to wrestle with Daddy. I am the mother of a TRUE LITTLE BOY. I am blessed because not only is he "tough", but he loves to be snuggly with mom. Earlier today we were watching cars, he was sitting in my lap with his head leaning on my chest, just watching the TV. I relish every minute with him, and I melt every time he smiles at me, hugs me, snuggles me, or tries to tackle me down, while grunting.
