Funny

My Brother and his wife just had a baby yesterday. They added a second little girl to their family. Her name is Ellia Naomi. She had a few problems at birth and is in the NICU for a couple of days, so I don't have a picture yet of her. Her big sister Sophie (2 1/2) is already protective of her little sister. It just reminded me of when Sam was born. This is the face we got when Jonah met his new brother. Really I think Jonah would have been ok to leave him at the hospital. It always makes me laugh!

Mother's Day Prep

I asked Jonah what he was going to get for me for Mother's day. He thought about it for awhile and decided he would get me an Indiana Jones Lego set. I asked him if I could play with it all by myself. He thought about that too and thought maybe he would need to "help" me play with it. Isn't he sweet!

Piano Competition

Bekah participated in a piano competition last week. She did really well! She scored a 1! She really worked hard practicing for this and I am proud of her. She had to have her piece memorized, play for a judge, and take a theory test. The judge has the music and writes down comments (mostly positive and encouraging ways to improve). She didn't even seem nervous!

Indulgent

I hardly ever do something for myself that I would call indulgent. BUT today I did. I saw a commercial that Jerry Seinfeld is coming to town and I said I AM GOING! He was in Lincoln and I wanted to go so bad, I didn't buy tickets because we were poor students. I regretted it and made a promise to myself that next time I would go. I am so excited! I barely got tickets, they were almost sold out, But I DID get some. Can't wait!!

Yummier Than Squid Food

Tonight for supper I made a Sandwich with pizza dough. You just put the meat and cheese in and fold it over and bake it. Tonight I put Turkey meat with pepperoni and chipotle cheddar cheese. I was a little iffy on the cheese not knowing if it would pass the "Jonah" test. He is so picky, he won't eat "mixed up" foods like casseroles or soups and refuses any chips with "grass" on them. He studied it for a while. Then he asked me;

"Mom, what do Squids eat?"

"Ahhhh-Fish?"

"This kind of sandwich is yummier than squid food!!!"

I'm taking it as a compliment.

Guess Who's Six?

Can't believe it, Happy Birthday Jonah! He's a really great kid and a joy to have around. He keeps us laughing everyday.

Day at the Park

Fun twirly thing. This was a real crowd pleaser, there were always tons of kids on this!

Sam on the rock wall.

Jonah and the whale. You may have noticed the reimergence of the Nemo hat. Jonah LOVES his Nemo hat. It is getting a little bit small, don't know what we will do when he outgrows it.

Bekah and the Gorilla. This park is near the zoo so there is a definite animal theme.

Jonah on the rock wall. They really had fun on this.
