Go Fish!

Since I'm a big boy I get to stay up a little later than Ezekiel and play games! Mom and dad bought me the Candy Land game and I love it! We play a game every night and after each card that I pick I say, "Go Fish". Mom and dad were a little confused because we've never actually played "Go Fish" but I told them I learned it in Sunday school.
My favorite part of Candy Land is when I pick the special cards that either send you forward or backward. It doesn't matter to me, in fact I like Plumpy the best (he's way back at the beginning)! I also like to get stuck on the licorice and lose a turn. Mom and dad are wondering how long this sweet stage will last.

Fun Times!

I had the best day on Monday! My friend Jake came over to play all day long because his school was out for President's day. We colored, painted, played with cars and went down the slide. He even taught Ezekiel how to golf! We had a great time and I can't wait for him to come back and play!

Valentine Nana!

I'm a little late with my valentines this year but I did make some! 4 people are getting them...as soon as we get some stamps! I had lots of fun painting and glueing and decorating. I even did some fancy writing! We celebrated Nana's birthday on Valentine's day and I helped make the cake! I also helped her open all her gifts. (Did I mention I picked them out too?...I knew she would love Thomas the train stuff!) I just love birthdays, I'm already looking forward to my next one!



Thanks for the cool package Ma and Pa, we got it today!

3 years, 1 month

Mom used to have to bribe me to get my picture taken but this time I reminded her! Then it was my turn to be behind the camera instead of in front of it! Sometimes mom lets me practice taking pictures and then we have lots of fun looking at them on the computer. This time Dad was my subject. He was a pretty good model and took my direction well. I would tell him, "oops your eyes were closed, open them bigger and smile" and "oh that was a good one". Here are just a few of my shots.

Brrrrrr!

Another snow day! Daddy got to stay home and play with us all day. It was 9 degrees (-3 with windchill) but that didn't stop us from going out to play in the snow. Check out this cool icicle Dad and I found on our car!

Bedtime Stories...by yours truly

I love my little brother. After our baths I get to read him his bedtime stories. He has two favorite books: What do you say and a book of nursery rhymes. We've read them lots and lots so I know all the words. Mom's favorite to listen to is hush little baby don't say a word because although I know all of the sayings, I don't always get them in the right order so apparently it's pretty funny, especially when I use my sweet singing voice.

Year 3 in Review

SNOW!

We finally got some snow to play in! Last night it started snowing and Dad promised if it was still here in the morning then we would go play in it! Well, there wasn't much but enough to call school off so we bundled up and headed out! Ezekiel saw us getting ready so he went and grabbed his shoes, he didn't want to miss out on any fun!

I'm a little happy, can you tell? Look closely and you can see the itty bitty snowman Dad and I made!

Making Snow Angels!

I had to show Dad how to do it! (...or maybe it was the other way around...either way, here we are!) After we played for a while our little cheekies were getting quite red so we headed inside for some hot cocoa! I even got to add some marshmallows to mine!

"I'm stinky!"

Oh how I love baths! Lately I've been telling mom I'm stinky just so I can get in there and scrub up! Although Zekey isn't a huge fan of baths I love it when he gets in with me. He prefers to stand up but occassionaly he'll sit down and we'll splash eachother.

3 Years Old!

It's official now, I'm 3 years old. I woke up on my birthday and told mom I was going to eat a "Bear Cake" today. Then my friend Zander got to come over and played with me all morning! We had lots of fun, especially eating Cheerios together. After my nap Daddy came home and shortly after that we went to my favorite restaurant...The Thomas Restaurant (aka O'Naturals). They have a super cool Thomas the Train village set up and the food is pretty good too!

Then it was home to eat Bear Cake and open presents! I chose the bear's belly as my piece!
Believe it or not I was still excited to open gifts (even after all the Christmas presents) and before each one I asked, "Is this for me?" One time I said, "I'm going to open this and say 'Ooooohhh'". And I did! Everyone laughed. I even got to stay up extra late to play a little bit with my new toys. What a fun day!

Cool trick!

So I've had this bowl for over a year now and just discovered I can do this! I've been missing out on way too much fun!

Early Birthday!

When Ma and Pa were here they decided to throw me an early birthday party! Can't say no to that! Mom wanted to make me a bear cake because I often go by "Jonah Bear" and she knows that is not going to last too much longer but I insisted on a blue car cake. She tried talking me into it but I wouldn't budge. Reluctantly she made me one but on the day we celebrated I told my Pa that Ezekiel got a car cake on his birthday but I was going to get a "bear" cake. For some reason everyone laughed at that! Gotta keep that Mama on her toes! As you can see I did end up with the car cake and boy did I enjoy it! Rumor has it I'll get that bear cake too!

Ezekiel is wondering why I get cake and he's stuck with black-eyed peas and carrots!

35 months!

I'm a little behind considering my birthday is tomorrow...so I'm going to make this short and sweet.

Curious George!

For my (early) birthday Ma and Pa got me a membership to our Science Museum and they have Curious George there! I had so much fun checking out all the cool stuff! My favorite was the store and the cash register. They also had fun science stuff to do like roll balls down ramps, a dizzy tunnel and tons of other cool things to do. I can't wait to go back!
