Since summer's coming to an end (sniff!) I realized I have been quite the slacker with blogging. I will now attempt to provide you with my own version of "What I Did on My Summer Vacation". Try to keep up!
First off, I (Sarah) am the Children's Minister at our church. This means I was in charge of the infamous Vacation Bible School. The week was great; 23 kids and 2 accepting Christ! Since our theme was Beach Blast, we ended the week with a Water Day, complete with an 18-foot-tall water slide. Jonah had a great time!
He also tried on Aunt Kay's sunglasses. Cool guy!
We made a day trip to the Cockrell Butterfly Center at the Museum of Natural Science. Jonah really enjoyed seeing the butterflies (and trying to grab them)!
See the little bowl in the corner of the cage? Those would be Cheerios, also known as baby magnets. I seriously think my child has a built-in radar for finding those things!
"Ooooh!!"
Jeremy was a little startled...
I'm usually the photographer but every now and then Mommy sneaks in a picture!
Jeremy was trying to get this butterfly to crawl on his head. I think Jonah was working on his "smolder."
This is why Jeremy loves being home in the summer!
The next couple of pics were from my brother's house. We came over July 3rd to play in the kiddie pool and the slip 'n' slide.
These are some of Jonah's big boy p.j.'s. He looks SO old!!
Our city has installed a few splash pads around town. We tried one out with a family from our church. Jonah had a great time playing in the water, as did Daddy.
Jonah also got to meet Daddy's Grandpa this summer. We're so glad we got to spend some time with him!
Such a cool dude!
Someone loves his blueberries!
He loves any kind of guitar! Here's Uncle Stephen (and Jonah's oldest cousin) showing him how to rock. Let's hope he ends up cooler than Rivers Cuomo! : )
A friend of ours is a firefighter with HFD. He invited us to tour the station and see the trucks. Jonah had so much fun seeing everything. I think we need to go back now, though, since he's since learned to make engine sounds whenever he sees a truck or a wheel!
Jonah telling Justin about the fire engine:
Future firefighter?
These last ones are just random ones taken in the backyard with the sprinkler. This kid LOVES the water!! I don't know what we'll do when it gets too cool!
So that's our summer in a nutshell. Now I've got to get things ready for Jonah's FIRST BIRTHDAY!! I still cannot believe he will be 1 year old on Saturday! Expect an update soon!
