pioneer day!

This weekend Jonah and I made a short trip to Cleveland (Oklahoma) to visit my family! We had so much fun, Jonah got to love on his Grammy and Pops and aunt and uncles and his great grandparents, he is such a loved little boy.

While we were in town it was Pioneer Day, a fall festival of sorts with booths and stuff for the kiddos, fair like food, and a parade. When I was little my parents would dress all us kids up in our western wear load us up in the covered wagon and let us strut our stuff in the kiddie parade...our favorite part of the day!

In fact, here is an old photo for your viewing pleasure...

circa 1993 (ish?)

We didn't stay for the parade this year, we left early with my mom and brother to head to tulsa and cheer my sister on in her regional cross country meet. She ran two miles in a little over 15 min...that;s way faster than I could do it, and Jonah was pretty proud of her!

lovin on auntie

he would have been happy like this most of the day, but no one's arms can handle it!

We came back Saturday night and spent Sunday hanging out with Jacob, and we all had fun! Here are some pictures from today.

Then we caught a little giggle from our sweet boy and wanted to share it! (press the play button to watch it! :))

First of all, we survived 3 1/2 days without daddy, it wasn't easy, but we made it...we really like having him around!

jonah turns 2 months!

Oh, and we got Jonah a johnny jump up this weekend )we're calling it a Jonah jump up) and he really liked it for a while. He doesn't jump so much as he turns in circles to get away from the puppies.

so sweet!

 After he got home we visited Arkansas to see Mel & Mac & MJ & Josh and the pumpkin patch! We had so much fun hanging out with them for the day, we packed a picnic lunch, went on a hayride and took lots of pictures! Jonah had fun too, he hung out in the carrier for a while and the stroller and cuddled with mommy and daddy. He was pretty good all day, until we pulled out the camera, every time we tried to take a picture he would pitch a fit, so disregard his attitude in the pictures and believe what I say, not what you see!

all the boys had so much fun...can't you tell?!

perhaps my favorite of the day!

he's getting so big...and handsome

i think that's at least a $40 pumpkin...yipes.

jonah's first baby pumpkin!

 This is really the first tradition that my family had growing up that we have shared with Jonah, it's been so fun, and I can't wait to do more things with him. I'm so grateful to my mom and dad for doing all sorts of things with us and the examples they are as parents, I'm so excited to pass all of those traditions on to baby Jonah,  I just love being his mommy!

8 weeks

I should probably stop labeling my posts by week since I'm not very good at doing this weekly.


Anywho...baby Jonah is growing like crazy! I can't believe he is almost 2 months old.

Not a whole lot has been going on around here, but we did take Jonah to a chiropractor this week and she adjusted his back and neck and hips and we have a totally new baby! He is so much less fussy and is very alert and so happy most of the time, it's wonderful! He also hasn't been spitting up as much since visiting Dr. Burpo...we like her a very lot.

Coming up this week Jacob is going to Dallas for a work training, he'll be gone Mon-Thurs. I think he's excited to go, but I know he's going to miss us a lot, we're going to miss him a lot too. But when he comes back we are going to go to the pumpkin patch with Mel and Mac and MJ and Josh and it's going to be marvelous...I love having things to look forward to.

Ok, I think that's enough rambling for now, in the meantime here are some recent pictures of our favorite little guy!

we love tummy time! thanks to the ball team for my play mat!

such a big boy!

happy happy baby
