Hair cuts, lawnmowers and new backyard

Well, it's been another busy month for us. But as you can see from the picture, Jonah is able to relax through it all! (Elmo chair, feet up on his Elmo truck, watching Elmo - guess who he likes?!?) We finally got our backyard fixed up and are all ready for the summer. We got a new flower bed and some artificial grass - which everyone loves. Jonah and Gracie are huge fans and even Kaiko has decided to enjoy the grass, though she wouldn't want me to let anyone know. We were able to get Jonah a cute little sandbox from Craigslist for only ten dollars!! He loves sitting around it and playing in the sand, but can't stand having sand stuck to his hands. Yesterday he got a cute little lawn mower - so he is now in charge of keeping the grass in line. Between doctors appointments and running all sorts of errands, he's able to begin enjoying his spring.


His new mower at work
He wouldn't stand still so I could get a picture of him, so they're all action shots!
He recently decided he loves to line up all of his trains, cars or just toys in general. And he's very particular about what order they need to be in - funny!
He's also discovered how to climb up onto EVERYTHING!! We found him up in the chair lining up his trains before bed time.
Grandma Mason gave him his first professional haircut. I've been doing all the cutting so far, which basically means I hack a piece off as he walks by and hope it looks ok when we're done!
What a big boy!!
Yay - our new grass!
Grass and new flowerbed, with real flowers!
I snuck over and took a picture of the mud pit before they laid down the turf.
His "new" turtle sandbox - before we put the sand in it and moved it outside. Everyone was interested in it when we brought it home. Jonah would play in it with his toys, and Gracie and Kaiko would sniff it and jump in and out of it!
