Preview of Jonah

My absolute favorite series of shots. Jonah was trying hard to smile and say cheese, while waving at the train passing by!! I love his "toothy" grin!!


Rawr!

Here's a little preview of some photos we took of Jonah last weekend for his "3 year old" photos. I still have to edit them, but it's fun to take a little peek. They turned out so cute!

dress up fun

We've had a pretty cold winter, so on this day Jonah really wanted to go outside and play but I had told him it was too cold. So he put on his rainboots, his fireman jacket and hat and asked if he could go out now! How could I say no to that! So he went out and dug in the dirt with his plastic ax, like all firefighters!!


Birch Aquarium

We finally took the boys to see the Birch Aquarium. We've been planning to go out there for quite a while. During the month of February, all the museums are half price. So we took advantage of the savings and headed out. It was really fun. It was pretty small, but that was good for the boys. They had a lot of fun looking at all the neat fish, jellyfish and sea horses.

Henry liked all the shiny fish.

I love this photo. This is an exhibit of a kelp bed. It actually simulates waves crashing at the top so the fish and plants move around in the water. The wall was probably 10 feet tall. They boys had a lot of fun getting close to all the fish swimming around.

My little fishies!

This was a funny little eel that buried itself in the sand. It was really small and Jonah thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen!

Shark bait!

The shark exhibit was pretty neat. The sharks were all pretty small, but still neat.

Admiring a shark

This tiny submarine was on exhibit on the way in. Jonah was convinced it was a helicopter. It took a lot of explaining before he would finally accept that it went under water!

Tea Time

Tea Time! The boys got a cute tea set from Grandma for Christmas and they love playing tea. So we got out a "picnic blanket" and set everything up and ate our snacks together. The boys were so excited that I would get out "real" food!! They were so cute! Jonah enjoyed serving everyone and Henry had fun using the utensils!



Valentines Day

We had a fun Valentines Day this year! Dan and I decided to hide their goodies with a ribbon trail leading them to it. It took Jonah a few minutes to figure it out but once he did, there was no stopping him! By the time Henry figured out what was going on, Jonah had already uncovered their surprise - The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD.
