Last Day of School (Daycare)

Friday was the last day of daycare (or as we often refer to it "school") for the boys. I remembered on the way out the door that I would probably like to get a picture.  Jonas would not stand still and charged towards the camera every time, so there is no one great shot.  However, you can see how much the boys have changed and grown since last August. We are thankful for such kind and caring people that have watched over them for the past year.  Now, let summer begin!

Grumpy Cowboys

Last week was Cowboy Day at daycare.  Apparently early in the morning is not the time to try and get a good picture.  At least one person is smiling in each picture..

 

School's Out for Summer!

Both Phin and I are officially done with school (although Phin will go back for the middle of the summer).  We've already had a great start to June.  Here are some pictures of fun inside and out.  The boys love a pop-up Thomas the Tank Engine that one of Matt's coworkers found for them.  It is basically like a giant train shaped tent/tunnel.

 

The Farm

As the school year is approaching its end, I am finally going to have a couple of free minutes (I hope) to keep the blog up to date!  At the end of May, we got a visit from Grammy and Papa.  One of the things we did was visit a local farm where you can pet the animals!  Both boys had a good time.  But Jonas, our animal lover, for sure had a blast!

Waving to a llama

This little pregnant goat was just the right size for Jonas to brush.

This sheep got a double brushing

 

Robin

Jonas loves animals very much.  Yesterday, he saw a robin outside and immediately went after it.  The robin just kept hoping, so Jonas just kept following it.  Soon Phin joined in the pursuit too.  Every little bit Jonas would stop and sign "bird" to it, before continuing to try and get closer.

Springtime Outside

We've been excited to spend more and more time outside this spring as the weather gets warmer.

First, the boys enjoyed a Jonas's bubble machine from Uncle Joey.

Boys love their sticks!

This picture just amazes me at how old Phin looks.

Giving a piece of his stick to his brother.

Jonas loves his kitties and kept going to the window to say hello to them.

Both boys were very excited about this slow moving train near our house.  Jonas walked more than two blocks on his own in excitement to see it. (Although he threw a huge tantrum when we got close and I made him stop from getting any closer)

Grandpa's Visit

Grandpa came to town for a convention but was able to join us a day earlier for some beautiful weather and fun in the park!
