Jonas

Jonas and I have been having fun playing around lately. Stella really only sleeps well after a car ride so we take advantage of our time and pack in the fun.

 He had a little help up and as you can see has a death grip on the branch.
 I'm not scarred..he he now get me down.
 The biggest rock in the world!
 Who says you can't dance outdoors.
 Oh my back.
 Careful.
 Lovin my little guy.
 What's going on down there?
Gathering ammo.

Wichita Vacation

We took a little vacation to Wichita a few weeks ago and had so much fun relaxing and enjoying ourselves. Uncle Jeff surprised us and was able to meet us down there and join in on the festivities and have a little bonding time with Jonas. This in turn gave his momma's some free time because he pretty much disappeared once Jeff got there. They went swimming and stayed in the "man room" all weekend when we weren't visiting the sights. Our friend Sue met us as the zoo and hung out for the day and had the chance to experience the kid side of things. On the way home we had the opportunity to have dinner with Uncle Jared and his girlfriend. We loved having an extra day with Momma and getting some good family time in.
 Hey, Jonas is gone and guess who's in CHARGE! 
 Wouldn't it be great if there really were two of me?
 He had him eating out of the palm of his hand...and the goose too.
 My beautiful momma.
 These sheep went CRAZY when they saw someone ready to get them food. Jonas got to put the money in but they were trying to eat out of the machine before we could even get the food out and they tried to surround and concur  once we got it out. Jonas was a little intimidated to say the least.
 Sue and I...so glad we had a chance to talk.
 Such an innocent moment, I love capturing these.
 Jonas wanted to try this with Poet when we got home.
 Who are these funny guys?
 Stella and her new friend.
 There's a reason why we took our pictures by the apes.
 You just have to love us...monkey and all.
 What do you mean you want a pink barbie car, a pink pony, and a pink dress for Christmas?
 Don't worry, we all made it out of the zoo and not behind any cages...freedom!
 The thinkers of the group had fun trying to figure out all the puzzles at the science museum.
 Trying to corral a tornado.
 We're not scarred of a squid...we laugh in the grasp of his tentacles.
 The next thing I would like to talk about is the science of making me happy.
 Look at me mastering this fish riding.
 Trying to catch a ride.
 If you're happy and you know it clap your hands.

Debbie's Retirement Party

We were fortunate enough to celebrate Debbie's retirement from SRS after 43 years. I think that it's absolutely amazing to have that many years of service with one employer. It's hard to put my mind around the fact that she worked in the same place longer than I've been alive. I thought I was doing good with 16 years of service and now I start over with my new career that I'm lucky enough to have. I'm so proud of her and wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors (by the way, can you babysit....;) Enjoy!

 Beautiful!
Working on her future cheerleader moves.
