Jonathan turned 2 years old in December, and he is talking A LOT! It is so fun to just watch him. He gets excited about the littlest things, and a lot of the time he is the happiest kid I have ever seen! He absolutely loves going to the beach, always wants to go see his "papas" and "Chull". He's nervous around Matt, but he's fine as long as he can keep an eye on him! I'm sure by the time harvest comes around, Jonathan will want to be on that combine riding with him. :) He also really loves church. He's bonded with quite a few people there and is always excited to go see them.
He is learning a lot about where he lives, and about different animals too. I got him some flash cards with wild animals on them; we go thru them and he can tell me what a bunch of them are. One of his favorite animals is the manatee, don't ask me why! But he also knows bobcat, snake, mouse (actually kangaroo rat, but I'm letting that slide lol), deer, skunk, wolf, otter, chipmunk, whale, alligator, beaver, bear, blue marlin, and cougar! (And those are just from the flashcards, there are many other animals that he knows that aren't included in the flashcards!) I go through a lot of things with Jonathan and I think its just amazing how much he learns, and just how much it sinks in so that he remembers it. He is such a smart kid! Not to brag or anything ;)
Jonathan got his hair cut about 2 weeks ago; it was getting so long and unmanageable lol. But I took him to the barber, and told him not to give him a buzz cut, and guess what he got? A buzz cut! I was not very happy, but his hair will grow out, which I'm waiting for haha... then we'll just go somewhere else... or I'll try my hand at cutting it!
Ok, I will TRY(!!!) to keep this updated more often! :) The picture below is not the most current one, it was taken in early January when we went to the beach with Kathy (Nathans mom). It is however the most current one on my computer!

Whoa! You're back! And your blog looks like my book blog now. And all kids love manatees! I had to teach about them to some kindergarteners the other week and they were all enthralled. I think it's because they're so unique looking.
OH, I'm so happy you're back to blogging!! I love hearing stories about J! I also love that picture. Um, quick question, you have a blog list that makes it look like you coupon. Do you? If you do, can you help me? I want to get started but I don't know how. I miss you so much! I love you!
Thanks Sharlee :) Yes, I have started couponing...its great. I've only been doing that for a month, and its saved me a TON of money! You have a great blog for Boise (I read it too!) To start just go to www.fabulesslyfrugal.com She is very local to Boise and always has all the deals up on her blog. But hers is great esp if your in Boise, because it even tells you EXACTLY what store to get the best deal at, (ie, ustick and 5mile Albertsons). I can ALWAYS help you more if you want it (although the blog just basically tells you what to do and has links to get the printable coupons). Also another thing you can find on her blog are deals for the newspaper, which if you decide to become more serious, you will want more than one newspaper for the inserts and the double coupons and stuff. There aren't as good deals here as there are there in Boise for newspapers! Ok, I am probably missing some some stuff, but you can always ask me if you have questions. Love you and miss you too! :)
