Jonas, you have a package!

Oh, how I love birthday presents, it's music to my ears when I hear daddy or mommy say "Jonas, you have a package!". I am still getting birthday presents, and it's not even my birthday! Yesterday I got a Curious George - "Beach Discovery" game from my friend Tommy in Atlanta. Oh how I love the soothing sounds of the beach. Mommy and daddy finally broke out the video camera after 30 straight minutes of this...

I like da pool!

The pool and I have always had a hate-hate relationship. I always hate getting into the cold water, but after a while I get used to it, and then I hate getting out.

But I think mommy and daddy have found a tool to help the first part of the relationship. My new "Inner Tube Swim Suit".

Prior to my new swim suit, let's just say, I lacked confidence in the pool. I would always have to hold on to mommy or daddy really, really tight, and would rarely let go, there was some screaming and yelling involved, but now the pool is sooooooo much fun! I am free to swim where ever I want to go. Daddy and I have races. It's great! Here are a few pictures:




And I know how everyone likes the videos, so here are a few of my pool time.

Jumping into the pool practice (still working on this one):

Paradise Falls or BUST!

For my third birthday, my mommy and daddy themed my birthday party around my favorite movie, 'Up'. I didn't see any snipes or talking dogs...but I did have my very own house held up by lots and lots of balloons! And it tasted good too! Since I couldn't celebrate with my family and friends in Atlanta, we celebrated with mommy's work friends.





They even provided a piñata!






Who knew I was so good at hitting things with a big stick??? (yes, daddy...that's rhetorical.)

Party in a Wagon

We celebrated our nation's independance with a picnic and fireworks display in a neighboring city. Our city's fireworks display was cancelled due to inadequate city funding - probably a wise choice given our state's economic condition. Anywho...HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

Father's Day Weekend - Sunday

On Sunday, we took daddy to a champagne breakfast, at our hotel. It was really good!

Oh, and here are a few views from our hotel.





Then, we took daddy around to do some site seeing. We went to see the famous Point Cabrillo light house.



The water was really blue, like Carribean blue. The views were okay, but...






(Mommy likes living on the edge!)

...I was much more interested in playing with the cool gravel rocks they had there!

Father's Day Weekend - Saturday

For Father's Day, Mommy and I decided to take Daddy up to Mendocino, CA. We had a great time! On Saturday, we had a nice drive up to Mendocino, and went out to dinner. After dinner, we rushed back to the hotel to build a fire in the fireplace (yes, a fire, all you guys in the hot south) and watch the sunset.



Everyone got their favorite drink.



And I was able to get some bird chasing in.



But after the sun went down, the party didn't stop! Oh no! Then it was time for smores!



I wasn't too sure of these little yummy snacks at first, but soon realized what I was missing.



After the sun went down, it was much too cold to be outside, so we stayed in by the fire and enjoyed our yummy treats!

BIG TV!!!

On Friday mommy and daddy said they were going to take me to see a movie at the movie theater. I didn't know what that meant, but I soon found out! Movie theater means Big TV! Once I saw that big TV I couldn't stop from smiling. Imagine my suprise when one of my favorite cast of characters came on the screen, the guys from Toy Story.



I really enjoyed Toy Story 3. Now, Mommy and Daddy always ask what my favorite movie is, and I always yell "3!".



Now, I will be able to tell the story of the first time I saw a movie, and a child's ticket was only $7.75 - Oh the good old days...
