Jonah to the rescue!

Is this the cutest little fireman you ever saw? Jonah came to visit last night and I decided to try this on him. It is a size 18 months. Just a little snug but he still makes one handsome fireman.
Just had to show him off one more time.
Today, Amara and Aidan were playing house. Amara kept trying to teach Aidan to cook but he wouldn't pay attention. She kept saying, "Aidan, you're never going to learn to cook if you don't watch!" She was using her teacher voice. She learned that in Kindergarten.Aidan didn't last long but Amara cooked for an hour.

Thursday blessings

Thursday I got to play with Jonah all day and he got to spend the night so his mom and dad could go out on a date. We went to Tucson and Nogales with him on Friday. Grandpa found Jonah a new pacifier that was huge. He loved it!! We met up with Steph and Joe for a late dinner. Jonah was so glad to see them. He just loved and loved on them. Jonah and I got caught in a monsoon and lightning hit a power pole so the lights went out for a few hours at the strip mall where we were shopping. We were in JC Penny which didn't have any windows. The sales staff were evacuating every one out of the store by cell phone light. I ofcourse am at the very back of the store and am trying to push a stroller around racks I can't see. Jonah did not like that at all. He did like the rain though.
Just a picture from Sunday morning of Adria and Amara sleeping in

Yeah Sunday!

Looking for the juciest.
Caleb is not interested in fishing.
Uncle Michael with his lucky pole.
Adria going for the shortcut. Victory!!!This won't scare the fish away. The girl in orange is not ours. You gotta know her dad's not too happy with them right now.

Well the kids spent the night Saturday so their Mom and Dad could get away for their third anniversary. We spent the morning getting around by playing clothing store, beauty parlor, restaurant, and ofcourse a bus ride to church. After church Jim took Adria and Amara fishing. Leanna and Caleb, and Mike went also. Adria and Amara both caught a fish. I worked around the house all day trying to get ready for Jonah's first birthday. Aidan helped me. I didn't get as much done as I had planned. I should have gone fishing.

It was a long day.

Aidan is so funny! He loves to play with Grandma. Today we played puzzles, which he is very good at, and then we played horses. He got the pretty fluffy pink one and gave me the ugly brown one with a band-aid. He still takes wonderful 3 hour naps. Caleb missed his mommy today. She had to work a long shift and even though he is a perfect baby he managed to give me grief. Grandpa came home and got handed the little terror. Mommy came home at 8:00 and he snuggled in and hasn't let out a peep since. Even at that age they know. Aidan loves any kind of airplane.

Proof!

Caleb's 6 week checkup.

Caleb went to the doctor today and got another shot. He weighs 13 lbs 6oz. Mommy feeds him well. This time he did cry when he got his shot and stared at the nurse. Poor baby.

Spending the night at Grandma's

Life doesn't get any better than this. Adria, Amara, Aidan, and Jonah all got to spend the night Saturday and go to Sunday School in the morning. Aidan and I got to snuggle trying to get him to sleep. I read him ' Don't let the pigeon drive the bus' twice. It was his first time and he said "no" at all the right parts but about every third time the pigeon would beg he would say, "Sure". He tried so hard to sleep but after a half an hour I said "let's get up". He thought he died and went to heaven. I made some real Grandma points. Adria wanted to sleep with me in my room and Amara wanted to sleep with Grandpa in the bunk beds. Jonah slept with his mom and dad. It was a great night. I just finished my Sunday holding Caleb for 2 hours and watching a movie. (The Bucket List- a must see and bring the kleenex) The house is a disaster and I didn't get anything done all weekend but so what.

I'm a star!

Adria was doing a modeling job for my ebay selling. She loves to do her own posing and really has a talent for acting. She especially likes to be a sheriff, pirate, and karate kid. Today she was a singer. The performance begins....

She is not singing a word just posing
I think she's got it down.

The real Adria.

Dressing up at Grandma's

Today we got into some dress up. Amara who is 5 years old dressed up as a prairie girl. She was adorable. I took this picture and then she wanted me to take a picture of her spinning, I gave it my best shot.

picture perfect

Watch me spin!!

and spin....

and the big finish!

Today was a fun day with Aidan and Caleb. Aidan is so funny. Caleb is sweet.

Well, I'm going to give this a shot. First of all my grandaughters are back in school and it just seems so quiet without them here during the day. Picking them up from school is fun, especially getting the news of the day and all the excitement. I'm managing to keep busy with my grandsons though. Leanna has gone back to work so I get little Caleb. Aidan ofcourse is here everyday and little Jonah has been hanging out with me also. He came and spent the night last night! Such a good boy. He loves the no nos but he is so good natured and sweet. He keeps kissing on little Caleb and pushing his swing. He is just like his daddy. This is a little trick he learned today. Sorry Steph. He's a quick study though. Got it right the first time he tried. He made it all the way to the top. notice his cute little horsey shirt and size 3 overalls. He's so cute!
