Jonah's birthday!!

Jonah always has to wait the longest but his birthday celebration finally arrived. Actually, after Samuel's birthday last weekend, I was tucking Jonah in that night and he seemed so sad and down. After some asking and prying (he's always the most work to get to open up) he told me that he always has to wait SUCH a long time for his birthday...Seth and Sam got to have fun with their presents and he STILL had to wait. Poor guy. Maybe next year we'll have to switch it around and let him celebrate his birthday first.

Anyway, Jonah's birthday was on Friday and unfortunately that was the same night as Trev's Christmas banquet. We still let him open up his presents from us and from his brothers before we left for the evening. Colleen actually stayed with the boys for the evening (Jerrie and the boys were in Arizona for the weekend), and she brought movies and a birthday cake...so Jonah still got to have a little celebration.

Jonah's very excited about his bionicle.





He knew exactly what he was getting from me and Trev...but he was very excited about his star wars lego set....yes...MORE star wars lego.

We had his actual birthday party on Saturday. He invited 2 friends and we went swimming at the rec center again. Trev was working that afternoon so I took all the boys by myself and therefore have no pictures from the pool...chasing Jude around is a full time job and allows no opportunity for picture taking :). After swimming we came back to our house and played a few games, opened gifts and had some hot dogs and cake.


The boys are playing a racing game.



Jonah and his buddy Ryan. He got more lego from his friends. Once my 4 boys are grown up and finished with lego I'm going to make a fortune on e-bay getting rid of it all;).

Originally, we were just going to take the family to the wave pool for Jonah's birthday but after Sam's party Jonah decided he wanted a "friends" party after all. So....we did both. We went to the wave pool on Sunday evening but unfortunatly it was a "no wave" evening. We didn't know that. Oh well...they still had fun on the waterslide.



Sam wasn't quite tall enough to go on the waterslide by himself and needed someone over 16 to go with him. This time I told Trev I was NOT going and he had to...so he did. I think that's the first time he's gone watersliding with the boys :). In the end I did end up taking Sam a couple of times as well.




The boys loved the long jump off the side of the pool.






1....2....3....JUMP!!!!







It was a busy weekend..but a lot of fun!! Happy birthday Jonah!!

So now that birthdays are officially over, it's time to focus on Christmas...finally. And today I spent the day starting to put up my Christmas decorations....Yay!!
