Nap

While we were walking home from church, Lucas told us he was tired.

Luckily Ryan had his hat to shade our fair-skinned boy.

First day

What Jonathan told his teacher he wanted to learn in kindergarten:

1. why some people have to wear glasses

2. how space shuttles get into space

How many trees must a preschooler...

Jonathan shows off all of his projects from pre-kindergarten.

Happy Birthday!

It is hard to believe that Jonathan is five. He has grown up so much in the last year. A few things I love about Jonathan: his smile, his infectious laugh, and his great imagination. He asks great questions (Do birds have ears? Why didn't you turn on your blinker when you turned?) and I love finding the answers out with him.




















Jonathan had a Star Wars birthday party for his fifth birthday.

Activities included

• Luke, Luke, Darth Vader (variation of duck, duck, goose)
• Make your own light saber
• Jedi training obstacle course
• Bounty hunter hydro-detonater fight (water balloons)

After Lucas woke him up this morning, Jonathan had an asteroid hunt to find his presents.



















The scooter was a hit.















His cake: dark chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse. Consensus: great cake, mousse too rich.

Dirt.

We went camping for the Fourth with the Christensens. Two days of lots of dirt and no baths: a boy's dream come true.

Up, up and away

More big sights
