Oatmeal monster

I repainted our car over the weekend. It was not the first time, and probably will not be the last time. But it was the third time.

I went through three cans of paint, every can of Bright White they had in all the car shops in Provo. Turns out it wasn't enough, so Scott took me out to Orem, and I cleaned out the Checker there also.

The result:

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.
