If You're Happy and You Know It...

Dance like Jonathan! 

My favorite is that he pushes the button, looks at me, smiles, then starts dancing! He sure does LOVE music and dancing!

First Birthday Party!

On Saturday we had Jonathan's first birthday party, it was just a couple days before he actually turns 1. Jonathan's Grandma Patricia and Grandpa Jim were able to drive up from Arizona! 

 We had a Curious George theme. Here is the little man:


Instead of cake we did banana splits

This is the banner I made... sadly it isn't in focus. Sorry!
After having a little lunch we got to open presents:

A card and check from G&G Thresher

Shoes from Niki and Celeste

Coat from Great G&G Harding

His favorite: his own cell phone and keys from Alyson

Bath toys from Michael and me

Panda from G&G Harding

Cute clothes from Alyson
After we opened his presents we played "Pin the Tail or Hat on Jonathan"



Grandpa missed the picture completely

Sadly Grandma's eyes were open and she still missed




Celeste and my mom waited to go last so they could learn the tricks and do it correctly:


Perfect placement of the hat

Perfect placement of the tail
After the game we had ice cream:

Ice cream with  bananas and strawberries

This is while we were singing to him... he LOVED the attention

He loved playing in it, but never quite got down taking a bite... so my mom fed him/let him play
And his new favorite walker:

Thanks Great Grandma Harding!




Thank you everyone who was able to come!

Walking!

This past weekend we were in Colorado and Jonathan just decided to start walking. He still crawls most of the time, but when he walks he does it with a HUGE grin on his face! We are so proud of him. :) 

 


These pictures are from this morning. He is walking more and more. :)

Goodbye Nicholas

Hello MediConnect Global!



Start date October 1st.Finally out of Food and Logistics related jobs and into Healthcare and Technology. I'm very excited about that!

This is also job #3 in as many years. I've got to stick around at this place a while otherwise the resume is going to read:

   Job #1 - duration: a year-and-a-half
+ Job #2 - duration: a year-and-a-half
+ Job #3 - duration: and so on

= Bad attitude & a job hopper

Definitely not resume candy.

I had a friend share with me a few years back that they thought the only way I'd be happy with my job would be if I were self-employed or employed through the Church. They may be right but for now I'll give this a shot. The next step in the long journey that has been escaping underemployment.

Pay It Forward

I finally did it. Today I paid for the person behind me in the drive-thru. Felt good...the whole random act of kindness thing.

Dear Daddy,



I love this stuff! After taking a bite I got so excited I took three steps all by myself!

Love,
Jonathan
Here are a couple pictures I took this morning:
