Can you fit THIS in your mouth?

 

Evan loves to put things in his mouth, like most young toddlers/babies. He must have gotten his big mouth from me because he puts things inside and they practically disappear!

AND....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EVAN! Year one has flown by!

He always puts his right leg up on the table...

The cake:

The feasting on the cake:

I wanted to post a couple of videos, but they aren't working...not sure why...

His shirt captures my thoughts exactly

Jonas and Evan got matching shirts from NaNa and Jonas simply loves his "letter" shirt. (Every shirt has a name) Well, he found an orange Sharpie marker and luckily only graffiti'ed his face and the back of his play kitchen! Well, this is his sad face...because he got in trouble...

...and then he said "take another picture" and threw out these two faces...

Each time I took a picture, it was a different face (what a ham). The last one he said "How 'bout a happy smile." So there you have it!

 

Totally different story, just had to write it down:

We really like sunsets and Jonas is always begging us to come see it out the window. Well the other night it was a really nice sunset and he called it a firework sunset. He's so funny about describing things....even his poop in the toilet (butterfly, rock, carrot, etc.).

And anything in the past is yesterday to him...we'll have to work on that one!

What Jonas found at the heart of our country...

Jonas loves to navigate his way around the computer. He is constantly turning on the music player and finding his favorite songs (which could be a whole new post). He also loves getting on Google Earth and perusing the planet. On more than one occasion, I have come to the computer and found this picture filling the screen:

I had to scroll out to figure out what it was because I had no idea where Jonas had zoomed in to. So out I scrolled and found this:

 Alright, a random football stadium somewhere...

 in Lawrence...Okay, where's Lawrence?...

 Near Topeka. Okay, so we're in Kansas...why is Jonas finding this particular football field in the middle of Kansas anyway. We started to get a little worried that he may be a bit too good at this, so we did a little research of our own and got on Google Earth. Well, it brings us to our lovely United States.

So, we scrolled in where it led us and what do you know, it leads us to a little place called Lawrence, Kansas--apparently the HEART of our neat little country! And the football field lies just NE of the HEART a nice little landmark. Now if he finds some other random object in the world more than once, we might get a little worried...

It was so good, I had to take a picture...

Alrighty folks, I promise not to make a habit of posting my couponing adventures, but this one way too good to pass up sharing. Unfortunately the deals are over and I went on the last night of the sale. These are just some of the reasons I {heart} Walgreens...and couponing...

So, out of pocket, I paid just under $41 for everything you see here: 2 Venus razors, 1 planters NUTrition, 4 Robitussin to go's, 1 Advil pm, 1 old spice body spray, 6 Olay body washes, 1 Colgate toothpaste, 1 Oral-B toothbrush, 5 Secret body sprays, 5 Herbal Essences hair products, 1 3-pk. Ivory bar soap, 1 Gillette after-shave, 2 Similac formulas, and last but not least, 12 candy cane pens (it may seem random, but these were my loverly fillers).

Now, normally I wouldn't pay that much out of pocket, but since most of the items were Proctor and Gamble brand, I couldn't use the catalina coupons to pay for other P&G brands (if that doesn't make sense, just ignore it).

SOOOO...the best part of the deal was that in buying all of these items, I received more than $50 in coupons to use on anything I would like at Walgreens. So basically they paid me $10 or so and I walked away with a ton of great things. And I'll be getting a mail-in-rebate for the nuts, so another $3.50 will be coming in the mail!

I used some of the $50 in coupons to buy an SD card, diapers, more great couponing deals, etc. and I still have a bunch left to use on other great deals within the next couple of weeks. 

Hopefully I've inspired someone to coupon...alright, I'm done {sigh}.

All Hallow'd Out!

a month in the making....

Bonked his head while being a "boy"

The two boys

the two teeth have arrived (and since this post has been so long in the making, his top two are nearing their arrival)

He didn't get his big mouth from me... ;0)

Fresh strawberries from our garden....at the end of OCTOBER!!! Gotta love that warm weather that lingered a bit longer.

 

Jonas clothing himself...

"I don't want to rock 'n roll"

In an effort to get Mr. Jonas to go to the bathroom today, I cheered, "let's go....let's go.....let's rock 'n rock 'n roll!!!"

to which Jonas quickly replied, "I don't want to rock 'n roll!" 

...couldn't resist writing that one down.
