Get ready to laugh

I apologize in advance for the shaky video, I was just laughing and couldn't hold it still. He laughs at the funniest things. Pete is always making him laugh--it is so cute! Okay, maybe you won't laugh, but we sure though it was funny.

And do you know what this means?:

That's right--red knees means that Jonas is crawling. Not very well yet {he's still wobbling like a newborn deer}, but he's finally going forward!!! His transmission has been stuck in reverse for quite some time. I guess I'll have to go out and buy a gate to keep him away from the stairs.

The ALICE in me

So, my sister went to a Twilight party a while ago and I decided to throw one up here with my girls. So, here's the invitation me and my friend Heidi made. I love the Harlequin dry-embossed pattern I found for the front of the invite--it was really fun to use.

{Doesn't that red ink on the inside look like blood???}

The only pre-requisite for an invite is that you have to have read all of the Twilight books and love them. If I haven't given one to you (and you live nearby) let me know. I may not know that you've read the books. I am super excited to play some games and just talk Twilight with no hubbies to make fun of us or get mad for talking about these "fictitious" characters and their lives. I'll definitely post pictures from the party after I've finished Breaking Dawn!!! I can't believe it's release is only 2 weeks from tomorrow! OME!!! And I remember when I put the coutdown on my blog and it said 98 days left. I hope the movie gets here just as fast.

Oh, and if you didn't get to see the newest trailer, here it is. Much better than the first in my opinion. However, I'm still not sold on RPatz as Edward, but maybe it'll get better with time.

MEMORIES

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

{Leave a comment for one or both of us}

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It’s actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I’ll assume you’re playing the game and I’ll come to your blog and leave one about you.

So, let's take a trip down memory lane to see when you knew us...

Now...{there are lots of those pictures, so I won't put any up. Plus you know what we look like!}

12 hours!!!

Jonas usually only sleeps for 11 hours, but last night, he went 12!!! 7-7. He's always been a good sleeper, but this was awesome. I LOVE Babywise!!! This picture was not taken last night, but it's one of the only ones with him sleeping. I took it because he had a toy ring around his left arm, his toes poking through the blanket, and the monkey's arm across his neck.

2 t*EE*th

Trying to take a picture of this was interesting while he was bouncing up and down from excitement in his exersaucer. He used to go stoned faced when the camera came out, but now he just gets all excited. Can you see them??? They are front and center and are super sharp.

Jonas's reaction to all the fireworks

I'll let the picture do the talking. The fireworks were so much fun, as usual. They were not right up above our heads, so it wasn't too loud. He was just in awe. His mouth dropped open as soon as they started going off.

STOP RIGHT NOW!!!

Okay, so I have like 3 or 4 other tags to get posted (and I have started most of them), but this was a demanding one--I must consent. So, stop reading my blog and go grab your camera to take some pictures. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but that's because I cleaned a lot on Wednesday. Start snappin'
those photos. And no cheating!!!

1. Toilet {no detail shots here, but not too shabby}

2. Laundry {I did three loads yesterday and this is what I haven't put in the dresser yet}

3. Kitchen sink {This is unusual because I normally have a sinkful. We had homemade pizza last night and the pan is soakin'.}

4. Closet {okay, for real--I can't get a decent picture because it is so small. My next house will definitely have a bigger closet!}

5. Refrigerator {I did some serious cleaning of this a few weeks ago, except for the shelves in the door. I'll get to that later.}

6. Favorite pair of shoes {Flip flops all summer long, baby!!}

7. Favorite Room {we could watch these guys for hours}

8. What your child(ren) are doing right now {well, right now he's asleep, but when I took the pictures, here he was--messy face and all}

I tag anyone who thinks Jonas is cute!!!
