Jonah tormenting Annabelle!

All day long, today, Jonah has been tormenting his poor sick sister, Annabelle.

Annabelle is home sick from school and been sleeping on and off all day. Kept whining to me about Jonah this or that.

I would just shake my head and sigh... Trying to tell Jonah to leave Annabelle alone. I think he is delighted to have someone home with him all day instead of being with his mommy. He has not gone back to FSDB since early December. We will have to re-register him again in the fall and this time he is going for he will be then 4 years old.

See that smile?

I think that's the best smile I've captured from him! Imagine that is from tormenting his sister!!!!! Golly gee!

I could not help but hide my smile when Annabelle comes whining. This time, this is about her shoe that Jonah snatched away from her.

He was dancing while I was trying to snap this picture and wow! This beautiful mischievious smile!!

A cropped picture of him wearing Annabelle's favorite "Mary Jane" shoe.

I dubbed this picture of Jonah on the left, the best smile ever! Even his eyes were laughing!

He was having FUN!

Poor Annabelle!

Another Crew cut! Yearly so far!

Time for another crew cut! His hair always seem to struck outward. His hair never seem to want to stay down. Only time it will stay down is when his hair is wet and will co-operate for a few hours then it bong out. His hair has its own mind.

He always get a lot of comments on his outrageous hair. Always cute though!

I had a hard time getting him to smile and stay there. He kept running around. He remembers he does not like getting his hair cut. Grrr!

A full pose picture of him. Isn't he a darling?

A boy through and through!!

He has a mischievous streak in him.

Jonah is terribly upset to lose his hair!! Imagine?!?

He was saying to put those hair back on!

LOL!

After he had his bath. He's all happy now and like wearing this jacket of his and hood over his head and have the hood behind his ears. That is a new thing from him.

"I'm tired"--Mommy and Jonah

Just a funny little moment between a Mommy and her son.

Jonah wanted to hug me which I gladly hugged him then I lifted him up and held/hugged him. It went on a few minutes of cuddling.

Then I put him down. He said he wanted more. I told him, "I'm tired." (He is kind of heavy to hold very long and with him wiggling around doesn't help make him lighter.)

He said, "No, not you, I'm tired." Indicating I should continue to hold him.

I smiled and I held him some more.

This little boy of mine is getting bigger and he now weighs about 41 lbs.

Senor Isaac's 60th Birthday Fiesta Bash

On Sunday, February 6th, we celebrate Senor Isaac's 60th birthday here at our home. And his birthday is on the same day!

You might see some of the same pictures at Facebook. But I wanted it in my blog with tales attached. Not quite the same as Facebook. So this is better! Hah! Facebook can't compete with mine!

Anyway, it was a wonderful day for my Senor, I think.

Happy Birthday to you dear Senor!
