That's Our Jonah

Conversation at Dinner Tonight

All of a sudden, Jonah: I have to go poop!!!

He runs into the bathroom and comes back a few minutes later.

Me: Did you wipe your bottom?

Jonah: Not yet.

Me: Well, you have to wipe your bottom after you go poop.

Jonah: Well, I have to eat dinner first!

Priorities, man.

I Have Been Living Under a Rock

Okay, so a while ago I was at Target and I just happened to look over at their bakery and I found THIS:
A lovely little 4-serving Red Velvet cake. Hmmm. I had never tried Red Velvet cake- it seemed pretty weird, but I had heard it was good. Besides, look at this thing. It was too gorgeous to resist! It was like a work of art! It almost hurt me to stick a fork into it, but after I tasted it, I was over it. It was the best cake I have ever tasted IN MY WHOLE LIFE!

Now I have heard people say, "I'm not a cake person" and neither am I really, but this is amazing! It is my new favorite flavor of cake and I am in love! I even went out and bought another one (pictured) because I needed to show you all a picture of it. Okay, and I wanted some more.

If any of you know me, you know that I LOVE shaved ice. It is my favorite treat, better than ice cream in my opinion. Well thank you for being such a good friend, Kemra, and telling me about Bahama Buck's! I am going to go there at least once a week this summer. They have over a hundred flavors and you can get ice cream in the bottom so that it will all melt together at the end- YUM! (Sorry for all of the caps; I am really excited about my new discoveries!)
I can't figure out how I didn't know about these yummy treats until recently. I guess I wasn't really living. Hopefully I won't give myself a cavity now!

New Sounds at Our House

We finally got our piano tuned after having owned it for over three years! Even though it sounded horrible before, we sometimes played it anyway. But now it sounds so much better! The kids had a little jam session after church on Sunday:
And here is Jonah wearing the cool hat that Grandpa and Grandma sent with some stuff we left at their house! It's a little snug, but he doesn't seem to mind!

Our Weekend

Well, I started painting the downstairs on Monday of last week and finished rolling on Thursday! That is pretty fast for me, but Peter did help me with the rolling. Now all I have left to do are the touch-ups and the ceiling. I haven't started yet, and since I am very meticulous (okay, anal) it might not be done for a while. I have to make jam tomorrow and do some things this week, but I will get around to it little by little. It is a lot lighter during the day, but I like it a lot. It's so much better than white!
On Saturday, we went to the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park up in Scottsdale with our cousins. They have a lot of big engines on display, a train you can ride, a carousel, a huge playground, and a little museum of sorts. The kids all love trains, so they had a lot of fun.
