Jono was a little afraid of "Howdy"


He was very interested in the cattle in the arena...


but he LOVED playing on the tractor!


Dismounting his pony after the pony ride caused the biggest tantrum of the day, though. He was a big fan of that little brown pony.


Hopefully Mary Margaret got some good pictures of us in the petting zoo and on the rides in the kiddie section of the carnival. The carousel was a hit, but the little plastic cars that go around and around and up and down were not fun at all. I'm sure his face was priceless!

caught in the act!

at least it was something as innocent as Cheerios!

After a pukey morning on Thursday, Jono relaxed on his Elmo couch in front of movies, snuggled his sheep, and snacked on crackers. This sort of low energy day is way out character for him. Mama was sorry he didn't feel good, but enjoyed the snuggles.

He loved it, despite appearances. (and don't ask what I'm doing back there)

not a pretty picture

What? You put us in here to go to sleep?!?

The scene in their room 10 minutes after I put them down for a nap. It's a very common scene these days. It frustrates me sometimes, but it's also completely adorable!
