My Baby's 7!!

Sunday Jonah turned 7!  As Jaxon would quote Little Einsteins, "I can-not be-lieve it!"  This year Jonah got to share his special day with his dad, seeing as his birthday fell on Father's Day.  He was actually pretty excited about that...don't know why, but happy that he was willing to share it.

Jonah was so anxious to open his presents.  From Gramma and Grand Pa, he got some much needed clothes and a soccer net.  Jaxon gave him some Legos - he was VERY excited to give them to Jonah!

Ma and Papa gave him some Star Wars Legos (can you tell he was pretty excited about them?).  The first present Jonah opened from us was some knee & elbow pads.  He was pretty confused (from the picture, looks disappointed), but he was cool about it...he didn't really get what they were for.  That is until he opened his next present, a new scooter.  

Jonah was nice enough to let Jaxon open one of his presents for him.  Jax was excited even though it wasn't even for him!

Jonah was lucky enough to spend his birthday with Gramma & Grand Pa AND Ma & Papa - he couldn't have been happier!  Ma helped him get started on his new Star Wars Lego ship.

And here's the cake.  

Jonah said he wanted another pirate birthday - I'm not really sure why because he's not into pirates anymore.  Since my last pirate cake (a pirate ship) was a mega disaster (the cake split in 2!), I just prayed that this one would stay together at least until he blew the candles out.  And that it did.  Jonah was so excited about all the edible treasure that would go inside his treasure chest.  He actually asked for a pirate AND crystal cake, the sugar crystal candy that I found was just perfect.  Jonah helped me frost it, he crushed the "sand," and he and Jaxon helped me place the treasure on the cake.

Jonah wanted a picture of Papa & him with his cake and of course he needed a hook if he was going to be a real pirate!

Some how Jonah never learned that you want to try to blow the candles all out at once...oh well!

The day after his birthday, Jonah tried out his new scooter.  He loves it and we love watching him try new tricks on it.  His favorite trick is poppin' wheelies!

After a slight wardrobe change :-), Jonah then tried out his new soccer net.  For some reason Jax kept sitting on the backside of the net, then he'd get pegged by Jonah's ball.  Silly kid!

Jonah is such a fun kid.  He has his tempermental moments, but he is such a loving boy!  He sure loves his family.  I'm glad that he's not old enough to be "too cool" for us yet.  Jonah is my #1 helper...especially when it comes to Jamen.  He's actually asked to change his diaper a few times...even the poopy ones...and he actually does it too!  He is so smart...sometimes too smart for his own good!  He likes math, especially when it has to do with money!  And he LOVES science!  He still says he wants to be a chemist when he grows up, but I think with the kind of mad skills he has with Legos, I think he'd make a great architect or engineer!  Some of his favorite things to do right now are Legos, riding his scooter, playing kick ball, climbing trees, playing guitar & singing (he makes up the coolest songs!), and drawing.  

Jonah I am SO lucky to be your mom and am SO grateful for you!

Happy Birthday Jonah baby!!
