I Have Teeth--I promise!

Jonas cut his first two teeth right at 7 months. He cut the two on the bottom within days of each other, and he was a cranky mess. But, he was adorable after they came in because all he wanted to do was suck his lips in to feel them out. Here he is doing just that!

Now for Christmas Pictures!

We had a nice Christmas even though we were all sick with the stomach flu through the first half of the break. Jason had it the worst, but Jonas also had a cold, so he was in a sour mood most of the time. However, I do have a few cute pictures. We spent Christmas eve with the Tony & Suzan and Levi & Kasey. Then, we drove down to Mulberry Christmas morning to have breakfast with Gran (Laura's mom), Mamaw & Mimie(Laura's grandmothers), & Holly & Mallory (Laura's sister and niece).



Then, we drove back to Fort Smith to have lunch with the Evans side of the family (Suzan's family). Jonas wore his cute Christmas sweater. Here he is with Nana and Grandpa Evans.





Finally, we drove back to Mulberry on Christmas night to have dinner with Gran, Holly, Mallory, Mamaw, Dana & Mark (Laura's aunt and cousin), and, of course, the Moody's--John, Peggy, Jenna, & Spencer (Gran/Jan's neighbors/almost relatives from down the street). It was a busy two days, but it was fun.

I Know It's Almost February But...

Ok, so January is almost over and I still haven't posted holiday pictures. I'm so ashamed of myself. But, since Jonas is down for a nap at the moment, allow me to share my favorite Thanksgiving and Christmas pictures.

We shared Thanksgiving lunch with Grandma & Grandpa Tidwell (Jason's Grandparents) in Fort Smith. Here is one of Neysa (Jason's first cousin) holding Jonas




And here are Neeysa and Devon (her husband) out picking up pecans for Grandma Tidwell. Most of the family spent an hour more of our afternoon doing that chore.




Meanwhile, Nana (Suzan--Jason's mom) and I were inside feeding Jonas his Thanksgiving meal (I think it was sweet potatoes).




Then, Devon and Neysa taught us how to play "sequence" and we absolutely loved it! We played boys versus girls, and of course the girls won! :) It was a nice time.

Family Pictures

Most of you received our Christmas cards with our family pictures on them, but I wanted to publish them on the blog also. Sarah Bartmier did them, and she does an amazing job every time!

More Unpublished Pictures...

We had Jonas's picture made at The Picture People in November. I wanted a professional picture of him in his suit. Our appointment was at 8:00 at night, and usually that would not be a good idea, but as you can see, Jonas did great. (Well, he did great for a while anway--I also wanted some in his Halloween outfit, but the one here was the only usable one. He screamed the rest of the time he had the outfit on.) Jason was pretty proud of me because although I was tempted, I did not go overboard in buying these pictures!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

We went caroling on Thursday night, and Jonas wore his Santa outfit. I remembered that we hadn't published any pictures of Jonas as Santa, so here they are!

Updates...

I never dreamed how hard it would be to keep up with this blog. It's impossible to find time when we're at home! But, here are some pictures that we haven't posted from the last 2 months.

Jason's brother, Levi, got married to Kasey Holland on October 19th. Here are a few pictures from that weekend (rehersal dinner, ceremony, reception). Jonas wore a suit!Here are pictures of Jonas and Kasey, Kasey & Levi, Jonas & Suzan (Jason's mom), Jason & Suzan, and Jonas & Grandma Evans (Suzan's mom).
