A: What does this shirt say mommy?

D: It says, "Merry and Bright!"

Ava: Well, I am getting married, but I'm not bright!"

Houston Zoo

We took Jonah to the zoo in November. He liked some of the animals but he mostly just wanted to people watch. I took him on the carousel while David took pictures. He didn't like it while we were waiting and I thought they weren't going to let him ride bc he wouldn't sit on his otter. But, once the ride started going he loved it and didn't want to get off!

We also went to the petting zoo but it wasn't really much of a 'zoo'; all they had were goats. Jonah wasn't scared at all. He ran at the goats full force and loved petting them. He just went from goat to goat until he had a chance to pet them all.

Jonah is getting so big!!!

So I thought I'd add some random pics I've taken of Jonah the last few months. I can't believe he's almost 18 mos old! He is getting to be such a little boy and does new things everyday!

He loves wearing his sunglasses...
Eating a sucker he got from the Dr.'s office...

He's sitting in a 'big boy' chair for the first time and very happy about it!

Jonah emptied out the cabinets and climbed in. He is climbing on and into everything these days!

At Toys 'r Us and so happy! Look at all those teeth!

Jonah in his bathtub. His daddy did that to his hair. :/

Halloween

Jonah and I were at my mom's for Halloween. David came up from Houston for the weekend. At the last minute we decided Jonah should go as Tigger because the other costume we had purchased for him was a bit big. My mom, me, David, Ryan, and Jonah took the stroller and just went to a few houses on our street. He didn't really like going to people's homes as he was a bit scared. However, he did love to look around at all the Halloween decorations!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Obviously, I am posting this late but we took Jonah to a pumpkin patch in October and he had so much fun running around and trying to pick up the pumpkins. We ended up buying one big pumpkin for us to carve and a teeny tiny pumpkin which I let him color with markers.

I did this in an hour on Friday

I posted this to my English class's forum. I just re-read it, and thought you might care to see it too.

I woke up at 11:30. Here's what I did since then: I went to the gas station, bought some cigarettes, gas, and a caffeine drink, drove to the Central Parking garage, walked to the Library, looked up "Trinity River Pollution," walked up three flights of stairs to the 3rd floor, couldn't find what I needed, walked up to the 4th floor, across the walkway, and up to the 5th floor. Here, I looked for 15 minutes for a U. S. Government report (USGS actually) on the Trinity River basin drainage area and it's pollutants. Found it. I walked down to the first floor to check it out, back to my car, over to McAllister's -which was too busy to order anything, called Subway on Harvey Rd. and ordered, drove to Subway, picked up a foot-long Roasted Chicken sandwich, and drove home (Campus View Apartments). I then dropped off the food, the book, and drove straight here. I think I've done a lot.

And that was why I was 15 minutes late to class ---again.

I'm testing the Google Docs and Spreadsheets function of posting to Blogger. Well, dude, ...here goes!

My mom and sister must move

My sister Ruth is looking for an apartment in Houston. Here's one reason why. She's told me of several instances where there have been dangerous individuals doing dangerous things (mostly crime) nearby her work and her apartment (where she lives with my mom).

Blonde Joke

Sent to me by my sister:

A plane is on its way to Houston when a blonde in coach got up and moved to the First Class section and sat down. The flight attendant watches do this and asks to see her ticket. She then tells the blonde that she paid for coach class and will have to sit in the back. the blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Houston, and I'm staying right here. " The flight attendant goes into the cockpit and tells the pilot and co-pilot that there is a blonde sitting in First Class that belongs in coach who won't move back to her seat. The co-pilot goes to the blonde and tries to explain that because she only paid for coach she will have to leave and return to her seat in the coach section of the plane. The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Houston, and I'm staying right here." The co-pilot tells the pilot that he probably should have the police waiting when they land and arrest this blonde woman who won't listen to reason. The pilot says, "You say she is a blonde? I'll handle this. I'm married to a blonde, and I speak blonde." He goes to the blonde, whispers something in her ear, and she says, "Oh, I'm sorry." She gets up and goes back to her seat in coach. The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed and ask the pilot what he said to make her move without any fuss.

"I told her, 'First Class isn't going to Houston.'"

Zing!

I'm dating a blonde. I bet she'd hate this joke. :)
