Julie's birthday

Well, I turned another year older...! :-)
We went out to Sawamura (one of my favorite places) for dinner the night before and my mom made me a cake, my favorite, chocolate and more chocolate!
We all celebrated the big day out on the boat in the river.

Jonathan is 4!

Jonathan turned 4 on May 23rd, 2007! He is getting to be a big boy now! He had 2 parties, one at O2B Kids with his friends and one at home with the family. He wanted a dinosaur cake so here he is with it!
He is very much into animals these days, loves to collect them and play with them, read about them and enjoys coloring them as well. We can't go to Target or Walmart now without him asking if he can get an animal! He has a backpack full of every animal you can imagine now. He loves to ride his JEEP down the street when we go for our evening walks/rides.

We took a family trip to the Jacksonville Zoo the weekend before his 4th birthday to celebrate since we knew he loved animals so much. We all had a great time and plan to go back again soon.

Soccer boy

We signed Jonathan up to play soccer this spring at the Y for the first time. He played in the 3 yr old group on Saturdays and seemed really excited about it at first..then he seemed to lose interest. I think he enjoyed the snacks and drinks more than actually playing soccer. Anyway, it was an experience and we bought a ball to practice with at home, some shin guards and the Y gave them all shirts to wear. I think he would sleep in that shirt every night if we let him. Maybe next year he'll be more into it..we will see!
