This is our FIRST family picture together!! We felt like we should get one done, and with Jonathan's work schedule, it seemed like our baby was going to have babies of his own by the time Jonathan worked it in. But alas, it happened, and we were pleased. Great things have been happening in our family, baby Jonathan, is eating baby foods-- he HATES, utterly LOATHES peas, but chows down on the sweet potatoes. He rolled over April 28th. And at the beginning of May he showed his rolling skills by rolling off the bed.. His dare devil stunt put a bruise by his eye, cut his foot, and a scrape on his head... Needless to say, I was scared.. He was crying when we raced in the room and I screamed, "Where did he go?!" Jonathan still makes fun of me for my dumb comment. We had other parenting "issues" too. Like a son who HATES his pacifier and LOVES his thumb. So Janella told me to put socks on his hands when he goes to sleep. Her mom did it for her (like a week ago...lol) and it made her stop when she kept sucking on sock.. Well, we tried it, and in the morning-- Jonny had wiggled BOTH socks off and had his thumb in his mouth. Absolutely CRAZY!! We love our little guy, and he knows it too. Sometimes, when he is in his jumperoo, he cries and cries, we walk over to him to pick him up, and he stops and smiles.... stinker... And this is only the beginning..... I can't wait to see how this baby is going to be as he gets older!!!!

Some time well spent in the car

Jonathan did Grandpa Robbins hair Signature Sound Style











These four pics are crazy faces i requested on our ride to the Great American Steak and Buffet. I think some are close to the original look but I will let you decide who.

Methodist Church- note separate doors for ladies and men









Some pics of the chalet, i waited till the next day to take pics, so I didn't venture into anyones room but ours... it is a huge place with nice views and lots to do..

Monkeying around









I guess when you stay around a chalet for too long of a time and there is someone with any amount of energy, crazy things can happen. Here's Jonathan getting restless and climbing around. He got yelled at so much...

Some of the Chalet Past times

Here's lil Daniel showing his moves on Jenga. It was all fun until HE ruined it by dropping it all over the floor. We have also been playing pool, playing on the arcade machine, and taking about letting a load on the ice rink.... inside joke...

Time in Tennessee

For some reason, the pics are not loading very well... But as soon as they do, they will be posted. We have been having a blast here.. Jonathan, me, and baby Jonny are here with Grandma & Grandpa Robbins, The O Donnells, Daniel Robbins family, and Grandma Hig. It has been so much fun. We travelled down Thursday, and went to Dixie Stampede that evening. Friday, Daniel, lil Daniel, Jonathan and I went to Ober Gatlinburg to go ice skating. It was great until the guys got kicked off the ice because they were speed skating.. If only they would be as good as me..... Then, that evening we went to The Comedy Barn with Greg, Anna, the kids and Dracinda. It was hilarious. We got baby Jonathan a horse dressed up like a cowboy.. We got to build it. Then today- Saturday- we went to Cades Cove, it was really neat.. Sunday is church and Monday we are going to DollyWood before we head back for Indiana... Pics to come. :)

Supper with Pete and Liz



Jonathan and I were invited to Pete and Liz's house for dinner. We absolutely had a blast. I almost DIED when we played Mad Gab because Pete and I royally stink... Jonathan and Liz did rather well. But Pete and I could show them up when we played racing on his Playstation 3. It was a great time, great food, and we even had chocolate!!!
