Easter

I had to work on Easter, but I told Dave to make sure that he got a Easter picture of the kids! Later I asked him about it and he said he tried and I knew exactly what that meant! Well, this is how it turned out! It actually made me laugh looking through them all! Thanks for trying sweety!

The happenings in our life

Dave has been really busy with school this semester; he is taking 17 credits and there is a lot of busy work. But the end is in site and I am counting down the months! But I always love Wednesdays cause he comes home from school at 5 pm and doesn't work. So we get to eat dinner as a family and he helps me with putting the kids down. It is wonderful. I love you sweety! I of course think that this is an adorable picture!

Loretta made this and then put it as her picture on facebook; and I have been craving it ever since. So I made the different piece and Dave assembled it for dinner at my parents on Sunday since I had to work. It was great (I don't think that is looks as good as Loretta's but it still was good!)

I was trying to take a picture of all three of us, this was the best one. Which isn't that great but that is okay!Sarah is in the background hiding.

I haven't blogged in awhile and I feel so far behind. I don't know what I have been really up to. Just seems like I am trying to always get caught up on spring cleaning and organizing plus the normal cleaning; and the everyday things such as working, being a mother, practicing the piano and whatever seems to come my way.

I am getting really close to finishing a birthday banner that I am making for birthdays. They can be purchased upwards to 40 dollars on etsy. I figure I can perfect them for a lot cheaper. I will post it when I 'm done!

Kristi's birthday was this last week and we enjoyed lunch at a Chinese place, it was really fun to caught up with my sisters and Mom. We were the only ones in the restaurant; which made it even nicer.

Sarah's year pictures!

I have finally downloaded Sarah's year pictures! I have been having a hard time scanning. Sarah has a hard time being really smiley at people she doesn't know! But I think that they turned out very good overall!

Sarah's First Christmas!

These are a little late, but I wanted to post Sarah's cute Christmas pictures taken at JcPennys. They were take less then a month ago! She was so cute!

Photos I have been waiting for

So here is a sneak peak of our cute kids- there will be more to come, hen I get them tomorrow! So go check it out under Sarah & Jonathan http://www.skyejohansen.com/blog/index.php

3 months Pics

This one of Sarah's 3 months pictures (that I forgot to post). Sarah wasn't very smiley this day. So Dave liked this one the best cause it is a typical Sarah she is just content and looking around.

Random

This was my first card from Jonathan for Mothers Day! I loved it, it melted my heart!
Jonathan lately wants to hold Sarah for a short time! I love my kids!
Yes, he fell asleep on the swing. He woke up early this day, and he just loves being outside. And he wanted me to push him, so I did and soon he fell asleep on the swing- I couldn't believe it! It made me laugh!
Sarah's first bike ride. They both did great. Sarah fell asleep and Jonathan didn't touch her he just looked out the trailer!
Jonathan just chillin' outside!

Jonathan is learning to be such a good big brother! As you can see from the pictures above, Jonathan is reading to Sarah. Jonathan is being with Sarah on tummy time- which is rare cause he seems to like to lay on her (I think that Sarah had to be big for the sake of survival!) Yesterday Jonathan said Sarah once instead of Rara- Dave and I just looked at each other and smiled and praised Jonathan. Jonathan asks for Sarah all the time. They already have such a bond, this past week Jonathan and Sarah were talking to each other in their own way it was so cute! Jonathan is learning to try to say words a little better, and signing. This is helping so much. Although yesterday morning Jonathan kept doing the sign for eat and milk over and over again and pointing to the pantry. I didn't know what he wanted. He soon began to have a fit cause I didn't know what he wanted and he couldn't communicate it with me. Later that day, the same thing- but just the sign to eat. Then I realized what he wanted. He wanted fruit by the foot (I don't usually buy it but it was way on sale), and he just loves it. This morning while I was putting away breakfast Jonathan as walking along the counter, and then peeked over at me I waved at him and then he waved back. I asked for a kiss and then he leaned over and gave me one (with his mouth opened). Its those moments that I just cherish! I love my little boy, he is growing so much! I went back to work this past week, the anticipation of it was the worst. I am getting through it. I know that it is good for Dave to spend more quality time with the kids. Jonathan I know loves it, he loves to play with his Dad. However, Sarah isn't liking it. She is very much Mommas girl! She is having a hard time with the bottle. She will only take it when she is way hungry. So she seems to miss out on at least two feeding, but she seems to do fine and not wake up in the night! But Dave says that it is a process to feed her. I hope that she gets better for those that have to feed her!

Isn't she beautiful!

Lady in Red.....

Smiles!

This is my first attempt in doing a collage! It wasn't that hard. This is Sarah this past Saturday. Isn't she adorable!

Learning

Jonathan loves to hold Sarah for a minute- he gets very excited and tries to be gentle. But we are still working with him! Sarah is very patent with Jonathan ! Jonathan giving Sarah a hug! Mommy and Sarah!
Sweet Sarah, she continues to be a great baby. She loves Mommy to hold her. She eats great and sleep good. This picture above I thought was so sweet, as she is sleeping on my chest- her hand is by he mouth!

This is Jonathan playing on the bouncy chair. He loves to play on it. This past week. He got on it and put the blanket over his head and anted to play peek a boo. It was way funny!

So Jonathan and Mommy are learning together. I try to keep all the

doors closed when i m feeding Sarah cause it is very difficult to get Jonathan if he decides to get into something. Well, yesterday morning I ws feeding Sarah and I forgot to close the pantry door. So of course Jonathan wanted to explore. I have a 25 bag of flour in the pantry and he decided to get about 1/2 cup to 1 cup out of the bag. He got it all over the floor and himself. I think that he was hungry himself cause he started to taste it. Well, Jonathan does seem to be getting into more since I am not right there. But, he is doing better then last week. So I am sure it will get better with time!

We have been working with Jonathan on folding his arms during prayers and it just seems like he is caughting on. This morning I was playing with Jonathan in his room and I was asking him if he wanted to go down the slide. then all of the sudden he folded his arms like we were going to say a prayer so we did. I guess he got confused cause he usually plays on his slide before he goes to bed and we usually pray before he goes to bed. nyways I thought that it is very cute and he is a very smart boy! I will try to post of picture of him praying!

15 Months

This morning Jonathan, Mom, Dad and I went to the Mall to walk. Well, we were there Kiddy Kandids asked us if we wanted a free 8X10. I said we might came back. Well, we went around the corner and then I decided to do it. (Good thing I gave Jonathan a bath this morning, and he was looking cute!) Jonathan did great and we got this picture, even with sepia for free! It was great! I needed a 15 Month pic of Jonathan.
