It Snowed Today!!...

...but I don't have pics to put up :(. Our computer is "sick" and is being worked on. We hope to have it back up and running later this week - so I will be sure to post the pics when I can. Garrett was afraid at first...but then loved the "no" (snow)!!! We tried to build a "noman" (snowman) but the snow was to fluffy :(, maybe next time. It was a beautiful sight to wake up to :)

Dancing

Garrett got this toy that goes on the fridge for Christmas. The real purpose of this toy is to teach matching, animals with their sounds, and colors. The animals are cut in half and he has to pick which two go together and put them in the toy-then it tells you what it is etc. Anyway, he doesn't "get" any of that yet - but he has figured out that if you press the little frog up top it sings "country" songs. He loves to push it and just dance as we are getting meals ready. He definitely doesn't have much rhythm!!

New Outfit

This is one of Garrett's new outfits that he got for Christmas. This one is from Aunt Sandra and Uncle Rick. I thought it was too cute to not take a picture and post it! :)

 

 

 

TACKLE

As I have previously posted Garrett loves football...and tackling. Now he tackles EVERYTHING...even his new guitar!! Why do we feel we are going to get a note sent home from daycare saying "your son has been tackling the other kids"??!!

 

If Daddy can play Guitar Hero... so can I

Kevin got Guitar Hero for our Wii with his Christmas money. Now he thinks he is some kind of big rock star (ha,ha) and is addicted to the game. Thanks to Mimi and Papa Garrett now how his own "guitar" for guitar hero. It's Elmo...and he loves it!!

 

Watching for which notes he needs to hit next

 

 

 

Happy New Year!!

We had a great start to 2009! Gran, Aunt Sandra, and Uncle Rick came down for a visit today & we did our Christmas with them! We had so much fun and are so happy they were able to come visit!!

 

Playing the Wii

Starting him out early playing the Wii!!

 

Do we have a future Tiger Woods?

Bubba and Bill (Carleane and Bill!) got Garrett his first set of golf clubs for Christmas. They are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse golf clubs-and they are the cutest thing ever. His shots not the best yet....but he's working on it!! :)

 

 

 

Playing with new toys

Garrett got SO many new toys for Christmas...he is having such a good time playing with them all

His new block table also converts to a hard top so he can color on it!! How fun!


Looking at his new Mickey Mouse books that Bubba and Bill gave him


Bubba and Bill also got his a grocery basket full of groceries. I taught him this morning to "play eat them" so now he goes around smacking his lips while playing with them!!

BANANA!!!

He loves his new Mickey Mouse house that us, Mimi, and Papa got him. I didn't think he understood the concept of "playing" to much yet....but I was wrong. He takes the figurines and plays with them in the house, and even tries to get them to face eachother like they are talking!

Garrett riding his new horse

At first he was scared...now he likes it!! After you watch the video I think you should know that all is well....Kevin caught him and he didn't fall!! :)

Christmas at MiMi and Papa's

There are more pics from Mimi and Papa's that Mom took but I can't upload them for some reason so I will post more later...but here are some to start with!!

 

Christmas Morning

 

Merry Christmas!!

Santa was good to the Jones family today! We had a fun filled day with presents, food, and family. There were a TON of pictures taken today - however I am feeling alittle "under the weather" this evening. I will post pictures tomorrow when I hopefully feel better!! We love and miss everyone....and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! :)

Our future football player

Garrett had been tackling Mickey Mouse ALL weekend-of course when I got the camera out he wouldn't do it on his own-it took a little bit of persuasion....but not much!!!

We've been Elf'd!!

Cut and paste this address to see us!! Merry Christmas :)

Santa visit & new shoes

Needless to say....Garrett didn't like Santa this year. He was petrified! Atleast now we have a Christmas family portrait!! :)



Here are Garrett's new shoes. They are so cute :)

Garrett's very own Mickey Mouse

While shopping yesterday Bill saw this at Lowes a decided that Garrett had to have it. Yes, it is a life size (well 2 ft tall) Mickey Mouse in a Santa suit!, but wait that isn't even the best part....it sings two Christmas songs! I know what your thinking...too cute right?, yea, we did to...only it sings by motion....and the slightest motion sets it off. Ok, a 17 month old, 1 cat, and 2 dogs....why do I have a feeling we will be hearing these 2 songs alot??!! Owell, Garrett does love it and it is quite cute :) Thank you Bill and Bubba :)

Sunday Football!!

Garrett has a new love for football! He loves to watch it every Sunday with Kevin- he really likes when there is a touchdown b/c he throws his arms up in the air like he is doing in the pic...and we have to yell "TOUCHDOWN"....or he gets mad!! :) He was given this Carolina Panthers jersey last night-and even though Daddy didn't like it I put it on him (Kevin is a redskins fan!!) Bill-I knew you would love it!! :)

 

Ba"NAna"!!!

Garrett's new word!! :)

First Haircut

Well....we did it.....we cut his hair!! And what an experience. The pictures show how he liked it-haha.
