Our Sweet Boy

There have been so many changes with our little guy since the last post. Jonas has been walking the past two weeks. At thirteen and a half months he finally got his first tooth and he looks like such a big boy now. Bailey is still his best buddy and Jonas is always concerned about her so much so he yells her name when he can't find her. One bit of news is not pleasant because I was the lucky parent that had the privilege of experiencing Jonas' first temper tantrum. Despite the tantrum we still love him more than ever and I still love my job.

The First Hair Cut

Jonas was admiring his new hair cut. Really he just liked the mirror then we had to leave and he kind of freaked out when he could not take it home with us.This is Stephanie the hair dresser. She cut my hair too.

This picture is of his long locks before the first cut. Jonas' hair was getting a little to shaggy for our taste, so I guess it was time.

Jonas Is One Year Old!!!

Jason and I can hardly believe our little boy has had his first birthday. We don't know where the past year has gone. I found it so annoying when people told me right after Jonas was born that they grow up so fast, but those people were right. Seriously, it feels like just yesterday Jason and I brought home our five pound little Jonas from the hospital.

We had a birthday party for Jonas at our house this past weekend. Mom and dad were able to visit for a week to spend time with Jonas of course and I guess Jason and me too. Jonas loves it when they visit and all of us had a really good time. It was also really nice to have Donna here to help with the party preparation.

Our First Chuckie Cheese Experience

We were invited to a birthday party at Chuckie Cheese last Friday. Jonas enjoyed the rides and he even got quite upset when we had to take him off the Barney ride. The whole experience really grossed me out because right when we walked in the smell of dirty sweaty children mixed with the aroma of pee hit us. Also I was thinking the whole time if they ever really sanitized the rides. Probably not, I know I am a germ freak, but I am kind of working on it for the sake of my marriage (my fear of germs really gets on Jason's nerves).

All is great in El Paso and the weather has been in the 80's. Our board approved a expansion to Del Rio/Acuna, so we are really excited to see Casas serve in the future at other border towns.

Exteme Home Makeover In El Paso

Tye was in El Paso today to start the construction on a new home for the Ruiz family. Jesus Ruiz is actually one of the pastors on our board for the ministry. We are so excited for them. Today all of the Casas staff went to see the house be demolished and of course be on T.V. Jason will be making his big appearance soon and he has the blue shirt to prove it. I also posted a few pictures of our little guy. He is the sweetest baby ever and is cruising everywhere. We can't believe Jonas will be one year next month. All is well with us and we hope y'all are doing great.

Some More Of Georgia

The first picture captures Jonas' first ride on the Pink Pig in Atlanta. I don't really understand all the hype about the pig because I'm from Columbus. Jason rode it when he was little and my dad did too, so I guess it was important for Jonas to experience the pig. We also went the Varsity while were in Atlanta. Jonas did not get to taste the fatty greasy food of course, but maybe next trip.

Santa's Helper

We busted baby Jonas trying to get into his gifts before the big day.
