JT's Kindergarten Classroom!

Signing in for the first time
The Cafeteria

Three of his four teachers

The front door to his room

My little buddy!

Yeah! He's growing up!

He loves his Grammy!

and who's the best Papa?!

I think JT will help them get organized . . . . hehe

The entrance to his classroom. His is the door on the right!

The Media Center

Right inside the front door of the school. He Loved the bunny rock!! :)-

The "Thrilling" Carpet Ride!

JT Rollerskating!

JT went roller skating for the first time last weekend and he had a blast! Now he is begging for a pair of roller skates that have wheels that light up on them. I told him he had to be able to do more than just "skate-run" on the carpet first and then we'll talk! (of course I can stretch that talk out for a couple of years so who knows what he'll want by then!!)

Not up on his feet yet but has developed a flair for falling!

Now he's a little steadier standing on the carpet. . .

Why does that song "Slip slidin' away, slip slidin' away" keep running through my head?!

He was actually letting me help for about 2 seconds?!?! Holy Cowly!

And down he goes again. . . .

After about an hour of frustration he decided he would take a break and play some games!

What is foosball anyway if it's not played on rollerskates!?!? I mean c'mon. . . .

The Circus!!!

Life is not complete until you have your very own Barnum and Bailey circus sword!!
JT and Helen enthralled by clowns and bubbles!

Jonathan's favorite elephant "Dottie" is in there somewhere . . . .

JT protecting Grandmama and Grandpapa

Smiles under the Big Top!

Can you tell who the unenthralled almost 10 year old is in this picture???? :)

Notice that JT is still in protector mode!

Dancing and fun was had by all. . . . including Grammy and Papa!!!

Christmas Eve at Grandmama's and Grandpapa's!

Watching diligently while Grandmama opens her present is neat . . .

Helping Grandpapa open His present is even better . . .

But getting a gun like he's been wanting for weeks is the BEST!!!!

Stone Mt. Christmas

We went to St. Mt. Christmas during the month of December. While we were there a few of us decided to go up to the top of the mountain. These are views from the cable car on the way up.

Here are some of us crazies braving the cold and the wind!!

These two decided the saner choice was to stay down below and check out the toys!

Look what I found! A cute little boy in the Christmas trees . . . .

Life is always good when you're waiting on a train to arrive!

Here we are on the train ride to see the Christmas lights along the route

Ahhhh . . . Christmas lights!!

Okay, what's with the glasses?!?!

Seriously . . . what's with the glasses?!?!

Okay, the glasses must be getting contagious . . . . . .

Alright, you got me. The glasses were really for the 4-D Polar Express movie we were about to watch and man was that awesome!!!! :)And we ended it all in a large pile of fake, fluffy snow! How cool!!!!!!!

Christmas at Grammy's House!

Can you say excitement abounds??

for both of the Stadler boys . . . .
Now that's what Christmas is all about. A wonderful Grammy surrounded by tons of presents
and grandchildren looking at her expectantly!!!!!

Chillin' on the couch watching the melee of presents being opened everywhere!

Okay, now everyone has to know this is the perfect image of Christmas!!! :)

Followed by two of the cutest smiles you could ever hope to see!!

I think these were successful Christmas present purchases.

Okay, no explanation for a man who is holding a stuffed beaver and smiling?!?!

SUCCESS!!!! Transformers make every Christmas totally awesome!
