A few things about Jonathan

Jonathan will be turning eight in a few weeks. He's very excited, it's a fun age. Jonathan is very sweet and he has an infectious enthusiasm for life. For example: I've been working on a quilt for him for at least three years. I think I probably started it after I finished Nathaniel's quilt while we were living in Pleasant Grove. I had finally cut up all the squares and stitched them together and the only thing left to do was tie it all together. Grandma Bonnie was nice enough to let us use a frame from her Relief Society closet. Being the president, she has amazing power. Jonathan was so excited for me to finish. He kept asking me if I was done/when will I be done. It filled our whole family room but it didn't take long before it was all finished.


He was so excited when it was all finished, he couldn't wait to go put it on his bed. Such a sweetheart.

Another favorite thing of Jonathan's is the water towers. There are three water towers that are relatively close to our house. The closest and best water tower is the red and white water tower. Every once in a while when we don't have anywhere in particular to go we'll drive by so Jonathan can see it. If it's really good day, we'll drive by the red and white one plus the other two white ones. If it's a really really good day, we'll drive to South Salt Lake to see the silver water tower. There is also a green one on the way to the Bingham Copper Mine, one at the Gateway by the old Rio Grande train station, and there is the "pretend" one at Thanksgiving Point. Yes, we know where all the water towers are around here.

As we were taking a quick trip to see the red and white water tower I decided to get out and take a picture of Jonathan in front of it. It's too big to take a picture up close so I took three and stitched them together with my handy photo stitching software. Apparently, stacking pictures vertically is trickier than stitching horizontally and it took a lot of learning and adjusting to get it right. In the end I'm super pleased with how it turned out.


What a fun picture of one of Jonathan's favorite places! I love it.
