The Arizona Newlin’s

They have this uncanny ability to just pass out in to oblivion at any random moment.
One minute they’re playing happily, talking to themselves about how cute the kitty is or how annoying brothers are and the next… zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
We should all be so lucky.

I wish I had Jason’s facebook login info, because if I did, right now I would put in “Jason is happily snoring in the rocking chair with Jonas.”
I don’t know how he doesn’t wake up the baby with all that racket!

Everyone always asks me: Who does Jonas look like? Gray? Ben? You? Jason?
So, once and for all, let’s do a little comparison.
Ben
Gray
Jonas
And just for giggles, here’s me (I’m a bit older, obviously, but it was the only one I had):
And Jason (with twin sister, Jen)
I’ve always thought he looks like Ben (but with more hair). Although, I guess he’s mostly just Jonas, our little cutie of indeterminate ethinic origin (Asian? Native American? Eskimo? The kid looks like he’s got some random ethinic gene that’s surfacing, right?)

I’ve been trying so hard to get a good picture of Jonas smiling. He’s at the age where if you get close enough to him and he’s in a good mood and you look into his eyes and smile and talk to him he just might smile and laugh back. Unfortunately, this does not work with a camera over your face. So I usually end up holding the camera to the side and trying to get him. Various failed attempts:
“I’m trying to smile, but my enormous cheeks are too heavy….”
“HA, HA, HA! I’m laughing because all you’ve got in focus are my toes!”
“I’ve been trying out my wink for the ladies… what do you think? No? Not hot?”
And last, but not least, the perfect picture… or, you know, half of it, at least:
“Uh, mom, the camera’s shifted a little to the left… Mom?”
I’ll keep trying, I swear.

So, he really wanted to say what’s up, but he was sleeping.

Jonas was trying real hard to stay away and smile for the camera, but it just did not happen. His eyelids were just too heavy to keep open.

Here is the Halloween 2007 update.
We had a Ninja (Ben), Duck (Gray), and a Banana (Jonas). We went over to Gary and Laura’s really scary haunted house first, where both Ben and Gray were pretty scared. Elizabeth only got about four steps in and ran back out the entrance. Good times.
The night was capped off over at the Merrill’s where we saw the little hula girls.
