Soon-to-be Mobile

Here's our little Junie. She's 5.5 months old and getting ready to crawl. She's up on her hands and knees and will be scooting around the house in no time. I guess we better baby proof a few things, huh?!

Yummy Cake Pops

*My finished product: all wrapped and ready to eat!*

I recently discovered Cake Pops. A coworker brought them to work one day and I had to make them myself. They are so yummy. I made them for the family xmas party; all individually wrapped and everything. (Yes, I do have a little cabin fever) They are now one of Joe's favorites, so they'll be popping up at our house often.

5 Months Old

Look at our big girl! She's 5 months old already. Sitting up and talking up a storm. She loves to just lay on the floor and play with her toys.

Big Airplane

Joey got a super cool "Flight Set" that makes this awesome airplane, a rocket, a helicopter, and other stuff. He loves it. Looks like we'll be spending the afternoon building vehicles.

Shoveling Buddies

Dang! It's about time we shoveled the 33 inches of snow off the deck! We waited until we had help...Danny, Jason & Dave spent some time bonding and shoveling after opening xmas gifts.

Christmas Day Games

Here they are playing the new "Amazing Race" Wii game. Even Junie thought it was fun to watch.

Christmas Presents

Here are the kids with their loot from Santa. He brought small presents this year. But Joey got everything he wanted (except for the $100+ Legos sets). And Junie loved all her presents too. She loves anything she can get into her mouth, so she was easy to buy for. And she's sitting up now too! My kids are getting so big...

1st Food

June's first Thanksgiving and she got to taste some real food! We gave her a taste of yummy applesauce. She liked it! And knew how to eat it right away. What a smart little girl.

First Snow of the Season

*It took longer to shovel off the deck than it did to shovel the driveway!*

*Our snowman is angry because he is ugly*

*Joey & June in the front yard*

The first snow was a BIG ONE! We had about a foot of snow on the deck and it was the really heavy, wet stuff...a pain, literally, to shovel! But we had fun making our snowman and Joe just loves shoveling!

Playing

June has a new exersaucer to play with (thanks to a friend at work) and she just loves it. She's started to really grab onto things and loves to chew on everything. She's a very smiley, happy girl!

Sunny Day

* Joe's helping put up the xmas lights*

*on the back deck*

It was a beautiful, warm day in November. We spent most of the day outside. It was lots of fun!

Cutie pie

June is so happy playing with her little giraffe. She loves to hold him and chew on his fluffiness.

Halloween

We had a great time trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood. We met lots of our new neighbors and Joe got lots of candy. It was a great night, not too cold (40 degrees). And Joe looked super awesome in his Chef's costume!

Fall Party at School

Here's Joe and his new classmates all dressed up for the Fall Party at school. He started at a new school when we moved. He has a much bigger classroom and now has 20 kids in his Kindergarten class. He loves that he gets to ride the bus!
