MERRY CHRISTMAS

What a great Christmas with family!

Christmas Eve

For all those people who worry he was buckled in and we were going slow. He loved it and was laughing most of the time, the only time he was serious was when we went up little hill. He sure did enjoy it though.

With our Christmas tradition we allow Joel to open one gift on Christmas Eve. Well Joel loves it and has spent some of the day wrestling with it.

Joel .VS. Teddy

His hardest class was Arch Design. He had to design a museum all hand drawn, and colored. Way to go Paul you did amazing and I am so proud of you!

Being Cute

Back Home to Oregon (What a long trip)

Man oh man what a long trip. We had to split it up into a couple of days but Joel did amazing. We hit a bunch of snow at one point but my wonderful husband is a very good driver in snow and did great. We are now home in Oregon and enjoying family and Joel is loving all the attention.

Stilling the Show

The kid loves the spot light. This past Saturday night we went to our friends comic show called comic frenzie kind of like who's line is it anyway (improv). The purpose of this one was to have an object/prop and play off of it, well we decided to through Joel in there. Watch what happens, it was so cute.

Thanksgiving Day

Joel playing around outside with us!


Don't you love Paul's mustache he is trying to see how long he can let it go! (Paul with his younger sister Tracie)

Our friends Kirk, Heather and their little girl Hazel came over for Thanksgiving, along with Paul's sister Tracie.

Some fun Stuff

With Joel now sleeping in a big boy bed we sometimes find him asleep on the ground. He has adjusted really well, way to go Joel! Probably half of the time he will get out of bed and play a little while longer in his room but 80% of the time he climbs right back into bed and falls alsleep in there. As you can see this is what happens the other 20%. Not bad for 14 and a half months.

Joel has found a new spot to play he climbs in there all the time.

Fall Pictures

This first and second ones are my favorite! The second one Joel was playing peek-a-boo with Dad and having to much fun, each time he switched to that other side of the pole and would yell Dada. So Cute!!
