Pizza Nite

As you can see Tanner loved the helicopter

where Joel was a little unsure!

I have to tell you I ate the best pizza ever this past Saturday night. These pictures are from the pizza place we went to. The place is called Primo's pizza it is a all you can eat pizza, pasta and salad bar. YUM YUM!!!

So Funny

Joel was getting a kick out of Dad blowing on him! And as you can see he is starting to stick his tongue out (that just started the other day).

Our Tired Little Man

This was just to cute to pass up, but you know the video
is much better!

Joel eating like a big boy

Joel is not quite sitting up by himself yet but we prop him up so he is able to sit in his seat, so now he can eat in a big boy chair!

The new smile

The old smile!!

The New Smile!!

Its funny he just started this gum smile!

Sleeping in his crib

Okay so Joel doesn't exactly sleep the way he supposed to in his crib as you can see. Now that he is moving this is what happens oh and now he sleeps on his side!! To tell you the truth he sleeps like his Dad all over the place! :)

On beat

Joel's Jumper

The best toy in the world! We bought Joel a jumper so that he can start working those legs. As you can see he loves it!

Some new pictures

We were playing our new game last night and this was just to cute to pass up!
(This one is a close up of the first one) How cute!!

Monday

Okay those who know me know that I am not a big mall shopper, however yesterday was pretty fun! We went shopping for some new clothes for me so that I actually feel comfortable in the clothes I wear. Well we found some great deals!!! We weren't even shopping for Paul and we found a new pair of jeans for $20 originally $50, 3 or 4 sweaters and another pair pants each $3.97 ( now that was amazing)!!!!!! And then most of my clothes were $7 originally $30 or $9 originally $20.

It was funny we ended up having to buy Joel a new shirt because he exploded in his other outfit, good thing it happened in the mall, right! And finally Paul found this truck that he really loves and just had to get it for Joel.

Not So Good!

Well we have found a food that Joel does not like Peas! You can see by the video

Family Update

Hi Joel fans,
Yeah, we know that you only look at our blog to see joel stuff, but we through some Paula and Paul stuff in here and there so that you dont forget about us.
Joel has graduated from front to back rolling and is now acceling in back to front rolling, making all the other moms jealous. He has also developed a bit of a belly laugh that is darn cute and dang contageous also.
We are hoping that the snow will start to thaw soon so that we will be able to see some color in the world again. Cabin fever has claimed the sanity of many this season; however, we are among the lucky ones that are only slightly insane.
Paula is still in the process of getting her classes transfered so that she can start up her classes in the summer. It looks like she will get lucky and have most of them transfer without loosing too many. She will probably only have to take 30 credits to graduate; we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Joel being the cute little boy he is!!!

Valentine's Day

Well Paul wanted to make the dinner and so I made the dessert. Paul made Rosemary garlic pork with wild rice and beans. And I made Chocolate cake with white and red frosting and a butterscotch and carmel filling (looks good huh, well it was). We had a wonderful Valentine's Day I hope that you all did too!

5 Months Old

More Snow!!!!!!

We got more snow once again! We got over a foot just last night. I think this crazy, I didn't see this much snow growing up in Washington!!!! I am sure there is over 4ft out there probably more.

Rough 2 Weeks

Well thee last two weeks have been rough! Joel has been sick and for a period of time he wasn't drinking any formula and just pedialite. He threw-up on both Paul and I at least once (as you can see that would be why we kept our house hot and him naked). I ended up getting a little sick as well (however not as bad as Joel) which made it a bigger struggle for Paul to do his homework thank goodness my sickness was short lived. Good news though we are all doing great now! Joel's doctor did end up putting him on some acid reflex meds though to see if that is part of it, we will see!

Newest Picture's

Joel's workout

Joel was able to grab my workout rubber band thing, and he seems to think that it is his new toy!

Bath Excitement

Joel gets so darn excited when it is bath time so I got a little bit of it on video for everyone to see!

A couple new pictures

Bed hog

Joel Woke up and well we were not ready to get out of bed so we stuck him with us (which we never do). Well as you can see he fell asleep and took over the bed!

YEA Joel

He finally did it, he rolled over all on his own!

The Snow Suit

Mom's little helper

We were feeding Joel his rice cereal last night and I went to put it into his mouth and he took the spoon from me. He then shoved it in his mouth and fed himself (I think that he is trying to grow up a little to fast)! But it sure did make a cute picture.

Seahawks vs Packers

Okay everyone playoff game today and we must make my DAD proud and cheer for both teams! It should be a good GAME!!!!

Mom and Joel having fun!!!

Joel's Bottle

4 months old and he can hold his bottle without any help! He has been able to do this for the last couple weeks.

4 months old (17weeks)

Joel offically turned 4 months yesterday on the 10th!

Joel's 1st Rice Cereal

Okay so I have to say it is funny watching a baby eat from a spoon the very first time, mainly because they don't know what the heck they are doing.

Our little talker

Joel is talking so much. It's funny if we try and talk he gets louder trying to make sure we are paying attention to him and nothing else!
