Our Kid is so Smart!!!

Okay so maybe he is as good as a lot of kids but to us he seems to be developing very quickly.

Words he is saying:

• yeah ball
• car
• Mama
• Da da (and daddy)
• uh oh (not sure if I should count that as a word but I do)
• hi
• He has said cookie, and please but we are still working on those.

He knows the sign language for;
eat, please, more, sleep, and bath (which is the new one).

Update and Recent Pictures

I am on an ultimate Frisbee team which is fun and more importantly a way to lose weight. These first two pictures are from one of my games.


And here are my boys!

Sick Day

Well yesterday was a very long day, both of my boys were sick. Paul on Sunday night was not feeling well (his tummy was really upset). So all night he was up and in the bathroom! The sad thing was, the night before I hardly slept so I was out cold and didn't even hear him get up all night long so I wasn't there for him. He told be the next morning that he almost passed out (so that didn't make me feel like a very good wife). So yesterday morning we woke up and Joel was throwing up. So yesterday I spent the whole day nursing them back to health. Thankfully I didn't get it! They are both doing great today and back to there normal selves. And P.S. and by the way if you haven't gotten a FLU shot yet go and get one the virus has already started!!!

Paul's B'day

I know this picture is not the best but you see the people.

A bunch of video's

Joel is so funny! He is so attached to Paul when he is home Joel is by his side. So Joel wasn't happy when Paul started to walk away from him!

Joel is walking like crazy. Last night he practically ran, no I did not get it on video but it was pretty funny. His feet were moving faster then his brain could process it. The first video was when the uh oh started. Joel had started saying uh oh and we didn't know where he got it well come to find out he got it from a song that we play, man the kid is a sponge.

Joel and Us (but mostly the kid)

Sorry Mom its not a new walking video but while Paul is at class tomorrow I will get another video of Joel walking up!


Dad and Joel reading

It's starting to get cold here so here is Joel bundled up!

Teton Dam

Paul Joel and I went to see Teton or what use to be the Teton Dam. Paul needed to do it for school and plus I wanted to see what it looked like. Apparently they didn't need build the Dam but they built it anyway for irrigation for the farms. Back when it happened there was a lot of damage done. If you have time to look it up it pretty interesting!

Joel Walking

Go Joel! That's right Joel is now putting one foot in front of the other!

S'mores Yum

Joel made a mess with the s'more but he seemed to enjoy it! The funny thing was he couldn't get it off his hands.

Birthday cake

Happy Birthday Joel

Scared Boy

For some reason he is scared of his remote control car, for us it was pretty funny!

Not walkin' but sure is talkin' !

Joel may not be walking but he is talking. He is saying five words now!! Unbelievable! "Car" is the newest word and I got it on video. The other words are Dada, Mama, yeah and ball (the other latest word added to his vocabulary).

A bunch of new stuff

He knows know how to climb stairs, now I am a worried Mommy!

He loves to drink out of big boy cups, oh man he is growing up!

So Joel was helping Paul today fix the car (OK the truth is he got dirty and threw the tools everywhere)!
