Oh Geesh!

This is what Joel does when I get out the camera now! I thought it was funny. I know most babies find their tongues when they are pretty young- well, I think Joel just figured out he could stick it out-- much thanks to his dad, I'm sure! I have been trying to do a project I saw where there are pictures of a babies feet, hands, face, tummy, mouth, and ear that are framed with the letters of their name in between the frames. I'm attempting this- so Joel has gotten a lot of pictures taken of him lately. So far, I have hands that I really like- and that's about it!
So, I'll probably get a tongue stuck out at me more than once! I'll share if I can ever get them done!

Joel Walking!!!

I'm doing it!

I needed a hobby to keep me sane and I decided that I am tired of waiting for the day that I get to have my new camera and decided to go ahead and see what I can do. I have another blog that I just started where I am going to post pictures of different things. It is mostly for me so I can have a place to look back and see if I have improved or what I have done, but feel free to look and leave comments ( I always like them!).

Right now it is going to be me just learning and working on improving my photo's, but eventually I may just start up a photography business- but that is going to be a long way in the future. Right now it's just fun to learn!

What A Christmas!

Our Christmas started break started out with Mike graduating from Idaho State University with a Bachelor's degree in both Nuclear and Mechanical Engineering. Yeah for Mike!!!!

Then, it snowed, and snowed, and snowed, and snowed, oh, and snowed some more! It took a four-wheeler and 4 people on top to get mom and dad's driveway all plowed!

Puppies for sale! Any one want them???? Grandma and Grandpa have 4 adorable golden retriever puppies left. Two boys, two girls! I want one, but I have to have a house first!!! We bundled Joel up and went out to play with the puppies and Elise!

Of course Christmas means family, parties and fun, oh and Angie getting sick like normal! The Bailey family party was a lot of fun this year! We had it at the church where everyone could run around and have fun! This is a picture of great grandma and the bailey cousins. Joel was not very happy about getting his picture taken! And yes, there are only 2 boys in the whole picture with all those girls!!!

For some reason, Joel has taken to sitting in his own seat on the floor. He did it with this high chair, with our bumbo chair and with his cousins toddler arm chair. So we are in the market for one. Any one know of a good place to get a little toddler size arm chair? Let me know!!!

After Christmas was all done (pictures on grandma and grandpa's camera!) we went up to the cabin! Where Joel got sick-It was great (please read with sarcasm)! After bubba was feeling better we took him out for his first sled ride! He LOVED it! We hauled him all around and then found a little hill and Elise and I took turns taking him down. Needless to say the sled came home with us!

For New years we went and visited more family. Here is Joel with two of his cousins! I think he's getting the idea that he is being surrounded by girls in every picture and was being quite vocal about it!!! Then we celebrated the New Year by going to our own apartment where Joel slept in his own crib and Mike got sick! Way to bring in the New Year!

So Happy New Year to Everyone!!!!
