1st Birthday and Moving to GA

We have been on the road moving to GA since Nov. 15th, so I am behind!!! But, here is a quick recap.

On Nov. 10th we had a 1st birthday party at the house in WA for Joseph so that he could celebrate with all of his friends out there. He had a great time!!!!!






I made his an Elmo cake, whom he thinks is the coolest even though he doens't watch Sesame Street.

I also threw in a birthday cake for Brandon since his big day wasn't too long after the party.

Joseph is smitten with Ryanne Martinez. We are really going to miss her and her parents.













Joseph received a Halloween Elmo Card from Mom-mom and Poppa; he was excited!!!!












Ryanne bought him a little stuffed dog with her own money. I think he liked it!!! ;-)












What a ham!














Checking out Ashley and Baby Gavin.














Playing in the boxes while the packers were packing all of Joseph's stuff.













Saying a tearful goodbye to Aunt Kimmy!!! WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOU AND UNCLE ANDREW!!!!!

(BTW...Aunt Kimmy is going to be a Mommy herself! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)









BYE, BYE HOUSE!!!

Joseph is teaching Dad the art of driving with his hands and feet!

Lookin good KID!!!

Reading his book in the truck!

All smiles, even though the house is being packed up in boxes!!!!

We should be in Columbus, GA, our new home, by tomorrow. I will be in touch after we get settled. Hope these pics will tide y'all over!

Bunch of Randoms For Halloween!

Ok, so I admit it....I have been slacking at posting on the blog. My bad! If it makes you feel any better I have been working on this all day and it won't load the last three pictures that I want to add! Plus, I got Joseph's haircut today and the guy totally botched it and we are getting family photos done tomorrow. It had NOT been a good day! (I have scheduled and extra photo session for 2 weeks from now in the event that I hate the ones from tomorrow!)

Anyway, Joseph celebrated his first halloween last night. He didn't really know what to think about it, but he was the most adorable
Jo-a-lantern I have ever seen!!!
Can you tell that he is a sucker for some sweet treats?!












He and Daddy cleaned out the pumpkin. Joseph didn't know how he felt about the ewwy, sticky pumpkin guts at first, but he quickly warmed up to them!


















One of Joseph's favorite games is to play Peek-a-Boo with the drapes in the kitchen. Isn't he just the cutest little boy you have ever seen?!

















Self feeding....or, maybe just playing with a spoon.

















THis is just a pretty picture of the walking path the we walk on in our neighborhood. See the Carbon River on the right? It is so peaceful!!!













I guess that I forgot to mention that Joseph is crawling EVERYWHERE and pulling up on EVERYTHING! He loves to watch the dogs!!!











They love to watch him fall!!!!!!

(don't worry, no tears were shed in capturing this moment.)




















I love his big blue/grey eyes!!!!














There is a Bavarian village out here in Leavenworth, WA. Naturally we had to go visit for Octoberfest! :-)
























We taught Joseph how to make the 'Cool" jesture with his hand!!! PRICELESS!!!!
















Joseph's first haircut. THis one was awesome!!! She did exactly what I asked. Today's guy was a little clipper-happy! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!
