Finally Friday!

I look forward to Friday ALL week long! Joe doesn't have to work, and it is always so great being able to spend the day together as a family. Joey woke us up this morning at 7:45am, yelling to us....and when we peeked into his room-he was standing in his crib just staring at the door! Wild man :) It seemed as though he was yelling to us, "Enough already, get me out of here!" LOL!



We had a few errands to run and then headed over to JoAnne and Gary's for dinner. We had a good night visiting with them and also Aunt Dawn, Aunt Dana, Uncle Jay, Kylie and Noah. (Joey missed you Uncle Dave!) Dinner was delicious...but it is hard to go wrong with tacos! YUM!

We also went on a nice long walk around the neighborhood. I don't have a picture to share, but can I tell you how much I love Bubba? I mean, he is the cutest little dog...and he happily joins us for walks in the bottom of the stroller! I think a few people may have been peering out their windows at us, but I think it is hysterical!

Tough day, Joey? Soon after putting up a fight, he was all tuckered out and sleeping by 8:30.


Well, it is getting late. Tomorrow is a big day as my parents are having my graduation party! I can't wait to see everyone! Lots of family, friends and good food. Already sounds like a great time, right?

Just like last time, here are a few extra photos for you:

New Blog!

Well, I finally decided to make a blog. As much as I enjoy reading them, I never felt like taking the time to make one! But now that I have...here it is!

There is no better way to start off a blog then to post a few photos, right?! I can't believe that our sweet little boy is almost 8 months old! Can you even believe that he went from this tiny baby (well, as tiny at 8 1/2 lbs is) to as big as he is today?
Here he is just a few hours after being born:


Here he is just a few days ago:


He brings so much love and happiness to our lives! He is really starting to get his own personality and decide what he likes/dislikes. Lately, the only time we can get him to sit still and snuggle is right before a nap or right before bed. Just last night we were talking about what we missed most about Joey when he was a tiny baby. We both answered...how you could just hold him in your arms and he would be happy! He is very independent and likes to explore the house! He has been crawling all over, standing up while holding on to something and sitting himself up on his own. We are pretty sure that Bubba is his best friend, and as much as I hate to admit it...Bubba's toys seem to be more entertaining then his own!

That is enough for today! Here are a few more pictures to end with :)
