Photos

I know I've been a bit lazy with this here blog of mine. Especially when it comes to pictures. We haven't been doing much lately. Eric's been working alot and Jo has been under the weather. Here are all the pictures on my camera since the last time I posted pictures.
A few family shots...

Ryelie showing off her new hip headband we got at the mall.

A little bed head and having fun with her birthday present from Nana and Papa. This little chair is quite a hit.

Joey getting into the Halloween candy. My girl likes Sour Patch kids. She thought she was so sly over there. Man did she jump when I caught her.

That's all I have right now. I'll be better about getting on here. I'll at least try. Hehe.

All Hallow's Eve

First, I want to say CONGRATS to my sister, Dani, and her husband, Rick, on the birth of their daughter, Abigail Marie. I can't wait to meet her.
Halloween went pretty much as expected. Jo wanted her adorable pumpkin outfit off right after I put it on her (at least I got one picture) but luckily I had some super cute pjs to put her in. Rye was ready for home after a short time Trick or Treating. She got a pretty good haul though. We had a lot of fun. We had a few friends drop by the house to say HI too. Eric and I didn't end up dressing up. We always mean to, it just never happens. Maybe next year. Enjoy the pics.

OUR BUDDIES

Maile VioletNina & Chad
A friend of mine from junior high that I ran into @ Rye's school. Her son is in Rye's class. Small world.

The Haul

A couple extras I added in
Rye 'ohm-ing'

I added this one because you can see her big tooth popping through her gums. Maybe not in the smaller size but if you click on it, maybe it'll get bigger?

Happy Birthday My Baby...

I can't believe that a year has passed. The tiny little baby that I held in my arms in the hospital is a walking, babbling sweet little girl. She walks, forwards and backwards. She can stand up on her own. She can say Mom, Dad, Bye, Go, Good Girl, Please and Thank You. She may not say them all the time or when you ask her too, but she can still say them. She is getting very funny and she knows it. She is a mini Eric and a mini Ryelie, all in one. She's started giving me the big doe eyes and then blinking slowly at me...like Rye does. She's helped me become a better person and a better mother. From her I've learned patience, to relax and how to laugh at...everything. She helped make those 7 months without Eric bearable. Because even though the days without him were stacking up, each day I was seeing a change in her, watching for things to share with him, even though he was so far away. She got me through it, her and Rye.
I learned today that my sister is being induced and by tomorrow I'll have another niece. I can't believe how fast the year has flown. I feel truly blessed to have made it through this year with a healthy, extremely happy toddler. She's a toddler now! So...Happy 1st Birthday Josefine!

Sisters

Just a few pics I took of the young ones today. Trying to get a good one for this years Christmas cards. Which do you like best?

School Picture

Just wanted to share Rye's school picture. Man, I didn't realize how much BANG my girl has.

Firsts

This last month has held many firsts for Joey Rae. She became an official walker. As we speak, she's getting her first molar. She got her first haircut, she learned how to climb into and sit in a chair and she got her first shoes. I can't believe that in 3 short days my little baby girl is going to be a year old. It makes me so excited for what's to come...but so sad at how fast it all goes by.

We gave Josefine her first haircut this weekend. It was really just a bang trim. They were just always in her face and she wouldn't keep clips in for long. She looks so much older with them short.
Before After

Joey will now let us put shoes on her. She got her first pair this weekend. She's getting so big.

Her favorite pose

Her first pair of Chucks!
