Jonathan's Birthday






365 Challenge #89

These are from our walk the other night. Joel was intrigued by the ground.


The wind picked up a bit. Joel was NOT happy with the situation.

365 Challenge #88

The sky was just incredible the other night.

There was a tornado warning...but it wasn't too windy or cold, so we went for a walk around the farm.

This one was taken once we were back inside, out the living room window. More pictures later.

365 Challenge #86

This last weekend, I went to the wedding of my good friend from college. This cute guy taught Joel how to crawl in just a couple of days.
Sharing all the secrets of things you can get into and destroy when you know how to crawl.
Lovely midwife college friends. I had a blast...it was worth the long flights to Calgary.
The boys were a hit

365 Challenge #84

Joel's aunts found him very entertaining
He wasn't quite sure how to take all the attention. His facial expression here is definitely saying, "I don't know if I should smile at the person playing 'patty cake', worry about the hat being shoved on my head, or cry about my arm getting stuffed into my sleeve. And where IS my mom?"
Still very unsure of the situation.
"Should I smile? I don't know...maybe I should just look worried."

As I walked by the kitchen table.....

Huh??


Apparently pizza is MUCH yummier when eaten this way.

365 Challenge #81

I'm in Idaho for the weekend visiting my family and going to a friend's wedding in Canada. Uncle Josiah and Aunt Gillian had a blast playing peek-a-boo with Joel.

This isn't necessarily a very "good" picture, but the lighting is just so interesting.

365 Challenge #77

We can't hear him, but we're pretty sure he barks all night. Hence the reason he wants to sleep all day (the dog not Nate).

Poor dog....still nameless.

365 Challenge #76 (and more)

We got this little guy 2 days ago. There were 2 puppies left--a boy and a girl. We were determined to get the girl, but then he was just so sweet and so cute. So, I am still outnumbered by boys in this family, but oh well, what's new? :)
He's very calm for a lab puppy. Most of the time, we have to tell Joel to be gentle with him because he just calmly lets Joel rip out his hair/ears/eyes and whatever else Joel can get his hands on. Joel didn't like him much at first, but they're quickly becoming friends.
I really wish this picture wasn't fuzzy!
This was when Joel still wasn't too sure about the puppy. He has "I'm not so sure about this" written all over his face.
No, the puppy STILL doesn't have a name. We're having such a hard time deciding! We've thought of (in order of most liked to least liked): Jimmer, Manny, Ezekial aka Zeke, Lincoln aka Link, Sucre (like brown sugar), Bubbub (Joel's name for him), Rudy.

He's so sweet and just calmly lays by Joel or whoever will snuggle with him.
