Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

He is so thrilled with our Christmas tree.  He loved being with his cousins to cut down the tree and yell timber.  Then when daddy put the tree up, put the lights on and added ornaments this is exactly how he looked.  He has a cute personality!!

Merry Christmas

Tagged, again

So, I have been tagged.  Although I have been tagged before... this one I could figure out.  (I tried to cut and paste all the info form the last tagging and couldn't figure it out.)  Apparently this time I needed to choose the fourth folder and the fourth picture.  This picture is of Bobby.  He just got off the plane from his first flight in December and he was having a great time.  What a ham... he was still winking then as you can tell by his left eye.  

I would like to tag Jill, Beth and Alicia ( you tagged me before and I couldn't figure it out).

You were right...

Yes!!!  Baby number 2 is on the way! 

2

What does this mean?

My favorite number, perhaps?

How many pairs of shorts I own, maybe?

How many friends live a stones throw away, could be?

How many computers I have?

How long my Mom lives from me in hours, sure?

How long the flight is to see family, possibly?

How many people might comment?

What do you think it might be?

Special time with Daddy

A few weeks ago Sherman was working at his old station.  We were invited (ok so I convinced him to let us come) to see Daddy at work.  Bobby was so excited.  He was able to slide down the fire pole with Daddy, ride on the fire truck and watch the big ladder go up in  the air.  He really had a great time and I enjoyed watching the two of them play.  Here are a few pictures of our day with Daddy.  I think the last one is so precious.  He is saying his goodbyes to Daddy before we leave.

Bobby's new seat

We were given this wonderful new chair for Bobby.  Sherman met a guy named Mike a few years ago who works for another fire department.  He and Sherman drove out to Louisiana and back just after Hurricane Katrina hit.  They were able to get to know one another and have kept in contact somewhat since.  He and his wife have three kids and have kindly passed some neat things along. 

Too Cool!

We were on our way home from Oregon and as you can see Bobby was having a great time!

Car Wash

Bobby loves to play in the bubbles.  He was helping me wash the car.  He especially loves to hold the water hose.

Pink Lemonade, Please, Please, Please

So a few weeks ago we were visiting our friends enjoying homemade pizza and some refreshing lemonade.  One of our friends was being very playful (as always) with Bobby and was going to tap him on the nose with the spoon that was being used to mix the lemonade.  Just before he taps Bobby on the nose the tiniest drop of lemonade landed on Bobby's tongue.  Immediately Bobby says more, more and of course we all start laughing.  Just last week Bobby and I visit my mom, brothers and Vanessa.  I am standing in front of the fridge with the door open talking to my mom when Bobby reaches up a grabs, yes, this open can of pink lemonade and starts guzzling.  He was drinking so much of it he started coughing but wouldn't stop drinking.  It was so funny.  After we stopped laughing Bobby started asking for more. 

Ball, ball, ball, ball, ball!

He loves to play basketball.  He is so cute!  

We love free, hand me downs and we're not using this anymore items

This is a new freezer for the Jones'.  Friends of the family  didn't have a use for it anymore and we have secretly wanted one for a while.

Just like Daddy

Bobby loves to be in the garage with Daddy.  He wants to use the lawn mower and edger.  He is all boy!

Capri Sun Anyone?

This is no ordinary Capri Sun Box or Juice Cooler Box - what we have here is what I like to call...            

an accomplice!!

Guesses any one??

SCRU'M CHU' LESCENT

A dear friend of mine taught me how to make pizza at home.  Thats right!!  Here is a picture of a very delicious pizza.  However, I must admit I will never make a pizza like my dear friend or her mom but I will keep trying.  There is a little extra dough (sarcasm intended).  I thought I would try and stuff the extra crust with mozzarella like the professionals do, I failed.  It is not the prettiest pizza (is there such a thing) but it sure tasted great.  Pepperoni, hot sausage, bell pepper, onion, sauce (Ragu, please) and lots of cheese.  TA DA

Walking Tall

Bobby has started to walk!  He officially started walking on our anniversary.  Everyday he is becoming more stable.  He still claps for himself after her falls down.  He is very proud of himself.  The cute girl he is walking to is my brother Jesse's girlfriend, Vanessa and my Mom in the background.

Daddy's Shoes

Yes, this is Bobby wearing Sherman's shoe.  He loves to put them on a try and walk around.  This is a successful attempt. 

My own spot

                                                                               Bobby loves to pull out the bottom drawer of the entertainment center and read books.  He recently has discovered he can sit in the drawer.  He is really resourceful and cute too.

Patience, please

I will be adding more pictures soon!!

Bib Sandwich

We made these for a Baby Shower for a dear friend of ours.  We alternated with Turkey and Ham so there would be some contrast.  We also made a veggie spread that we put on the bread first then the meat and cheese.  We used cookie cutters to cut the bread and cheese. Super delicious and cute too!

I am horrible with peer pressure

After many suggestions, lots of pressure, hints (some of which were not so subtle), I have succumbed.  Here is my limitless attempt to capture and share our lives with beautiful pictures and short stories as each day gloriously unfolds before us.  Thank you for your suggestions, pressure and hints.  I do believe that this will be an adventure for all of us and of course another way everyone can KEEP UP WITH THE JONESES!
