"The Look"


Jo has been working on "the look" the past few days. She is getting it down really well, and by the time she is a mom people will literally drop dead when she gives it to them. Sometimes when she does it on her own without us prompting her, it scares me and I fear for my life for a second till I remember it is just my baby. It really is that good already, I think it's better than mine. (Sorry the picture is sideways) The video was taken after several minutes of doing that so she wasn't doing quite as well because it was getting old, and she knew she was funny, but it is still cute.

Trip to Colorado

My parents are great and amazing, and extremely wonderful. They were kind enough to take Jo and me out to Colorado and Utah with them for two weeks. While it was a little challenging at times having Jo and no Josh, it was overall a really great trip. It was really nice to see grandma, Seth and Brette, and Stephen and Jaymi, along with lots of other extended family, many of whom were kind enough to put us up, and put up with us for a few days.
When we arrived in Colorado it was snowing, and by the next afternoon there was 25 inches of snow on the ground. It was AMAZING!!!! It made my life. Oh, and the pictures are all mixed up because it is a pain trying to fix them.

Easter Weekend

Jo absolutely LOVED hunting for Easter eggs, so we did it several times that weekend. This was the Saturday afternoon before easter, Calli went looking for them with her so she wouldn't be looking by herself.

This is her really excited "oooo... there's another egg!" look.
(sorry Calli, didn't intend to slice off half your head.)

Dumping the eggs out on the lawn.


Yea! Calli found one!


ooops Jo saw her going for it!


That's okay, she can just take Callis basket ; )

Haha they are all mine! Don't even think about trying to take them!
(Actually she is very good about sharing that is just what the picture looks like)

Trip to Tyler


At the end of march we went up to Tyler, Tx to spend the weekend with the Smiths. It was a fun exciting trip, and we all had a great time. Jo started saying "R.Dee" on the way out there and hasn't stopped since. It is fun to see the two of them getting along so well.




We played at a playground for a bit and as you will see in the video, Jo loved the monkey bars.




Lots to do

So, there has been alot happening in the past month and I have over 1400 pictures to share. However, I don't wan't to bore you all so I will put up only a few pictures from each event on here with a little blurb explaining and will hopefully soon put several more up on facebook. (still only a small percentage but several none the less.) So the next several posts will be from all our weekend excursions and other various events and trips. It might take a few days to accomplish all the posts I have in mind, especialy since Jo isn't taking more than a half hour nap a day. Enjoy!
