hellooo...

So it has been a while...sorry. I just find I have sooo many other things to do than sit at the computer.

Anyway, I thought I would post some of Joey's 5 month pictures. Joe's sister Kim took them and she did an awesome job. It was a little difficult b/c Joey can't sit on his own yet so it was a bit of a challenge.

I love this one, this is actually a curtain and he pulled it down around him and she was able to get it.
He he he..." A Cup of Joe....."

ummm this was right before a melt down... like the drool all over his face.

Doesn't he look so handsome.....he wouldn't stay in this chair for any thing...you should have seen all the "out takes." He was hanging off the side, chewing on the arm.. look at his shirt, it's all a mess.

This was sweet. He just got done screaming b/c he bumped his face.....poor baby

I will try to post more... I think.

Monday at the Races

I can never get the pictures in the right order! So anyway, Monday Me, Joe, Joey, Jess, Mike and Peyton hit Arlington for a rainy day at the track. We had such a good time and we are definately doing more of that. Here are just a few pics from the day.


Some one is getting very cranky! Donna was so nice to try and take a family pic...Joey wasn't having any of it! Figures....Joe is the only one that looks good....grrrrr

Aww...Uncle Mike and Joey...with his derby hat on.

So cute!!! I love it!

Mike and Jess thanks for a great day! Can't wait for the next time!

I'm back...it's been too long!

All I can say is I am just too busy! here are a couple updated pics of my little man.... love the naked one!!! Mothers day....wearing Macie's pretty pink hat...

Randoms....

Too cute not to post!

He can actually sit in this without falling over! Doesn't like it though. :-( I love the Fro!

My favorite place to be from 6am-9am....mommy and daddy's bed! This is when the marathon house cleaning happens!

On our way to church.....yes, we go every Sunday now......

The boy got BAPTISED!

So Joe and I are not holy rollers but it was important to us to get Joey baptised. He was baptised on Palm Sunday, which we thought was pretty neat. But OMG, what a pain the catholic church is!!! Baptism class...letter from the Godparents church....Godparents must be Catholic.....What ever.....We did it and it was a great ceremony. Long time in church though.

And I don't know why everything is underlined...!!! ??? grrr...

Anyway, the boy slept through the whole thing. Except when the holy water was poured on his head. He was startled, which no joke, made everyone else in the church laugh. The saying is true, "save the best for last..." He was a hit! Everyone staring b/c of the hair. No joke, the one mom kept looking back at us. Father Grady even made sure to "fluff" the hair after he drenched it. Too funny!

Joey with his Rosary from Auntie Jess! It even got blessed!

Proud grandpa! My mom made his outfit... the day BEFORE!!!!! Thanks mom! You're the best!

Father Grady talking to Joey.

Mommy and Daddy

Uncle Phil and Auntie Jess....The wonderful Godparents!

Thank you to the wonderful godparents! We knew you were the best for the job! It means the world to Joe and I to have you in our lives and to have accepted the role of godparents. It's amazing how much thought goes into something like that. We love you both!

How many diapers does mommy change in a day....

A LOT!!!!!! So I thought I would take a pic every time I change a diaper b/c the boy LOVES a diaper change and seems to be in the best mood on the changing table......Unfortunately, blogger only allows so many pics....here are my favs....

having a little gas in this pic.....

Finally!!!!

I like my SWING!!! Mommy has been begging me to like it...She keeps telling me she has stuff to do around the house, laundry, vacuming, and that she can't hold me all day and that I am just going to have to like it....

I guess it isn't so bad, I can see myself, and I like those things that spin. Plus, I feel really bad for my mom when she is trying to do everything with one hand.... :-)
