MISS INDEPENDENT!!

Since Jozie has started walking it's so hard for me to get her to hold still for a picture. I finally had to put her in her stroller to get one of her- I told her to look at mommy and she shook her head "no" and turned the other way! I think that it's going to be hit & miss from here on out....

Goodbye for now....

Cassie headed back to school shortly after Christmas. We had so much fun with her over the break and we were so lucky that we got to see so much of her! In route to the airport, she and my mom stopped by for extra hugs and an early birthday for Jozie. We'll miss you Cass and can't wait to see you again in May- we love you!

New Year's CREW!!

My friends and family have started kind of a fun tradition- we actually have our New Year's Eve party on New Years Day- we love thinking outside the box! We had a great evening of games, goodies and lots and lots of laughs! We truly feel thankful to have such wonderful friends and family that make special time to spend with us when they are traveling so far (home from texas, dc & michigan!) and only have a limited time to be back here...thanks guys for the wonderful evening and for all the laughs! We love you all! :)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Sending you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We wish you much peace, health, happiness and joy.

'Tis the Season...

'Tis the season for good food, great family & friends and wonderful memories!

we love our daddy- he's so goofy & so much fun!


Time for stockings!





Jozie LOVES her new rocking horse....




and Uncle Joe-Joe's hat...


Jozie's first Christmas was a huge hit! We had a blast celebrating this holiday with those close to us and having Jozie made things all the more special. It was such fun trying to make things extra special for our sweet girl and starting new family traditions with her. Mommy even made a special stocking for both Jozie and Daddy. We hope that your Christmas was as wonderful as ours!

Mission: Santa Claus

This mission was quickly aborted- we're thinking our girl needs to figure out which side her bread is buttered on!! Santa has quite the effect on our gal:)

Cozy Jozie

I came home from the store the other night to find that Daddy had changed Jozie into her jammies and (just in case it was too cold..) her winter hat. She just looked so stinkin cute- I just HAD to share!
