Elmo, elmo and more Elmo!

IJ recieve this Easter from Grandma Russell and Elmo bib, book, doll, plate, bowl, spoon, and fork! Not to forget the shirt, big boy underwear, puzzle and I hope I did not forget anything else. IJ was tickled to recieve these wonderful gifts and enjoys using them everyday. I think he is one of Elmo's biggest fans!

New Fun Friends!

These two new friends are the G Sisters from bible study. IJ looks up to Miss K! He loves doing everything she can do! He so enjoys giggling and laughing with her. IJ loves and adores Miss C. They come over a lot and we visit them. They have a ton of fun together! We love our new found friends!

Spring Gardening With Dada!

We planted some flowers for spring because all our flowers did not live from over watering and neglection! Having a toddler can be challenging! But we are trying again this year! IJ so enjoyed planting the flowers with us! IJ loved getting his hands in the dirt, pointing and squealing at all the flowers and trying lift the pots to help us! The family so enjoyed this spring project! I will call you dad for any advice. I love that I can call you with any questions. Dad, help I have bugs again!

Easter 2006!

Easter was so fun! We went to church in the morning and then came home and had an Easter Egg Hunt with some friend in the neighborhood! IJ had a fun time finding the eggs in the grass! We then had a yummy steak dinner with some of those same neighbors and friends! Also IJ got some fun goodies from family! Grandma sent everything Elmo, which tickled IJ to death! Plus all the yummy candy from Grandpa Jim and Grandma Jan and of course an Elmo bath toy. Plus Aunt G brought some cute clothes and an Elmo bath toy as well! IJ was tickled to receive so many nice thoughtful gifts! We could of not for a better Easter! We as a family had a great time! We especially loved having Aunt G out for a visit.

Aunt G Came To Visit!

Aunt G came for a visit over Easter! We so enjoyed having her here with us! She just adores IJ and loves playing with him! IJ loved seeing his Aunt and is looking forward to seeing her again! Thanks for coming Sis! We love you.

Eighteen Months! Wow!

IJ is 18 months on April 24th. He is saying so many things and talking up a storm. Some and I mean only a few of his new words are baseball, "What's this?", wow and sauce (applesauce). He is stacking legos and blocks. One his focuses lately is dropping the ball and kicking it in mid bounce! That is his absolute favorite thing to do and finds time to concentrate on it a ton! We have family coming to visit again and cannot wait to see them! I cannot believe he is getting bigger!
