Annual Family Picture 2010

2011-04-28T06:46:00.000-07:00

Here is our family! Chris, Joey, Michelle, Anna, Ricky, Kenny & Jessie

Long time no post!

2011-04-28T06:42:00.000-07:00

Well, I have not posted in over a year! Since being on facebook, it is faster to put pictures on there. But, here is a photo from Christmas 2010. The littlelest addition to our family is Anna Michelle born 9/11/2010.

Happy days

2010-05-19T08:19:00.000-07:00

Joey is very popular on our road. He is so loved! He actually has his own harem. They come over almost every day and walk him, feed him, change him and take him out to play.

Can you say spoiled??? Yeah!!!!!!

Its a Girl

2010-05-19T07:51:00.000-07:00

I have awesome news - its a girl!!!

A sweet little foot
This is a 3D image of the two little feet from the side.

Here is her sweet little face.

I can't wait to hold her, she has been kicking and moving alot lately.

I am 21 weeks pregnant right now. She is around 12 inches long.

She is due September 13th.

Joey crying

2010-03-27T15:55:00.000-07:00

Okay, I have a few people thinking Joey is always smiling. MOST of the time he is, but here is a picture to prove that once in a while he does cry :)

Joey getting around

2010-03-27T15:28:00.000-07:00

Also this past week Joey learned how to get up on all fours and rock. He is so cute :)

But, whenever he wants to get around he does the "Marine Man" crawl...... You know the one they show on tv when they are on their bellies going full speed with their elbows and toes under a barbed wire fence? Joey can go at full speed just like them!

And when it comes to the bottom of his high chair he would rather go over the bars than take the time to go around :)

Joey standing

2010-03-27T15:09:00.000-07:00

Joey is growing so fast, this past week he stood up for the first time all by himself right in front of Chris and I. And I managed to catch him on camera :)

Chris missed so many milestones like this while he was working two jobs when Jessie and Kenny were small. It is such a blessing we have a few more little ones to enjoy together !!!

2010-03-17T06:46:00.000-07:00

Joey spends a lot of time enjoying his jumpy. It wears him out too - and makes his little legs stronger. I wish they made these for adults - just think how much more fun it would be exercising in one of these!

2010-03-17T06:34:00.000-07:00

Joey is starting to get around really good now. He even helps me with the dishes :)

Baby on the way

2010-03-17T05:49:00.000-07:00

Seeing Double?? Yes! That is two cribs :) We are expecting blessing number five in September :)

Joey's First Tooth

2010-03-05T13:21:00.000-08:00

Today Joey got his first tooth!! It is on the bottom in the very front :) He is such a happy boy.

Joey cute pics

2010-02-27T12:20:00.000-08:00

These pictures were from January. They were so cute I just had to post them :)

See what I mean about his cute smiles - he makes any little problem I have just melt away :)

Snow Storm

2010-02-27T11:52:00.000-08:00

Little Joey loves Ricky!

This is the road entering our little estate. It was nice and slippery.

I thought of my dad when I saw this. It is our little country store, can you see the man plowing it with the antique tractor? The funny thing is you see this type of thing all the time here in Crossville. You see farmers on their tractors parked at the store almost as much as the pick up trucks!

This is what it looked like when I took the kids to the doctor before they sent out the plows.

Snow Storm

2010-02-27T11:40:00.001-08:00

These pictures are for my southern relatives - The kids did a good job shoveling our front walk. Jessie did the front porch.

The snow was very pretty. However the 15 snow days home from school were enough for me!

Then we had an ice storm. They are always so pretty, however, it takes about an hour to get into your ice sealed car!

Joey

2010-02-27T11:06:00.000-08:00

I love cute little baby toes! They are so precious!

Jessie plays this little game with Joey on the kitchen floor. She puts him in the
donut and spins him around - he really likes it!

Joey smiling

2010-02-27T10:53:00.000-08:00

Hey Grandma - thanks for the recliner!

You know, everyone always asks me how I can manage 4 children. How can you have a bad day when someone is always smiling at you? The "best" things in life aren't "things" at all, they are the ones you hold close to your heart - family. :)

Joey

2010-02-27T10:50:00.000-08:00

Lately little Joey is getting to moving around more and more. He loves to play with his toes :)

Joey after the remote

2010-02-24T10:30:00.000-08:00

Joey loves the remote - here he is coming after it.

Joey on the move

2010-02-11T08:04:00.000-08:00

I shot this video this morning of Joey. He is so cute! We were working on our valentine's and Joey watched us the whole time. So, I put a pixy stick on the floor from the valentine's to see what Joey would do.

2010-01-25T13:49:00.000-08:00

2010-01-25T13:46:00.000-08:00

Grandma & Joey

2010-01-25T13:42:00.000-08:00

This Christmas our family (well Chris had to work) drove down to stay with my mom in Florida. The kids had a great time visiting the family and going to see Disney! Here is my sister Mary loving up on Joey.

2009-11-27T06:07:00.000-08:00

Isn't this picture great! We had Thanksgiving dinner at Chris' mom & dads house yesterday. Yum Yum Yum :)

2009-11-23T10:24:00.000-08:00

I found my thumb!

2009-11-23T09:00:00.000-08:00

Good Morning!

2009-11-19T20:30:00.000-08:00

Can you tell he did something new and exciting! He rolled over all by himself and looks pretty happy about it too :)

2009-11-19T20:26:00.000-08:00

He is so sweet! He enjoys a cuddle listening to mommy's heartbeat after breakfast.

2009-11-19T20:23:00.000-08:00

Kenny loves being a big brother! He especially likes to cuddle with Joey.

2009-11-19T20:21:00.000-08:00

2009-11-19T20:14:00.000-08:00

Joey likes to bat the pooh animals on his little mobile. He is starting to roll over too.

2009-11-19T20:12:00.000-08:00

Too bad it is already dark out, so we will have to wait until tomorrow to break it in.

2009-11-19T20:10:00.000-08:00

I think he likes it!

2009-11-19T20:09:00.000-08:00

A real bow and arrow set!

2009-11-19T20:07:00.000-08:00

And a gift from Uncle Jim too.

2009-11-19T20:05:00.000-08:00

2009-11-19T19:53:00.000-08:00

Winter boots.

2009-11-19T19:50:00.000-08:00

On to the presents!

2009-11-19T19:42:00.000-08:00

From left to right is Tyler, Brittany and Tiffany. These are our great neighbors, that constantly look out for my little ones.

2009-11-19T19:40:00.000-08:00

Make a wish.

2009-11-19T19:38:00.000-08:00

Even Kenny is lost in thought, gazing at the glow.

2009-11-19T19:36:00.000-08:00

WOW! Look at that fire!!

2009-11-19T19:34:00.000-08:00

2009-11-19T19:15:00.000-08:00

Well, today is Ricky's 10th birthday. We had our neighbors over to celebrate with us. I can't believe he is 10, I feel so old! It won't be long and he will be driving, ugh.

2009-11-19T19:08:00.000-08:00

2009-11-19T19:05:00.000-08:00

2009-11-19T19:03:00.000-08:00

We made it :)

2009-11-19T18:56:00.000-08:00

2009-11-19T18:53:00.000-08:00

Can you see the river? On the right side here. That is where we are going.

2009-11-19T18:50:00.000-08:00

Joey is ready for his first hiking trip too.

2009-11-19T18:48:00.000-08:00

Ready to go!

2009-11-19T18:45:00.000-08:00

This is at the top of the trail.

2009-11-19T18:40:00.000-08:00

Last weekend we went to Fairfield Glade to go hiking. This is a steep trail down to the river. It is called the Overlook. Very beautiful !!

Halloween

2009-11-06T10:34:00.000-08:00

And of course here is the littlest one, not real happy about his outfit.

These are my three scary kids on their way to school. Aren't they cute!

Fall

2009-11-05T16:26:00.000-08:00

Well, the leaves are changing and it is getting cold at night. Tonight we are expecting a freeze and 60's during the day. Nice.

Joey one more time!!

2009-11-05T15:57:00.000-08:00

Here is the last video. Rather than do one long video, the three smaller ones load faster. This one is a close up. Remember, you have to go to my webpage to watch the videos.

2009-11-05T15:15:00.000-08:00

Here is another video of him playing :)

2009-11-05T13:44:00.000-08:00

Joey is now 3 and 1/2 months old - 14 pounds 14 ounces! Yikes! He is growing fast :) He likes to lay on his back and play with this toy. Go to my webpage to see him play:

2009-10-01T06:49:00.000-07:00

This video is of Joey doing his morning workout! He moves around so much now, it won't be long before he is up and going.

Baby Joseph

2009-09-30T16:13:00.000-07:00

Hello friends and family - I am back on the air so to say! It has been great having a new baby in the house. You forget how sweet they are:)

I took this small video this morning. (Click on the button with the triangle to play) He is so precious :) H is starting to talk to you and smile now. When we went to the doctor for his check up he weighed 12 pounds 11 ounces and he is already in 3 to 6 month old clothes.

Kenny

2009-07-19T07:52:00.000-07:00

He caught him!

Kenny loves the chickens! Here he is trying to hold one.

Then you take your favorite chicken "Pecker" for a swing.

And here is Buddy dog shaking.

Jessie with the camera

2009-07-19T06:59:00.000-07:00

Well, I guess we take close ups! This is Mr. Nibbles - the bunny.

Jessie

2009-07-19T06:56:00.000-07:00

Ever wonder what happens when a little girl steals the camera??? I guess we will find out.

Ricky

2009-07-19T06:54:00.000-07:00

Here is a recent picture of Ricky. He just got done mowing the front lawn - he really likes the riding mower!

Almost baby time

2009-07-19T06:51:00.001-07:00

The baby Joseph is due August 12th. What is your guess on when he will come?? I am writing them on the calendar so be sure to tell me! I say August 6th :)

2009-05-21T16:02:00.000-07:00

I really like this picture. Big brother Ricky is giving Jessie a ride. How sweet, these are the moments I really love about having a lot of children. They really do love each other and will have each other to lean on later in life :) God is good!!

2009-05-21T15:57:00.000-07:00

Kenny is so brave - we just took the wheels off and he is keeping up with the others :)

All the heavy rains made a gread mud bogging track for the kids to play in.

Kenny

2009-05-21T11:23:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we took the training wheels off of Kenny's bike. And away he goes :)

Ricky's New Glasses

2009-05-21T11:18:00.000-07:00

Well, after finding out Jessie had a vision problem we had the boys checked. Ricky actually needs glasses for reading. Isn't he cute :)

Pregnancy

2009-05-08T11:11:00.000-07:00

Well, I am 26 weeks pregnant and my little boy is growing very good. He is very active and loves to kick and roll. I decided to take the plunge for Mothers Day and get my hair cut! I feel light and free :)

Jessie gets glasses :)

2009-05-08T11:04:00.000-07:00

Jessie wanted everyone to see her pretty pink glasses with little pink rinestones on the sides.

Jessie gets glasses :)

2009-05-08T10:48:00.000-07:00

Recently we were all outside together and Jessie said "here comes Dalton" (our neighbor). Well, Chris looks over, and I look over and guess what - it was Ricky! So, we had Jessie's eyes checked and her left eye was not really seeing anything but being lazy.

She just got her new glasses - isn't she pretty!
