Weekend Trip

Last weekend we took a quick trip and detoured to the shore for what we thought would be 5-10 minutes. But it ended up being an hour or so with Joey and I all wet. Once Joey saw the waves hitting the beach he was off and running. He was not very happy at all when we had to leave.

He had absolutely no fear and pretty much just ran right into the water and waves. (Which incidentally scared the poo-poo right out of Bill and I, we went to school with friends whose father drowned in the ocean...so we are both a little leery of the undertow)

He loved trying to grab the waves and having them break on his feet

The wave heading for him here was HUGE....but he loved the water and thought it was great when it hit him.

This is a funny picture, you can see Joey is pointing at something, well that something rolled right up and soaked us both : )

He also loved standing there and letting his feet sink into the sand and then pulling them out.

A cute pic of father and son.

We met this very nice gentleman at a Chili's restaurant and Joey struck up a little friendship with him. He would talk to him when he went by and give him high-fives. Much to our delight and surprise he gave Joey the hat you see him wearing and so Joey paid him back with a big hug and smile. Joey may not be a perfect talker yet, but he seems to have a personality that helps a lot of people "speak his language" anyway. Joey loves people and is so affectionate to everyone he meets. (Can you tell his Mom is writing this, sorry sometimes you have to brag a little. God really blessed Bill and I with an Angel as a Son)

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everybody! We had a great, relaxing day. Here is Joey eating a chocolate bunny!!

His stuff from the Easter Bunny!

Seeing it for the first time.

Loving on his new lamb who he calls Baa Baa

It was so cold we decided to setup an indoor egg hunt and Joey had a blast searching for and finding the eggs and goodies.



Then we packed up and went to Grandmother and Grandaddy Foxes for a delicious Easter dinner. Joey liked "tickling" Jeff's beard.

Giving Martha a hug

Cuddling with Grandaddy

Of course it wouldn't be Easter unless we stopped in to see Nana. Joey loves his Nana so much he cried when we had to leave. Playing with the talking bunny he got at her house along with a ton of other goodies.

Giving out more kisses.

A beautiful family

Visit with the Easter Bunny

We took Joey to have his photo taken with the Easter Bunny at the mall and he was so excited. We also took him again this year to get his picture taken with live bunnies, if you would like to see how they turned out.... the proofs should be up tomorrow at www.memoriesportraits.com , go to previews and enter session ID: Zanoni033107 ( the Z must be caps). They do a GREAT JOB and we would recommend them to anybody!!

Waiting in line, the excitement building....you can see he is rearing to go.

Finally its our turn and he takes off like a flash.

And lands like this in the Easter Bunnies lap...I think the entire staff did a collective "awwww". Joey is real into hugs and kisses right now.

We could hardly get him to stop talking to him and face forward for the pic.

This kid loves the holidays!!!!!!!!!

A Special Gift

My Aunt Martha came to visit us on Saturday and as usual she brought Joey the BEST gift! He has had it with him almost every waking moment since she visited. Last night he even took part of it in the bathtub : )

You can see in this pic he was way exited to get his Pooh Wheelbarrow! He was moving so fast I couldn't get any focused pics.

Showing Martha how it "works"

Having fun with the honey pot and squirter. (PS - the child is dangerous with that squirter in the bath)

Showing off his garden gloves .

An awesome pic of Joey taking Martha by the hand to show her his life size bunny in the kitchen. What a great picture. We love you Rick and Martha!!!!!!
