Elvon and Joseph Spend quality time

Here is a picture of Joseph with his Great-Great Uncle Elvon on Christmas. (Yep, he is really Great!) Joseph calls him "Elbon". We definitely love him. This is where Joseph gets his long and lean features from.

Fairy Godmother

Here is Joseph with Erin, his Godmother. What a beautiful picture. I love how the light is shining down on them. That's because they are both so special! We had such a great visit with Erin and Bowen. I miss you Erin!

Do you want Ketchup with that?

Yesterday when Joseph was eating his very healthy and nutritious french fries (not), he kept saying "cockeye, cockeye". I said to Dan, "Dan, I think that he is calling french fries 'cockeyes'." Dan replied," No he isn't, he is asking for cookies." I said, "Joseph, say cookie," and Joseph replied "coke". Then I said, "Joseph, say French Fries" and Joseph said, "Cockeye". So the debate was over. Cockeye it is. And for your added enjoyment here is a googled image of cockeye. Enjoy ya!

BUTTS THE BUTTS

The other day Joseph and I were getting out of the car in our garage and I started saying "butts the butts" because that is what he always says even though I have no idea what he means. He started getting very excited and saying yeah "butts the butts", "butts the butts". I had no idea why he was so excited but as we got to the garage door I realized why. He wanted to "PUSH THE BUTTON" which is what I always say to him when I ask him to push the garage door button. It finally occurred to both of us that we each understood one another and we were so happy. So always remember to butts the butts and have a good day!

Born to be wild

Exhibit A.

Exhibit B.

Exhibit A. is what happens when your child is given too much Halloween candy. However it does make for a very realistic looking lion.

Exhibit B. is no exhibit really just my sweet little baby. Toodler actually.

And I nabbed the only picture! We were snapping away and finally got all of the cousins to sit for a split magical second. AH how I wish I could photo shop happy eyes and smiles onto their beautiful faces!
