Ice Skating Here We GO!

So we went with the fam to Centenial Lakes to go ice skating in 20 degree weather. Because what else do you do when it is warm out in Minnesota?

Here is what Joseph wore...

1 hat

1 t shirt

1 thermal shirt

1 hooded sweat shirt

1 pair of thermal pants

1 pair of jeans

1 pair of bibs

1 jacket

He also wore mom's gloves (mine) because his kept falling off (to all of my 3 readers, can someone please invent a pair that stays on? Thanks!)

I kid you not, after all of this when we were standing by the lockers just before we were about to head out on the ice, Joseph says "Poo Poo mama". But thank goodness that also means pee pee to him and we were all good. Phew. I still like diapers for that reason.

They have these wonderful contraptions for toddlers that you can put them on to push them around on the ice and we belted Joseph in with my scarf. Now I was minus gloves and a scarf but with all the action I really wasn't cold. Aah the things we sacrafice for our children:)

When we got out on the ice Joseph was in heaven. I though he might be scared considering he sometimes is fearful of merry go rounds but he giggled the whole time, especially when his Papa spun him around. What a great day.

For your pure entertainment

Dan was getting a new pair of glasses and Joseph wanted a pair too so we let him try some on. I don't think I have laughed that hard in a while. He is eating a pretzel is you were wondering what that is. Doesn't he look like a little old lady or Edna Mode from the "Incredibles"? The next time I am sad I am totally going to take him shopping for women's glasses.

Um... Shave it dad

I love this picture.

X-mas Family Pic

Ok, so this all we have to show for a family picture this Christmas. The last family picture we took was the one where we were at the fair behind the corn dog cut out. I think I want the next one to be a little more glamorous. Did you notice how I got the shoe off of Jogi's foot?

Oospsy

Here is Joseph with great-great Aunt Hallie. Yep, she is Great too! Seconds after this picture was taken Joseph slid off the table he was sitting on. We caught it on our video camera also. It was a teeny weeny itsy bitsy bit funny. He didn't get hurt. As Joseph would say "oospsy daisy"

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!
