Vintage Cowboy Party for the new sherrif in town.

Just inpectn' my badge and steed

Pinchn' a bit of a frostn' between the gums before it's time to dig in. Not bad, not bad...

My mommy made this cake (she was so proud of it). Apparently, it's the first non-square, non-round cake she's ever made. I must say, it was delicious!

My first sugar high; I LIKE IT! Happy birthday to meeeee!!

Giddy up! Gidon's turning ONE!

All of this attention is a little overwhelming, folks.

Too much Veggie Tales

Look deep into the T.V. set and repeat after me..."Lima beans, callard greens, peachy keen, Veggie Tales!

Who needs toys?

As soon as we pulled his new "big boy" car seat (front facing) out of the box, in HE went!

Think, PINK!

We're having a GIRL!

After visiting with our midwife this evening and carefully examining our little one on the screen during the ultrasound, there was absolutely NO "evidence" of a boy so our natural conclusion is... a baby sister for Gideon!

I'm 19 weeks along and feel great. Our plan is to do another home water birth. It was a wonderful experience for both Jim and me.

Merry Christmas

Our first family Christmas. Gideon is 10 months and "little baby" is 4 months along.
Grandma Pam and Lynnette spent three weeks secretly sewing pj bottoms for the family. We opened them on Christmas along with our coordinating t-shirts. The boys have snowmen and the girls have angels.

Enjoying my new play table. It does so many neat things!

Grandpa Mike and me.

I'm getting the hang of this "unwrapping" thing. This is fun!

I did it!

Gideon, Tuba Warrior! We love this video :)

Our neighbors, Chad and Heidi, gave Gideon some really special gifts. Heidi and Gideon are checking out his space aged light stick!

Candle light service at our church.

Thanksgiving

Yo, Yo! Come check out my rockin' first Thanksgiving. I spent lots of fun time with my friends and family. I ate some good grub, played with some toys that challenged my baby brains and supervised the creation of the largest snow ball EVER.

I enjoy crawling; EVERYWHERE! Muhahahh!

Sweet potatoes!

After dinner couch time.

Checking the clock to see if it's time for dinner...

Playing with Gideon's new toys.

Snuggling with Grandma Sherri.

Eskimo kisses with uncle Todd.

Jim, Uncle Todd and Austin rolled this snowball until it got to heavy to push.

Auntie Sissy, open wide. I want to be a dentist when I grow up. I see you have some Turkey stuck between your teeth. Are you brushing regularly?

Sleeping Position

Betcha can't do this for 10 hours. Jim and I snuck into Gideon's room last weekend to wake him up and found him folded in half sleeping on his foot!

I turn my back for a few minutes...

Gideon managed to pull the ceramic bowl off the shelf, climb in it and scoop off the electronics all in a matter of minutes.

Baby on the way

We're having another baby!

This is our first visit to see our midwife, Toni, the same lady who delivered Gideon.

She's holding Gideon as he reaches out to touch the screen. The kids will be 15 months apart.

Baby due June 1st.

WWE Champion!

It's been way too long since we've posted to our Blog. I'm still trying to figure out all the bells and whistles. I've been pre-occupied with scrap booking over blogging however,

with constant stream of guilt trips from our dear newly married friend, Ted... well, you all get the picture.

We dressed up Gideon for our church fall fest; smeared massage oil all over him and custom made his WWE belt. Isn't he the cutest "mean" guy you've ever seen?
