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.
