Think Spring!!

Joey kept his baseball hat on about 1.5 seconds... He has been sick for the last 4 days, but i think we are on the mend. He had been waking up pretty much every hour with a bad cough. Had pictures with Rhonda yesterday with the bunnies, he wasn't too thrilled and not feeling so good but we think she worked her photographing magic! We are all going stir crazy with cabin fever. Derek has been putting and chipping in the living room for over a month now. I need some grass outside before i have divots in my carpet.

Fun in the tub

My wild child loves to go on his tummy in the tub, and stick his face in the water. He comes up looking like Santa Claus!

Happy Birthday Derek!

Happy 33rd birthday on March 17th Derek! I love you so much and have loved every minute of our crazy adventure called life! From calling on domestic disputes at Meadowbrook apts., to getting stung by jellyfish in Cozumel, missing stray bullets at the apt. in Arizona, eating at Kansas City BBQ in San Diego, just watching golf on t.v. on a Sunday, to raising the most beautiful little boy I've ever seen.... All things I would have never done had I not met you. XOXO Shelley, Joey, Winfrey, and Bentley. Happy Larry Bird Birthday!!!

Lindsey's Wedding Shower

Lindsey and Brian prepared their delicious spicy "hot pot." It was very delicious!

Grandpa entertaining Joey...
The Grandma's and their boys...
Congrats Binz and Brian we are looking forward to the April wedding! We missed all those that couldn't be here.. Lin, Dan, Maras's, the other Feroni's and Jeffery!

We've determined the best way to clean Joey up after meals is to just stick him in the dishwasher!!! J/K

Finally a warm day!

I love how Joey looks after he wakes up from his nap. His hair is always crazy! After daddy (who is on midnights) and Joey woke up, we went hiking at the Laurention with the Johnson family. It was very fun! Even the dogs had a blast,.
The dogs slept the rest of the afternoon once we got home. Bentley struggles, he doesn't know how to pick the snowballs out of his feet...because he's from Arizona. Someday maybe he will catch on!
Julie, Kevin and Leo Johnson.. Thanks for the hike guys! Leo calls the dogs "Bow."
