Plan B.

Yea! JD and Jessie just might have done it... a shirt other than the Farve Jersey!! This is Joey's new love!
We had perfect ice on the pond all through the winter, and this week the weather took a turn and warmed up (i'm not complaining!). We weren't able to play boot hockey on the pond for Joey's birthday party, but Grandpa hauled snow to make a small sliding hill, the boys shoveled, and played hockey in the driveway.

Derek and I tried shoveling the water to the edges on Friday night to help it freeze, but the middle was so deep, mother nature just couldn't fix it.


Even the grandma's got into the action!



Here's Joey and Zach heading down the hill!



Even cousin Madi came up north for the party. She was a hard core sledder!



The boys, checking out the status of the pond.




Mathew (4), Rob, Erik(3), Zach(soon to be 3), Joey(almost 3), Derek(not 3), and Levi(3).



It was so beautiful outside, the kids were jumping around the deck, enjoying the sunshine!



Even baby Natalie came. We curl with Natalie's mom and dad, and she also goes to day care with JOey. It was very important to him that she be there!



Joey loved his hockey DQ ice cream cake!






We survived the party... but we're tired...




Baby Emma Padgett came to the festivities too! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and was able to come. It was a very successful party. JOey is still sleeping, he fell asleep in the car on the way home, and i'm going to put my feet up. I hope pretty soon, not every picture of Joey on the blog will be featured with him in his Favre jersey.. lets just say he's a little attached to it. Pick your battles right??

What a wonderful birthday party...I'm so sorry we had to miss it! We would MUCH rather have been at the party than in AZ, but it couldn't be helped! :( And we also missed seeing Madi and Emma...dang!! That girl will be in college before I get to hug and kiss her! Hope you are all recovered and rested up....for the NEXT big event! Miss you guys.....HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY, Joester!

Way to make sure everyone knows you aren't sensitive, Dad. :-)

Awesome party Joey!! Maybe one of these years you and CC can be at eachother's birthday parties. And I think that ice cream cake looks deeeee-licious. I also think your mommy should get to eat all the leftovers by herself at night when everyone is sleeping.


Maybe you'll get a new baby sister for your birthday??? Now that would be cooler than any jersey.

Miss you!

Looks like so much fun! It's too cute how Joey loves hockey and his jersey. Already into sports? Hopefully playing them and not watching on t.v. too much!
