Random pics....

His onesie says "Here comes trouble"....luckily he's not really trouble :)












"Mom..put the camera away and get me dressed!"

Hockey!

Here are a couple of pictures from the Chicago Hounds game that Rob, Justin and I went to on Saturday night. It was fun! Justin watched the game the whole time. He liked the movement and his eyes would follow the players up and down the ice. When they scored and the lights and buzzers were going off his eyes got really big, but he never cried!

Justin and I are going to another game tonight with Uncle Dave and the boys!







Daddy and Justin
















I look horrible here, but I love how Justin is watching the ice!

Oh the weather outside was frightful....and so were the roads!!!

Well, we did get the snow we were promised. We even got ice before the snow!! Lucky us :) I woke up this morning and it took me 25 minutes to get Justin to day care (normally less than 5 minutes away). From there I proceeded to try to get to work. After about 90 minutes and not even being close to 1/2 way there I gave up and turned around. Traffic going the other way was not bad at first. All it takes is one person in a Honda or a Geo getting stuck to screw up traffic! I was ready to run them over with the Yukon!

There was one lady in particular who got stuck right in front of me when she tried turning right onto a road that a plow had JUST left about 18 inches on snow blocking the way....yes; she was in a Honda Accord of course. Anyways, she figures out that she is stuck and gets out of her car and proceeds to take 2 HANDFULLS of snow away from the front of her car, gets back in and tries to go again. I would have tried to help her if there was ANY way she could maybe get out of it, but she needed a tow. No amount of hand shoveling was going to work. I think it was her winter in America so she probably has never seen snow! Oh well. I worked from home today and got a lot done!










Rob had to find the shovel in the shed. Quincy and Tucker were running hot laps around the shed!











Trying to remember how to run in snow again!















Tired out!
















Our neighbor Theresa who came over and helped Rob shovel!


















Our neighbor Scott...our hero of the day! After the plow went by and left wet snow at the end of the driveway he was a lifesaver!!!

New PJ's and first art project!

Rob and Justin and I are hoping for the snow storm that they are promising for the Chicago area. I am trying not to get excited though because usually when they hype it up, we don't even get a dusting. Maybe we'll wake up to a winter wonderland???










I LOVE these new pajamas! His little diaper butt looks so cute in them!


















Justin's first art project that he made at day care!

Lunch with Erica

On Wednesday Justin and I went to lunch with Erica. It was so good to catch up. Arizona is too far; we think that you and Indy need to move back to Michigan (or better yet Chicago!). After lunch we went shopping. We were looking for a nativity scene, but all we could find is one that did not come with a baby Jesus!!! Hello? We didn't get it, but maybe I just need more religious education classes to understand why? It was great seeing you Nelko....I miss you!

We were planning on visiting the Fossitt's and meeting Jalen on the way home, but with Justin and I both being sick we decided to keep the cold bug out of their house. Hopefully we can find a weekend to meet up soon!

Justin's new Bumbo

On Sunday when we went to buy Justin a bathtub he fit into, we found a Bumbo too! He loves it! He likes to sit up and look around and this is perfect. He's still low enough that even if the dogs tails are wagging they wag over his head :) He loves being around the dogs....he watches everywhere they go.










Justin and Quincy













He looks so old!!!!

Bath time!

Bath time is Justin's favorite time of day...he LOVES them. Mommy and Daddy love giving him baths because he is always all smiles and talks alot. As a bonus, the bath makes him so tired. He gets his bath, he is cranky for a few minutes and then he is out like a light; no bottle needed!

Grandma Metzler gave Justin a bath everynight we were in Bay City. He made a mess on the counter since he likes to kick and splash so much! We bought him a new bathtub on Sunday because as you can see from the pictures he has outgrown this newborn one!

Thanksgiving Pictures

5 Generations

I LOVE these pictures. Not many people get the opportunity to take a 5 generations picture.

Grandma Bowen (Justin's Great-Great Grandma) turns 89 this week....Happy Birthday!!! I wish we could be there for the party.....

Sick baby...

Hello! I just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't forgotten about posting new pictures, it's just that Justin and I have both been sick since Wednesday. He wants to be held 24/7 so that makes downloading pictures a little tough! I will try to get some up tonight!

Hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!! This is my favorite time of year....Christmas Music all day at work! Justin likes dancing around the living room looking at the tree lights withe me singing Christmas songs too! So does Rob :)

More soon!
