Air Museum

Today we visited the Air Museum. Joey had a blast! He just kept saying "WOW... look at that one!" They also had a small plane and helicopter on display for kids to sit in and play with the controls... needless to say, he thought that was pretty cool.

Here's Joey hamming it up for the camera...

Another picture Mom? I have places to go, people to see...

Ready for takeoff...

The joys of potty training!

Well, I'm excited to say that we have not changed a dirty diaper in over 2 weeks! Joey is doing awesome with potty training. We've been using pull-ups at daycare and big boy underwear at home (although he still wears a diaper at night). He's been on and off for several months but it's like something just clicked and all of a sudden he decided he was ready. I am so proud of my little Jo Jo!!!!

Memorial Day Weekend

We went back to Minot on Memorial Day weekend to visit family and celebrate 2 very special occasions... Adrianna's 2nd birthday and my dad's 60th. Yes, I said 60... can you believe it! Dad, you don't look a day over 40! : )

On Saturday, we headed to the lake to see the Belzer clan. The weather was beautiful and we all had a really good time. As always, Denese fed us very well and Joey had a lot of fun seeing grammy and papa and playing with Tori.

The rest of the weekend we hung out at my parent's house. We celebrated Adrianna's birthday on Saturday night and my dad's on Sunday. The kids did a lot of playing and the adults did a lot of eating. We had the BEST desserts... in fact, Josh and I are still talking about the awesome cake my mom made on Sunday.

Here's Joey testing out Khai's old bike... he loved it but can't quite figure out the pedals yet.

He liked the big boulders at the camp site and had fun searching for snakes... good thing he didn't find one!

Tori was so good with Joey and he had a lot of fun playing with her at the park.

Spring is here...

Where does the time go? The last month has been busy, busy, busy. During the flood, we moved everything from our basement up to our main level. Since I am a bit of a neat freak, the clutter was driving me crazy! So the past month we've been busy moving stuff back downstairs and trying to get everything organized. Joey has been a great help through it all... I put stuff in boxes, he takes it out.

Here are some pictures from Easter. The weather was beautiful so we were able to take Joey to the Children's Museum for their annual Easter egg hunt. He quickly filled his basket with eggs and was happy to trade them in for a goody bag at the end. After that, we went inside where they were making hats, painting faces and coloring easter eggs. We all had a lot of fun...

March Madness

Life is finally starting to get back to normal this week. Josh and I returned to work and Joey was happy to see his friends at daycare. Mother Nature seems to enjoy throwing us one curveball after another... only in ND are you forced to fight a flood in a blizzard! I've never seen anything like this before. We are so thankful that the river is finally receding and the snow is slowly melting.

Here are a couple of pictures from when my parents came to visit a couple of weeks ago. It was my mom's birthday so us girls had a full day of shopping while the boys hung out. Joey bumped his head on the end table and insisted on wearing a band-aid on his forehead for close to a week. See what happens when you leave the men in charge of a 2 year old... I'M ONLY KIDDING!!

Joey likes to snuggle with Grandma...
