Officially a Big Boy!

On Sunday June 8th Joe turned two! It's hard to imagine that our little baby is now a big boy. It's been such a joy to have him in our lives. He's taught us how to have fun and how that, through God's strength, a parents patience supply can be endless. We love him so much and can't wait to see what he's going to do next. I love being able to stay home with him everyday. It's the best job in the world.



From this...



...to this.


We were able to go up to Michigan on the weekend of Joe's birthday and have his party at my (Julie's) parent's house. All we had to do was bring the cake because conveniently my brother, Casey's open house was the day before so we were just eating the leftovers from that. We got to eat in their new pole barn that my dad built and after a little of playing on the trampoline we went inside and did cake, ice cream and presents. Fun Times!


Aunt Sarah put those girlie glasses on him. But "Uncle Dude" (Ryan) taught him how to wear his glasses when they're not on his face.

The kid table at Joe's b-day party. Lot's of good food and red pop! Joe ended up wearing the pop all over himself. Hence why neither of the boys have their shirts on.

Joe with his Elmo Cake. He (and Brett) flipped out as soon as they saw it. They were singing Elmo's World all the time after that.

Happy Birthday Joe. Can't believe how fast its gone. We Love You!! Daddy and Mommy
