Art Show @ FUMC Preschool

Joel's school had an art show last night to display some of the art they have done thus far this year. The theme was 'A Bug's life'. The hors d'oeuvres were gummy worms, bug ghram cracker cookies, and more bug snacks. It was fun. Here are a few pics.


The bug take home project. Each child was sent home with 3 small paper plates and asked to make a bug. There were alot of amazing bugs!!


Joel's is the lady bug. We glued felt to the plates and stuffed the bottom plate to make the lady bug puffy. We covered the other plate with felt and used brads to make moveable wings. This was a fun project!


Joel's Polar Bear project.


Joel's proud to be an American project. He is pround to be an American because he can play with Autobots and Transformers. (imagine that)


Joel's class made aliens. His is the one in the middle with 3 legs.


Joel's turkey is the one facing the right.


The entire school's bugs. Each child had a bug with their face on it. The teachers and staff did an amazing show putting it together.


Joel sitting on the pew waiting for us. I had put texture paste in his hair to make it stand up...and he pushed it all back down..except the pieces in the back lol

Spring is here!

Long time no post, so I have some good stuff to share.
Happy St Patrick's Day!

Joel has come to love Barry's favorite Christmas treat...the Orange Chocolate Orange. So when Barry pulled the Orange Chocolate Orange out of the stocking, Joel said "Daddy, I'll share with you"... Kids...aren't they great lol

We spent the day putting together Transformers, cooking and taking a few naps. We had a Merry Christmas. We are looking forward to exciting things in 2009! Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year!!
God Bless & Love,

Christmas Program - Christmas Around the world

Joel's first Christmas Program was last week. He held the stage down in his area...he didn't sing and barely moved. His class was from Hawaii and sang a Hawaiian Christmas song.




Who was the guy from Star Trek that also did Rainbow Reader on LPB...is Joel trying to be him??


For PawPaw.....you always ask for one of me...here is one that his half decent! Go Barry!

Getting our Christmas Tree

This year Joel's class took a field trip to Curry Christmas Tree Farms in Start. Barry went with his class and was impressed with their operation. We decided to get a tree from them this year. It was so fun to pick our tree, play and have some warm cider. This was right after we were at Biedenharn, hense the dress clothes for Joel.


Joel by the pond...there are normally ducks, but it was chilly, so I guess they were all hanging out somewhere else.

Us with our tree just before we tagged it....Dad took the pic...finger in the flash style.. lol

A few pics of the most beautiful sunset I have seen in a long time









And who can resist the barrel train!!


Isn't that the most amazing color ever!



The decorated tree!

Christmas @ Biedenharn

Two of the cutest kids in the world. I swear this melts my heart every time I see it. Harley and Joel are the funniest pair of kids ever. If you only knew the mischief that was behind all this cuteness. About 20% of the time its like DeDe and I have twins lol.


WHERE DID MY BABY GO?!?!?!?!?!?


I can't even believe...this is my baby..... He is adorable though



Joel and Brooke. They have been pals since they were in the baby room at FUMC.

How you know that you are tired...

I had made Joel a snack....and he was quiet...I walked into the living room and checked on him...apparently he was tooooo tired to eat.

The rest of our Colorado Visit

In the field behind Ms Fay's subdivision is a really fun 4wheeler trail. On the trail one evening we saw some deer and a fox....We went back to get the camera and the deer were still there. The fox was not. Here are some really pretty deer.








Joel on a little ledge at Crested Butte....we went sledding again.. I'll save you *joy* of seeing more sledding pictures.


Joel and I and our little bitty snowman.


Joel serving the salad at dinner....he was really good at it. He had a blast!


The Birthday Group! We ate Dinner at this fab place...and although the food was good, the company was better.


Barry and Ms. Fay
