Bowling

Feb. 25, 2012

I know, this should've gone under the February 2012 section, but the internet was being slow and didn't feel like uploading any more pictures under that post, so here's another one. 
  We went bowling with family and ate dinner at the bowling alley(they have some awesome tasting burgers) for some weekend fun.  Even though Quinn isn't big/strong enough to bowl, he still wanted to participate. 

February Fun

We got a lot of pictures of Quinn this month(don't we every month?) and enjoyed every minute we spend together. 
     I'm sure you know this, but when a family member is going to be gone for a long period of time, we tend to make every event a special event, along with cherishing the time we have with each other.  February turned into a lot of cherishing and loving because Joey is leaving March 5 for Basic Training and he'll be gone for 4 months.  After it was all done, I think, we should be like this ALL the time, but of course we (I'm) not.  Everything else in life jumps in and I start to focus on all the other stuff that needs to be done, even if it's not as important as family.  Good thing we have times like this to make our priorities straight.  Family should always be number one!

Beautiful Quinn.  In the top left corner, Joey was sleeping
 and Quinn was trying to lay down with him.

Quinn Loves Blueberries!

Quinn at some freeze-dried Blueberries and they made a mess all over him.

This picture is with the flash on.  You can see the blue from the blueberry a little better.


Vegas Trip! 
Feb. 17-18, 2012

 To celebrate our anniversary early and have some time together, Joey and I went to Las Vegas for the weekend(Friday and Saturday).  We had plans to go out late and have fun together, so we decided to take a short nap to have energy to stay up.  Well, our short nap turned into an all night sleep.  We didn't do a whole lot of anything-but hey, we still got to spend some time with each other.

We love each other so much, we're willing to make silly faces with each other and take pictures of them.  :)

Drive home.  I needed one more picture of Joey.
 

I made this book out of a deck of cards and gave it to Joey the end of February.
I believe, doing something like this for someone you love so much
 helps keep the relationship strong.
*Thanks to Pinterest and The Dating Divas, where I got this great idea.

I sat Quinn at the big kids table at Grandma Kathy's house to eat
Goldfish crackers, and he was able to balance himself to sit and eat.

We love our little Quinnster!

Family Pictures Feb. 12, 2012

I wanted some family pictures before Joey left for basic training in March, so we took our own pictures in our home.

Our final selection! 

A New Year! January 2012

We started out the year with some fun things.  I cut my hair, about 6-7 inches off.
 Quinn started balancing on his own and actually took steps up the stairs(not just standing by them). 
Quinn tried his first sucker, which was made by Grandma Kathy.  Each time he'd see me with a sucker, he knew what it was and wanted mine.

Daddy and Quinn fell asleep together in there team shirts.

December 2011

December 2011 brought a lot of fun, crafts, and pictures.

Quinn tried climbing up the stairs this month.
He can hold onto things with one hand and stand.

Quinn got a fat lip by falling on a sliding door.
His red shirt says, "Lil' Oinker" which is perfect for him right now.

Harmonie is my oldest sister and I think she is
36 yrs. old(that's bad of me to not know how old she it). 
My dad made this chair for her when she was 2 years old.

Grandpa Davis and Quinn cracking nuts.
Joey, Quinn, and Jeremy waiting patiently to open presents.

Quinn and Nicole with there new Steelers shirts made with the applique by Nicole(yes, I did that).  Joey got one just like it.

12-27-2011 Quinn got into Kiza's dog food and water. 
He was having a blast!

This is my new shirt.  I spent $0 on it and that is because I made it with material my mom let me have.
 I am very proud of this shirt.

Quinn still loves the baby wrap at 9 months old.

Kiza decided to "play" with a pillow and I
couldn't resist getting a picture of her with her mess.
