So Big

Attack of the killer bee...oh wait, it's just Jo-Jo


This is our little Joseph. He is now 5 mo. old, and thinks that he can take big boy showers with daddy. His Grandmama' sent him a new towel, and it is adorable. I can not believe how fast the time goes by. It feels like just a short time ago I was giving him a little sponge bath, and now he goes crazy with dad in the shower.
Joseph is so amazing. He wants to do everything his brothers and sisters do. He loves to try and get the cars when he watches them play

Also Max, and Isabel are always talking, and singing so of course when ever he gets a chance Joseph is practicing his singing. I love my kids, and think that it's sad the way they grow so fast. I hope I can take every opportunity to play with them, and watch them grow.

One more project

New floors...We (dad, mom, and me) started on Tues. night, and finished Wed. morning. We love it! There are still some things (little things) to finish but those can be done when ever. (More paint)
Sister Crooks saw us in action Wed. morning, and I think she can confirm that I did help. It was a fun little project. Maybe some day I can put my skills to good use. Haha. Just the front room was redone, and no more carpet stains...
...woo hoo!

Black Mountain... Woo hoo

Well, well, well...
Yesterday we went to the black mountain rec center. We had soooo much fun!!! Tawnya and her kids got here on Monday, and just left this morning. I'm so sad. We really had a great time together, and wished we could live closer. Until we do... thanks for coming out to visit.

Here's Max and Aisake posin'

Joseph had fun too. Just smiling for the camera.

All the kids throwin' signs
Thanks again to the Toiaivao's for coming to stay and play for a few days.

Paint?

Here's the update on the kitchen...

... I started to paint, and we really like the color. So all I have left is the trim near the top of the ceiling, and then the ceiling of course. Thanks to my dad, we also moved the cabinets that were over the nearest counter. It really opens up the kitchen. I love it, but sweet Maurice is not a big fan. Oh well. I still love him.

Twister!!!

Looks like another exciting Saturday night at the Blackwells. Max and Isabel...
well mostly Max, convinced Reece to play some twister. I'm more than happy to call out the different colors, but I always fall on the kids when I play so no more twister for me. Haha.

Our first tomato

We had a few problems growing tomato's in Henderson...but all problems aside we finally have a nice juicy home grown tomato. The kids were so excited to see the small little plant grow, and grow, and finally produce tomato's. Yeah!!



Take a bite.

5th of July :0)

What a happy boy.

Little Joseph doesn't like the water very much, but didn't seem to mind today.

Grandma and Papa have a cool slide.
So Tired.

4th of July

We had a really good time up at my mom and dad's house. In the morning we hung out, and had a really yummy breakfast. Daddy was able to drive up and join us so after lunch we drove to St. George to have some fire work fun. My dad took all of us to see Wall-E...(kinda boring to me but the kids really enjoyed it, even Jo-Jo) After the movie we went to my uncle Steven's house to watch, and light fireworks. Tons of fun!

The table of fun...
The firework dance...
