Fun with Joey & Belle

New Christmas photos

We're on the ball this year. Even before December began, we got the kids in for their Christmas photos. Christmas cards might get out before the New Year. :)

Checking in with Grandpa Brad

ScoobyScoobyDoo

Joey loves the Scooby Doo song by MxPx off the Scooby Doo Soundtrack. Tonight he and Belle danced away to the music, and Belle showed a little love at the end.

I wouldn't eat there.

Joey: Mom, can I clean the picnic table...

 

... with my underwear?

 

Kelly: Sure.

Splish Splashin Away

Kelly caught Belle dancing on the water table. The song playing was "Catch Me I'm Fallin'," and coincidentally, fallin' is just what Belle did.  You'll see in the video she's O.K. However, I'll be sending Kelly to Compassion 101 classes soon. :)

Celebrating "no accidents" at Disneyland

Joey was promised that if he didn't have any "accidents" that he would get to go to Disneyland.  He'd gone at least a full week without any accidents, so we made good on our promise.

This video was shot towards the end of the day.  Both Joey and Belle were great the whole day, although after this parade was over they were both pretty tired.  You can't tell here, though.  Joey was dancing right along with the parade.

We also took pictures that I'll share if I ever transfer them off the camera. Believe it or not, it's easier to do video these days.

Spin the Belle

Today was Daddy Duty day.  Kelly is away on a girls' weekend full of shopping down in Palm Springs, so I've got the kidlets.

 

We had a great day, and even though it was windy, it was still nice enough to play outside.  Joey and Belle sometimes fight over the swing, but at this moment, Joey was kind enough to let Belle sit in it.  That is, so he could spin her like a top!  She loved it, though, giggling before, during and after. 

 

That word she's saying is "cheese."  She thinks I'm taking pictures. :-)

I'm sad, Daddy.

Kelly went for a walk today and took the kids.  When they got back, Joey was sitting on the floor in the living room watching TV.

 

ME – Did you go for a walk with Mommy?

 

Joey – (in a low voice) Yeah.

 

ME – Did you have fun?

 

Joey – (pouting) Yeah.

 

ME – What’s wrong, Joey?

 

Joey – I’m sad, Daddy.

 

ME – Why are you sad?

 

Joey – I’m sad because I want to go see Carol.

 

That story should make Carol's day.

Visit to Carol's -- meet Rocky!

We had a rare Saturday where we didn't have any other obligations, and we haven't been down to see Carol in awhile, so we hopped in the car and headed down to Huntington Beach.  

Since we last visited Carol, she's added a new member to her family.  Rocky is a jack russell terrier and a great little dog with a very calm disposition.  He's a great companion to Babe, loves kids, and loves to give kisses!

Belle, Joey, Rocky4

Thanks, Carol, for letting us crash your pad for the day.  We had fun!

Belle's New Ride

Justin helped teach Belle how to ride the quad yesterday.  It took all of about 10 seconds for her to learn how to push the pedal by herself.  Steering, however, may take awhile.  So Justin helped by walking with her and keeping her on track.  Check out the video -- and listen at about the 25 second mark for the giggle.

Her Papa, Grandpa, and Uncles would be so proud.
