Been awhile

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile not much is really new here. Just busy taking care of my crazy 17 month old. Hoping to start potty training soon! We'll see how that one goes! Joseph is learning new words each day. Is favorites are "pwease (please) how (help) bad boo (bad boy) daddy, ma ma, gapa (grandpa) and his new favorite one is the good ol "no no no no no" he used to just shake his head no but now he will do both. He says a lot more words but that's what he says the most. Oh he is learning "oh man" ha it's pretty cute! He will only eat things now if he has a fork but its funny because he will try with the fork and then eat it with his hands. But he's learning.

it's been awhile

Tanner and I got rid of our Internet so whatever I do is on my phone and it turns out I can't blog with pictures. So here's just an update on how much Joseph is growing up.

Joseph being a goof with daddy's hat haha he put it on himself, (before we took the binky away)

Joseph took one of my crochet hooks and was picking up honeycomb with it and eating it. It was funny

Just a nice day that Joseph wanted to go outside, but wouldn't walk by me had to be in front of me just all around the cul de sac it was cute. I wish it didn't snow anymore so we could do this more.

Hi my name is Dani and I have a problem, I still sleep with a stuffed animal, it actually was comfortable for me when I was pregnant ha Tanner doesn't like it lol. but mine is the big giraffe (my favorite animal) Joseph kept taking it from me so I gave him two little ones. still not good enough he took mine away haha

Joseph with his puppy Scout, he was dancing to the music.

I had to get info off of the stroller to get the parts to fix it and once I got off the phone I came back to this. haha

haha we had to get a picture of Joseph and his goofy hair (i think this is the only picture I have with my hair brown)

This was funny, Joseph thinks he's a dog, like seriously will eat off the ground on purpose and pant and crawl around, Mitch (my father in law) took a leash and put it on Joseph and he started walking around like a dog it was hilarious!

Joseph grabbed a handful of ice from Mitch's cup it was hilarious, but I'm sure it helped him out so much with those dang molars coming in.

I crocheted this for Joseph for valentines day. he loves it! I'm glad haha.

anyway can you tell we love our boy? he's getting so big.

Tanner just got new hours for T-mobile 10 hour days 4 days a week so I get him for 3 days! wahoo!!! can I just say how much I love having him home? and no more getting home at 11:45pm and he'll get off at 7:45 so home around 8ish! wahoo. well not else is new. My birthday is coming up I'm going to be 5 3/4ths haha can I just say I wish I had a real birthday every year next year though I'll finally be 6 haha. Anyways everyone have a good day and week! I'll try to be better at blogging promise.

Binky bye bye

That's right I finally took Joseph off the Binky

let me tell you it hasn't been easy peasy but it had been better then I thought, the worst night was the hardest and I still have to have him cry himself to sleep. *sigh* it's hard especially when I hear "mamamama" :-( lets hope for better people. Boy do I have a love/hate relationship with them.

update

well with lack of time and Internet I haven't been able to blog.

So here's just an update.

Christmas was a BLAST!!! Joseph was spoiled a lot (thanks to D.I. and getting great deals on toys. But his all time favorite was the one from "Santa" we actually had to hide it in order to get him to open any of his other presents.

Tanner was good to me and got me great gifts my all time favorite is is my Jesus statue. :-)

Tanner will hate me for this picture but it was got in the moment

he was very happy I got him the Big Bang Theory and Madden 2011 game!!! he was SO happy about that! all in all it was a great Christmas :-)

Joseph is growing more and more, he knows when to say thank you, even though it sounds more like "ga gaa" but he knows the syllables which is great, and all we have to say is Bronco's and his hands are up in the hair and he's yelling random stuff haha.

We love how big he is getting, its exciting but sad all at the same time.

So in actuality I am not a fan of new years resolutions, its really just another month with a different year to me, but I'll always continue my new goals in life.

Oh and I am all of a sudden a crocheting fiend, I LOVE figuring out new things to make, I learned how to read patterns, however I don't know all the steps so its a struggle, but my next projects are those cute crochet animals, and I find a TON of free patterns online, I'm excited, and a friend of mine kind of inspired me to make my own Stockings for next year I'm excited!

Our Christmas letter...

Merry Christmas!

This year as sure been a fun one! Tanner and I have been married for almost 2 1/2 years! Crazy how fast time as gone by! Well we still live here in Nampa own our own home for about a year now. trying to spend as much time together as possible!

Tanner is working a TON. Supporting the family by working at T-Mobile's call center. Idaho Power got rid of all their meter readers so Tanner had no choice then to find a new job. He is also going to school full time, changing his major like most college students do. Fine by me as long as he figures it all out in the end and gets a degree :-) When home he loves spending time with us and reading with me. Or playing any football x box games. Family always come first no matter what. Tanner and I teach Primary together. It has its ups and downs but we're enjoying the extra time we get to spend with each other in church.

Well I (Dani) spend my days chasing our little 1 year old! I'm lucky enough to get to stay home with Joseph. With Tanner working nights I find myself sometimes feeling lonely and longing to have a 2 way conversation. I'm excited when Joseph really talks. I have been into crafting a LOT lately, finally learning to sew (somewhat). Also baking, trying new recipes for dinner and yummy goodies. Is it bad that when I make dinner and I don't think it looks good I won't eat it but will give it to my husband and son? my bad!

Joseph is a blessing to our family! He has his own attitude and isn't afraid to share it with the world. He turned 1 on November 9Th, I can't believe how that fast went by! He started to walk at about 11 months and now runs everywhere. He's such a busy body I don't think he EVER just sits there. He is VERY independent when he wants to be. When ever I try reading to him he takes the book away sits a distance away and rambles to himself as if reading it. He has been talking lots more but his FAVORITE word is DOG yes dog or doggy, he'll say it over and over again. It's a good thing our dog D keeps him company. When Joseph gets mad at us it never fails that we find him cuddling with the dog. When eating snacks it never fails whether he's in his highchair or on the ground he's there always giving half of his food to the dog. It makes me wonder how different his personality would be if we didn't have our dog. He for sure is a mama's boy. But loves giving kisses to anyone and everyone. He knows how to do a few words in sign language as well. He's a smarty pants!

Well I hope you guys all have a wonderful Christmas. We love you all very much and miss everyone!

Love,
Dani, Tanner, and Joseph Barker
