She loves eating-messy like me too

Such a big girl

She wants to be just like her mother. I'm in big trouble.

More peek a boo

She loves to play this. I think it is soooo cute that she covers her face with her hand and still keeps her eye open to see. Wifey will start looking for her and saying "is baby E behind the couch, and baby E will actually answer her and say no" It's adorable.

Cute wife and child

Firepit

I bought one of those little firepits and baby E really liked it-A lot!

Peek a boo

She is so much fun now

Reading and Drinking water

The first thing she wants now everytime she wakes up is her sippy cup. She reads a lot. She has no idea what she is reading but she makes up the words as she goes and there is an aweful lot of cute jibberish going on.

New Camera

I got a new camera and therefore I have become camera happy. This camera is awesome and I have gotten some really fun pics that my other camera would not have been able to take.

Wrestling Team

We start with about 30 and this is what is left after everyone quits or gets kicked off because of bad grades. It's pretty frustrating to coach at this school but at least it makes a difference to the few that stick it out.

What Year Do You Belong In?

You Belong in 1985

Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.

What Year Do You Belong In?

Time off

I got a new camera which makes it a lot easier to get good pictures because it actually takes the pictures when I want it to. Baby E wasn't feeling very good today so I took her for a drive to a park up the road and she tried to get in the river. I think this summer should be fun because she might actually be interested in playing in the water. Last year, I tried to get her in the water and she became very upset. She and I will also be spending a lot more time together this summer as we will have our baby boy by them and I will be on Baby E duty while I am on paternity leave. I wish Baby E was old enough to go in my boat but I don't think she is yet. Hopefully, the new camera will inspire me to post more regularly but I promise nothing(for the 2 people that even look at my page:)

14 Months

My little baby is not really a baby anymore-she is now a toddler. She has so much energy I can't get anything done when she is awake and she demands my attention or else she gets upset. She loves to have me on the floor so she can stand up against me and read or just crawl all over me. She likes to put her hand in my mouth for some reason and really likes to be held and is finally starting to sit still when I hold her. She comes up when I am on my computer and just starts bangin on it but I can't always stop her becuase she is pretty sly. She loves blueberries and sometimes won't eat anything else and if she doesn't like it, she throws it off the tray. I can't believe she is growing up so fast.

Lake Billy Chinook

About a month ago I went on a camping trip with a youth group from my church and here are some of the pics from the trip. We went to Lake Billy Chinook which is supposed to be a great lake for fishing. I thought it was okay but got really frustrated at first because when I go fishing on Detroit lake I catch fish all day long but at Lake Billy Chinook I really only had luck early in the morning. In addition to fishing we hiked to the top of Smith Rock and went boating/tubing/wakeboarding. The fish above are perch which we caught during the day but that was more of a joke becuase as you can see, they are like 3 inches long. The other fish are kokanee which is a landlocked salmon.
