Dallas Jay's new favorite thing to do is to go with Poppa and daddy to feed the cows. He gets so excited he starts talking about it on Thursday and can hardly sleep Friday night. He is usually grumpy in the morning until we tell him he can go feed cows and ride in the tractor with Poppa.

Well our family made the big move we actually are a truckless family! We decided that with the way things were going with the truck(lets just say at 200k+ and needing oil every fill up, things were not good) and the cost of fuel prices and the cost of a new truck we decided to buy a VW Passat Wagon. We were really excited when after hours of online searching and research we found the perfect one in our back yard! It has leather, heated seats, dual exhaust, cd player, wood grain, etc! Luckily Dallas jay loves to ride in it and he can ride in Nanna'a truck if he needs a truck fix, Ace too!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to everyone! We're gearing up for me to finish out the semester. Jyl, Dallas and I have all been sick lately, I think it's the end of semester blues!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were grateful to see you all. As you can see, we snuck away for a little R&R in our second favorite resort town. It was a blast.

Dallas is graduating to his big boy bed here pretty soon. It's hard to believe he's old enough for that!

Well, we love hearing from you all, and know how busy the holidays are, so Happy Holidays to everyone. May we remember to keep the meaining of Christmas with us all year long!

Ace's new Job

This is Dallas Jay after his party in his new pajama's riding his new cruiser from grandma and grandpa Bailey, he loves it!! Ace has a new job at ISU as an accountant. We are so excited. He starts on Thursday and we can't wait! It was really hard for him to leave Ireland Bank, but we know it was the right decision in the end!

Dallas Jay at his turning 2 birthday party! He was so excited about his new toys. The funny thing that happened was Ace and I have been working so hard to get him to say thank you and he just would not. When he was opening his presents Ace asked him to say thank you and he finally said it as clear as a bell. That is one of the highlights in a parents life!!

Mister Cool Joe Himself! These past couple of weeks have been fun. We finanlly finshed our basement and moved out of our storage unit! Yeah! Pictures later. Ace built some serious storage in our garage. It's funny because other then Holiday decorations and Ski gear, we don't store much, but we have tubs full of baby stuff, that someday (who knows when and no ideas on when you think it should be) we will hopefully put to good use!

Again going to the camera!

Those are his cousins Elle and Paige at his side.
