Steve's parents and brothers came for the weekend and we seriously went ALL weekend long! I have a new love and appreciation for my little boy the I didn't even know I could have. I now call him Hero! He went from car seat to stroller to high chair to car seat ...Any of you who know Joe are probably thinking this is not possible! Well I didn't think so either! He pretty much had 1 good nap in 3 days! 
On our way back from Alcatraz. We live in such a cool place! It was our first time going there and it was well worth it. We really enjoyed it!
Joe liked the boat and thought he could stand all by himself and it was hard to convince him he wasn't stronger than the rocking boat. 
We played video games, and I knew my sweet daddy would really appreciate this game of golf made in 1928, I sucked at it, but Steve got the ball in the hole on one try! That's my man!
The fam at Alcatraz, we all looked so cool with those earphones on. 
Steve's brother, Mike, helped a performer on the pier and it was pretty cool. The performer said he needed 4 skinny tall guys and I KNEW Mike would be picked out like a sore thumb. Some of his family calls him the spoon. He is a stick and is the guy whose head is dead center in the picture. Kind of cool, all of the chairs got taken out from under them and they stayed strong.
Joe riding his first horse, such a cutie! He enjoyed it and wanted to ride two times, his grandpa spoiled him and let him!
Still happy, loving his grandpa! Joe was really attracted to the mustache. When he found it, I let him touch it and he shrunk back like it was going to bite him. It was hilarious! Grandpa Steve is so cool and helpful, I was sad to see him go!
Mom, don't leave me here! 
I know, it's fuzzy, blurred, and my boys are looking at another camera, but hey I like it anyways! Last but not least, I really owe my Joe for pulling through and being so awesome!

You better watch out...you better not cry...Santa Claus is coming to town
So we dress up all 3 boys to be matching little elves and what does my little elf do? Go crazy, he was full on arching his back, kicking and screaming. I had to sit on Santa's lap to get one ok picture...Poor boy...but really sweetheart, mom is too big to be telling Santa what she wants...We'll attempt again next year :) Now that I have blogged a week's worth of sooo much fun, we are heading to Valencia for a week of fun, food, manicures, pedicures, and a wedding! YAY!
Mama's Boy is an understatement and some fabulous cooking!
So I needed a picture with Porter Bear and this is my son when I'm holding the baby...When the baby is all by himself, Joe was fine! Poor Joe, he is stuck with his mom ALL day EVERY day and doesn't know what to do when someone else is stuck with her! Steve's dad makes the best coconut shrimp and steak on Christmas Eve, and I begged him to make it for us. It was so yummy, I'm not going to even tell how much I ate and mooched off of my sweet husband's plate or Brad's plate :) Thanks for the food! I gave Joe some lemon at the table and everyone was dying laughing, he caught on and started fake laughing and imitating all of us for about 5 minutes. It was hilarious. He is quite the entertainer!

Keeping up with these 2 boys!
Luke and Joe are 5 months apart. Luke is walking and Joe flies after him. We called Joe SNEAKY the whole trip. He would all of the sudden be across the room in no time. We baby proofed Grandma & Grandpa's with gates and latches but I let the boys go for the stairs now and again. Uncle Mike has a big golf ball bucket that the boys loved. I love my little eskimo, he looks so cute and I can't believe he's almost 1!
The party starts!
YAY! Steve arrived along with Jamie, Will, and their 2 boys Luke and Porter...Porter was blessed on Sunday so we took the opportunity to take a family picture. We were all there and it was so fun. Three grandsons in a year and 3 months. Wow! Don't they look too young to be grandparents?
So relaxing...
Both of Steve's parents work at schools so all day every day, I got to do whatever I wanted...We played with CJ and what a blast that was, he has pretty much the coolest house, Lacy you can come help us when we are looking for a house. Give us all your good ideas! We found puppies with grandma by Costco and we shopped pretty much til we dropped, or should I say til Joe dropped! He was a good sport for me!
What a fabulous present!
We just got back from St George on Tuesday night and are leaving again tomorrow for Valencia...Grandma & Grandpa Jurca's house was fantastic. They got Joe a ball popper and it is so much fun for all of us! I highly recommend it! Steve's mom is an all star English teacher at Dixie Middle School so we went and visited her and she did the rounds at the school with Joe. It was pretty funny...A girl behind me said, "O that girl has a real baby!" While her friend replied, "It must be her little brother!" I guess I looked like I belonged in middle school, thanks to my height :) Uncle Brad found great ways to keep baby Joe out of the cupboards...vaccuum and taking him for a whirl in baskets. Thanks for all the help!
