Skipping a Step

Well, I think he had decided that he is going to skip that whole sippy cup nonsense and go straight for the good stuff. We were playing with his big blue bucket at the beach yesterday and he picked it up and tried to drink out of it. Here are some videos of him with his new "talent". He really is turning in to that Brawny Boy! We figured Grandma would be very proud!

He's Walking! - Almost

He can use his walker toys to walk around the house now! We are so excited.... this is him walking to his daddy.

Here is is walking to mommy! If you look close, Clovis is obviously jealous. =)

Trip to Oklahoma August 9th -16th 2008

Okay Okay.... I know you are thinking it. Wow it is September and she is just now blogging about a trip they took almost a month ago? I know it's sad.... but here it is anyway. We "recently" took a trip back home to see family and meet a new addition to the Martyn-Farewell/Pagel clan. We had a such a good time as you can see from these pictures. I will let the captions tell the rest.

Little Michael Ian.... isn't he so cute and cuddly!

Mommy and Baby.... are they just sweet!

The Guys-Grandpa Suiter, Erik Jr. and his Daddy in front of the dorms (Couch Center) I lived in my freshman year at the University of Oklahoma. We happened to go for a walk at the University the same weekend they had new freshmen moving it. Wow! I was so excited to be in the middle of it all. Moving in day was really one of my all time favorite days.

Michael- Kelsey-Me-Erik Jr. - The boys were pooped, but we had to stop and take a picture of the new mom's together at our old stomping grounds. This is one of my favorite areas at the University. I love how quiet it is, and the ivy that covers the walls.

The Johnson's on a Bench! Awe inspiring! I am so lucky that my husband is cool enough to take boring walks around places that are this hot! I swear it was 110 degrees in the shade. I loved every minute of it. It was great to have my family together at a place that means so much to me. I never feel like I am really home when we go back to Oklahoma until I am in Norman.

Snuggle Snuggle- this time Erik J was comfortable enough to get down and really play and explore while we were there. So no I wasn't doing this the whole time. Thank you Lord! =)

Do you like Sea Food?

This was so cute. He was really reasoning it out! Where did my ball go? How am I gonna get it back?

My Tired Guys- he never sleeps with Daddy- he is only for fun time!

What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?
