Jo's 1st Gymnastics Class

So Joey had her first gymnastics class with Daddy on Saturday! She totally looked the part in her cute little leotard! She liked the class and didn't scream the whole time which is always a good sign! I used to teach this class at our gym and at the other gym I worked at, so it was fun to watch for a change!

Here is Joey stretching....

She loved when Daddy would rock her back!

Here she is on the trampoline. If you are wondering what all the white dots are in these pics, it is chalk that flies around in the air of the gym all the time! This may be why my allergies are going crazy! Anywho....she loved the trampoline! She doesn't know how to jump yet, but we are working on it!

Here she is on the bar. She had a hard time holding on to the bar, but Daddy was able to help out, and she liked it!

Towards the end Jo was getting a bit distracted...not quite sure what she was SUPPOSED to be doing here :)

All together it was a fun class, and Joey had a great nap after! We can't wait to see how this upcoming week goes!

Friday Night for the Stouts :)

This past Friday we wanted to get Joey a soccer ball, so we decided to head over to Dick's sporting goods in Allen. There is a cool park right by the store that has a child size train station, fire station, bank, and gas station. It was pretty cold, so we didn't stay long, but here are some pics!

Here's Joey waiting on the train :)

This is Joey looking out the bank window....

and here she is at the ATM...I wonder how much money she's got :)

Don't forget to get some gas! It's cheap at the park :)

There is also a hedge maze at this park. Johnny would hide and pop out when Joey came around the corner. She thought that was great! Here she's saying "Daddy????"

We did get Joey's soccer ball after the fun was over. She has loved being outside and all we have is a basketball, so we thought she would love this! We got her an Adidas ball with Pink on it....that's right folks, I said PINK!!

Ist Appointment for Numero Dos!

So today was my first visit to the doc for Stout Seed #2! This is the appointment where you go in, get weighed, pee on a stick, they tell you "yes, you are preggo", you get your blood pressure taken, then you give blood to the lab for testing. Sounds like a blast right? This is why Johnny sat this one out! It's more of a formality than anything.

They also tell you how much your baby will cost based on what your insurance will pay. Talk about sticker shock :) I know it's worth every penny though :)

Anywho, my official due date is June 9th (my mom's bday), but she already scheduled me for a c-section on the 2nd of June! Funny story. All the babies in our family are April and June babies! My grandmother is April, my Uncle is April and my mom is June, I'm in April, and my sister is in June, Joey is in April and Stout Seed #2 will be in June! CRAZYYYYYYYY!!!

My next appointment is October 27th. From there they will set up a sonogram, and once we see the heart beating, we will be able to release all these posts and tell everyone we are PREGGO!! Can't wait! I will also start belly pics once we see the heart beat :) I know everyone is stoked!!

New Toys and a New Room...Oh My!!

So after bath time, we always throw a diaper on Jojo and let her play a bit! Tonight was extra special because we brought up some new toys that were given to Joey from some friends at the gym! This is a Beauty Shop, and it is so much fun! Joey let me play with her hair and even put rollers in it :) Here's some pics of the fun!

Answer the phone Joey :)

Who is it??

So cute!

Once we were done playing with our hair, we went onto the nails :) This is super fun too!! There are 4 colors, a nail file and buffer! We had a great time!!

Trying to figure it out....

I got it! The paint goes on my toes like Aunt Becky told me!!!

Now put the brush back in!

Here are some pics of Jo's new room! It is no way near done, but this is a good start! We are planning on getting her new bedding that is more kid fun! We found a cute set, that I know everyone will love!! We will be ordering it next week!

Here is her toy trunk and her beauty parlor from above.

This is the view from the beauty parlor corner.

We are planning on getting her a chest of drawers, finding another place for the desk that's in the corner, and I'm thinking about some fun artwork a la Zip! The creative juices are flowin...let's see what happens! We are planning on moving Jo in over Christmas break when daddy is home to monitor naps and such! That's it for now!!!

Mily's Bday Party :)

So this Sunday we went to our niece Mily's bday party! Joey had a great time as you can tell from the pics below!

Here's Joey and daddy climbing the rock wall! PS, I just LOVE this picture!!!

Here's she is in the Foam Pit! She didn't want to get out, but mommy wanted to go to the trampoline!

Here we go! Jump, jump, jump!!

Uh Oh! She fell a lot! The good thing is that she got back up and kept going! That's our girl!

This Saturday Joey and Daddy are starting a class together at Eagle's Wings! This is the gym I work at and Uncle Bret owns! Here we are practicing the balance beam :) I can't wait to see her in an actual class and believe me, I will take tons of pics!!

Now let's practice with mommy :)

Yummy Ice Cream Sandwiches

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves! YUMMO!!

Lovin' This Weather!!

So the weather has been great here in McKinney, Tejas! We have been taking advantage each day when I get Joey from Miss Holli's house! Here are some pics :) Joey's favorite outside thing right now is to play with the basketball. We roll it and she chases it, picks it up, drops it, rolls it down the hills, and more! Enjoy the fun!

She kept throwing her water down...grrrrrr! She of course thought it was hilarious!

Joey has a hard time changing surfaces. This is one of the reasons we are going on more and more walks with her. She gets mad when we don't help her off of steps, but we know it's helping :) C'mon Joey, you can do it!!

Once she finally made it down into the grass, she found all sorts of fun things in the field next to our house. Here is a big green thing :) They were having a staring competition!

Here's another green thing?!? Not sure what these are, but Joey hasn't been electrocuted yet, so I guess they are ok??

We also saw a plane the other day and Joey loved it! It kept her attention for as long as we could see it!

Today we were hanging outside, and Joey has decided that the curb is her favorite seat.  I think she likes it because she can sit and her feet still touch the floor!  I know the feeling Joey :) Mommy likes when her feet touch too :)

Awwwwwwww!

Getting distracted during our little photo shoot!  Focus Joey, Mommy's over here!!!

This is a classic modeling move...the over the shoulder look!  I love it!

We were heading back into the house, and Joey kept telling daddy "no ball".  She didn't want him to help her :)  And so it begins!

Again, we are really enjoying this great weather!  We are hoping it continues...we are having so much fun outside!!!
