There’s a first time for everything.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a personal blog.  Jo Foto has been BUSY.

We have LOTS of new FIRSTS to share.

Pixie is now eating food!  And so far…

she’s not a fan of rice cereal.  Or peas.


This is my view at “work”.  Best view EVER.
Hi friends!
Jason and I are taking an adult gymnastics class.  I give my man mad props for doing this with me.  He’s the only guy in there, too.  Love you h-band!
She always gets LOTS OF LOVIN’.

And fun times with friends.

Pixie got her piggies painted for the first time.   It made for a mess on mommy.  Cute, cute piggies.

We celebrated our 3rd year Anniversary!  We went to the Kelton House where we said “I do” and toasted with our special flutes.  I love going back there.  It’s so very special to us.  I wore this dress to our wedding rehearsal and this is Jason’s wedding suit.

Pixie Pie helped Daddee wersh the winderz.

Pixie’s first time swimming!

And it was FREEEEEEEZING!
She participated in her first synchronized swimming routine.

All the awesome women in my family got together to do the Alzheimer’s walk in honor of my grandmother.

My cousin made us all these adorable “Team Betty Boop” shirts.  Grandma loved Betty Boop.  (Great job Ash…you sure are working for those Atta Girl points!)

Pixie is now officially a gym rat.  She goes with me to every workout.  She loves it at That Gym on Grandview.
She moves from the trampoline, to the yoga mat, to the jumper, to our trainers arms.  It’s her little routine.

When Daddee gets her dressed…he puts her dresses on backwards…

Happy Father’s Day, Daddee.

Our first Red,White and Boom as a family.  We joined the Abbitt’s for fun and fireworks.  And a couple of days later we went to the Gahanna fireworks with more friends and family.  She LOVED THEM!  It was so funny to see her big eyes watching the colorful bright display.  Even funnier to see her cheeks smashed with Poopa’s earplugs. (point and shoot camera)
I’m proud to be an American.  Where at least I know I’m free to show my cute bootie. 
First fireworks!And first Fourth of July.
OOOOOOOKay Mom.  I’m done with these pictures now!

She’s our little FIRECRACKER.

Kristofer’s graduation partay…

She loves her “Felucca” (as Daddee would say).I love Fiona’s smug mug.
Ha.  Tagan’s like, “hmm, that looks good, I’ve never tried that before.”

Pixie’s first visit to Scioto Mile. She thought it was hilarious. Slapping her little hands on the water.


I am ordering this in a large canvas. I AM SO IN LOVE!
Do you see her little bottom teefers TRYING to poke through?

My new thang…

..coming up with fun things to write on the Ikea chalkboard I got on Mother’s Day.  You’ll probably see lots more of these on my posts.  Just something fun.
