Recently we moved Josie into her "big girl" bed and new room! She is taking the change fairly well, she loves that she can climb in her own bed and read books whenever she wants! And we were blessed with a few "warm"days last week so we ventured outside to play in the snow. Josie loved rolling, falling and making snow angels in the snow. It was quite a challenge getting her to come in the house after an afternoon of outdoor fun! Now its back to being cold and she begs to go outside! I'm trying to figure out how to add a video to the blog of her making snow angels, hopefully I can figure it out!

Christmas--New Years

O.K. So I've really gotten behind on this blog thing. Zach told me I needed to get some pictures in, and fast! So to the left is a picture of me at 5 months, I'm almost 6 months now. We had our ultrasound last week and everything is looking good...and we're going to wait to find out if we buy blue or pink! But the baby is healthy and doing great! I'm feeling it move and kick more and more everyday and Josie is so excited! She's going to be moving into her new room this weekend and new "big-girl" bed. She can't wait!


These next few pictures are from our weekend in Chicago with Bryce and Lindsey for New Year's Eve and Day. Zach worked up the nerve to sing some karaoke and we got to see the Winter Classic of the hockey game played on Wrigley Field. That was really cool!

Josie and her sweet cousin Sophie are playing with their new Christmas presents.

More Christmas photos--Josie had such a fun Christmas this year. She understood who Santa was, but she would not sit on his lap and let me know this several times; "I not sit on Santa's lap" Which was just fine! She did wave to him, though! And she got so many great presents from grandparents and aunts and uncles--she's definately spoiled!

Bathtime is always one of her favorites--she loves the water!

Josie's Halloween!

We had such a fun Halloween! Josie was a fairy princess and loved being all dolled-up! She's definitely a girly-girl! We travelled to grandparents, aunts and friends homes for lots of candy and treats!

Josie's Fall

I'll get started with a few pictures from Josie's 2nd Birthday. We had two celebrations for her. I know she's a princess! The first was Sept. 14-she loves Elmo, so it was an Elmo party, of course! The second was actually on her birthday (the 23rd) and it was at Chuck E. Cheese. It was our first experience and what a doozy! The other pictures are from fall: visiting Uncle Bryce and Aunt Lindsey in Chicago, pumpkin carving and other fun fall picures! There are some other pictures of our fun tailgating for Iowa Games, both Zach and I celebrated our birthdays during Iowa games. And Zach turned 30 this year!!

Welcome to the Turner's blog

Well, I'm new to this, so bear with me! The Turner's have a lot to be happy about. We have a beautiful little girl, Josie. She's the light of our life! She just turned two and is definately giving us a run for our money! She talks non-stop and is learning so many new words everyday! We're also in the thick of potty-training right now and she's a pro! Another reason for our happiness is that Josie is going to be a Big Sister!! Yes, I am expecting in May. We are thrilled to add another little sweetheart to our family, and so is Josie! Zach and I are so blessed with our family and can't wait to share some of our pictures of all our adventures! Stay tuned...
