Indoors and Outdoors

The first half of October:

Joey loves when he and Tanner have matching clothes on. They both love their dinosaur PJs.

I can't believe what a handsome young boy my little Joey is turning out to be.

Tanner's hair looks extra red in these photos, but most of the time, it's just a very light brown.

A week after he tested for his green belt, Joey had his award ceremony where it was rpsented to him by Mr. Baker, his instructor.



Thought this was so cute, how Aiden and Joey were in the same position at the same moment.

We went out to dinner to celebrate their achievements. Elayne decided Joey was her boyfriend. He seemed okay with that. :)
I got a new motorcycle (new to me). It's a Kymco Venox. This is the day we got it ^. Earl and Joey are in the process of fixing it up for me, below, and repainting it.

Tanner loves getting to sit at the table like a big boy soemtimes.

More fun doing Joey's Backyard Safari missions. This time it was Rock Excavator.

Earl helping Joey identify his collection of rocks.

Tanner chasing squirrels.

Joey tried to climb a tree.

The Rest of September

Joey tested for his green belt in TaeKwonDo.

One day Joey got his kitty pet (this is actually my Pound Purry from when I was a kid, but he's adopted it, and renamed it) and Ramadi (the name of the orange monkey Angie sent him from Iraq) for Tanner to hold while they watched some cartoons.

My Junior Ranger

We spent the first weekend in September up in the Newport News area, visiting some parks for the junior ranger program. You get these missions to do and then you do them, and then they give you your Junior Ranger badge. Joey was super excited to do them.
