Joel, Jenn and Jaydon

First Annual Lobpries Reunion

2010-07-13T19:29:00.000-07:00

The First Annual Lobpries Reunion was held at Balcar's Camphouse in July of 2003. Jaydon was 1 and 1/2 years old.

Getting ready to leave the house (Myatt Lane, EC). Jaydon is wearing a shirt that Mema made for him.

We had just arrived, and the belly is already sticking out...I think that's the biggest it got!

He loved to have the hats pulled down really low to his eyes.

No hat, rubbing the belly.

Looking at cousin Avian....such cuties!

Taking a rest

Paw Paw Bo putting Jaydon in the tree for a picture.

Say "Cheese"....I think this really turned out well.

Love the dumptrucks.

Love the ice even more. Sharing with Paw Paw Bo.

Again with the ice..I directed him to our cooler because he was letting everyone else's ice melt.

Someone has driven up and Jaydon is going to check it out..

It's Aunt Devon!

Must have changed clothes...so we had to get back in the tree?

I stopped taking pictures..If I know me, I ran out of battery because I don't think ahead to charge the thing.

Second Grade Certificate

2010-07-06T13:05:00.000-07:00

Jaydon's Second Grade certificate - We were so proud of our man! Can't believe he's going to be in third grade...so difficult to be happy and sad at the same time. He had this posted on his blog, but then asked me to put it on this one.

Arnold and Waylon Easter 2009

2010-07-01T11:55:00.000-07:00

This is the first time Arnold met his cousinWaylon. They really got along well! Uncle Barrett gave Arnie a chewie also, and they shared for a while. This look was the longest he's ever been - it was right before his first haircut. Miss all of that color!

Christmas at Nonna's 2006

2010-06-30T19:49:00.000-07:00

Christmas at Nonna and Popo's...Jaydon's patiently taking the requested picture in order to open his presents...he looks so sweet! I loved his little long-sleeve shirts...(2006, Age 4)

With Friends

2010-06-30T19:40:00.000-07:00

Just hangin' out at Nonna's with friends: Chloe and baby Julianne. I know Tommy and Monica were there..I think they were babysitting, but I'm not 100% sure. (2007 Age 5, I believe)

Christmas Card 2004

2010-06-30T19:25:00.000-07:00

This is a Christmas Card that we took but never sent out. If you truly know me, you're not surprised. The pic is taken in Mom's backyard. The pic is kind of squished for some reason...doesn't look like that on the file....maybe will work on fixing it later...

First Father's Day Card

2010-06-30T19:08:00.000-07:00

Jaydon gave this card to Joel on his first Father's Day in June 2003. We took the picture at Nanny's Birthday party which was held at Aunt Mary Ann and Uncle Ed's in Brazoria, I believe. Jaydon was in the Toddler Class at Methodist, and his teachers made this card - it was attached to a piece of dowel rod to make a fishing pole. So Cute!

We Can Fix You

2010-06-30T18:51:00.000-07:00

Jaydon stayed the night at Tanner's house and Tracy shared these pics with me...the looks on their faces tells me they may have gotten into a few things. As I type this, I think this was the night that Tanner cut his arm in the shower, so they had to be moved to the other bathroom, and then Jaydon proceded to pull the shower curtain down. This is based on my memory of how Jaydon told the story, so that account could be totally inaccurate ;) (2006, Age 4, I believe)

Catfish For Dinner

2010-06-30T17:05:00.000-07:00

Jaydon is at a catfish farm in El Campo last summer in 2009 while he stayed with Grammy, Grandpa, and Uncle Will. He had a new pole, and they ended up catching a few, and I think she bought some to cook also. I just remember her saying that he insisted that they fry fish for dinner and he wanted to catch it. (age 7)

Ride 'em Cowboy

2010-06-30T16:47:00.000-07:00

Joel took Jaydon to the San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo to see Uncle Will show his tractor in Jan or Feb of 2010. Jaydon came home with the black cowboy hat from Joel, some boots from Grammy, and convinced Grandpa to get him a wooden rubber-band gun (I don't think he had to try too hard!) (Age 8)

First Haircut

2010-06-30T16:36:00.000-07:00

Here is Jaydon (a year old) getting his first haircut at Mrs. Teresa's. Dad held him the whole time, and the red lollipop came in handy toward the end, until it got hair on it. Jaydon did really well, and always loved getting his hair cut there. As he got older, he would insist that I sit in the waiting area (not by him since he was a big boy) and he would come get the check from me so he could pay her himself. I have more pics somewhere from this to add later.

No new babies, just cleaning/archiving

2010-06-29T20:42:00.000-07:00

I haven't had a new baby, in case you see these posts and wonder....It's still me, Joel, and Jaydon, with the addition of our puppy, Arnold. I'm just doing some cleaning out and decided to post some of these pics I found and scanned. More to come..will probably be out of order when I post, so I'm working on changing the times that I post so it will archive it in order when they happened. I'll do the best I can to get them in some kind of order because I found a website that will print your blog into books - you can designate to have the whole blog, or you can choose a date range. Thought this would be cool to have books printed by years.

First Fishing Attempt

2010-06-29T20:06:00.000-07:00

Jaydon was about two, I think, in these pictures. His Uncle Kovar had taken him down to the beach at our bayhouse in Port Alto. Kovar was watching him while he "fished" with his Spongebob rod and reel with Plankton as bait. Of course, he's in his rubber boots! I think this would have been the summer of 2003.

My Great-Grandma Mema

2010-06-29T20:05:00.000-07:00

Jaydon is with his Great-Grandma Mema. We are at Mom's house, and Jaydon is in his white Polo onesie with the dark navy stripe on the collar (a gift from Pawpaw Bo). I have to put the description in b/c I can remember most of his clothes and toys and don't want to forget them - because we definitely don't have room to keep them ;) You can tell how new he is - he still has all of his dark hair, his hands are really tiny, and I can tell he still has the little red spots on his face. His nose is so cute in his tiny profile! I think this is a good picture of him and Mema.

Great Times This Past Weekend

2009-08-17T19:28:00.000-07:00

I must say I have not had so much fun in quite a while....if you were there, sorry for the dancing. I just let the beat of the music carry me....lol. Happy to be able to celebrate with everyone at Jayson's graduation...did i forget to mention how much fun I had? Much thanks to bartender Scott! Anyone with pics, please email to me...jenngreen26@gmail.com. Would love to see all of them....Muchas Gracias! Also went to the horse races in Houston with Rodney. Had a great time with more great friends (and new neighbors to be)....had never been....a little more fun than the dog races in Corpus from what I remember when I was in jr. high....I got to bet this time...only lost $20..not too bad. =)

Back on the Blog Wagon

2009-08-17T19:25:00.000-07:00

Well, did not know that there were that many people looking at our blog. I know when I began that I was not really concerned whether people were reading...i was just typing more for myself. But then I kind of got sidetracked and made the excuse that no one was reading anyway...Thanks for letting me know u do! Really made me feel good. Some works in progress this week for Jaydon's blog...

Testing....

2009-06-25T06:44:00.000-07:00

I made this scrapbook page on a different software, and wasn't sure if I would be able to post it...I'm kind of proud of myself!

WOW!!

2009-06-24T22:46:00.000-07:00

Am I out of the loop! I had no idea how many people that I know have blogs.....and how long it's been since I've seen everyone. I admit, I felt kind of silly at first, when I started doing this (all of 2 or 3 days ago), but now I know I have some catching up to do. Actually, I'm glad to see that everyone is posting about their family and what's going on. I have tons of photos of Jaydon that I want to post as a way of scrapbooking them, because I'll never get around to using all of the ACTUAL scrapbook stuff that I have to make a scrapbook....;-( Anyway...I'd better get to bed...Day 5 coming up in oh, about 3 hours...legs hurt today, but surprisingly I am wide awake now....

(p.s... the time is wrong for some reason...it's 12:50. I know, Joel, I know. I am going to bed.

Day 4

2009-06-24T08:53:00.001-07:00

Got up again at 4:45..would have kept sleeping if I knew how to turn off my alarm correctly. Arnie was there again...go Arnie! I had to bike today...toe is hurting from yesterday. 45 mins on the bike was great; however, I think I almost fell asleep or as close to it as possible....Very tired today....guess that's why I keep putting off much-needed cleaning. I have been taking things to Goodwill...feels good to have things gone, but I don't even feel like I've made a dent. Things keep appearing out of nowhere...or all of the little nooks and crannies that I pack them away in???

New Blogger

2009-06-23T21:27:00.001-07:00

Jaydon officially has his own blog and his own email address (created to start the blog). He was thrilled to be sending emails to Joel, who received and responded right away. Any other fam members...watch out if I have your email addresses, I'm sure he'll be sending soon. He's already made a list of things he wants to talk about: Star Wars, Transformers (seeing the movie tomorrow), Pokemon, Bakugan, and I'm sure this will be the place to tune in for Christmas wish lists! He created his own Star Wars Movie using a camera and a toy R2-D2....check it out...coming soon! (As soon as I have time to sit down and find the cables...)

Early Bird....

2009-06-23T18:15:00.000-07:00

Well, I got up at 4:45 and went to work out at 5 a.m. Thank you to Arnold who was there to keep me awake upon hearing the alarm...he's sacked out on the couch now. He had a long day at the groomer's, and then a stop at the vet to check on the cost of "The Surgery", and then to PetSmart to pick up some food. I'd say it was an Arnie Day. Pics to come soon....

Summer Resolution

2009-06-22T18:20:00.000-07:00

Well, Joel and I joined a gym. I walked on the treadmill for 30 mins. on Saturday....took a day off on Father's day, but walked for 40 mins. today. They have a childcare room and Jaydon had fun. I plan to keep posting my workouts on here as some sort of documentation....I know it's boring...just skip over it!

Impulse....

2009-06-21T20:25:00.000-07:00

I just visited a friend's blog, and on the spur of the moment, decided to create a blog. We'll see how it goes. Jaydon is kind of excited...he wants to add some things-He says he wants his 'own' website.

Chuck E Cheese!

2005-06-30T18:14:00.000-07:00

Jaydon LOVED going to Chuck E Cheese's but HATED talking to Chuck E Cheese. We did get him to sit here to take this picture - the only time. His favorite thing was to crawl in the tube chute playground. I'm pretty sure he's about three here, based on the haircut, so it should be 2005.
