So... my lack of blogging lately bothers me. Not that I've ever been one to blog consistently. My lack of a computer makes it difficult (not that I don't use Robert's computer almost everyday)... I guess I just figured that I know how frustrated I get when others don't update their blog; I'm guilty of the same crime. So I thought I would make up for it by posting our favorite March photos and videos (which I may not attempt again until I have MY computer... it takes too long using Robert's computer without any of my software).
Photos:
March began with Joel and I going with my mom and her friend to the "Hippie Gypsy" store down by ASU. No, neither my mom nor I am hippie; my mom's friend Linda is the hippie.
Kicking it in our cool shades.
Even at a young age, he has very particular tastes.
Stocking up
So cute, what else is there to say?
Sitting by himself (he has been doing it for a couple weeks now)
Happy FREAKIN' Easter.
Baby Shower for Lisa and baby Taylor!
(I was in charge of all these goodies!)
The baby maker
The headband I made for a diaper cake
(To his father's disapproval, my son makes a lovely model)
Joel... the nut
Our Ward's Primary Bulletin Board that I made
(ps. It is all HAND MADE from paper. No cut-outs or decals or kits here!)

Two fondant cakes I've made recently
The red one is our Primary birthday cake.
The white and black is one I made for my mom's 50th birthday
Videos:
Everyone loves a laughing baby. I guess that is why we love Joel so much!
He was angry one day, so I put him in the swing so he could learn to deal with it. Within a few minutes of me putting him down, this is what I looked over and saw...
My favorite part is how he kicks his feet to propel himself upward...
This video is freakin' hilarious. Robert and I couldn't stop laughing...
(notice how Joel listens to my voice but ignores Robert's)
The final video (but a favorite)
You may have heard me or Robert talk about it; you may have read us blog about it; now you can finally SEE it for yourselves. Turn your head to the left when you view this video.

Leigh I LOVE your cakes and the bulletin board is amazing! Look at you being so crafty! Looks like you guys have been doing lots of fun things. I can't believe how big Joel is these days!
Robert and Leigh both grew up in Mesa, AZ. Robert served his mission in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil while Leigh did humanitarian work in Beira, Mozambique. They met in August of 2006 at a mutual friend's party; the first thing Leigh said to Robert was "shut up and kiss me!" in Portuguese! They were married June 2nd of 2007 in the Mesa temple. On October 8th of 2008, they were blessed with the birth of their first baby, Joel. On September 30th of 2009, they welcomed their second baby, Lucas, to the world. On May 25th of 2011, their third little baby boy, Daniel, was born.
