Josh with Dad December 2007

Iowa has the most amazing ice storms. I've never seen anything as beautiful, but it is so hard to capture what it really looks like on a picture. After the storm was over there was almost 2 inches of ice covering everything.

These were the best Christmas lights I have ever seen. The ice covering the trees would glow at night if there were lights nearby. This picture cannot give it justice at all.

The day after the storm John, Josh and I went on a drive. It was amazing. Everything was covered in ice. I've never seen anything quite amazing. The sun was out and everything was glowing. The ice was also falling over everything and you heard constant cracking of the ice as it fell over trees and buildings and they were enourmous icecycles.

Josh went bowling for the first time and loved it and new what to do right away. Afterwards he played at the arcade and retended to drive a car.

Everyday that we were in Idaho. John, Josh, and I went to play basketball. Josh's favorite thing ever is basketball. He has been obsessed with the sport since he was only a few months old.

I am always impressed when John plays any sport. He is naturally gifted. I think it's amazing how high he can jump. It's hard to tell but John is about 3 feet off the ground. I can only get about 2 inches.

Our 2007 Christmas Card. All our pictures were mailed to the wrong address, so we didn't get them until the new year. So, they will be sent out late. If anyone else has late Christmas cards send them my way.

Josh's 2nd Christmas. He loved opening presents. He loved the box's just as much as the gifts and learned how to say "box". Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Stephens Josh got his favorite movie, Cinderella. He can now say "Cinderella." He even quotes a few parts from the movie. His favorite part is to quote, "Oh, that clock." He thinks it is so funny.


Christmas with the Edwards Family. When Josh opened his first gift at the Edwards, Josh exclaimed "Oh Wow!" He was so excited. He still hadn't even opened the box. Isn't great how little kids love anything and get excited over just a box. Josh got so many fun things thanks to our families.
