What Has Josh Been Up To?

Laughing!!!!

Laughing while eating.

Hanging out with dad whenever he gets the chance!

Spending all his time with mom!

Playing with his friends!

I love this picture of Josh and Grace, they are so cute when they play together!

Josh pushing Sam on the car! They are a riot, when they play.

Organizing the Food Storage!

Josh stacking canned foods into a tall tower in our food pantry.

Reading Books!

He loves, loves, loves books!

Exercising with mom on his own bouncy ball.

It is so funny! He has great balance and imitates everything mom does on the ball.

Basketball!

Josh loves basketball! He has a great shot!

Josh attempting to be a human basketball.

Trying on all the shoes in the house!

Here he is very determined to tie these shoe laces.
Cars, Cars, Cars!

Josh loves cars and can play with them pretty much all day! His favorite movie, you guessed it, "Cars"! I love this picture because Josh finds a way to take all his cars with him wherever he goes. Notice all the little cars strategically placed in the stearing wheel of his big Lightning McQueen Car.

Undressing Himself!

Everynight, I go to check on him once he's asleep and most of the time his pajamas are off. I sure hope he doesn't take his diaper off. So far we're lucky.

Watching Movies!!!

Josh'a Top 5 Movies:

#1 Cars

#2 Cinderella

#3 Winnie the Pooh

#4 Jungle Book

#5 Little Mermaid

Loves to help mom clean! Everyday he reminds me to vacuum before naptime! He loves to pretend to vacuum, help with laundry, put groceries away in food pantry, etc.

Josh loves his soft white blankets!

Josh doesn't do this that much anymore, but he used to chew on his blankets, maybe because either he was teething or for comfort.

Ahhh, Josh Sleeping!

Josh prefers to play and never stop playing not even for sleep. I'm always so happy to see him so peaceful when he sleeps, it always melts my heart.

Baby Bums! I had to throw this picture because I think Josh has the cutest little bum.

Primary Easter Egg Hunt

March 22, 2008

Josh giving his dad a kiss, John surprised us by getting done at the hospital early than expected. Josh is always so happy to see his dad.

This is such a funny picture to me because Josh just has this look of awe and wonder. It's so cute because the bishop of our ward was giving a short lesson on Christ's resurection. I'm thinking he maybe learned something.

The hunt for eggs. Josh loved it and was excited that there was candy.

We'll probably have to move way south in order to have an outdoor easter egg hunt. We only have one more year left(I can't believe it). After this winter Arizona sounds nice, but we'd really like to go to Utah to be with family and the weather is so much nicer there than here.
I really do love Iowa, but the winters are loooooonnnnnngggggg!

John's 27th Birthday

March 5, 2008

Wow, John is getting old(jk). I threw John and surprise birthday party and got him a pull-up bar that he's wanted for a few years. He was really excited and surprised.

Valentine's Day

This year, Valentine's day was a family affair. After I (John) got home, we all went to dinner at our favorite pizza place: Boston's. Afterwards, we opened gifts and watched a movie. Marie gave me an Iowa sweatshirt (I have wanted one ever since we moved here) and some cologne. I gave her a new I-pod nano. She lost her old I-pod on the plane when we flew home for Christmas. She acted very surprised, though I later found out she noticed it under the bed earlier that day while playing hide and seek with Joshua.
