My Dodge Truck

James sold my truck, but it is the one that I have wanted for a long time, so I had to put a photo on here. It is not the best angle for a photo, but it is the short bed quad cab dodge HEMI, everything about this truck is BEAUTIFUL!
James was changing JJ into his jammies the other night and started to "eat" JJ's belly, I should have video taped it, JJ was squeling, and giggling, it is so much fun to watch the two of them play together. We have a decorative clock that Jj has discovered that he can open the bottom of it, and he just loves to put things in and close the door, just to open it again and check to see if they are still there.
The other morning, I was so tired and Joshua was wide awake, so we went out to the living room and I layed on the floor while Joshua played. Next thing I know, it is about 30 min later and Joshua has fallen asleep on the floor. He was only asleep for about a half hour longer and when he woke up he turned his head over and grabbed his toy hammer and started hammering away as if he had not missed a beat. Oh to have the energy of a child.

Joshua will not use a dummy/pacifier, but he loves to carry it around and chew on it. It is so cute when he does try to chew on it because he does not know which part to put in his mouth.
Bryce came over on St. Patrick's Day, so we got a photo of all of us in our green. JJ is so cuddly, and so the first photo we got JJ is reaching across me to give Bryce a hug.

Here is another photo of JJ and his contagious smile, it is very rare that I get a photo and he is not smiling.


The other day I went over to my Mom's house to find that Jack, Vyrl and Joshua were all wearing camo, and Steph was wearing green so she got the privilege of sitting in with the boys.

Joshua is finally getting Teeth

I love JJ's big blue eyes, although that is not what I was trying to get in this photo, that is what I first see when I look at it. It is hard to see, so below is and up close photo of his first tooth that came out on Feb. 10th, and the one net to it came out on March 4th. He is also getting one on the top.

Vacation

Joshua and I got back from our vacation last night and I figured if I did not post the photos now it would not happen for a while. We flew to California last Wednesday and then drove with my friend Tisha to Utah for my little brother's wedding, and stayed with my best friend and roommate from college, which I some how I managed to not get a photo of the two of us. Tisha and I then drove back to California and did a bit of shopping and now we are home.


The 3 Josh's. Josh and Jash flew down to Matt and Laurel's wedding, and we were actually on the same flight, and went out to breakfast together, and the big Joshes helped me haul around all of little Joshua's stuff, but of course I did not think to get a photo of that. I grew up with the tallest Josh, and the wife of the other Jash, and then we have my little Joshua, and there is even another Josh (who is actually Joshua James) but he does not hang out with the other two all of the time. It is actual fun having this many Josh's around, whenever I see one of the big Joshes (which whenever I see one I see the other) I tell them that they look like they need another Josh, and they are always good about taking him and playing with him, but it is sometimes hard to get him back unless he is fussy.
Although I do not have a photo of my college roommate Stefie Lou, I do have a photo of our two little ones together, Joshua and Megan. Stef and I do not talk on the phone all that often, and one day before we had our little ones she called me and said "guess what!?!", and I said "You're Pregnant!! So am I" we had not even planned it and we had our first kids about two weeks apart, but we decided to try and plan to have our next ones together, but we all know how planning pregnancies goes so we will see.
While in California Tisha and I took Joshua to the beach, he absolutely loves the sand and water. I am so excited to take him to Australia, he is going to have so much fun, but I don't know how we are going to get him to come back home.

Sorry this took so long

Man time flies, I took this picture at the end of January, and it is now March! We went over to my Mom's house and Jack and Bryce were playing with Joshua and wanted to share everything with him and do everything with him. It is so much fun to see the boys growing and changing and enjoying every moment they have together.
On February 8th Stephanie and Brandt had their third little one, Vyrl Ryan Bowen. It is so weird to me that it has been over five years since they had Carli.
Joshua just loves little Vyrl and is always trying to touch his face and head.
Joshua is still doing his seal crawl, and will get up into a push-up stance, it is hard to see in the photo, but he is up on his tip-toes. Every time I try to get a photo of this from the side, he turns towards me, so this is the best that I could do.
We are having a hard time with the sizing of Joshua's pants, we have a few pairs that fit, but half of his pants are to big around, and if I go to the smaller size, they are high waters, so here is a cute photo of him crawling out of his pants.
