Joshua is getting into EVERYTHING!!!

Caught red handed! We have a cabinet that only has things that Joshua can play with in it, but he loves to make his way over to the one with the Tupperware and baking pans in it.
The other day I was sitting at the table getting some things done, and I looked over and JJ was grabbing the camera off of the table! I had no idea he was tall enough to get things off of the table he had never tried before, so I had to put something else up there that he would reach for and get a photo.
JJ still loves to play with his tongue, it is constantly hanging out or twisting around in his mouth.
Joshua loves to take baths and play in the shower, the other day James was taking a shower and all of a sudden Joshua disappeared, I found him looking in on his Dad with those big blue eyes begging to get in and play in the water.

April Flew By!

Joshua loves crawling around naked. It is so much fun watching him find his belly and picking at all of the different parts of his body.
One of my Grandmas came up for my little brother's wedding reception and Easter, so JJ and I spent a lot of time over at my Parent's house so that we could spend time with her. We could not get JJ to hold still on her lap, so this is the least fuzzy photo of the two of them.
My sister and I had some errands to do in Anchorage, so we went together with all three boys. On the way home it got really quiet, and when we looked back this is what we saw. Aren't they just adorable?

Last snow of the season- We Hope!

On the 10th of this month, it snowed and actually stuck. It has been snowing a bit lately but nothing has stayed. We had not taken Joshua out to play in the snow since he has had a bit of a cold ever since we went to Mexico back in November, so this time when the snow stayed on the ground I figured if we did not get him out to play in it he would not get the chance until next year. So here he is with James on the 4 wheeler.
James took Joshua for a ride on the sled down our front hill/ yard. It was hard getting photos of both boys looking because the sun was sooo bright.
Joshua was having a hard time getting around, his snow pants are size 2T (which is for a 2 year old) so they were way to long. I did not think that we would have snow this late in the year so I did not buy anything for him to wear to play in the snow for this year.
Here is a better photo of just how long his pants are.

Family photos

A couple of months back, my whole family went and got family photos done. I have this one framed in Joshua's room.
This is our new car that James is going to drive up from california in two weeks. It is another Mazda speed6, just like the one we bought back in November but silver instead of black.
Another picture of JJ, it was hard to pick out of the numerous photos that were taken of him, because he is smiling in all of them.

In the back is Jeremy, Steve, and James. Next row is Laura (Jeremy's wife) and myself.
