It's Finally Spring!!!

Joshua patiently waiting for Daddy to take him on the last snow machine ride of the season.

Joshua LOVES going for rides with his Daddy, it does not matter if they are on one of the toys or in Daddy's Truck. He is definitely Daddy's Boy.

I could not get a good photo of Joshua helping kick the tires while James filled them up for the first ride of the season.

Joshua hates to wait inside after we say that we are going to go anywhere, but the second we get outside he is all smiles waiting to go. This year he is big enough to ride on what we call the "throne" on the back of the little four wheeler.

I didn't get a photo of Joshua on the "throne" but I made sure James took one of Joshua and I.

At my parents house this past Monday, all three of the "big" boys were finally able to play nicely together, and fit into this expand-o-ball.

The other night we were watching a movie later in the evening, and it was past Joshua's bed time. It use to be that Joshua would just snuggle up to one of us and fall asleep in our arms watching the movie with us. I guess he is to old to fall asleep in our arms. Instead he went into his room and got his pillow and teddy, and brought them out and fell asleep on the floor.

Happy Easter!!!

So I decided that instead of making a mess and dying eggs, we would just put stickers on them. Of course they had to be Lightning McQueen or "Pween" as Joshua says it.

Don't you love the expression on his face? "What is wrong with that egg?" So I tried blowing the eggs instead of doing boiled eggs, but as soon as Joshua noticed the little holes in them he started pushing them in and making them bigger and then giving me this expression and handing the eggs to me as if they were now not good enough for him.

Easter morning after we had cereal I made some toast and of course Joshua had to have some, but he normally will not eat it unless it has Jam on it. Well as you can see, he no longer takes bites of his toast, he now just licks the jam off. What a GOOFY kid!

Since James was working the night shift the "Easter Bunny" waited to come to our house until after nap time. I know this photo is blurry, but I love the tired excitement he had as he ran into the living room to find the eggs.

Joshua with his loot of "balls". I guess it is my fault that he calls them ball instead of eggs, since I got the eggs that look like balls.

We went to my Parents house for Easter dinner, and after another egg hunt, the kids went outside (before it started to snow again). Bryce found a little shovel, and was using it to throw snow at Jack and Joshua, I love the "I'm going to get you" look on his face.

Joshua Daddy and Poppy

One day while in Australia, we went to the Mall with James' parents and while waiting for James and his Mum to finish up in one of the stores Poppy let Joshua ride on the carousel. (I could not believe that it cost $2 instead of the 50 cents it costs over here) Poppy would run away from Joshua, and then hide on the other side of the carousel and Joshua would laugh so hard, and had the biggest smile on. It was so much fun to watch. Joshua had so much fun with his Poppy while we were in Australia. He is still asking for him daily.


It is hard to tell, But I think that Joshua has the same nose and forehead. I guess only time will tell whose side of the family he looks like.

This past week Joshua was outside "helping" James wash the truck. I looked out the window to see Joshua spraying the truck down while James was washing it. James is just lucky that he did not get wet, He has always wanted a little kid to be outside and in the garage helping him, Joshua has grown up way to fast and already loves being out playing where ever Daddy is.
