Kissing

Josh had his first kiss last night, by an older woman. That's right, Ella planted a big kiss on Josh during the soccer game we were at. I always knew there were sparks between them!

Liz inspired me

My friend Liz posted some of her scrapbook pages. So I decided to be a follower and show one that I just did. I don't scrapbook that often, mainly because I am not very artistic, but I bought a scrapbook calendar last year so I committed to at least 12 pages to do for the year! I finally got September's done this week....so I only have November to complete for the calender.

These pictures were taken last September or October when Josh was between 6-7 months old. I decided it would be nice to take him to the park and called up Liz to come with me. That is Mason(one of Liz's sons) sitting next to Josh in the picture on the bottom...it is crazy to think that they were just barely crawling around at this time...and now they are such big boys. Josh misses his buddy.

Babies really do grow up too fast!

Frog pool

Taking advantage of Target's end of summer sales, we bought Josh a little pool to play with in our backyard. I had fun with Patric's camera by taking pictures in black and white and then also the vivid programs. It is a shame that the camera is on its way out, now that I learn the cool functions of it!
Getting ready to go out and have fun!

He loves pressing his face against the window. It cracks me up. I love his eyes in this picture...only problem with it is that you can see me taking the picture in the reflection!

The anticipation is killing me! Will he like it, will it be a bust?

He LOVED it! And then he decided he was...

THIRSTY!

And then he spotted something...
hidden treasures!

They are a couple

I always say that Josh and Ella are going to get married someday...much to Brad and Kami's dislike, but they are always so cute together. Ella is so nice and plays with Josh even when Josh takes EVERY toy away from her.

We had Brad and Kami over earlier this week and every toy that Ella grabbed just happen to be one of Josh's favorite toys, or toys that he plays with. After enough whining, they got smart and decided to share the toy....and it was the PERFECT photo opportunity.

Josh is taking driving seriously.
I LOVE this picture. Ella is absolutely flawless and Josh is actually smiling!
Josh loves his older woman.

Vacation Pics

Vacation was WONDERFUL this year. There was no major fighting and I think everyone genuinely had a great time. It was so fun to watch all of the little cousins playing (fighting) together. I did not want to come home this year, and usually by the first day I question why I go on this trip every year.

Unfortunately, our camera was acting funny, so we didn't get that many great pictures, but here are some!

Eliza and Josh were adorable together the entire week. Here is some cuddling action.

This is Josh with three of my brother's kids, Azelin, Eliza and Cameron. Hudson is still too little to be in this picture.
He is on some great adventure here...finding buried treasure!
What can I say, the kid loves sand.

Just me and my little man.
