Happy Birthday to Me!

Well, this is the only picture I have. Josh had a fun time playing on the porch in the morning.
I was lazy during his nap. Cleaning on my birthday???
I think not! :)
Then we grilled dinner at home. It was a good day!

Fishing Trip with Grandpa

My dad and I took Josh and my niece and nephew fishing. It was fun, but way too hot!!!

If you look very closely, you can see Josh's little fish.
He caught it on his new Lighting McQueen fishing pole. Yay for him!!!

"Big Water" Trip

I'm not sure which activity was Matt's and Tommy's favorite...the beach or Xbox in the room...

We got the kite going, then gave Josh a turn. We never saw it again...

Fun times... burrying Tommy in the sand. We buried Greg too!

Basically every bucket I went to fetch got immediately dumped out.
All day I heard "Momma, more water please?"

This was my favorite sequence!!! I can't believe my skills! I got them all at the perfect time! Let's just say, he didn't do that again :)

We had a great time. This was Greg's graduation trip. Destin, of course.

Greg's Graduation: Family Pics

Everyone got their turn with the Grad.
And this last one was just so cute. Josh and Grandpa!

Greg's Graduation: The Ceremony

One word: Lame
There were thousands of balloons supposed to descend. Well, it didn't work.
This was all that came out.

The bag pipes were neat though.

Wow....Greg has is MBA. Yay!!!

Greg's Graduation: The Presents

I got Greg a grill for his MBA graduation. Classy, I know.
And Josh got him all the gadgets to go with it.

Happy Mother's Day

Josh painted me a frame and I put a cute pic of us in it.
He's all into painting right now. That's what we gave everyone.

Jim got me some pretty flowers we planted out front.

Greg got me another cute Willow Tree figure that's a mother and son.
These aren't the best pics, but it's what I have.

Another Birthday Cake: Jordan is 3! (Not 31)

Well I now have visual evidence if anyone ever wonders why Greg starts hyperventilating and gets on the verge of a mental break down at the thought of me making another birthday cake. Yes, the mess was entirely from the cake preparation.
My Nephew turned three a few days ago and had a Dinosaur party.

Really?

We saw this in the parking lot of Best Buy tonight. I had to take a picture. Not much else to say except...really?

Josh's New Snack

Boy he LOVES Chex Mix!!! I'm trying to avoid giving him the "Bold and Spicy." That can't be good for his breath.

Joshisms

9/11/09- While visiting the grandparents, Mike fell asleep on the couch and was snoring loudly. Josh finally said "Papa, turn off!"

10/28/09- Greg was playing with Josh on the floor and laid down. Josh sat on his tummy and said "Dada hiding!"

10/30/09- Josh was eating crackers. He gave Greg one and after he ate it Josh asked Greg "Where did it go?" When Greg told him "in my tummy," he lifted up Greg's shirt to look for it. Then he lifted his own shirt and tried to hide a cracker on his tummy, under his shirt.

11/5/09- Charmaine hurt her knee during the day so she was limping. They watched Josh that night so Josh started limping around like she was.

12/24/09- Josh was sitting on Uncle Chris' lap and his phone vibrated from his pocket. Josh jumped down and said "Chris poopy!"

12/25/09- My favorite Christmas moment: Greg's grandmother walks with a cane. Well, Charmaine bought Josh one of those canes full of candy that is about a foot tall. Immediately after she gave it to him, he started walking around using it as a real cane.

1/5/10- Josh frequently asks about where people are. Everyday we play the game of "where is____?" Usually everyone he asks about is at "work." So he will always repeat "they are at their job." Today he said, "I go to my job" and went up to his room to play.

5/10/10- Josh loves water! He chugged a bunch today, put down the cup, smacked his lips and said "mmmmm, that's good."

8/5/10- While helping me pack up the grandparents house to move them, he packed the tupperware in the box more organized than I would have. He said "I'm a big boy helper. I did good job!"

8/6/10- Josh never eats ice cream. He says it's "too cold." But he took my cone tonight when we were at Jason's Deli and licked it all off the top. When he got to the cone he handed it back and said "I don't like the crust."

9/24/10- Josh loves the moon. He's always looking for it. Tonight it's a big full moon. When he was walking to the house from the car, he kept glancing up at it. Then he said "Momma, is the moon coming with us?"

9/30/10- Josh: Why do we need new batteries? Me: Because they are dead. Josh: Who dead them?

10/5/10- It's so refreshing to have so many little things confirm your child, is in fact, yours. I don't use people's name very often. I just don't like to. I don't like mine used often. I call people "darlin', baby, buddy, etc." Josh is "buddy." Well, I have officially become "booty." He now intermittently calls me "momma" or "booty." It's just too cute. *The way he says it in no way sounds like he's calling me a butt.

3/18/11- Josh likes to talk about his "poop" every time he goes potty. At first he would name rewards he thought he should get for every "one" that came out. The first time he did it there were 3, as he pointed out "1 for the hotel (dada's promise), 1 for my car (nonna's promise of a powerwheels) and 1 for Wendy's (his favorite food that week). Now he likes to talk about the shapes, like today's was a shark. Usually it's a mommy or daddy and baby. Gross...I know!
