Tree Climbing Again 09/23/08

Joshua climbed a tree and said, mommy take my picture, then he gave this really cheezy smile. Then, he told me to climb and he took this picture of me! I was quite impressed by the artistry of his picture taking skills! We were biding time waiting for grandma to finish at the doctor. After this adventure, we went to sign on a new house! Hopefully we will close on Halloween.!!!

El Paso's Great Outdoors

We went to El Paso this past weekend for a getaway. Joshua got to
ride a horse, touch a snake, take a hayride, see a tarantula (no touching),
and play in the dirt. It was nice to see Lita too! Joshua and Naomi
love going to see the Fam!

Funny Stuff

Joshua and E'lan had to stop for a potty break at Burger King, and Joshua asked what kind of food they made there. E'lan told him, burgers......after he relieved himself, he inquisitively looked up and said, why don't they serve food here daddy? (he interpreted it to be boogers) I laughed really hard. Then yesterday, we found out that we are not going to get our house after some crappy real estate jerking around, and I was sad. I tried to explain to Joshua that they wanted more money (just to simplify a complicated situation), and he got quiet then said with a serious voice, "that's okay mommy". I said oh yeah, then he says, "yeah, I can make money" - how I wondered - Then he goes with big grin - "with my hammer! - I can make anything you want." Love that boy! Naomi is 9 months old this weekend.....she pants like a dog when she is excited now - more pics to follow to celebrate my angel baby!

Joshua writing his name!!!

E'lan taught Joshua to write his name, mom, and dad.....
do you think my prodigy child can read by the age of 4???

Evie Mae's blessing - September 7 2008

Naomi sitting with Grandma and Evie - she couldn't let Evie get away

with all the attention, she loves grandma WAY too much for that :)

Our Labor Day Getaway

Joshua loved watching this guy perform - He wanted to

stay and watch him instead of shop - Go Figure!

Montezuma's Castle - Josh is convinced that the Indian he saw was

the one who built this house and lives in it! We explained that it built by

ancient Native Americans, so now he believes that the Nephites

built this house on the side of the mountain - he was amazed!

We went to Sedona, and had a great time, Naomi

got to hang out with grandma and grandpa while we

lived it up in the great outdoors.

E'lan treated us to breakfast on the river...and room service!!

Getting away from the noise was great...trees, ducks, and DIRT!

Joshua was practically forced to go down Slide Rock, It

It was FREEZING, he hated it! Haha, E'lan and I

both went down, but Joshua preffered.....

MUD!!!!!! So much for the cool natural SLIDE!
