I think I'm in Love...

I seriously used to hear people talk about "Mama's boys" and I thought...okay, whatever...until now! I absolutely, seriously, deeply love this kid! We have literally been inseparable over the past two years and I think he's the most fabulous little boy! Well he just celebrated his 2 birthday and they were seriously the quickest 2 years of my entire life!


I took Josh to meet his sisters for lunch on the Friday before his birthday and they were all so tickled to see him and to eat lunch with him! He thinks his sisters are the greatest creation...next to Mater of course! ...And they absolutely love their little brother...they adore him! A day doesn't go by when one of them doesn't tell me how much they love him and how great they think he is! We had a great lunch together!
...and on his birthday here he is coming downstairs to see the decorations and start the day! The first thing that he did when he saw the balloons was...he ran to the drawer and pulled out a pencil and seriously popped every balloon that was on the floor! He is such a boy!!!
We went to Hardees and here he is with Mater and Doc in tow!!
...and of course a yummy cinnamon raisin biscuit!!

He wanted a Cars cake...here is our attemp!!
It suited him just fine!! After the Happy Birthday song (which he was a large contributor to) he blew out the candles and took one LARGE bite out of this yummy cake...right out of the middle!!
How could you not absolutely LOVE this handsome kid?!!

My favorite things that Joshua does:

Says "Hello gorgeous!"
Prays that the "dinosaurs won't get him"
Says, "you don't smell Santa, you smell Beef n Cheese" "You don't smell like Santa. You smell like Beef and Cheese"
The position that he sleeps in to fall asleep
When it rains he always asks to play in the rain (and of course we always do)
Watches for the school bus to see the girls
Loves to sing "Popular, Happy Birthday, Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam, Heavenly Father loves me, I am a child of God, Popcorn popping on the Apricot Tree, and Miley Cyrus' The Climb...did I mention that he REALLY sings them!
He always shouts before he jumps off of a couch or something, "Fly away Stanley, BE FREE"
He always wants to "Play cars"
When Mommy says, "I love you Joshua" He says, "No I love you!"
I love that he will talk to people on the phone and says, "I love you the most, Grandma!"
When we go to the store he always says "Fhank you" to the cashiers
I love when he says, "Shake your booty" haha


AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP ADDING TO THIS LIST!!!!

Some anxiously awaited photos...finally here!


We have a very sweet lady in our Stake that needed some little girls to model some dresses for her and she asked us if we would help. Here are a few of the pics that she shared with us! I wish that I could share them all with you! They are seriously priceless!! Thanks, Melanie!

Long lived the Three Headed Monster!!

Just a little shout out to a couple buddies back home! We miss all of our fun times together and eating chocolate chip cookies, games and just plain old hanging out!

A couple of months back, Jill and Shauna sent me a Recipe Book called "Tried and True Recipes from The Three Headed Monster" that they had put together for each of us...It was seriously the coolest gift! It has all of our favorite recipes in it!! I love it! I am so lucky to have such great friends!

(This is our one and only picture that we had of all of us together and of course we are saying goodbye!)

You guys are the best!

(Of course I had to include the picture of the Giant Potty!!)

We miss you guys and love you! (not pictured on the giant potty are Joshua, Dylan and Tyler and of course Braedon (who happened to be "baking in the oven"))!

Evidently a girls only "potty"! Love you guys!!!
