My Boys

Love these two!!

Happy Birthday James!!

I can't believe that my boy is 8!! He will be baptized on November 6th. He is growing up so fast. It is so wierd has a parent to have a child experience things that I remember from my childhood. It really is amazing how fast time flies.

Our monthy family dinner at Jensen's topped off with cake and ice cream for Brad and James.

The following day we headed to Boondocks with the Boys and our next door neighbor. It was perfect. No one was there.
Alittle Golf

Bumper Boats

Race Cars

The boys had so much fun.

Happy Birthday James!!

James' Prayer

Tonight it was James' turn for family prayers. His prayers are always so insightful into what is going on in his mind. Tonight was no different.....

James "please bless Mom to get alone with everyone."

The kid singled me right out. I clearly have some work to do.

I always thought I was the one that went with the flow.....

Leave it to my kids to humble me.

Devil Inside

"the devil inside, the devil inside

every single one of us the devil inside" INXS

Classic lyric from a great song from the eighties.....

However, Josh's "devil inside" is never really "inside"

Today we went to Target and has we walked down the isle Josh saw this display with all the Halloween piggy banks,

Josh "Oh Cool!"

and runs to pick up the one that caught his eye......

Jackson and Maisy

It Just doesn't get any better then this.

While in Vegas we were short one stroller so we stuck Miss Mo and Jackson in the stroller together.

Jackson looks alittle more excited to be sharing then Maisy does.

Happy Birthday Josh!!

Happy Birthday Josh!!

This kid has been so excited for his big day. I have to say that as a mom I love that my kids get so excited. The day came off great.

So happy that his day as finally arrived.
Josh wanted to go bowling so we headed to the local bowling ally and let every one bowl to their hearts content. Really, I would say half way through the first game bowling had lost a bit of it's appeal with the kiddos. Fun times!!

After bowling we headed back home for the pinata that Josh wanted. Once the pinata broke it was the slowest pick-up of treats I had ever seen. All I can say is I hope they all got exactly what they wanted.

It was a wonderful day. I am so grateful for Josh. I experience the full range of emotions with him.

Frustration, anger, wonderment (is that a word?), amazement, confusion, excitement, happiness, enjoyment and many more.....

Josh keeps me guessing and I just never know what each day will bring.

I love you, Josh
