HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSHUA

JOSHUA'S NEWBORN SHOTS

"one year ago"

JOSHUA'S 6 MONTH SHOTS

I can't believe our little boy is ONE! He is such a delight. He brightens our day with his big cheesy grin, his fascination for life, and his cute baby talk. We have thoroughly enjoyed being his parents and we are happy he is a part of our family. Since his cousin Abram is only a day younger we threw a joint birthday party for them. There were around 13 kids running around in blue with blue streamers, blue balloons, and stick horses. It was utter ciaos but really fun!! I made a blue clues dog cake not because he likes or has ever seen blue clues but, because he loves dogs and the color blue.

THE BIRTHDAY CAKE

My friend Tiffany Jack came over and helped me make the cake. We had so much and it turned out so cute!

Joseph and the amazing technicolor Dreamcoat

Mike and I have been practicing since October to be a part of the play Joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat. Mike is a brother and I am a wife. It has been a lot of work but way fun. We have 4 more shows to go. Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. Wahoo!!

Mike and I do a little dance solo for the song Caanan Days.

How do you like the black hair? We have had amazing directors, costume designers, and make up ladies, and choreographers.

Go Go Joe!! Last night my go-go costume came untied hence thats why the outfit is so long on me. It was pretty funny.

It seems crazy that not too long ago we were all still in college and now we are all in our separate places raising children and working. How life changes in such a short amount of time. It was sure a lot of fun to have them all over.

If you look closely on the computer screen our my grandparents who are on a mission in Lubbuck Texas. Thank goodness for Skype, it made it feel like they were there!

I went to wake up Joshua one day and I couldn't help but take a picture he looks so comfortable.
