Thanks Jake!

Thanks to my brother Jake we got this playground for free! Josh loves it. Jake had it in his backyard from the people he bought his house from. He's 23 and single so he doesn't need it so he let us have it. When we got it, it looked pretty worn but with a good power wash and a can of stain it looks like new again. It just took me 2 days of cleaning and staining but it worth it! Thanks again Jake!

Great Books!

I have a friend who is a awesome writer, Ally Condie. I just finished her second book First Day. I was amazing. Her first book Yearbook was great but I think second book was even better. Ally is an one of those people that is a super mom and a amazing writer and can do anything and still stay sweet and totally friendly. As you can tell I'm not a writer so people that can write wonderful books always blow me away. Plus she writes about Cornell a place that is near and dear to our hearts! We will always have a piece of Ithaca in our hearts! You can find out more about her books at www.allysoncondie.com Check it out!

Happy Birthday Josh

Last week was Joshua's 3rd Birthday. He was sick on his actual birthday so that wasn't much fun for him. We had to cancel his kid party and move it to next week but we did get to have our Family party (minus Aunt Jen and Uncle Bubba because Jen's on Bed rest :( we missed you). He's changed a lot in the past year. He's now a little kid instead of a toddler. He has adult conversations with me and he's a wonderful helper around the house. It's so fun to watch him grow and see his personality come out. He does have a little temper but He also trying to control it now which has been nice. We love our new little 3 year old!

Michael

So I realized I haven't put many picture up of Michael lately so here is some new ones. He smiles a lot now and I can getting him to laugh every once and a while. But I can't seem to get in on camera so here's the best I've gotten so far. We found out he loves it when we sing, he'll aways smile and coo at us. I so fun to interact with him now and have mini cooing conversations. Josh loves his little buddy and come to see what he's doing all the time.

Crazy

I had gone outside to do some yard work while the boys were taking their naps in their rooms. When I came back inside I found Josh sleeping out in the hallway. He slept like this for another half hour. What ever gets hime to sleep I guess!

He found some stickers and decided to decorate himself for church!

He loves the backyard!

He was teaching himself to juggle (seriously!)

Josh is really getting to be a ham, it's fun to watch him grow up!
