Josh has two careers that he goes back on forth on. The first is a construction worker and the second is a mechanic. He is working on his garbage truck. It needed major repairs.

Just a little tighter!

I took a picture of this just to remember it later. Whenever Josh has to go #2 at home or at grandma's he strips totally naked to go to the bathroom. This time he throw all his clothes out of the bathroom too.

On 2/14 it was Josh's Valentine's party at school. I did the craft and we made love bugs.

By the way, Josh's preschool teachers are so sweet. They are such a blessing.

We were all so excited to go to the Boat, Sport and Travel Show. Josh couldn't wait to climb in and out of every camper, which is his favorite part. Every drive unit he drove us somewhere.

Most of the boats you are not allowed to get into, but Matt let Josh board this one. He was so excited.

Josh's class went to a place called Fundamentals. It's kind of like gymnastics for the not so serious. It was lots of fun. The only thing Josh was leery of was the zip line.

Bong, Bong, Bong!

O.k. I'm finally getting the blog update. I know it's been a while but life is busy. Unfortunately, the pictures didn't download in quite the right order.

Josh is playing is monster truck game he got from Santa.

The monster truck course

The next two pictures are from Josh's last day of music class. His new music class started on 1/30 with a new teacher.

Miss Linda was his teacher

Josh's new loft bed. He loves it!

1/30 was Monster Jam. Josh was so excited to see the monster trucks and was very sad that the show had to come to an end.

1/20 to 1/23 Matt and I were able to take a weekend getaway thanks to my sister and parents for watching Josh. We cashed in credit card points for free air fair to Miami. We stayed on Key Largo. It was a nice break from the grip of winter.

We did a lot of lounging.

One day we went to the Everglades for a little hiking and bird watching.

Of course, we ate to much while there and it was rough having fresh fish for dinner every night.

This was the boat we were supposed to a sunset cruise on. A storm was coming in and kicked up the winds making it impossible.

Matt took Josh to a local indoor water park. They had a great time.

With all the snow and ice of course we had to go sledding. Josh is getting more adventurous as he is getting older. Yea!

We had one snow fall of perfect snowman snow. We built a 7 foot tall snow man.

I'm gonna get you mom!!

Pucker up!

Oh it's being to look a lot like Christmas!

We love Christmas time and it's even more fun seeing how excited Josh is. Every morning he runs into the living room to see where the Elf on a Shelf has moved to.

Our Tree!

Josh loves to open his Lego advent calendar and see what he is going to build that day.



Even though our first snow fall was only an inch Josh had to go out and play. He played outside for an hour and a half. I could barely get him back inside.

The first snow angel of the year.

Making Christmas ornaments with mom

Our first ginger bread train. It's so hard not to eat all the icing and candy.

Mailing my letter to the Big Man in Red. No, I can't tell you what I wrote.

Four Years Old Already

The last couple of weeks have been really busy. Josh had a test at Tae Kwan Do and of course he turned 4 years old on 11/21. We can't believe he's 4 already.

Josh is circling all the things in the Toy r us ad that he wants for Christmas.

Josh really likes getting of the computer and playing games.

This is Josh's Tip Test. He had several skills he had to do for Tae Kwan Do and then he earned a yellow strip for the tip of his belt.

Fighting stance was one of his skills

Front Snap Kick was another skill he had to perform.

Josh is receiving the board he just broke with a Front Snap Kick.

The sensay is giving Josh his yellow strip on his belt tip.


Josh is 4 Years old !!!!

Mom made Josh a very cool volcano cake that spewed smoke.

Josh wanted a dinosaur themed party again. Here are the three paleontologist. Be careful their bite is worse than their growl.

Wow! The cake was awesome!

Make a wish!

Of course Josh received a ton of gifts. He was so excited to rip and tear that he barely looked at them. Then he couldn't decide which one to play with first.

He had a little help getting his birthday presents open from his cousins, but he didn't mind.

Today, 11/23 we built a tent in the living room. Josh loved hiding in his tent.
