Joshua's 1st Birthday - 11/15/08

Baby Sesame Street 1st Birthday was the theme.

Joshua loves Elmo, so that's why we picked this.

Isn't it cute?

Before the party started: Joshua with PawPaw

Joshua with Rachel and his cousin Cole

I think Scot was more excited about this outfit than Joshua!

Rachel was a big helper opening gifts!

Joshua playing with his new Discovery Noah's Ark.

Joshua wasn't sure he wanted to share his toys!

Joshua's own baby cake!

The cake for everybody else

Ready to eat cake with Aunt Gail!

Singing Happy Birthday!

Diving into the cake!

Joshua didn't like the cake too much!

He did enjoy a few bites.

Halloween - 10/31/08

More of the Swingset

After I posted my previous blog post, I found these swingset pictures on my camera that I hadn't downloaded to the computer yet. Just thought I'd share these, too.

Our New Swingset

I was going to post this about a month ago, but life has gotten crazy busy. I still don't really have time right now, but Rachel and Joshua are napping right now; Jordan is at football practice; and Jacob is at the A&M game. So I am grading papers while I wait for each picture to upload. Our new swingset that took weeks to put together (Scot did it with help from his brother, Ryan, and my dad) survived the hurricane - thank goodness. They had just finished putting it together about a week before the hurricane blew through. Anyway, I thought I'd share these pictures of the kids playing on it. More updated pics and information soon - probably of Halloween.
