Playing at the Park

Last night Cynetta and I took Noah and Joshua to the park. We walked for a little while and then we let the boys play.

My smiling boy! This is his first time on the swings. He had such a good time with his buddy Noah.

He thinks that he is WAY bigger than he actually is! Look at him just climbing up the stairs!

Up, up, up!

He looks soooo much like his daddy here!

You can't hear in the picture but Joshua was standing there going "vrmmmm, vrmmmm"

This is actually Joshua going down the slide...it looks like he is going up.

My little boy is getting so big! I can't believe that he is over a year old!

Now that the weather is getting cooler, I am hoping to take Joshua to the park a lot more often. He had such a good time and I wish that daddy was there with us.

Thomas the tank engine!!!

We took Joshua after church on Sunday for "A Day out with Thomas". I am soooo glad that we took him! He LOVED it!

This is Joshua when we came around the corner and he saw the life-sized Thomas for the first time. He definitely knew who it was!

Here he was telling Daddy who it was.

This is Thomas

Of course, since Grammy and Pappy came with us, Joshua made out like a Bandit! He got two shirts, a toy train, an 8 x 10 picture of him and Thomas, a new Thomas the Tank Engine diaper bag, and I got all the Thomas paper and stickers to scrapbook.
Here is Joshua picking out his train.

Here is a picture of us next to Emily. If you don't know who Emily is, she really knows her stuff ;-)

Dad video taped the train ride...

And here is Grammy and Sarah

The conductor took a minute of his time to pose with us for a picture.

oh, Joshua got this balloon too...

He was not a big fan of Sir Topham Hat. At least he took a picture with him. The lady behind us in line was trying to literally drag her son up there and he was kicking and screaming the whole time. I thought, NO WAY! If he didn't want to that bad, don't make him!

This is a side view of Thomas.

Family picture.

LOL! Joshua got this ball too!

Aunt Sarah was tickling him on the way home. He had such a good day.

It was a great day! I would totally recommend a day out with Thomas to anyone who has kids! It was awesome!

Grandma is in Heaven

We had Jesse's grandma's funeral on Saturday. The turnout was amazing! Afterwards, we went to the church for food and a family fellowship. Here are a couple pictures of the family. Jimmy and his family are missing, but that's ok.

Here is Grandpa and the kids, Bobbie, Mike and Linda(Aunt Ninny).

And here is all of us...

Isabella is 1!

I had to work Friday night so Jesse took Joshua to Isabella's first birthday party. Jesse said that Joshua had a blast. I called a couple of times to check in on them and Jesse was always telling me that Joshua and Isabella were always in the ball pit together.

There's the little birthday girl!

They always play so well together! I can't get over that neither of them is very possessive of their toys.

Our annual concert was the 25th of August. It wasn't the turn-out we were hoping for but, that's ok. I think a lot of people thought it was going to be too hot and there are also a few other factors that are out of our control. However, I am sure that God will be working those out.

Here is my handsome, unshaven, not dressed up, Husband. LOL! That is a hot dog that he is eating.

Here is Isaiah playing with Joshua when he woke from his nap. Joshua is always very amused by Isaiah and Isaiah is always a big help in keeping him occupied.

We're walking!

Here is Joshua taking some of his first steps. We were in the doctor's office and he was showing off for everyone in there. He would take a couple of steps and then do his crawl. Everyone was laughing at him!

Here are a couple of pictures of my little buddy.

Sitting on our bed & wearing Daddy's hat....he even put it on himself!

And riding his new four-wheeler. It's funny how much he loves that thing!
