A Few Random Shots

Here are a few shots from here in January....

Joshua is constantly asking me to take pictures of him lately. Here he is cuddling with his bear that sings Jesus Loves Me. He was so cute rocking it and singing to it!

This is one of those pictures that Joshua will probably hate when he is older. It's pretty funny now. He is all the time putting on Grammy's heels and walking around!

My big, brown-eyed boy.

Joshua just having a snack with Grammy.

My friends from church took my to Olive Garden in a pre-chemo party. It was so much fun! We had lunch, spent some time together and they gave me a basket with all kinds of lotion, bubble bath, slippers and even the next season of House for me to watch during my treatments. It was a blast and here is a shot of Joshua and I.

Cynetta and Lori.

Shannon and I. I thought that I was just meeting Cynetta and Noah for lunch....I was very surprised when I got there and there was a little party set up.

A picture of Joshua and Mommy hanging out at home....not hateful for a picture that I took myself.

Jesse reading to Joshua and Kylee. Kylee climbed in Jesse's lap with a book and it only took about 5 seconds for Joshua to get jealous and get up there too.

Our cousin, Kylee, preparing for work :)

LOL! Jesse explaining how the power tools work to her.

Anthony Jr. He is such a cutie and such his Daddy's boy!

Caidance...just hanging out.

Joshua and Dakota. That dog takes such a beating from Joshua on a daily basis but he handles it well. Here Joshua is "nicely" loving on him.

This is another instance of "take a picture of me, Mommy". Yesterday morning, I was laying on the couch and Joshua was having a fruit snack and he wanted to make sure that I captured the moment. I will turn him into a picture addict too..

I love this one!

Alex Turns 3!

Joshua's friend, Alex, turned three in early January. They mostly had a family party but Joshua was invited. He had a lot of fun with Alex and made some new friends.

Here is Alex opening his present from Joshua.

I thought this was a pretty cute pics of Joshua...

The birthday boy playing with the truck that Joshua got him for his birthday...

Getting ready to blow out the candles...

Cake time!

It was cake from Taste of Elegance...FUNNY STORY! I was talking to my friend yesterday who WORKS at Taste of Elegance! Their cake comes from a box! You can go to the store and buy the icing! That is some crazy expensive box cake!

The kids playing with Alex's new camera...

My cute little snuggle bug!

Joshua and Alex's cousin had a wrestling match. Joshua is into powerslamming people when they wrestle. I just noticed this while I was posting this picture, ...JOSHUA IS STANDING ON HIM!

....more wrestling..

All the kids getting to play Hungry Hungry Hippos.

We really like our friend Eric, Erica and Alex and we always have a good time when we see them...unfortunately, they live like 30 minutes away and we only see them like 4 times a year! We need to get together more! Jesse and Eric get to see each other all the time at work tho!

Playing in the Snow!

These are pictures of Joshua playing in the snow the 17th and 18th of January. I love the look of the snow and I love the pictures, but I DO NOT like to go out in the cold!

Joshua, however, LOVE to go out and play in the snow...here he is all dressed and waiting for Daddy to get home from work...I had to call Jesse like 3 times to find where he was because Joshua was so impatient.

YEAH! Daddy finally got home!

Joshua and Daddy posing before they are off to play...

My little brown-eyed boy :)

This picture cracks me up! He is a mini version of Papaw...NO BUTT!

Joshua felt that Dakota needed to play with the snow too. He would pick up big piles and put them on the dog's back.

...and here he is trying to explain to Daddy that Dakota likes it...that he wants to play in the snow too!

I didn't realize just how much snow we had those days...it was a little deeper than I thought...

I let Joshua have his first taste of sugar snow...Jesse was totally against it, but, hey, I grew up on the stuff! Just fresh snow sprinkled with sugar. Joshua loved it!

Here is Joshua at Grammy and Pappy's house. He and Daddy are going to go "sledding"

"sledding" means that Joshua rides and Daddy pulls...mommy is WAY too paranoid for them to do hills yet...Joshua likes to play in the snow but it he gets his face in it or his hands cold, we are no longer having fun, we are screaming.

This hat makes me laugh! It is ALWAYS covering his eyes!

SNOW!

When Jesse left for work this morning, we had about 1/2 an inch of snow. At around 8 AM, just three hours later, this is what I saw. It's so pretty! If it is going to snow, this is how I like it to snow! Lots of it and quickly!

Check out the HUGE snowflakes!

You can see the snow building up on the railing on the front porch.

Here is Joshua's play set and his bike that is getting buried in the front yard...

The table on the back deck. I can't believe how much snow is there already!

Some Random December Shots

Here are my random shots from the month of December. There is a little bit of everything in here.

We went to dinner at El Rancho Grande...Joshua and I LOVE tacos!

He has gotten so big and so independent! Everything is done all by himself now!

Art came into the coffee shop one day when Joshua and i were in there...here is a shot of them drinking their smoothies....

Just Joshua.

A couple shots of Joshua and Nana....



This one WAY shows his personality!

We got to go to one of Uncle Rob's games in December too. Here is a picture of Joshua and Grammy....

Joshua and his popcorn....always have to get popcorn.

Cheering for Uncle Rob!

Uncle Rob playing ball!

Joshua at the coffee shop again....this time, he is eating straight whipped cream....
