Merry Christmas

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We definitely had a wonderful time celebrating the birth of the Savior and spending time with family

Happy First Birthday Josiah!!

Wow--I can't believe that today Josiah is celebrating his first birthday. At times over the last year I thought it was kind of going slow but all of a sudden the year is up--crazy! We are looking forward to hanging out together as a family today and then celebrating tomorrow with the immediate family--of course the theme for tomorrow is Winnie the Pooh!!

Here is one of the first pictures we have of Josiah when he was born:

I put Josiah down for his morning nap and then a little while later I heard him crying super hard and this is what I found when I went upstairs:


This was the first time he did it and then he did it a couple of more times throughout the day!!

Tonight I started the massive task of pulling weeds from our yard--they are overtaking our yard. I was super excited to see a small tomato growing in my little container. I have never grown any vegetables so hopefully it will taste ok!!

Crawling

Josiah is doing such a great job of crawling on his knees finally. Here is a short video of him crawling!

Father's Day

We had a super busy Father's Day weekend. On Friday night we headed up to Tinley to celebrate with my family. Then I headed over to Beth's to play Bunco with her friends. It was so much fun even though I didn't win any money :( Then on Saturday we went out for lunch with Tim's parents and Phil & Julie. We headed out to West Beach for a while to let Josiah play in the sand and water. He loved the sand and did not even eat any--which is a big surprise. Then we went to Tim's cousins, Melanie's graduation party. On Sunday we decided to celebrate Father's Day with just our family and it was so nice and relaxing. Here are some pictures of Tim & Josiah on Father's Day, unfortunately all of the pictures that we took of our dads did not turn out :(

1st Birthday Card

Josiah received his first birthday card in the mail from Aunt Jo and he was very excited to receive it. Thanks so much Jo!!

1st haircut

Josiah has a little bit of a mullet so we decided today to cut that off. We were going to go to a barber to get it cut off but they wanted to charge ten dollars so we did it in the bathtub. I don't think it looks too bad!
