Happy Birthday!

Nanny G! We hope you have a wonderful day! Happy Birthday!

Finally

A picture of the boys together and it's outside! We've had a few nice days off and on. Spring is taking it's good ole sweet time to peak it's head out. The Wilson shirts are from school. Josh has not taken his off now for two days. He put it on right after school yesterday and refuses to take it off. He says "michael bought it for me". Josh has started to really show his admiration for his big brother. It's a great thing to watch. He really enjoys playing with his big brother, in fact, he's cried a few mornings when we have to drop michael off at school (only a couple).

On another note, Saturday is our last basketball game and first soccer game. It's going to be a very busy weekend. I'll try to post some pictures of basketball soon.

If you can't tell by the HUGE header picture, I'm longing for fresh colors, warm weather, and all the beauty that comes with spring. We have more freezing rain/sleet/ice today and maybe more tomorrow. Soon, it will be warm soon, right?!!!

Itty, bitty, birds

Josh has taken a love for these itty, bitty birds. We happened to find a nest leftover from somewhere? and placed the birds inside. Yes, technically they are chickens, but we are calling them birds. He is taking such good care of these little ones, making sure they get lots of sunshine, and food (pretend) and if you don't count the one bird that he ripped the face off, he's doing a fine job!

Happy Hearts Day to all!

It's been a very hectic week with work, holiday parties, freezing rain, etc. Will try to post some pictures next week.

Stunt Man

Wow, it's been awhile since I've been here. I've been trying to get through this month. We are all burning with spring fever here and have had a few nice days to satisfy us. The kids rode scooters on one of those nice days recently. Josh doesn't get to ride in the street unless I'm out there with him, but this day I was out and he would ride his scooter in a big circle coming to the curb, jumping off, and rolling down the hill. He had a blast, asking me each time , "Did you see that?", or saying "that was awesome". He has no fear with some things, like jumping off the picnic table, but has great fear with other things. Yesterday at church he refused to walk up a flight of stairs, he crawled like a baby. He also begged me to carry him down the stairs, I refused initially, but he was in tears with just the thought of knowing we had to go back down the stairs. I don't know where this fear came from, but I guess I need to walk him up and down the stairs a few times.

On another note, today, Michael is auditioning for the Pied Piper. The Missoula children's theater comes once a year to do a show. Auditions are on Monday and the show is on Friday. His cousins will be auditioning as well, so cross your fingers they all get a part!
