Lately...

Hello!

Sorry, I haven't posted anything in a while.

It has been a busy couple of weeks.

Emma-Joy was born and then Grandma Ravert came out for 2 weeks.

Here are some pictures to see what we have been up to lately!

Joshua had his 1st kinder surprise!

At first he was a bit cautious...

then, he dove right it!

He was quite pleased with his "surprise!"

Nathan was working out on our porch a while ago,

and Joshua always likes to do what Daddy is doing.

He found his own hammer and wood and did "like Daddy!"

It was so cute! He knew what he was doing too!

Lately, Joshua has really been liking to colour!

Wal-mart had crayola crayons on for $ .25!

Lets just say between all of the kids here,

we went out of wal-mart with 35 boxes of crayons :)

While Grandma Ravert was staying at our house,

she slept on our air mattress (that doesn't hold air very well).

Every morning she left it up for Joshua to play on when he woke up!

He had a blast!!

Joshua is such a boy...

Every time we go over to Jun and Sandra's house, Joshua goes right for the blue car!

saying, "bbbrrroooommm!!!"

but...

when Anna is there too,

they have to fight for it...

in this case,

they shared ;D

having some fun!

Shirley - "Auntie Rachel, take my pictures...cheese!"

Our little man!!!

The last night we were all together with Grandma Ravert,

we took all the grand kids to a park to get some pictures for Grandma.

Jun took most of the pictures with his honking camera ;D

and I snapped a couple!

He got some really nice pictures...

which isn't very easy with that many kids who were all anxious to run to the

playground just 50 feet away!!

The newest of them,

Emma-Joy!

She's so cute :D

Right after Joshua tried to smell those roses,

Anna tried to pick him up....

what she doesn't realize is that Joshua weights the same as her if not more :D

Orange, yellow, and pink!

three girlies!

Joshua saw this, well whatever it is called, and reached up for it.

So Auntie Melissa helped!

You can't see any Nathan right??? ;D

Joshua is becoming a park king!

He figured out how to get up the stairs at this particular park...

there is a slide at each side of the top!!!

He LOVES slides now!

Yesterday, we went to Melissa's house until Grandma left for the airport.

It was a fun day...

we spent most of it outside!

Who said that the park is for kids???? :D

Smile!

These guys just love each other sooooo much!

Don't worry....it's on the cheek! ;D

He was playing peek-a-boo!

Another favorite of Joshua...

Isaac and Caleb have a F150 power wheel!

Joshua loves it!!!

Apparently working on cars just runs in the family!

It was hilarious!

I was out with all the kids, and all of the sudden they just decided that

the truck needed some repairs.

So while Joshua sat and gave the orders,

all the other boys fixed his truck!

Joshua and Mommy!

I love you!
