IMG_1632 Yesterday Lola wore one of her new dresses from Christmas. Thanks to Nathan’s Mom for this fun vibrant dress, I love it and so does Lola. In fact the perfect headband to go with it was picked out by Lola herself, who reached into the basket and placed it happily on her head. That girls knows her fashion! I was like…”GO GIRL!!” Nothing like dressing to impress when you’re heading downtown, we were the HIT of the car service department yesterday.

IMG_1607 My handsome little men showing off their new hairdo’s! Man are these kids huge now or am I crazy?! I can’t believe my little boys are looking more and more like young men.

By the way, I’m really loving using my favorite apps on my iPhone right now - Instagram and Camera+ they are the best for capturing life’s everyday moments when I don’t have my DSLR along for the ride. Trying desperately to capture a shot of my Noah today, but the boy is a blur when it comes to pics right now. He’s always moving.

Dylan (Tavis) is out on the ski hill today, snowboarding with a group of friends – lucky teenager! I wish I had pictures of that.

Josh on depression

September 27, 2011

On the way to school today Joshua was playing with his umbrella and said “Mom I’ve got my gatling gun full of happiness, it’s my mission to shoot it into the sky. And rid the world of depression!!” – oh you do Joshy, you totally do! HAHA

Joshy Lightens My Heart

(* Picture of Joshua and Lola having a great laugh together on Christmas morning 2010)

So the past several days have been a stressful time, I won’t go into details in public about why, but I have been praying harder than I ever have in my lifetime. I’m guessing the worry has been evident on my face because my Joshy came up to me and said in his own hilarious way…

“Mom what’s wrong? Are you sad, depressed, lonely? Were you misunderstood in College?” The laughter that ensued after that was therapeutic.

I’m grateful to have children who can see when someone is in need (including there parents) and reach out with support and a smile. I treasure you Joshua and when you read this blog later in life I want you to know that you couldn’t have had better timing or a more grateful Mom. I needed that!

Another Josh Original

“Sorry I’m not listening to you Mom. I’m just distracted by my mind”- Josh this morning :)

Joyful Josh

October 12, 2010

Here’s a few pictures of my darling 9 year old Joshua, the boy who keeps me enrobed in hugs and laughter. I love my little freckled nosed funny man. I constantly am looking at him in “awe” these days, he is growing and changing so much. I’m lucky that he still reminds me how much he adores me. When I drop him off at school he has no problem with hugging me and saying “I LOVE You MOM! Have a SPECTACULAR Day!!” – he’s just beyond scrumptious right now.

The water is COLD!! We’re working on a heater, but in the meantime we are most happy to have wetsuits. It was so hot today the boys couldn’t wait to jump into the pool and Nate was hot on their heels. (isn’t he dreamy??!!)

PS – Brigs had his haircut last night and they sprayed it red for fun, that’s why he’s got the red color. I don’t want anyone thinking he had a head injury!! LOL!

Joshy/Friendship

May 12, 2010

Josh has struggled for a bit with finding his niche in school and finding good friends. He’s actually quite shy in the school environment, which may come as a shock to any family members who know our energetic and dramatic boy! Well he’s recently discovered the true joy of making friends, and is so excited that he’s suddenly become quite the popular little dude.
Today I asked him what the change was, and if he had done things differently. He replied “Mom I’m just BORN to do this. I’m build for danger and born for speed!!” ROTFL

Oh Josh how I love you and your humor. You make me grin kiddo! It’s pure joy for me to see you happy! – XOXO Mom

Another Cute Josh Story

March 17, 2010

Last week I took Joshua on a special shopping trip to buy a brand new suit for him for his baptism day.

When he emerged from the fitting room with shirt, tie and suit on he excitedly exclaimed “Mom!! I look like I’m famous and like I have a job!!”

Joshy – you are precious!
