Joshua's Birthday

Joshua turned 4 on June 10th. He had a great birthday, we had a big breakfast for him and let him open a few presents.


He got a Cars 2 duplo set from Grandma and Grandpa Bailey and loved it.



After breakfast we drove up to Santa Barbara and met up with his cousins at the zoo. All Joshua wanted for his birthday was to be with his cousins Ezra and Braddock. So we decided to go up there to see everyone.















All the boys spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa's together and then Saturday at noon we had a pirate birthday party.






We had cake.



Went on a bury treasured hunt.














Even Abigail dressed up and had fun.



Joshua and Ezra got in the mud again.

New Camera

So I finally got a nice SLR camera. I have been taking a lot of random shots trying to practice.

We have 4 chickens now...these are our newest.





Abigail loves to be outside and and to get dirty.











Joshua is getting so big, and is such a happy boy.





Abigail loves shoes, especially ones that are way too big for her.

Joshua and Abigail

I snapped a few pictures of the kids after church the other day...again playing around with my camera. The lighting is all wrong but some were still cute.















Joshua is getting so big and grown up. He is naturally so sweet, but can be very active and a bit of a handful. Lately his favorite question is why, and he asks it a thousand time a day. His favorite color is yellow, so we end up washing our yellow plastic ware often. He loves blocks, legos, playmobil, and race cars. We love him and have to always stay on our toes.



Abigail is an independent monkey. She climbs up on anything and loves to get herself dressed and redressed several times a day...sometimes she gets the holes in the clothes confused. She is hilarious and is always keeping us smiling.
