Josh turns 7

I can't believe how fast time flies. Where did all the years go? This sweet, lovable, brown eyed boy of mine is 7! He was so excited for his birthday party with his friend and for his real birthday which we celebrated in California. What can I say about Josh? He is always happy. He has a smile on his face all the time and always tries to do what is right. He loves to help and is my biggest helper. I love it! He is always willing to do whatever is asked of him. He is learning so much this year and his memory is amazing when it comes to places we have been. He can remember anything that has to do with food! He loves to eat and is a great eater.
Josh, I hope you keep your happy personality always and that you always try to do what is right even when others may not. Mom and Dad love you so much and thank Heavenly Father every day for the gift of having you come into our lives. You are a ray of sunshine, that lights up our life each and every day with your infectious smile and laugh. We love you!
Happy Birthday

California

We decided to head down to California for President's weekend. We were going to visit Grammie and Poppa and take the boys whale watching. We were excited, the boys love to go to California. We prayed for good weather and on Saturday the skies were clear. The waves were a little big on the way out of the harbor but the boys had their binoculars and were ready to see some whales and dolphins. All we got were sea lions!! Andrew said it was a rip off! They kept looking and looking but the whales were hiding, I guess. Oh well we got free passes to come back and try again. Hopefully when we go next time, we will see SOMETHING!!

This is how Alex spent most of his time.

Josh's Basketball Season

Josh played on a basketball team again this year and Eric got the lucky task of being the coach. Josh had a great time and learned some new skills. It is funny to watch Kindergarteners and 1st graders play, they like to pass to their friends only and of course they always want to shoot! It was good times.
