A trip to the dentist

A visit to the dentist can be scary for most anyone, but for a little one going for the first time it can be an especially scary event. Fortunately we have a very kind and gentle dentist, Dr. White. It also helps that Dr. White's son, Jared, is one of Joshua's buddies at school. So even though Joshua was a little nervous yesterday, when Dr. White walked into the room, Ronnie asked Joshua, "Who is this?" and Joshua answered with a big smile, "Jared's daddy!"

All done!

New boots

Last year, around Joshua's birthday we bought him his first pair of "cowboy boots". Originally we went to the store looking for a new pair of shoes, but when he saw those boots, that was all he wanted. He was so very, very excited about them and wore them home from the store and then wore them everywhere!

October 2008Eventually as the weather warmed up, we convinced him to wear his crocs or tennis shoes, but he continued to wear those boots whenever he could. By early summer, he had really outgrown the boots, but would shove that little foot in and wear them anyways.

Last Friday night we went back to that same store to buy Joshua a new pair of boots. Sure enough the store had them and we bought them. (I know his foot really was shoved into the old pair because he went from an 8 last year to a 10 this year!) Again, he was so excited!

And wore them home from the store again.
And wore them to church on Sunday!

And will probably wear them everywhere.

My little cowboy sweetie - He loves his boots!

Swinging!!!

It's almost too hot to play outside these days, but here are a few fun pictures:

A funny for the week

Because of my work schedule and commute, Ronnie drops Joshua off at school each morning and picks him up in the afternoon. This past week, Ronnie told Joshua he would take him to Dairy Queen after school one day.

On Tuesday, I had to work late, so Ronnie decided to take Joshua that evening on the way home from school. As they pulled into the parking lot, Ronnie asked Joshua, "Do you want to go in or drive through and take it home?" Joshua said he wanted to go in. Ronnie then told him, "Now when we go in you need to behave, ok?" Joshua said, "Ok daddy, I'll behave. That means no running and no picking boogers." That's my boy!

A day full of friends

Today we spent the day with wonderful friends at church and a birthday party.

Elders Stan Lee and Will Martin were the visiting preachers today at Mt. Paran's annual meeting. They were both very blessed by the Lord to deliver beautiful, comforting messages. We are looking forward to another wonderful day tomorrow. I hope to have some pictures to post tomorrow. I snapped a few shots today, but forgot to get the camera out early in the day.

After church today, we were invited to a birthday party at the John Deere showroom! It was a really cool place to have a party.

The birthday boy, Andrew

I think Joshua will want one of these soon!
