A day to catch our breath

It seems we've been going, running, working, and running some more for the last few months. Today is finally a day that Joshua and I are able to stay home and play! Woo hoo!!!!

My morning started off with a beautiful serenade

Joshua and I cut out snowflakes and pretended it was snowing again (wishful thinking)...

Practicing numbers and drawing some pictures

Joshua has the cars set up in the town, so we are off to create another adventure.....

Enjoy the day!

Happy, Merry, Happy

Happy Thanksgiving!

Merry Christmas!

Happy New Year!

It's been a whirlwind of holidays, but we've had a lot of fun! It seems every year once October 1st passes, that our lives spin out of control in warp speed. Will it ever slow down? I don't know, but we just try to enjoy each day.

We were so excited all week about the possibility of snow...and yes...we did get some!!! Not as much as we hoped for, but enough to have a little fun.

A crisp fall day

As you can see, we've had a little bit of a blog crash. It seems the server where my graphics and photos were stored had a problem and I'm not able to retrieve them. No worries though....I am working on a new layout, but it is on the back burner as so many other projects take priority this time of year.

I am going to post pictures from Joshua's party but just haven't had a chance to get them all edited. Between me and my sister taking pictures and video that day, I think we had about 400 photos! What? Yes, it was only a few hours, but we both enjoy lots of pictures!

Anyway, something easier for today....Joshua and I had to run an errand this morning and when we got home there were so many pretty leaves falling in our yard. I remember when I was little raking leaves just so we could jump in the pile of leaves and then do it again and again and again. It was many hours of pure fun! Anyway when we got out of the car Joshua and I ran inside to get his rake and started making a pile of leaves. He had never raked leaves or jumped in a pile of leaves so this was a new adventure for him. And boy did he ever have fun!

Off to attempt making a ghost costume....Happy Halloween!

Joshua's 4th Birthday

Joshua's 4th birthday was yesterday! He had a great time at the fire station and playing with all of his friends.

Here's a little video to celebrate Joshua's 4th birthday:

The 1st soccer game

Our first soccer game was rained out, but we were able to play this past Tuesday. The first game was fun and funny. The games are played with three players from each team, but no goalie and no referee, the coaches play this role, and apparently no out of bounds.

On the line

Chasing the ball

Takin' it to the goal

Bringing it back around

The Triumphant Lions

The team did really well. We are so proud of all of the players! We also don't keep an official score, but of course, the parents were keeping score and we won our first game!

Joshua ran super fast, chased the ball, kicked the ball, helped out his team and only picked a few flowers and weeds along the way. He was awesome!
