Happy Birthday Andrew

Today was Andrew's 2nd birthday. We started off the day opening one present...then Andrew got soooo hungry he couldn't wait anymore to eat breakfast....so we put the rest of the presents on hold until after breakfast. After a wonderful pancake breakfast he opened the rest of his presents. He got to be pretty good at opening!...of course, he had lots of help from his big brother! We went to Panda Express for lunch, let him skip his nap...not our choice, and then went to a friends house for dinner and cake! He did a great job at attempting to blow out the candles, but while we were all singing he got really shy and didn't like all the attention. Anyway, hope you had a great birthday AnDrEw!!

Wii Workout

Our kids love the wii! The other day Josh got VERY sweaty while playing some wii boxing. His hair got all wet...he didn't really like the feeling though. Ever since then he makes it a point not to get so "wet."
Andrew likes to box as well. It's soo cute to watch them play "knock knock" together!

Big Boy Bed

We finally purchased, picked up, and put together the boy's bunk beds! Just Josh is sleeping in it so far, but our hope is to have Andrew sleeping in it within the next 6 months. Josh loved his bed and stayed in it all night. He was even all ready for bed at 7:50pm because he just wanted to sleep in his new bed! Way to go Josh!

First Day of School

Today was Josh's first day of preschool. He was SOOO excited to go! His favorite things they did were paint and sing. We are involved in a co-op so sometimes preschool will be at our house. We have class on Tuesdays for 2 1/2 hours and then a corresponding field trip on Thursdays. Way to go Josh for having such a good first day!

Enjoy!

Ward Campout

Last Friday night was our ward camp out at Cape Lookout State Park. The campground is about a five minute walk away from the ocean! It was sooooo fun! We arrived at our camp site about 4pm after an hour and a half drive to the coast. We set up camp and made tin foil dinners. They were YUMMMMMY! Darrin did a great job cooking them! We had fun hanging out with our friends that night....the kids actually went to bed pretty easy for us. Josh was especially excited to slept in the tent! Everyone slept pretty well aside from the fact that it was freezing cold. Hopefully the kids were warm enough. It was really weird though to lay in bed and hear the ocean. It kinda freaked me out! We woke up that morning to a wonderful breakfast provided by the ward. After breaking camp we walked to the beach and played in the sand for awhile. The weather was BEAUTIFUL...no wind, full sun, and 70 degrees! Josh was scared of the water and preferred staying way back, but other than that everyone enjoyed themselves!

Highlighted

Last week I decided to do something totally out of the ordinary and have a friend highlight my hair. Angela did a great job, and it turned out just how I wanted it...barely noticeable! Josh couldn't quite figure out what we were up to (I love his face of curiosity in the first picture!)...but continued to play without worrying too much about it!
