Nathan took some pictures of Josiah waking up. It is a very funny process as you will see. The light is not actually turned on, so all the light is made from the flash. (Notice his "baby" laying under him.)
He almost always wakes up with this smile on his face. Sooo precious!
I just love this picture of Josiah and his little Sis. She lights up everytime he comes around her. I can't wait to watch them grow up together.
We had a great time swimming at Nicole's pool. The kids were so good and had a blast. Josie even got a little nap while in the pool.
Josiah and his cousin Logan. These two really are two peas in a pod. I have a feeling they are always gonna be best buddies.

Josie loves playing with cicadas. She crawls after them and tries to squeeze them in her hand. Yuck! She hasn't killed or eaten one yet (cross fingers), but she sure enjoys them. In 17 years, I will show her these pictures when she hates them like the rest of us!
We had a wonderful time at Granny's (my mom) house last week. We got all the cousins together for a picnic and then walk to a neighborhood park to play for a while.
These two are best buddies, although they do fight like brothers :)
We enjoy our evenings at the Y pool. We like to watch daddy dive off the diving board, and I am even spending some time doing laps.
For some strange reason, Annie enjoys laying on the ground instead of a nice comfy chair. Nathan says she likes that the ground is warm.
Annie got to see lots of her favorite characters at Kings Island. It is so fun for me to see her get so excited, because I know soon she will be to old to care. Josiah, on the other hand, won't let them get any where near him :)
Josiah told me just today the Annie was his best friend. I hope they always love each other this much!!
My two beautiful girls!
We had a wonderful Father's Day together as a family. First, we went to Journey (our wonderful church). Then to lunch at our favorite restaurant, Cheddar's, with our Pastor and his family. After a long nap for all of us, we went to the Beach Waterpark. It was a fun filled Father's Day for sure :)
Josie fell asleep at lunch in her daddy's arms. She sure loves that guy!!
We went to the Beach waterpark and Nathan joined us there. It was a nice sunny day, but the water was still a little cool. Annie is our little daredevil; she doesn't care about cold water and she will ride just about any scary water ride. I love that about her.
My beautiful sleepy boy! Josiah had had just about enough of fun in the sun. He got overheated and when we got home he had 102 temperature. Sorry little buddy!
We had a terribly stormy night. The sirens went off 2 times to tell us there was a tornado warning. We decided to let the kids sleep in our room on the first floor just to be safe. At 3 a.m. we carried them up to their bed.
Josie and Lincoln do not like grass. We had to get a picture of them sticking up their foot, so they do not have to touch the grass. So cute!
