Boating with the Becks

Our good friends, Brent and Candie Beck took us out on their very nice boat. The kids had such a blast! I could not believe that when we stopped to swim, Josiah didn't hesitate but just jumped right in the deep water. He kept asking to swim the whole day.

We were on the boat for 5 hours and the kids didn't complain one time. I hope we get to do it again real soon!

Josie was the best little baby on the boat, she didn't cry at all. She laughed a lot, especially when the boat went fast!

Here is little Josie floating all by herself in the huge lake. She absolutely loved it!! She was talking and singing and yelling! So adorable!

Annie on the tube with her daddy!!

Even mommies can have fun!!

Daddy and Josie in the lake!

My little family! A funny story: Josiah had to pee several times while on the boat so we let him go in the water. Well, he did not want to pee in his trunks, so Nathan would pull down his pants (we got mooned several times). One time, he decided he had to poop, so we docked the boat and he and Nathan trekked to the woods. Oh, the joys of parenthood :)

Josie and her legos

Josie loves playing legos, and I thought this pic of her was adorable!

The ironic thing is the outlet in the background. I suppose I need to get more outlet covers. She is just growing up way too fast!

Too cute!!!

Family Pics

My Annie and Me

Josie's smile is priceless. (Josiah's eyes are very sensitive.....:)

A Nice Pillow

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.

Swimming at Aunt Nicole's

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 and the Cicada

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!

Cousin Picnic

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 :)

Countin' My Blessings

Josiah told me just today the Annie was his best friend. I hope they always love each other this much!!

My two beautiful girls!

Father's Day 2008

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!!

OOO....Grass

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!

Mommy's Favorite Place!!

The kids and I love to eat at Frisch's. However, it is not Nathan's favorite place. The kids wanted a pic with Big Boy so here you go!

Josie's new favorite toy!

Josie loves Tammy, but unfortunately the feeling is not mutual :)

Josie's Big Sis

One of Annie's favorite things to do is push Josie in the stroller. She pushes her on walks and then just around the cul de sac. Josie likes it and it gives me a break. I just love when Annie or Josiah will walk up and Josie will just start cackling for no reason. She adores her big brother and sister and I am so glad they all have each other to make smile :)

Me and My Twin

I really do not know how anyone can think any different. I am amazed at how much my little Josie looks like me. It is funny because I always joked about how I would keep on having kids until I got one that looked like me. Thank goodness I didn't have to try too long. 

I even got a MySpace comment from someone I do not see too often that said "she is your twin" just from a photo she saw. I am so thankful for my baby girl Josephine.

Mother's Day 2008

What a special Mothers Day it was! We added Josie to our family this year. I am definitely the most blessed woman in the whole wide world to have these 3 beautiful kids. Thank you God for my children!

Josie's Baby Dedication at Journey

We dedicated Josie to Jesus on Mother's Day! What a special time to remember that she is not ours but on loan to care for until God uses her for His purpose someday. Amazing!
