For Cute.

We visited Pearl Harbor.

On the Memorial

We went to church.

And of course, the beach

We played in the sand...

and buried Josh!



We had a BLAST on our getaway!

Josh did great on the plane, and adjusted well to the time change.

He loved the beach, the sand, and lots of fun!

Kaden, our nephew was great to travel with - and was such a help entertaining Josh!

UPdate

Lots new around our house - just to busy to blog about it.

Paige got a new job at St. George Care - as their SDC - staff development coordinator - she does lots of stuff - education, infection control, administrative stuff, the list goes on and on. It has been quite the transition - but she's hanging in there.

Nick is still the bestest daddy in the entire world. He is still working at the hospital - and not much is new there.

Josh is a very active almost 2 year old. Can you believe it? Almost 2!! He loves to run, jump, bite, yes bite, play, scream, yell, kiss, say no, and just be the cutest boy you've ever met. Every night or nap time, we must read 3 books. The same 3 books. In the same order. If we try to change it up - this little man lets us know we were messin with the wrong boy! :)

Isn't he so handsome? All ready for church!


Our biggest news is that soon we are headed to Hawaii - It will be a family adventure - mom, dad, and Josh - and we are taking our 12 year old nephew Kaden. We are super excited - to get away, relax, fly on an 'hair-plane,' and have a blast!

Josh is ready for snorkeling! We're sure he is the cutest thing ever!

Blessing Day

Nick's Little Sister Ashley -and her husband Devin - blessed their twin boys on Saturday. It was great! Korbin and Mckoy are getting so big! It is amazing to think they were 11 weeks early - but here they are - at 6 months old - healthy - and just as normal as a full term 6 month old. They are super duper cute

Proud Grandpa and Grandma Marshall

Us with the boys - Josh loves loves loves those babies!

It was a great day! We are so happy for their little family - we think the world of them! They are the best!

Randomness

Josh is such a goof! We are loving every second of him! Here are some of our latest happenings: This cute boy - loves loves loves cereal - you can find him carrying around the bag - and munching all the time!

I know this is not a pretty picture at all - - - but Josh is on a snuggle kick - and I'll take all the snuggles I can get - Every night - this is our routine - snuggle, milk, and blanket. I am loving it!

Mr. Cool Dude - loving those sun glasses! He is super stylish!

The other day, Andrea called to see if we wanted to come slip'n'slide - We were excited - because it was so blasted hot! Josh was not as excited as we thought he'd be!

Learning how to drink out of the sprayer from Tanner!

Getting Ready to go down the slide. . .

Here is a Video of the slide -

After the Slide - he was not loving it. Sad boy.

But Andrea to the rescue - trying to get him interested in the cool water...

Andrea is the best Auntie ever! She blew bubbles for Josh trying to get him interested!

Camrie - getting a much needed drink! :)

Mr. Tanner - so darn cute!

Memorial Day - at the Farm

We celebrated Memorial Day in Minersville, with Nick's family! Josh LOVES farm animals, tractors, and all things cowboy. So, we took him to Grandpa's farm for his very first visit. He had a blast!!

First thing - Josh saw the tractor and started saying 'please' 'dada' 'trac-tor' - so Nick - got back into his farming groove - and took the little man for a ride - he was so excited!!

Look at me momma - I'm driving - he kept saying bye bye bye goodbye!

My cute boys on their ride!

Hello!

Next, we headed out to one of Grandpa's fields to check out the cows and horses - Josh just stared at the animals! He loved it!

Nick put him up on the fence, at first he didn't like it, and wanted to be held...

But, pretty soon, he crawled up by himself - such a big boy!

Aunt Adrienne and cousin Shakell headed out into the field to round up some horses for Josh to see up close, he was having a hard time waiting for them to come back - but he wouldn't get on the other side of the fence with Nick, to walk through the field. He kept crying every time we'd take him over the fence... so he just waited and waited, and just jabbered non-stop about the birds, cows, horses, grandpa, everything -

Here he is waiting with Grandma for those horses!

Finally, he allowed Nick to take him to the horses -

He loved it!

He gave the horses lots of kisses!

Next we wandered around the farm, here he is running around with Alyssa. Gus and Adrienne's kids take such good care of Josh - and he loves them to pieces! This trip he was very much attached to the girls - Shakell, Aryale, and Alyssa!

Before we could leave the farm - another tractor ride was a must! This time, they rode in a different tractor -

Josh was so excited!

You can't see it in a picture, but Josh was so excited! He was jumping up and down, laughing, screaming, waving - he was loving his tractor ride with his daddy!

We had a blast at the farm!

I love seeing Nick at the farm - you wouldn't know it - but he is a farm boy at heart!

Even though he 'hates' farm work - it is so cute to watch him - and fun to realize how much knows about all that stuff! I don't give him enough credit for how darn smart he is!

I think he had a great time showing Joshy around the farm - and giving his boy a tractor ride or two!

It is so fun to spend time with Nick's family - Josh just loves loves loves Grandpa Marshall - We are so lucky to have such a great family!
