Joshua Gunnar is 1

These are the pictures from Josh's real birthday on the 17th. He is a handsome little devil!

We decided to get a cookie decorating kit for his birthday treat this year. Since we knew he was going to have tons of cake for his birthday party, we thought it would be fun for everyone to make their own ghost and pumpkin cookies. He did get messy and the cookie did end up all over the floor after it had been hanging out on top of this head. Boys are way messier than girls!

Here are the pictures from Josh's first birthday party. He was a little unsure about digging right in with the cake, but he eventually realized that the taste was sweet enough to enjoy, even with everyone staring at him. 

So tired after a long eventful day!

And you can see his jumbo monster teeth well in this one. 

La Jolla/Gymnastics

Furlough days are great for beach visits! We decided to head down to La Jolla for the day. The weather was great and our two kiddos enjoyed themselves (Jaycee had PreK). It was nice to see Jayden smile so much and hear her talk too. Jaycee usually overshadows her by all her talking and bossiness :) Joshua Gunnar thought the beach and waves were amazing. He couldn't take his eyes off the waves and seals. It was a great Monday :)

Jayden started gymnastics last weekend. She goes once per week for about 45 minutes. She is doing really well and enjoys all the different stations. Jaycee had a trial day this weekend too, but we aren't sure if it's her thing. Jaycee has cheer starting soon so we are betting that's more up her alley!

Joshua's 11 Months!

I CANNOT believe that he is almost 1 year old! These first few pictures remind of the "poop or chocolate" scene from some movie. This was definitely chocolate! Gross anyway!

His crazy sisters playing silly. These girls are wild animals, and they are wild about each other. They play, fight, play, fight, etc. 

And if you look really closely at one of these pictures you can see Josh's pearly whites on the bottom. He has about 3 teeth on the bottom now. His upper teeth will be making an appearance any day now. He is a love bug that always gives Daddy a hard time. He is the ultimate Mama's boy and I love every minute of it! I hope he stays this way for a very, very long time. I can wish. . . 

Labor Day Weekend

We spent Labor Day weekend at Mum and Pa's house visiting with Opa Mike. These should have been really cute pictures, but getting three children under four to smile at the same time looking at the same person is impossible. These are some of the cute ones though.

Josh was only sad because his big sister was pretending to be sad. He wasn't sure what was going on. Figures Jayden isn't the one who is crying in this pic! Maybe someday they'll all smile for the camera.

Can you see Jaycee's Roseola rash? She got a random full bodied rash Saturday morning. We are happy to report that it has all disappeared! Whew! That was weird and scary!
