Josh's Birthday!

We had so many parties for Josh's birthday! On Saturday the 25th (after I confused most of the parents with my invitations) we had Josh's "Friend" party. We had so much fun. They played games that I loved when I was little, went on a treasure hunt and had cake and ice cream. The best part was watching TJ ride Josh's dirt bike, but she made me promise that I wouldn't post the pictures :(. On Sunday we had the birthday base with to celebrate TJ and Josh's birthday. We ate and ate at my moms and then played football. On Tuesday, Josh's actual birthday I had everyone over for soup and rolls. I felt horrible that day, but I learned the next day at the doctor that the stomach bacteria I caught last year (it's a great one, it stays with you until you die, and goes into remission with medicine) was back, and that I had taken the wrong medicine so my ulcer had grown for an entire year! Fun!

Halloween

This year Josh dressed up as a foot ball player, but oh the drama. He thought that the football pads made him look fat. Kent had to talk to him for along time to get him to wear it.

Emery decided at the very last minute that she wanted to be a witch. So she was a princess witch!

Family Pics

We took family pictures two weeks ago. LeeAnn Gartrell took them and they are so great! I can't post any of them here dangit! Being that we are true rednecks, we took them in front of the haystack, (in my defense, I loved the colors and the textures) with our horse. The horse was Kent's idea. Shadow didn't smile. I did snap a picture of Emery before we started.

Soccer!

This year Josh decided he wanted to try soccer.

He had the best time. McKay Russell was on his team and we car pooled. Josh's last game was on Saturday. They only lost one game the entire season (a whopping six weeks). They aren't suppose to keep track of the score, just like tee-ball, but Josh would yell out the score after every goal! We need to work on sportsmanship. His coach was great, he gave each player a personalized soccer trophy and certificate.

Go mini-moose.

A sidenote:

I'm feeling a little sorry for my kids.

We live in Sanford - have lots and lots of Indian attire

He now goes to school in Manassa - cannot wear Indian attire-Josh doesn't understand this

We go to San Luis for church - Josh and Emery aren't liking this one

He plays soccer for Alamosa - mini-moose

What color am I supposed to dress him in? :)
