The many adventures of Joshua

Joshua LOVES to play the piano! He's always trying to get to it.

We spent an afternoon at the pool at Dave and Jen's place, he loved the water too

Preparing to float down the river...

More Joshy at the pool...

And just for good measure...

The First Date....Joshy and Lizzie

So, first of all, sorry all these videos have been so grainy, they were taken with my phone. Anyway, we spent most of today with Dave and Jen Stevens down in Olympia. This is Josh and their daughter Lizzie (two weeks younger than Joshua) playing together in their front room. Lizzie was not very impressed with the way Joshua manhandled her toys, but he decided to make the first move anyway....

Joshua and Alexander

We were at Spring's parents' house today for dinner. Joshua and Alexander were both playing in the playroom that they have. It's funny how Alexander doesn't even seem to notice that Joshua is there, even when he crawls right over the top of him! Near the end of the video, Alex keeps on looking back at me like, "Aren't you going to do anything about this?"

Joshua versus the banana

Joshua won...

Father's Day in Washington, DC

That's a big pig....

Mary and her friend Stephanie riding the pig

Sir Walter Raleigh made a visit

Remember (for those of you in Mary's side of the family) When Mom told us that someone important was coming for dinner and we cleaned the entire house and it ended up being a TAPE! One that was called something like Beethoven comes to dinner or something. We had Sir Walter Raleigh over for dinner. Sorta... see below :)

Well not really........Joshua kinda looked like him.

For the first time I made Sunday dinner for us. We have always eaten at Ben's parents house. They are out of town so I made Corn and Gravy,

Mashed potatoes

And Oven Fried Chicken! (thanks Thora for the recipe!)

Here is the whole spread. (Josh had green beans)

This is from a preparedness fair our ward had. I made a dried apple pie. It tasted ok (I don't like apple pie) I had the hardest time making the crust for some reason. Made me want to pull out my hair. I had to throw a whole batch away!

Josh loves to play with the lid of his booster seat.

I love it when he looks at us through it!

Here he is looking though it again

Chewing on a tooth brush Mommy got at the dentist. (don't worry I never used it)

See you have to hold it correctly and then place it on the tooth in 45 degree angle toward the gum and brush in circles....Daddy taught

More bread.

first time it ever looked and tasted good.
