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.

Sitting Bull and other stories

Ben and Josh in front of the Rhododendron.


I apparently have this macro setting that I am just barely figuring out...


In the box his highchair came in! Peekabo!

With a newborn sized hat on

New high chair that he can't fall out of!

The first time that my bread has looked good and Tasted good! The loaves were a little small though...

Our version of Laundry basket surprise...

I just give him his basket and he is usually good for a little while...

Yay for sitting up!

Alexander loves to have things on his head, even if it is my headband! :) ha ha Mark!


outdoor boy Alexander on another adventure!

Mark cheezing it up

Ben providing shade for Joshy.




Spring


Spring's Cousin Sarah and her Fiance Kelly.

They are starting to play together... but just barely.


Sucking on his thumb he started this after he started to teeth. Needless to say Ben tries to make him stop.

Having fun in the back yard.
