We got it!

We FINALLY got it after 4 months of trying! We finally got Joss to laugh for the camera. It isn't the best one, but it is still her cute little laugh.

Gummy Bear Dreams

Back when Patrick and I were dating he told me of one of his life long dreams, and I laughed at him. Now, before you think me insensitive, I'm not saying that I'm not, but hear me out first.

We were walking through Target and we came across a bag of gummy bears. Patrick tells me that they are one of his favorite candies and that it is his life's goal to buy a really big bag of gummy bears for under a dollar.

Now who wouldn't laugh at that! Its not your usual life goal though knowing Patrick it is no surprise that he wants it under a dollar. :)

Anyway, I came across this "GIANT 1/2 pound gummy bear on a stick", and thought of that day.

Happy Fourth of July

This year since we watched the fireworks last weekend, we opted to stay home in the comfort of our A/C and play games.

We invited Mike and Kristi to stay after they watched Joslyn for us while we went to see Wicked. We had hamburgers and hotdogs with watermelon and curly fries. We ate picnic style in our furniturely challenged living room.

After dinner, we played Last Word and Clue. (Patrick wants me to let you all know that he won both games.) After games, we ate yummy ice cream sundaes.

We meant to watch the fireworks that were broadcast on t.v., but we never got around to turning it on. :)

Here is Joslyn all ready to celebrate the Fourth. You can't see it in these pictures, but Joslyn has a red bow tied at her waist for her "red, white and blue".

It's Totally Wicked!

Patrick and I went to see the musical Wicked for the Fourth of July. We had so much fun, best of all, Aunt Kristi and Uncle Mike came and watched Joss for us while we went, so we got to spend some time alone!

Patrick said that it was funny and that he enjoyed it, but he thought the tickets were too expensive. (Surprised? I'm not :)

Here is a picture us waiting for the fun to start!



And here is a picture of us at intermission. (Patrick is only pretending to be asleep.)



And here is what he really looked like.

First Foods

Joslyn LOVES to eat! It is one of her favorite pastimes. She is loving getting to try new foods, not that she has had many, but she loves it. So far, she has had oatmeal, applesauce and pumpkin. Next to try are peas, carrots, zucchini, peaches, pears and bananas. I love that everything is so new to her. It is such a great time!

Also, she is now getting up on all fours and she rolls or scoots herself to where she wants to be.

Pre-Fourth of July Celebration

For the last few years, a group of friends and I have gone to a local park for fireworks on the Saturday before the Fourth of July. It is a big show or anything it is just lots of fun and the fireworks are really close and there aren't the huge crowds like on the Fourth.

In the past, we have gotten there early and brought food and games to play. It has always been fun, but the Arizona heat is not! This year, since Kristi lives about three blocks away from the park, we chose to eat dinner at her apartment and then walk over in time for the fireworks. It was a much better plan! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera when we left and I only got one picture with my phone. So, here it is.
