Joshua has several "firsts" this weekend!!

The tubers!! Josh after his first ride. He almost fell asleep! I guess we were moving to slow........!

Zeph and Jeremy tubing!!

Joshua, Jeremy, Zeph and us went to the Riley Co. Fair last night. Joshua rode on the cars, motorcycles and the merry go round. It was his first time to ride the rides at the fair.

Jeremy and Zeph took Joshua on the merry go round.

Joshua also got to ride a pony for the first time!! He started slipping off, so then Mommy walked beside him. He wouldn't hold on!! What a cowboy!!

Joshua liked driving the cars! He layed on the horn the entire time!! Beep, beep, beep!! Oh what fun the fair is. All of the boys had a blast!! Mommy and Momma were tired!!!:-)

Earlier in the weekend we had a garage sale of some of our stuff and Mom's stuff that was left in her old house. Had a good sale. We only had to take a few things to Good Will. Her house has sold and they are closing this week. It's sad to have that part of her life gone, but we are happy to have her in a smaller place that she can manage for years to come, if she wants to. Have a good week!!

We have been very busy since our last post. Grandma T's house has sold so we have spent several days moving the things she didn't want out of her house and taking them down to our house for a garage sale this Saturday. Now we have a full living room and a full garage. We will spend this week marking items and trying to get our mowing done too.

We spent the weekend at the lake. We did go to Grandma T's to get the last load out. Then we went back to lake and put the boat in. The boys tubed, Jeremy and Jace (not Josh) and we all swam. Kelly and Roxie joined us. We had lots of fun.

Jeremy started practice for tackle football on Sunday. He had a blast!! While he and Diane went to that, Josh and Jackie went to a surprise 50th birthday party for our friend Mary Kay. It was at her sister's house, northeast of Salina. It was a good time and lots of kids for Josh to play with. He even got to pet a horse!! Debbie and Greg have a very nice place. Thanks to them for a lovely party and great food.

Oh, almost forgot, Jeremy got glasses on Friday! We'll have to get a pic and post it.

Jeremy's baseball is over and he's very happy. He says he doesn't want to play traveling anymore. We'll see!!

Josh continues to broaden his vocabulary everyday. He's starting to repeat what we say, so now we have to watch it!! Other than that, he hasn't changed much in the last 2 weeks. Still gets in to everything!!

Everyone have a great week!

Joshua is 19 months old today

Another month has gone by.....and they just keep flying!!! Joshua is 19 months old today. He is very smart. He will pick up his toys if you ask him to. The other day I asked him to pick up a piece of paper he had thrown on the floor and put it in the trash can. He did it!! Now, he likes playing in the trash can so that may have had something to do with it!!:-)

He has started to put two and three words together. He said "Man mow" the other day at Grandma T's. He has said "all done" for quite awhile. He jabbers about a lot of things, but most of that conversation is one sided because we don't understand his lingo yet!! One thing that is great is, he will tell us when he wants something to eat. Jeremy never did. Even as Jeremy got older, he wouldn't tell us he was hungry. Boy he does now, though!!!!

Jeremy has been at basketball camp this week at Washburn University where Di works. He enjoyed it a lot. He has next week off and then 3 weeks of Helen Hocker Theater camp in Topeka.

We are going to the lake this weekend. Hopefully the water isn't up too much more. They are talking about letting some out starting on the 5th. We know we won't have electricity but our friends have a generator so we may have everything except AC. Jackie's family will join us on Sunday for Dinner and fireworks. It will be a fun day. Hope it doesn't rain!!

Everybody have a safe 4th!
