Joshua has another first

Joshua started Vacation Bible School last night at our church.  He wasn't very excited about it, but indeed had a great time.  VBS lasts till Thursday evening.  Jeremy has a ball game Thursday evening and then we are off to Florida to see "Mickey's Castle"!!!!

Taking Preschool by Storm

Today Joshua began a new chapter in his life.  He has moved from in-home child care to an official preschool/daycare.  He is now carrying on a family tradition as an Oak Grove kid because Jeremy went there too. Jackie and I both got to see him off on his new adventure.  We were both very proud of him, there were no tears (from either him or us), he gave us hugs and kisses and ran off to play with the other kids. I check on him a couple times and the teachers say that he is doing great and only tried to sneak off to the playground a couple times.

Joshua goes to the dentist

Joshua at his first dental appointment. He is one cool dude!!!!! Love those shades!! He is talking to our dentist, Dr. Angela Martin. He did very well at his appointment. He didn't bite the dentist!! And his teeth are in good shape.

Catching up

Well, thought we would get pictures downloaded and get this blog up to date...but it's not happening...so we'll just update for now.

Christmas was a blast this year. Joshua was truly in to it!!! We had Christmas at our house this year with both grandmas with us for the weekend. The boys got everything they wanted and more! The New Year came and went...we spent it at home.

Valentine's Day was fun. The boys gave their Moms each a dozen roses. Jeremy loves to give flowers!! Then we had Momma's birthday on the 28th. Jeremy was sick so we stayed home and grilled steaks! Yum-Yum. Jeremy's birthday is coming up next. We get to go to the Clarion and go swimming and play putt-putt the weekend after his birthday. He is bringing some friends, too. Momma is taking the boys to a K-State Baseball game on Friday afternoon since they are out of school.

Both boys are in swimming lessons. Joshua cries when his lesson is done. He wants more!! They have him jumping off of the diving board. He loves it! When we get there, he asks if he can go off the board.

January and February have been filled with basketball every weekend. Jeremy is playing on the 5th grade Mavericks team. They have done well. Now it's March and basketball will be over this weekend and we'll have so much time on our hands, we won't know what to do!! Probably not!!

Joshua is growing by leaps and bounds. He is 38 inches tall and weighs 42 pounds. He had his eyes checked last week and he's got good vision. He starts going to the dentist in April. Probably ought to take him to the hearing doctor, cause there are times that he doesn't hear us talk to him...could just be that male "ignore me" thing! Ha! He has been totally potty trained since December. Kind of nice not having to buy diapers anymore!

In June, he will start pre-school at Oak Grove Pre-School. This is where Jeremy went to pre-school and we really liked it. He will go for one week and then it's off to Mickey's Castle (as he calls it), the rest of us know it as Disney World, for a weeks vacation. We are all looking forward to going to Florida.

That catches us up, I think. Maybe we'll get some pictures downloaded before next Christmas!
