OK . . . it's been forever . . .

Sorry folks . . . it's been a long time since a post! This is "pa" and Joshua before we lit the fireworks on the 4th . . . looks like a barrel of fun, eh? Ha, Ha!

For all of you interested parties . . . potty training is going . . uh . . . well. . . it's going! I think we're going to take a sabattical for a couple of months and try again! Just doesn't seem to be a lot of interest on Joshua's part! As you can tell, we're even bringing Elmo into the process! I think we should get an "A" for creativity!

This would be after a meal of prunes, peas, biter biscuit and red cherry jello! Yum, yum!

This was Kayla's new trick this week!

Our little baby . . . 8 months old!

On the move!

Kayla's not crawling yet . . . but she somehow manages to get exactly where she wants to. This is her latest move! Do you know how much strength it takes to do that?

Like I said . . . she can get anywhere!

OK . . . yesterday I heard Joshua say, "fill up gas" . . . and then went into the living room to see him putting together the sweeper attachments! Too funny!

Pre July 4th

Steve and Rebecca came over to "help" Joshua celebrate the 4th a little early. . .

. . . and then the neighborhood kids came over, too!

Daddy and Kayla

One last horrah!

I am way late in posting these pics, but thought I would anyway. The night before the IN crew left, everyone came to our place. It was so much fun! The fine art of guitar hero. . .

Uh . . .yes . . . the boys still got in a good 'ole wrestling match.

After MUCH convincing, EVERYONE got a chance to play guitar hero!

OK . . . this is fun to play with the boys for about the first 45 seconds . . . after that, all you do is put the cars back on to the track over and over because they "gun it" with the triggers and the cars go everywhere!
