Joshua is 2!!!!!

Joshua, I can't believe you're two. It seems like just yesterday you were born. The past two years have been a real adventure. You are such a sweet little boy and I love when you want to cuddle. At the same time, you are a boy through and through. You love guns, dirt, hitting, kicking, spitting, wrestling with your Dad, being outside and you can eat like no other toddler I've known. You love to be messy and fear very little.
For the most part, you will sleep through the night and are still taking a 2 hour nap during the day. I thank you for that. You love to read books and are always so curious about what's going on around you. Whenever Mom or Dad leave, you always want to know where we're going and if you can go.
If you're not fighting with your big sister, than you two are best friends. Everything she does, you have to try. You're not a big fan of nursery yet, but we are working on it. As soon as it gets warm outside, we will begin potty training. I know you're smart enough to do it, it's just a matter if you want to or not.
You are so protective of your baby sister Olivia. She is lucky to have you as a guardian.
Oma and Pa think the world of you and you'd spend all your time with them if we let you.
Joshua, I hope and pray you know how much you are loved and needed in this family. You have so much potential!!
Love you Kiddo,
Mom

Time has flown by, I can hardly believe it!!! My sweet little Olivia is already 2 months old. She just went to the doctors last Tuesday and she weighed 9lbs 12oz. It might not seem like much but just 2 months ago she weighed 5lbs 9oz. She is still such a good baby. She is sleeping anywhere from 5-7 hours at night and I am so greatful for that. She loves to be held which works out great because I love to hold her and so does her big sister Isabel. Olivia is so lucky to have wonderful older siblings. Isabel adores Olivia and wants to and tries to help with everything. She is my biggest helper and I am so thankful for her. Joshua adores his baby sister and is always concerned when he hears her crying. We love you Olivia and can't imagine life without you in it!!!

We LOVE being outside. Everyone is happier and when it's bedtime, the kids are so ready. We are ready for water games, swinging, picnics, BBQs, bike rides and walks.














RODEO!!!! We went to the rodeo and the kids were so amazed with everything. They even sat through all 2.5 hours of it.


Trouble makers


Bunny friends. Isabel has so much fun playing with her friend Keyton. Their imaginations are endless.

















We had a wonderful Easter. The ids loved their Easter baskets and even though there was snow covered ground, they love the easter egg hunts.


Aunt Jenni is SO good with her nieces and nephews. And they love her so much. My kids love to sit on her lap and watch silly cat videos on her cellphone. Thanks Jenni for being such a wonderful sister and Aunt.


Oh my sweet Olivia. She is such a wonderful baby. I'm so lucky to have such a good baby. She hardly cries and loves to cuddle. In this picture she is 4 weeks old and weighs 6lb 12oz. She's growing so fast. I love this newborn stage but look forward to seeing her personality shine through. I love you Olivia!!
