Happy 18 Months old JOSH!

My baby is officially 18 months old today! Time flies when you're having fun! I thought I'd post some pictures of the last month and to be able to see how fast he grows (and how he has thinned out! :) ) I am so greatful for having Josh in our lives. He has been so much fun to have with us and I feel so blessed to be able to be his mom. I truly am enjoying his age right now. I look back at the last 18 months and realize how much more I enjoy this age instead of him being little! He cracks me up all day and I love seeing him learn new things every day. I can't wait for the next 18 months! Love you JOSHY!

I got sucked in!

Yes, I got sucked into TWILIGHT...and not just the first book, the ENTIRE saga! At the beginning of August I decided to buy Twilight because I needed something to do at work, because I was scheduled on Rehab, and needless to say, it is a very boring place to work and I needed something to do. Anyway, the rest is history. I have all four books and just finished Breaking Dawn last night at work. Yes, that is roughly 1800 pages I've read in one month! Needless to say, my house is not very clean, I have neglected the house work so I could read these darn books! But, oh my goodness they are so stinkin' good! I even watched the movie! Agh, and I can't wait for the next movie, "New Moon" to come out in November! I feel like a dork for LOVING these books! I was so sad to finish the last book last night! Oh well, now I need some other REALLY good books to read. Has any of you read the new Stephanie Meyers book yet? I don't know what it is called, I'm wondering if it's any good! Let me know!
Oh yeah, one more thing...Edward is so dreamy! YUMMY! (And yes, Dave totally makes fun of me for my new love of this vampire stuff! I know, I"M A HUGE DORK!)

Where did August go?

So where did August seriously go? I feel like it just flew by and a few days ago realized it was now September! Ugh, I HATE the end of summer! Even though I always look forward to fall, but I just DREAD winter. Anyway, to give a little sumary of what we've done this last month...not much except for the same ol' stuff! I'll give a little update on each of us:

JOSH: He just keeps on growing and turning into a "bigger" little boy. The other day I just looked at him and thought to myself, "He isn't a little baby, he really is a little boy. It kind of makes me sad, but not really! I truly have loved this age he is at right now...which by the way, he is going to be 18 months on Monday! I can't believe how time truly does fly! Speaking of 18 months old, yes, I have already taken him to nursery twice. The first time he lasted an hour all by himself. Last Sunday was a little different. I ended up staying in there with him the entire time. Honestly, this church schedule we have sucks! We go from 1-4pm. Conveniently right during Josh's nap time. It has made it very hard, because Josh isn't his happy little self usually, so trying to convince him to stay in nursery is going to be quite a struggle until January, when we start going at 9am. Can't wait! Anyway, he is learning a lot and doing a lot more on his own. He is doing quite well in feeding himself, except when he eats applesauce, it doesn't stay on the spoon very well and ends up going down his shirt! I hate letting him feed himself sometimes though because it is far from being a clean activity! By the end of the day his clothes are filthy! Oh well, he's got to learn! Also, Josh is "talking" so much! He starts talking the instant he wakes up and doesn't stop until he falls asleep! The problem is, he isn't making sense. He doesn't say a lot of actual words, it's just noises, he points at everything to show me what he wants. The funny thing is though, he understands so much of what we tell him. Our favorite is at bedtime we'll say to him "JOsh, go brush your teeth and get your blanket" He then goes and grabs his toothbrush/toothpaste and his blanket. He's so cute! Hopefully he'll start talking ENGLISH! I always get nervous that he isn't "where he should be", in his development! I'm sure it'll come!

DAVE: Dave started school at the end of August. It was a bummer to send him back because it was so nice to have him home with us..and because I never had to pay for a babysitter while I was working! But it is a good thing he is going back, because then it's just that much closer to GRADUATION! :) He is doing really well. He really likes this semester, they are focusing on pediatrics this semester. He is really excited to do his internship for this course. He is going to do it here in Davis County school district. Also, he celebrated his 28th birthday...well not in August, but close to it! September 2! We had a good time. We actually celebrated on the 1st because I had to work on the 2nd. We went to dinner at Applebee's with my parents and then came home and had cake and ice cream with the rest of my family. Then on the 2nd, in the morning before he went to school, and I went to work, Josh and I gave him his presents! Very exciting! NOT! I got him a new "temple" bag, instead of using his backpack, a HUGE bag of peanut M&M's from Sam's club! And then I got him a book by Pres. Monson he's been wanting for a long time. Also, we are going to spend a night somewhere (like Park City maybe) in October or November, and stay the night there and be by ourselves! Josh is 18 months old, it's about time he stays a night at Grandma and Grandpa Fisher's house! They are very excited to have him stay with them for a night! Anyway, it was a good birthday! (Except for the fact that the Gray family needs to work on calling there brother/son on his birthday! Come on Gray's get a calender or something!:)

Me: I too celebrated my birthday on August 11th. Yeah, one more year older! Yes, I am now 29 years old and yes, I am a year older than my husband! :) It was a very nice birthday actually. Dave got me a Friends Season 5, an hour massage, and a cute card he drew....he never buys cards, he makes them! It is a little child-like but I LOVE the cards! They always are so sweet! Then we had a simple bbq at my dad's house and had cake and ice cream with my entire family, including my grandparents. It was a very simple and nice bday.
I hit my year mark at Davis Hospital. I can't believe it's already been a year. Time flies! Honestly I like it most of the time, but truthfully I wish I didn't have to work full time. I'm going to say this once, all you "stay at home mom's", please don't complain about staying at home with your kids, trust me, it's a great blessing you get to do it! And, also, I am getting SO sick of people saying to me, "Oh, you HAVE to work? I'm so sorry for you!" AGGGGGGHHHHH, to those people, just don't talk to me! I get SO SICK of it! (It usually occurs at church for some reason)
Sorry, that was a little release of some stress I've been having lately! Felt good! :)

Anyway, that is about it! I'm sure I missed a lot, but oh well! Here are some pics from the last month!




Josh and I just hanging out on the couch!
My big little boy in his new shoes! He LOVES these shoes! Which by the way, I got these nice tennis shoes at Target for.....$9.99, not bad!





Josh stealing the m&m's from Dave...this bag weighs almost as much as Josh does....almost!


Dave and his gifts! What a cute and wonderful husband I have!
