Happy 3rd birthday Joshua! (And a way overdue update!)

I know, I know, it has been FOREVER since I last posted anything! I will try and remember! There are multiple posts after this to give more updates...you know, like Christmas! :) Anyway, today his Josh's 3rd birthday! I can't believe 3 years ago we were blessed to have such a sweet little boy brought into our lives. We are so blessed to have him!
So the next few posts will explain what we did for Josh's birthday, and Christmas! Enjoy!
So I thought I would explain what is going on these last few months. So Dave finished his last semester of classes in December and then got to be at home with us throughout December, but began his last internship with Weber County School District at the beginning of January. I was really looking forward to it, but dreading it also because he would be working full time which meant I wasn't going to be able to sleep in...EVER! I would get home from work around 4am and sleep until whenever Josh wakes up (about 8am), and then just pray that he would take a nap around 1-2pm until 4pm. Needless to say...I am exhausted and cannot wait for this internship to be OVER! Well, even though I am not sleeping much I truly know I am being blessed with energy, and patience! Also, I know that the Lord is blessing us with JOB OFFERS! I can't believe it! It is very exciting and very surreal. We have been waiting for this for 3 years and now it is here! So Dave started applying for jobs (even though he won't take his licensing test until April/May and won't graduate until May 6th), but we knew it was kind of a long shot to assume he would get a lot of feedback prior to April...boy we were wrong! So long story short, he has had two job interviews and three job offers. Yes, he has had job offers without interviews! Crazy! So we are seriously looking into two of the jobs. One is a home health/outpatient agency in St. George, and the other one is in Orem with a company Dave is very familiar with (he worked for them last summer for his internship and loved it) Anyway, at the end of March we are going down to Orem to check the place out and see what they are going to offer us, and then the first of April we are headed to St. George to do the same with the other company. We are so excited and a little nervous, but we cannot wait to no longer be "college students"! I hopefully we'll be able to stop working for a few months until I can find a job that I could work maybe part time or PRN (as needed). Anyway, so I WILL blog about this next month or so and keep more updated.
Well, that is about it! I have missed a lot of details but...I guess that is what happens when I blog every 6 months! :)
I do just want to say how grateful I am for my family. Dave and Josh are my world and love them so much! I know that when we move it will be hard to say goodbye to my family, and our wonderful ward family, but I look forward to this new adventure in our lives! Wish us luck! :)

Happy birthday Joshua! And LOTS, LOTS more!

Josh checking out his Cars underwear. Not too sure about these gifts! :)

Josh got a new Lightening Mcqueen! He was pretty excited!

Josh really thrilled with his new underwears...Not really!

Josh opening up his present tonight! Had a lot of fun...even though we are all sick!

Here is Josh at the Discovery Gateway. He sure loved those pipes! We were there a long time!

I took Josh to the Discovery Gateway last week for his birthday. He had lots of fun, and he really loved the water area, but he kept asking where the trains were...the boy is totally obsessed! Also, I think he was getting confused because at the Treehouse in Ogden, you walk in and the first thing you see there are tons of trains. Anyway, he had fun at the Gateway!

Trying out the new underwear...this did not go over well! Truly, this is going to be a very big trial for me! Josh is VERY stubborn, and well I am stubborn, so wish us luck! (Notice Josh screaming because he wanted "underwears off mom!") This will be a long road!

This is Josh's idea of sitting on his potty...LONG ROAD of potty training ahead.

Like I said, Josh is obsessed with trains, tracks and anything to do with that stuff. He made a long line of cards and then rolled his trains over his "make-shift" train track! He is creative! :)

Joshua posing with some of his new toys that he got for Christmas. His BIG new blue train(that was the one thing that he literally begged for!) Also, he got his pillow pet! He loves that thing!
We went and saw the lights prior to Christmas. Josh was so darn funny. He wanted to go into the temple. He would go up to the door and try and open it and look at Dave and I and would say "it's locked mom, I want to go into the temple". We tried to explain that he couldn't go into the temple, but one day he'll be able to. He then looked at us with a puzzled face and say "oh, ok mom, I go someday." What a cutie!

Josh would NOT look at the camera! Oh well! We had a good time at Temple Square!

Josh and I hanging out one day, soon after Christmas.

The traditional Christmas morning picture with Grandpa. That was my dad's gift to himself! The boys look thrilled don't they! :) Josh actually is quite obcessed with "popies (sp?) snowmobile". That is until my dad turned that machine on...Josh did not like that loud machine! :)
Christmas was great! I worked for about 1/2 a shift Christmas eve so on Christmas eve-eve, we did our Fisher Christmas Eve dinner. It was really fun to be with family. Then obviously Christmas eve I got home around 9pm and literally didn't sleep at all. I was so stinkin' excited for Christmas morning. I woke up at about 7am, and woke Dave and Josh up. This was truly so fun with Josh. He was so overwhelmed with the amount of gifts he got this year. I didn't take tons of pictures because I video taped it, but it is so funny to watch. I am pretty sure Josh would have been content with just the stuff in his stocking presents. But after a while he got into it and just got more and more excited with all of the gifts...well, he could have cared less about the new clothes! :) Anyway, Dave and I went pretty low key for one another. We bought Dave a new suit back in November, so that was his Christmas present. He got me lots of stuff, new clothes, lots of new movies, and a big new blanket (which was my favorite!). Anyway, it was a great holiday.
