Swimming, swimming and more swimming!

Dave and Josh playing in the water.
Josh doing what he does best...splashing the water.

My cute boys! Nice rug on that chest! I'm guessing Josh's rug will show up on his chest in a few years! (I hope not!)

Josh sitting in his stroller, anticipating his last swimming lesson! He always gets so excited when he sees that water!

You have got to love summer! I love to swim, in fact it is one of the reasons I love the summer so much! I LOVE the sun and the warmth, and I love being at a pool, lake or somewhere to cool me off! I was thinking that I would just hate it if my son decided that he hated being in a pool, that would be horrible! What else do you do in the summer time?! So I decided to enroll Josh and I in parent and tot swim lessons! They were so much fun and honestly Josh didn't really care what we were learning, he'd rather play in the shallow with his bucket and shovel. Well, it ended up being a lot of fun and now we can go to the pool for pretty cheap! Last tuesday we all got to go(me, Dave and Josh) because Dave finally finished his summer semester! Yeah! Anyway, it was a lot of fun! If anyone wants to go swimming let me know! Josh and I will come! I think I have created another "fish"! Josh loves the pool! Yeah!

A new Office fan! :)

So Dave and I have been watching re-runs of The Office lately. Well everytime the introduction comes onto the television, Josh comes running and begins to dance! It is really funny, well, at least we think so! Josh honestly doesn't pay attention to tv at all, so when he started doing this Dave and I thought it was hilarious! He is so funny! Enjoy the video!

So much to tell!

Josh looking out at all the other kids playing at the family reunion. (At this point, he was SO tired, he had only slept about 25 minutes all day! It was pretty rough...for him and Dave and I.)

Here is Dave and I...and Josh, going out on the 4-wheeler...obviously I wanted to drive!

Dave, Josh and Chris (Dave's brother -in-law) hanging out watching people shoot clay pigeons! Notice Josh and Daves faces...notice similar looks? They MUST be related! :)

Nicole, Dave, Chris and Maile (my mother-in-law) hanging out under the bowry.

I know, it's been forever since I've posted anything! Truly, June is flying by because we have been so busy. Since the last time I posted, Josh has turned 15 months and had his well-baby check up. He is now 31 inches tall (54th percentile), 25 1/2 lbs (65th percentile) and his head is in the 95th percentile! Growing everyday and never stops! The doctor was quite impressed with what Josh is able to do, and isn't concerned about anything with him, which always makes me feel better because I always worry he isn't doing what "he should be doing." Anyway, Josh is growing so fast and is so much fun. He is saying a few words, but he is mostly imitating people around him, and dancing to any kind of music. He always can get Dave and I to laugh throughout the day! We just love him!

Also, last weekend we visited good ol' Ephraim, Utah for the Gray family reunion! I know, EXCITING! You know, I never thought I'd marry someone that I'd have to go to Sanpete County for a family reunion! :) Actually it was a lot of fun. We went up past the Elk Farms and up towards the canyon and hung out at a "park". It was really nice. We got to drive 4-wheelers and shoot clay pigeons, and of course ate a lot of food! You know, I always think of myself as a "city girl" but when I get out there I always love doing stuff like that! I guess I do have a little "country girl" in me!

There is much more to tell but Dave has got to use the computer for his homework! He'll be done with this semester next Thursday! YEAH! Anyway, I promise to post more soon!

So my friend Tatiana just showed me this blog that has the adorable diaper bags for sell. They are SUPER cute and way cheep. Check it out all you mommies and mommies-to-be! Enjoy!

Happy Anniversary!

So Dave and I celebrated our third anniversary yesterday! As Dave says, "3 years of pure bliss!" Well, yes, it has been wonderful! There is nothing more wonderful than being married to your best friend who you love more than anything and helps me more than anyone else in my life! I love being married and couldn't imagine my life anyother way. Dave has blessed me with a wonderful life and I couldn't be more greatful for him and the love that we share! Thanks babe, I love you!

Hello again!

Wow, it has been so long since I've posted anything! Well, that is what happens when you move, you work, and you have to chase a little boy around! :) (The last thing I DON"T mind at all though!) Anyway, I thought I'd let you all in on what we have been up to.

First and foremost we moved...again. Actually, we already LOVE our new apartment. We really like the location and we have enjoyed our new ward. They have really impressed us and we only have gone twice. I guess it doesn't take much to impress us, comparing our old ward to our new one. So here is our little example of our old vs. new ward. DAve and I were a little stressed to move because we hardly had any help. Thanks to my dad he was able to bring his HUGE trailer and truck, and his muscles to help us move. Thanks to my step-mom Diane for watching Josh that Saturday we moved. But other than that, there was me, Dave and my Dad to move all of our stuff. Well, Dave and I both thought we could "hopefully" get our old ward to give us a hand (at least our home teachers:) to move our stuff out, and then we thought we could call our new ward to see if they could help us move into our new place. We made the calls, and we were just praying for help. (All you that we asked for help, THANK YOU for at least trying to come, honestly, we appreciate your willingness!) Anyway, saturday morning comes, and yes, it's just the three of us. About 20 minutes before we were all done (this is after about 1 1/2 hours of work), our old elder's quorum guy shows up and offers to help. It was nice, but honestly, all the hard stuff was done. Well literally as we were closing the trailer (because we were just about done), our "neighbors" came over and asked if they could help, looked over my shoulder and said, "boy, I came at the perfect time!" Yeah lady, everything is done! Anyway, as my dad and husband were driving to the new apartment, I had to go get Josh, because Diane had somewhere to go and so now there was just DAve and my dad, to haul everything up to our apartment! (Yes, we live on the second/top floor.) Well, I guess right as they started moving stuff, 4 guys showed up from our NEW ward to help unload. They got everything unloaded in 45 minutes! Dave and my dad said it was AWESOME! These guys were so willing to help, and then they said, "Boy you guys had this so organized, that was nothing!" (Thanks!:)) Anyway, needless to say we really enjoy the ward not only because of that but, everyone was so friendly and warm at church. I'm really excited to be here! And I KNOW that we were supposed to move for a reason. Anyway, here are some pics of our new place! (Don't mind some clutter...haven't quite gotten to the decorating part!)

Other than moving, I have been working a lot and Dave returned to school for 7 more weeks. I'm so excited for July, because Dave will be home for almost 2 months, oh yeah, and we get to go on a vacation to Cali!

Anyway, here are some random pics of our new place and of Josh being himself!

Josh's new favorite thing!

Not much to say about this, Josh has LOVED going to the park lately, and I am surprised that he can go down the slides all by himself! What talent right?! haha Anyway, it's lots of fun to play with Josh! Here's a little video to show his new favorite thing and showing how he is a "puppy" (When I ask what puppies do, he sticks his tongue out and then tries to pant like a dog, it's pretty funny!
