... and we're back!

Michael's 6 month pictures! I couldn't find the bear, but they turned out so cute!




Bathtime!




Josh's Thai food

Josh offering Michael his Thai food.

Josh decided this was his sheath of choice for a sword letter opener I got him last year.

Michael and Daddy Sunday morning
Just another day rocking Michael to sleep... notice how he doesn't really fit in the glider anymore...
This is supposed to say 2010. A new tradition we started two years ago. :)


We are SOOO excited for 2010!!
Michael with a couple of his cousins, Vinny and Sofie.
Hello! My computer died and we were sick and we were on vacation and we were living life, etc, etc, so I just haven't been able to post or just haven't felt like it, but here are some quick pics of what we've been up to. I have a bunch more from more of Christmas break and more family, but they are on Josh's computer so I will have to post those later.

Thrifting and Halloween

I didn't know that Thrifting was a verb until we moved to Boise, and rightly so, because I have never, ever seen so many thrift stores in my life! And, I have never been to such great ones, either. It is magical. :) My favorite is Idaho Youth Ranch. And I don't just go to the regular thrift store, I go to the Idaho Youth Ranch OUTLET!! (thanks to my thrifting buddy Eileen for telling me about it) Yes, they have an outlet of a thrift store. I know the point of going to a thrift store is to buy things for cheap but make people think you spent a lot of money on them, but I must be lame and share some of my prices in this post, cause they are so cool!

I got this little Baby Einstein playgym for $3.00. Michael loves it.

Halloween!

Here is Michael's Halloween costume! ($2.00)
Here are ours! Yes, we are Wesley and Buttercup from The Princess Bride. (My dress, which you can't see very well, and is very pretty-- 50 cents!) For Josh's costume he is wearing a black robot suit backwards and inside out. We realized that he has worn clothes backwards and inside out for every Halloween we have had together because our costumes are always put together out of the stuff we can find in the house! I promised him that next year he can wear something comfortable for Halloween. :)
Michael eating Dad's arm. He eats EVERYTHING these days.
Josh's hand looks so huge next to Michael
This is Michael's other Halloween costume that his grandma gave him, he didn't fit it this year, but we tried it on for fun. :)

P.S. Remember how my digital camera could only get fixed for $130? Well I forgot to mention that I fixed it by myself!!! We determined that we would buy a new one before we would fix it, so seeing as how it wasn't worth anything to me, I took it apart myself and banged some things around. I was sure I was breaking it and when I gave up and tried to get the case back together, I accidentally hit the power button and it worked! It took me an hour, but it was an hour well spent. I prayed really hard that my camera would somehow start working again, and this was an answer to prayers!

Random, Bathtime, Football, and Orange Chicken

Josh took this picture on purpose while we both weren't looking...? Where did I get this character?My little angel after his bath

My little angel during his bath.

My little quarterback watching football with Dad. We do this every Saturday cause Josh says "Oh by the way, there are some GOOD games on this Saturday, so we need to reserve time for them." I'm just glad I have learned to enjoy football. :)

I can just see the years of Saturdays ahead with Michael and Josh watching football together. Here we go.

Mmmmm... Josh's orange chicken. Josh makes great chinese food. After putting in all the work, though, we determined that Panda is faster and tastes almost as good. Almost.

Can you believe the personality in this little face? He is getting so big! I love my little Michael. Sigh.

Here's Michael being cute
Josh and I went to our home teacher's house to paint pumpkins--they are Andy and Jen.


And Michael being cute again...

Lil bit o' fun

Guitar Heroine! (me, of course) We hung out with Josh's PA friends and their families. I was pretty good at Guitar Hero for my first time playing. Josh thinks he's so good, but really I'm right up there with him. Our PA friends are: Austin, Sydnee, Augie and Jentry.


Michael and my foot!

Super Saturday! We did some sewing projects for Super Saturday and it was a ball. Here are some of my friends--Eileen, Carrie (who probably had her baby on Thursday) and Sister Walker.
