HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH

So for josh's birthday I made him a cheese cake..... so there is a story behind the decoration of the cake. About 3years ago I wrecked my car into a pole... yes a pole!well I still get teased about it to this day, so the other day josh went to pick up a pizza for us... he thinks he's a speed racer and was going around the round about mach 10 I'm sure, and they had the road blocked off where he wanted to go and a car was looking like it was about to pull out in front of him, so not really having an option, he slammed on the brakes and turned the wheel and hit a cone along with the curb. There was a black piece from the bottom of the cone that got stuck up under his tire so he had to jack his car up and get it out...... well now I have somthing to tease him about! So for his birthday cake he got a little reminder of that day.

here is our cute little boy in 3D. On the left he is showing us how tired he is, on the right it looks like he is praying for us all to quit shaking him and let him sleep.

o
On the right he has both hands up, and left he has a grumpy smashed face look, letting us know he already has attitude!

Here he is showing off his muscles.......

He's just like his dad!!! LOL

LOOKING BACK

Here we are, our first trip to california together. we went with the family down there to go to the price is right before Bob Barker left. it was a long but very fun trip!! This is josh and I at hunington beach, it was soo beautiful!
When we got back a few days later,[ on valentines day] Josh proposed!!! what an exciting day! This was the start of many adventures in life for us being together. I had decorated his room for valentines day, and he had bought a ring for me. we were both excited to have each other see what we had done and gotten, that when josh called and told me he had just gotten off of work, I told him good that before we went to dinner he should go home and shower first, but he was insisting that he wait and we could just hurry and go to dinner. well he won the debate, and came to my house...... Then i found out why he had to just hurry and come get me, it was a great day!!
We starter preparing for the wedding and taking our engagement pictures, and we sent out our announcements.
This was one of the best days! Josh and I were married!! we had so many friends and family there which made the day special also. We couldnt have picked anyone better for us!! We were definatley ment to be!!
WOW !!! this is us at the caymen islands. We went snorkeling at this stop on our cruise. We decided when we got married that instead of going on a big trip for our honey moon we would save up and go on a cruise for our one year anniversary. So thats what we did. we went to jamaica, caymen islands, and cozumel mexico. It was a good trip and break for josh since he had been extremely busy with school.
I thought it would be fun to show the things that got me and josh to the point we are at in our lives now. We are now expecting a handsome little boy! Life goes so fast and I think its important to remember all the good and blessings life brings us. Things get busy and crazy for us all, and now that we are about to start a family, I've had many thoughts go through my head. One thought is I want to enjoy every minute of every day so that I dont look back and say the famous words "I wish". I've always known the importance of family, but it hits you even stronger when you're about to have kids yourself. Im glad Josh and I both have good parents who taught us well, so that we can take what we've learned and apply it in our family we are starting.
