Joshua's First Pack Meeting

Joshua proudly wearing his new cub scout uniform.

Joshua and all the other new Wolves.

Joshua earned his Bobcat. (If only they all could be that easy!) Dad earned a pin, too, for all of his hard work.

First Day of Third Grade

So not the best photo, but you get the idea. Joshua's first day as a third grader. And he insisted on wearing his school t-shirt.

And it wouldn't be a first day, without new tennis shoes. Probably his favorite part!

Water Skiing at Echo

The water was a bit cold!

And here we go...

The face says it all!

Joshua did awesome! Too bad we didn't have more time at the lake this year!

Joshua's Big Day

Joshua was lucky enough to be baptized while we were at the lake this summer.

The family on the dock.

Greg and Joshua

The font.

After a couple of cold days, the water was freezing.

Uncle Mark played his guitar, The Baptism Song.

One happy little boy! Congratulations, Joshua!

Prom

Madi was so excited to turn 16, just in time for Prom!

The shoes. Flats, of course. She's never worn heels, probably never will.

The "boot n' ear" as we've been calling it.

Her hair. Done all by herself, of course.

Her date, Joseph, checking for blood after she pinned it on him.

Her corsage.

And off they went.... It's a good thing that Dad will be there as a chaperone. And yes, Joseph is tall. 6'2" to be exact.

Madi's New Jacket

Look what arrived just in time for Spring tennis...

And she couldn't be happier!

A Quiet Afternoon

I caught Joshua reading in the playroom this afternoon.

Love this photo!
