Misc

 Josh is enjoying a fruit Popsicle.  Thank you Pintrest!

 And this was Hudson's outdoor play pin while I watered the garden.  It's apparently also our outdoor toy box.

On The Table

Soaked

 We didn't get an after picture, but trust me, we were all soaked!

 Josh didn't like getting that wet.  But we were done and went to the car and within a few minutes of heading that way, he was out!

Fire-Breathing Fun

Chillin'

Giddy Up!

More Rides!

 Above.. the Tea Cups.  I didn't enjoy those, that's for sure!

  And here, (sorry for the blurriness) is the Underground.  Or as Josh called it, the "Underware Train"

He didn't enjoy that one very much!  Joe was right, he got scared.  At least they succeeded in scaring someone!

Fire Engine!

 And this was Josh's second favorite ride. 

 SO Cute!

Beep Beep!

 Cynthia and I joined Josh on the "Big" Rigs.

 This was by far Josh's favorite ride!

 

Bump!

 Josh enjoyed the bumper cars...for a little while.

 About halfway through he got a little tired of the constant jerking and wanted out.

Failure?

As a mom, it's easy to compare and compete in child rearing and homemaking.  But I'm the first to admit that despite all these happy pictures, I am in constant need of God's grace, mercy, and forgiveness.  Whether lack of patience with my kids or a a build up of dirt in the bathroom, it's all there.  And my husband can testify to this, although, bless his heart, he would never say anything to you about it.

While I'm not proud of my faults, I'm proud of God's grace and mercy towards me.  He is constantly patient with me when I'm not patient with them. So if you're not perfect like me, Praise the Lord for his forgiveness and mercy. And pray to the Lord for constant growth to be more like HIM, not the mom next door!

 He's getting so big!

Hair Stylin'

 Josh just loved the hair straightener and hair dryer that his friend Addy had.

He couldn't help but try them out.  Lets just hope this ends here...

Too Cute

All Wore Out

 Mmm, that's a good stick!

 This is what happens when you forget to bring toys for your little ones. 

 After a long picnic, Hudson was all wore out, but still hangin' on. 

 

Area Pastors Picnic

 Josh is getting good about drop kicking a ball.  He can kick it high and far!

 And sometimes, he just misses.  

 But for a 2 year old, I'd say he's pretty good!

 This is what I have to look forward to my boys doing some day.  

Climbing (or in this case riding) trees.
