Today in History....

On this day 3 years ago Ben and I were so blessed to have a healthy, happy, handsome little boy join our family. It's been such a wonderful three years and Joseph has blessed our lives in more ways then we can described. He is such a joy in our home, and a great companion for mama to play with during the day. I love you Pumpkin Nose.

Joseph's 3rd Birthday Cake. I was sad this year that I didn't make it, but he loved it just the same.

Joseph patiently waiting for everyone so he could open his presents.

Look at all my presents. He was so funny they all had to be on the floor and when he opened them every piece of paper had to be off.

Look it's Lightning McQueen AWESOME!!

Let's Race Daddy!

Thank you to all our wonderful friends and family who called and sent gifts. Joseph loved talking to you all on the phone and I think he also enjoyed the presents a little bit. :) We love you all so very much, thanking for making this a wonderful day for Joseph.

What an Experience

Ben and I spent the weekend in Utah and one night for fun we went to the O.C. Tanner festival of music at the new conference center. It was a wonderful evening that only got better when President Monson showed up. I couldn't believe I was actually in the same room as the prophet, it was such a feeling of pure joy. It was good to be reminded of the fact that even though President Monson is the head of the church on this earth, he is also still just a regular person like us. I love this church and our prophet so very much. It was an evening that I will cherish forever.

Cheyenne Mtn.

It's HOT let's go for a swim. These 2 cubs couldn't get enough of the water.
Where's my lunch???
Can we feed him mama? Yes we can. It was so much feeding the giraffe's and they have long, long, long tongues.
Joseph feeding him. This is for you Aunt Heidi, wish you could have been there with us.
All Aboard!!!
Joseph loved the Giraffe's as long as they didn't try to kiss him.
Good Morning Mr. Giraffe
Joseph and I petting a baby Wallaby. It was the softest thing I think I have ever felt.
Who let Shere Khan lose???
Don't let the bear get me Mama!
A couple of weeks ago we took Joseph to the Colorado Springs zoo and we all had a blast. Their Giraffe exhibit was amazing, it had 18 giraffe's and you could look them right in the eye. The lion exhibit they walk right over your head, it's cool. Joseph's favorite part was the giraffe's, he did not want to stop feeding them crackers. I think he made a friend for a life with all the crackers we gave that one.
