Joshy meets Mr. Yuck 1-09

Joshy's hospital bracelet, a baggy full of Plendil and my mom's pill box.

The baggy has the pill parts in it that he spit out. I am very thankful that Plendil has such a bitter taste. Otherwise, we may have lost our little Joshua

Joshua got into my mom's pills while visiting at her house. Luckily, he only put one pill in his mouth and then spit it out. We called poison control and they told us to take him to the AF hospital. The pill he put in his mouth was called Plendil and it is a strong blood pressure medicine that is quite fatal at even a half a pill to a person his size. We found almost 3/4 of the pill and took it with us. We were only in the emergency room for less than an hour. He was fine. In fact, he had quite a good time pushing the doctor's chair all over the room and eating a red lolly pop. My mom and I were panicked the whole ride to the hospital. I gave the posision control guy the wrong telephone number for my mom's house. My voice was shaking and I couldn't think straight. I am so happy it all turned out so well, but it sure was a scare. We love our little Joshy and we are so happy he is healthy and happy.

Justin's Basketball Game 1-09

This is the warm up before the game. Look at that release, one handed just like the coach showed him. He makes the shot! Go Justin!
Justin has gotten so much better at basketball. Last year at the beginning of the season he was unable to dribble or make baskets. Now, he does both very well. Wow, what a difference a year makes.
He is so into basketball this year. He watches the ball closely and steals it every chance he gets. Playing football got him over the fear of hurting someone. However, I don't know that that's a good thing, but it sure makes him a better player.
He shoots and scores for his team. Even when Justin is on the side line, he is watching the game intently and rooting for his team. Last night we had one of his teammates and friends over for dinner before practice. It was crazy to hear them banter back and forth about their team and of course the upcoming super bowl. Justin can hardly wait. He is rooting for the Arizona.

Christmas Morning 12-25-08

Justin got a skate board, pads and a helmet and Ryan got a scooter, pads and a helmet.

Santa brought the boys guns. Oh, silly Santa.
I put these in the wrong order. This is the boys coming out on Christmas morning getting the first look at what Santa brought. I know the pictures are dark. Jeff is going to lighten them up for me, but I was tired of waiting and I know many of you are waiting for baby pictures. So, Christmas is done so I can go on to the baby pictures now.

Christmas Eve 12-24-08

We have a family tradition of opening up new pajamas on Christmas Eve. The boys look forward to getting new jammies every year.
My darling little boys all dressed for bed.
Another tradition is for the boys to get a new game on Christmas Eve. This year they got Cranium Family Edition. They loved it and Jeff and I and my parents enjoyed playing it with them.

Joshua thought it was a chair and loved sitting on it. Poor guy got put to bed before we played the game.

Candy House 12-24-08

The boys had a great time making a gingerbread house or "candy house" as Ryan would say on Christmas Eve day. I was so glad to be home from the hospital to spend Christmas with my family. We weren't sure I would make it home for the holidays. I am so glad I stuck it out and waited until the 26th to go have our baby.

A visit with Santa 12-08

Can you tell what Joshua thought of Santa? The lady in the picture is my good friend Crystal from my Ward. She was trying to calm Joshua down to get a cute picture. However, it didn't work. He wanted away from the strange man in the red suit. Justin and Ryan enjoyed their time with Santa. Maybe next year Joshy!

Deck the Halls 11-08

Joshua loved decorating the Christmas tree. However, he loved undecorating it even better. A few days after decorating it there were no ornaments on the bottom 2 feet of the tree.Ryan was so into decorating this year. He was singing Christmas songs and having a great time.
I can't believe how much this picture reminds me of Justin at this age.
Justin loved to put the ornaments on the tree especially when he was on the ladder. I can't tell you how many times Jeff or I removed Joshua from the ladder. I was so glad when Jeff took it back to the garage.
This is my very favorite picture of the day.

I am glad to be back to blogging finally. I have to go back and do in chronologically because I am crazy like that. Jeff blogged about the baby and it's a good thing because left up to me everyone would still think I was pregnant. I refuse to blog out of over - I know I'm crazy. The baby pictures are coming soon.
