We've had LOTS going on the last couple wks....to highlight a couple of the bigger "happenings" I'll start with Jay and I's unforgettable 6 yr anniversary on Saturday! Jay had gone to get Josiah up from his nap so we could take him to our friends house for the evening, I had just put on my dress and was finishing curling my hair when Jay came around the corner with Josiah in a towel and announced "I don't think we can go tonight." He had walked into Josiah's room to get him and he was standing in his crib screaming and covered head to toe in puke (we still don't know how it got on his head, in hair, and eyes?!) He had come down with an untimely and aweful I might add 24 hr stomach bug! So our fun anniversary date we had planned was replaced by taking care of a vomiting child, debating on going to the ER cause it was so bad there for a while, and squeezing in bites of Pei Wei take out (that somehow lost its appeal under the circumstances) and watching a Direct TV Cinema movie called Everybody's Fine (which actually was a really good movie just not very date night-ish). Then Monday night Jay and I both came down with the dreaded bug and Josiah seemed to have a relapse of it on Tuesday...it was a rough start to the week but we were all better by Wednesday, praise the Lord!
Now...onto more happy "happenings"...last week Lindsey and Ava came for a visit and we had SO much fun being together with our kiddos! It was crazy busy with the two of them and their different schedules, but we got to enjoy some good sister time at night once the babes were asleep!
I am slightly obsessed with this baby girl! 
The "fousins!"

The "fousins!" Josiah was so good with her!
I love his little hand wrapped around her in this pic and the way he is looking at her with such intrigue!
He LOVED playing in her gym with her! Once when she'd had enough, Lindsey picked her up and took her back to their room to put her down. Josiah heard her crying and grabbed the activity gym by the top and dragged it all the way to her room...he also would take the burp cloth to her anytime she cried, I think he thought it was her lovey!
My sweet niece!
I forgot to rotate this one, but I love her little flirty face here!
Ya Ya came out one of the afternoons to hang out and steal Linds and Ava back...Josiah was so happy to see her!
Ya Ya and her grandbabies!
Um....are there words for such preciousness?! I just want to eat her up!
We went to my cousin Shelley's house for a playdate with all the cousins with kiddos and my aunts! This is Benjamin (Bret and Jen's oldest) and Kate (Tim and Shelley's youngest) lovin' on miss Ava!
Everyone... except Jen and Mia (Jen left to go get her when we took this). This was the day before Josiah got the bug (you can tell from the pics he wasn't himself this day either...poor baby!)
Aunt Vicki stealing cuddles from Josiah!
The kiddos eating lunch together!
Just a random pic of my handsome boy!
Wednesday morning we played outside for a long time while Daddy did yard work. Josiah was so happy to get out of the house since he'd been couped up all day on Tues while we were sick. He's so all boy...it took him about .2 seconds to discover this mud puddle on the side of our neighbors house! He was covered so quickly I decided not to mess with stopping him and to grab the camera instead!
Once he got muddy I guess he decided he should help daddy with the yard...make it look like he worked for that dirt! =)
And after all that work a boy has got to kick back and relax...some cold juice in his sippy and he was a happy little camper! =)
We are LOVING our new camera...can you tell?!
