For Josephs b-day my Mom gave him a gift card to target. After 1&1/2 hours of walking around looking at toys, books, and games the only thing he bought was Sponge Bob fruit snacks. Which he and Emma ate all of on the way home. So a couple days later I took him back and the first thing he got really excited about was Cars underwear. Yes, My 3 year old bought his own underwear (Do you think he is ready to be potty trained?) He also bought a chair and some bugs. It was so cute, he was not spoiled at all. As we were walking to check out he said, "George movie" I showed him the movie and the chair and told him he had to pick one. He grabbed the movie from my hand and put it back. With the new underwear we started to potty train and I have decided that you should never potty train until a child is ready. We have had few accidents and he runs to the bathroom himself. It has been so wonderful.
Other cute things about Joseph. When we were in the car the other day the sun was getting in his eyes. He said, "Shinning, please stop." He is a very polite little boy.
Joshua is kneeling on everything now. He pulls to standing but usually falls if we are not their to catch him. When he was crawling around the house he found a pen, and before I got it away from him he did this on his face. The kids said it looks like a mustache.
Last week he discovered the Kitty. He was intrigued with her. Now I just have to watch that he doesn't eat her food.
We had a family birthday party at our house yesterday and I realized how much I enjoy having get together at our house. I guess I am a little controlling because I loved that I could do everything my way. Ryan and I gave our "Speeches" I did really prepare anything I just shared what I had learned the past week about the blessings of keeping a journal. I had been looking over my old journals that morning and I was so glad that I had written some of those very special memories. Ones that I had totally forgotten. One entry I wrote about a drive my dad and I took up to Utah and about this wonderful conversation we had. I had forgotten about it and had I not written it down I would have lost it forever. Then I also talked about my mom and how much I look up to her and her positive attitude towards her children and how I always felt her love for me. I think this was especially sweet for me right now simply because they are leaving on their mission next month and I am so grateful for their example to us. I will miss them but I know this is 100% the best place they could be tight now.

You've got a beautiful family. I found you because I was trying to register the name "MomOfMany" for my wife, when I found that it had already been taken. My name is Ron, and my wife's name is Janese. We life in Santa Barbara, and I'm currently going to school full time at Brooks Institute of Photography. My wife, of course, is full time mother to our two precious little daughters.
I had to see who it was that snaked the name from me. I see, however, that you've had the name much longer than I, so I suppose I can't argue that I share no entitlement in it. It appears as though you want a larger family, is that correct? We are so excited to have a large family as well.
We are just launching a new baby related site, and I think you might enjoy it. The site is www.babyquestions101.com. It's still relatively "young", so there's still not a ton of action. However, we would LOVE it if you would stop over, sign up, and say hello. Have a great week!
