More Cute Footage of our Chase

Seriously Cute Boys!

Joshua had some friends come over and ask if he could play for the first time!

Haircuts!!!

Before (you can't tell from this picture but he had a SERIOUS comb-over)

After

Chase had his first haircut the other night and he looks like a different kid! I had noticed that underneath the last bit of his shiny black hair, was light blonde hair- and had wondered if his brown hair would grow back in- Nope don't think so! Maybe one of our kids will look like Mike! So far they seem to be favoring my side of the gene pool! I'm so grateful for Mike and his barber skills- he saves us so much money and does a great job!

Halloween Fun!

Each Monday night we have Family Night and this week we decided to bring in some Halloween Spirit! We started off the night by allowing Joshua to help "make" some pumpkin cookies for the neighbors, we then sang some songs and put together a cute plastic pumpkin that Grandma Briggs sent. Joshua was so much fun! He even took cookies next door to our neighbors all by himself. We decided to have him take some to the neighbors on the other side of us as well, however, he dropped the cookies before he made it to the door. Oh well, those neighbors are the ones who have woken us up with music and laughter at all hours of the night. I don't feel too bad that they didn't get cookies:P

More "Joshua-Isms"

I have been terrible as a mother at writing the cute things down that Joshua has said. I am quick to call my mom and tell her- but then I forget to record them- so here are some of the latest, and not so latest things Joshua has done or said that have made us giggle:

A few months before Chase was born, Joshua was flipping through the TV channels and somehow stopped on a Rowdy Hawaiian Church Sermon. Anytime the preacher mentioned Jesus Christ Joshua yelled, "Amen! Amen!"

I came down for church a few weeks ago in my dress and as soon as Joshua saw me he said: "Nice Momma!" (We always tell him he looks nice on Sundays!)

One morning we were out of milk and I told Joshua that it was all gone and we were going to have to go to the store to get more, he ran in the direction of the closet to get his shoes and yelled, "Let's Go" (Mind you it was 7 AM!)

Another morning, Joshua walked up to the fridge and said, "HMMMMM, juice or milk?"

Joshua is very good at calling out any kind of nakedness now- for himself and us. So we have to be extra modest around here now!

I told Joshua we needed to go to the store to which he replied, "Store, More Pop!" (Smart little stinker remembered he had eaten the last bag of popcorn last night- so we added popcorn to the list!)

A few days ago, Joshua had a little girlfriend over to play. I followed after them as they ran up to his bedroom and when I got there, he slammed the door in my face and said, "Bye Momma!". (Hmmm isn't he a little young for this to be starting!)

That's all I can think of right now- but I will try and be better at recording these so that we have record of them in the years to come!

Apple Pie...Barnum Style!

Tonight for dinner I made a yummy quiche with bacon, spinach, and mushrooms in it. I wasn't sure how Josh would react to what was being served, but when we put it on the table he exclaimed, "Apple Pie!" We didn't correct him! He proceeded to eat bites of spinach and mushrooms throughout the rest of dinner and we even heard a "yum" or two. We will have to have Apple Pie for dinner more often!

Too Cute!
