A lil bit of this and A lil bit of that.......

Well I haven't posted any updates lately ..just pictures... so I thought I'd blog a lil bit .... starting with the 4th of july... we went to our good friends the Tillett's house for some swimming and a barbecue we had thee best tri-tip....then as the sun went down we went over to some neighbor's of theirs for a spectacular fireworks show it was fun as well as emotional with the music and slide show they had going as they did fireworks... at one point is got kinda out of hand when a remote control car carrying fireworks lost control and headed our way... it was quite scary....all in all we had a great 4th and Josiah loved it he wasn't scared of the fireworks one bit... Also last week Josiah had his 8 month check-up he is 28 lbs. and 30 in. long he is in the 97%.. so we have a pretty big boy on our hands which isn't any different then our other kids...Speaking of our other kids they are coming home on Wednesday..we are so excited.. they have been gone for about 1 month and I miss them like crazy.. but they have been having a good time in Utah.. Kala got to perform at the stadium of fire, and they went to Lagoon,museums, and did some school shopping, but it is time for them to come home ..... Well it has been over 100 degrees here in Bakersfield.. and we are all trying to stay cool...here are some updated pictures of Josiah... we are always having fun with him...




Josiah is always getting into something... he was obsessed with this door stopper till he broke it!! Bad boy...LOL

Try'n to stay cool in the Bakersfield heat...Josiah's help'n Daddy water the lawn

Ohhhhh! I don't have a diaper on =)

Don't worry Dad I got it.......

Since Josiah is crawling around everywhere, Tyler decided to make him a playpen so he couldn't escape....as you can see he loved it..... for a lil while anyway.... LOL

A day at Water world!!

These are so more pictures from our trip to San Francisco when we went to water world....

Who outsmarted who???

So Josiah has started crawling all over this week, and has been following me where ever I go... well the one place I don't want him following me to is the kitchen... so I tried to out smart him and put a barrier on the pathway in between the 2 couches that leads to the kithen... well this little monkey figured out real quick how to get thru the barrier...... so I guess my lil 8 month old out smarted me..... LOL....

Another short funny story..... so Josiah gets a lot of attention in public people love his chubbiness .. so last night Tyler decided to go to the store with josiah and I for once... so we are at foodmaxx and all the workers are coming up to him and squeezing his legs and basically goo-gaga-ing over him ... Tyler is just sitting there like wow.... so we finally get away from everyone and get out of the store and Tyler looks at Josiah and says with a smile on his face " you make me sick"...LOL...Ty was a tad bit jealous over his baby brother ..it was cute....

8 months old today.......

Where has time gone..... my lil man is 8 months old already.... it seems like yesterday that he came into this world.... well he has been trying to crawl ..although he doesn't have the get up on his knees and crawl type of thing going on.. he is getting the concept of gett'n to where he wants to go by scooting/hopping... I posted a video down below.... He has also been trying to pull up on things to stand... so he is moving along quite well... I'm not sure how much he weighs i'm thinking about 26-28 lbs... his appt is next week so I will post then... he has started eating alot more and not just baby food.. he loves crackers and has been eating them pretty good... He is such a lil cheezer... if he gets any attention at all he smiles by scrunching his nose and kinda laughing through his nose and will keep looking at you to get your attention... we have been taking him swimming alot .. and he just loves the pool ..as soon as he sees the pool he starts to get all excited... we have noticed that he has a little temper and will squeeze his fist and make a growling sound if he wants something..I've noticed lately he is been acting a lil out of character I'm not sure if it is because he misses his brother and sister who are in utah for a month, or if he's teething,or its the new haircut or maybe he is just growing up and changing.. but I first noticed it in church this past Sunday.. he was such a handful.. by the end of the 3 hours I was worn out...LOL.. at home he just has been a lil monkey lately he is so used to the kids fighting over him, holding him and playing with him know that it is just ty,dad and I ..I'm thinking he is a lil under stimulated..lol we will see how is goes......well recently he got a new lil car (thanks Amy) and he just loves it to pieces... his daddy takes him around the block and he just looks around thinking he is just a big boy.... we have discovered that he loves nature... he loves looking at trees and touching grass and looking for the birds... anyways here is a few pictures of him at 8 months old......

It's Just hair........

Josiah got his first hair cut today..... My husband and I have been going back and forth about cutting it for the past week.. and I was totally against it.. until yesterday when somebody said he had a girl hair do... so I finally agreed to it... and of course my idea and my husband's idea of a hair cut is totally different.... so I didn't know he was going bald till I saw all his hair on the bathroom counter..... I was sad at first but thought to myself "its just hair"... and it will grow back.. so anyways here are some pictures to capture the moment.... as you can tell by the smile on Josiah's face he doesn't care or he just doesn't have a clue....LOL.....

Our weekend in San Francisco.......

This past weekend we went to San Fran.... we had a alot of fun family time... we got there Thursday and went swimming all day.... It was Josiah's first time in the pool and at first he didn't really like it.... but after awhile he was splashing around..... then on Friday we went swimming some more.... and then went to the fathers day dance at my in-laws ward.... they are always having family dances and we love going.... my husband and I danced the night away... and the kids just ran around.... it was lots of fun.... On Saturday we woke up and went to water world its a big water park.... the kids went with daddy and went on all the rides.. while Kam's sisters,Josiah and I just went in the lazy river, the wave pool and kiddie pool.... until Josiah decided to take a 3 hr nap.... so I decided to lay out and get some color.... after Kam went on the rides it was my turn I went on 3 rides with the kids..... I think as I get older.. I get more fearful.... because i was just a little scared... but I did it and I had a blast.... On Sunday we went to church and then went back to the house for some good ol' tongan food.... then it was time to pack up and head back to Bakersfield.... we had such a great time with our family..... Thanks Ofa and Dea for a great weekend......
