Lots of pitcures

Joseph is going to turn 3 years old in a month and a half. This last month he has grown a lot.
He is on the verge of talking, he is copying everything we say and it is great to know we are so close to having him communicating with out a whine or a cry.
He also started using the potty this month. Though is only for #1 and not during the night. But it is real fun watch him grow up.
Joseph is also learning important things like good things come in small packages and the usefulness of carry on luggage.
































He is learning music and how to make faces

Water Balloon launchers Kelley brought for us, Shoot about 300 feet and have been a lot of fun.




















































You can see the angle the kids are looking at, how high and farther the water balloon flew.






























Just after Jake catches one in the lap (center child wet shirt) another flies over Mica's head (the green blur above the girl on the left)















Sam jumped out of the way on this one blue blur in the middle.
















Looking from the other side of the field.






I have been wanting to do this for a long time.
It is a little hard to see still, can you see it?
