Today was a gorgeous day!
We spent the evening outside playing in the backyard.
It makes us really excited for summer.

We began our swimming lessons this evening. Josh swam with her tonight, and I watched from the sidelines. She did a great job, but had a little problem listening to the teacher (this could be fun). I also got scolded because pictures aren't allowed. It is a good thing I got a few before I had to put my camera away. Tuesdays and Thursdays the next six weeks will be a blast!

Kate as you all know is a climber and a dare devil. She seems to not have a fear in her body. She loves to climb up on her chair to ding the wind-chimes on the back porch, turn the lights on and off, reach her balloon, and the list goes on. We caught her in the act on Sunday night reaching for her balloon.

Today we headed to Indianola to watch Josh's little sister, Shelby, play at AAU state volleyball. I was completely impressed with the talent of their team from the last time I saw them play two years ago. They are an amazing group of young 8th grade ladies who will go far in life. It was so much fun to watch them win game after game. We are really proud of the 2nd place victory!
Way to go Shelby!
We are SO proud of you!

I was able to pick Kate up today from daycare which I missed doing while I was gone for the last few days. Josh had informed me that Kate has been crabby and pulling on her ear a lot the past few days. I decided to bring her into urgent care to make sure everything was okay. It turns out that she does have an infection on her scalp (which I always thought was cradle cap) and an ear infection. So, we had to head over the pharmacy to pick up some medicine. Kate decided while we waited for her medicine to just sit down and read the paper!

Kate likes to play with stuff. Kate always has to see what is in your hands or in the bag and play with it herself. The camera is not an exception to this rule of hers. So when daddy was holding the camera to take the picture of the day, Kate wanted to hold the camera and see the pictures. I decided to turned the LCD around for her to see herself in the screen. Then she proceeded to take a pretty nice self portrait. What do you think?

I'm going to get some major husband of the year points for posting a blog post without being forced to do so by Evalie. Evalie is at her sister's house right now helping out after Kristin's procedure. She has been gone since 6:00 yesterday and will return sometime tomorrow night. When Ev goes away, Kate and Daddy get to play. We eat Yum & Yums (M&M's), pizza for dinner, drink juice after 8:00 at night, you know, all kinds of crazy things. But our favorite thing in the whole world to do is play outside, I think if it wasn't March, we might even camp outside so we don't have to come into the house. Kate loves running around with Shiner, driving her car, riding on both of her bikes, riding in the wagon, racing daddy down the driveway, climbing the retaining wall between our house and the neighbors, and pretty much anything else you can do outside. That being said, it is raining today and our plans changed. I don't think that Kate liked the idea of staying inside tonight.
Thank God it's supposed to be close to 70 degrees next week.

Because of You.
Joshua says....
Today is my beautiful wife's 30th birthday. I wanted to take some time and let her know exactly how much I love her. She is the most amazing person I have ever met. She is the strongest, kindest, hardest working peron I know. She is always there for anyone, especially me, to talk to about anything that I need to talk about. She has given me the greatest gift in the world, the reason for this blog, Kate. She is my inspiration and I strive each day to be more like her; hard working, dedicated, friendly, loving, kind, inspired, always remembering, and beautiful. She is grounded in what she beleives in and it inspires me every day to watch her morals reflected in what she does. The truth is, I can never do justice to how important she is to me, or how thankful I am to have her in my life. I just wanted to take a feable shot at letting everyone else know, and her know, that I am truely blessed to have her in my life. Because of you, I am the man I am today.
Happy Birthday Evalie, I love you.
Here's to 30 more, and then 30 more after that.
Love Joshua

Today is the famous two picture day -
Josh joked that this should be the picture of the day....
Did you know that I hate doing laundry?
Did you know that I hate putting my clothes away?
Did you know that I rarely do it?
Did you know that my husband wanted proof that I can put my clothes away, so he took a picture of me?
Did you also know that my husband and daughter are two peas in a pod?

Every night after either Josh or I read Kate her bedtime stories, she calls for the other parent from her room to come help her turn off the light. I do believe it all started after my surgery when I couldn't lift her to turn it off. Kate and I would yell/call, "Daddy, come turn the light off." We have begun a new routine!

Josh and my sisters decided to throw me a little surprise birthday bash today. I don't have a lot of pictures to show because I was too busy socializing. But, here are the two pictures Josh took of me walking into the big surprise. It was such a lovely evening with my family and closest friends. I'm completely blessed to have such a wonderful family!!
PS - Can someone send me pictures of the night?
