Update

I have been SUPER busy planning our vacation...well, my vacation, Steve still has to work. But here is a quick update of everyone.

We went on our first real camping trip in April. We went to Moab and hiked all over Arches National Park. It was a blast! We went with my sister Jenny and her family and the Toone family. We had a wonderful time together and still like each other. So I think it was a sucess. We might even go camping again maybe even with them.

We have worked out most of the details of Germany. We leave June 12th and return September 12th. Luckily we were able to get the same flights as Steve (he has to go through work and we bought ours before he could book his). We found an awesome hotel, after hours of looking. This hotel will let us check out every Friday and check in every Sunday so we can travel every weekend. We are going to go everywhere in Europe that we can! We are within driving distance of Paris, Switzerland, Austria, Berlin, Venice, Rome, and many other places. It is going to be amazing! I will be sure to blog a lot when I am there. If anyone knows of cool places to go, let us know so we can put it on our list.

Josh Update

Josh is getting bigger and cuter by the minute. He is a gigglier. He is always giggling. He laughs when anyone laughs at him. He loves to play and be played with.

Food is also his new obsession. He loves to eat anything and everything. Well, except baby food. He will eat baby food until he sees that we are eating something else. Then he wants what we are eating. We were naughty parents and gave him a chocolate cookie the other day. He really liked it!

He loves to sit up and play with toys. He is beginning to like tummy time and might crawl sometime. I have never seen him roll over, but I have seen evidence of it. I will lay him down on this belly or back. Then I will leave the room to change laundry or something and when I return he has rolled over. He does it in his crib a lot. I try so hard to get him to do it for me, but he won't. I think he likes to tease me.

I swear he says mom. Whenever he needs me, like when Zack is coming too close or he is hungry or just wants me, he looks at me and he says "mmmmoooommmm." It is really cute. I really think it is on purpose, but it could just be babble. Who knows"?

Zack Update:

What can I say about Zack? He is getting smarter by the minute. He says new words and sentences everyday. Some of his favorite phrases are "Nice kick Dude!," "Mommy, roars is going to get you!," "Mommy, Baby screaming at you." (he says this any time Josh is trying to get our attention), "I want to go hiking," and "I want to play outside!" He definitely keeps us busy. We have decided 2 year olds have a lot of energy. His favorite things to do is pile all the cushions off the couch and jump on them, wrestle with Ape Face (his stuffed gorilla) and hiking. On our trip to Moab, Zack acted like this for half of the first day. He hated hiking and hated the backpack. Well after some talking to by his Dad, he loves hiking. We have even done a couple hikes around here and he loves it.

CONGRATS!!!

Congrats Josh and Becky! This is my little brother and his fiancee. They just got engaged and I am so happy for them! Just over 2 years ago, I gave Becky's number to Josh (Becky was a young woman in my ward) and told him to call her. They hit it off. But after a couple months of dating, my brother left for a mission. They sort of wrote, she got busy going to the Y and he got busy doing the Lord's work. He came home on April 16th. They got together and before we knew it they were engaged. They are a very cute couple. They will get married October 16th in the Salt Lake Temple. Congrats! I am excited!!
