Happy Birthday Cortney!

We get silly face picture from Taylor and he likes to make them too and send them to her.  Unfortunately, all the silly faces looks the same.  He tries hard and is very serious about it so we play along and applaud at his talent.

We are all dressed up and headed out to have Korean BBQ for Cortney's birthday.  Joseph picked out Cortney's present and help wrap it.  He is proudly holding it.

Sister Taylor couldn't make the celebration so she send her sad face picture!

We had fun seeing Joseph get excited.  He is always so glad to see his brother and sister.

Joseph picked out Dora fruit chews for Cortney's present, he helped her open it and held it for her all night.

He loves the candle part of the birthday.

There was a beautiful garden outside the restaurant so we took some pictures.  The weather and the lighting was perfect.

Mark operates the cameras at our church and this past Sunday he got to go back in the media room between services.  Joseph enjoyed sitting behind a camera with the headset on.

We did lots of fun stuff this week.  Magic show on Monday.

Kiddie Acres on Wednesday with Cortney.

We found a great pool on Friday (no pictures) with lots of fun slides he can ride.  He loves the water and is fearless of the water, I have to watch him like a hawk.   He is continuing his therapy 3 times a week and he is making good progress.  He likes his therapist Andee a lot, she makes therapy fun.

We got ice-cream after therapy.  I go through the drive-through at Mc Donald...I know I will have a mess to clean up but I am making memories and he gets to learn how to eat melting ice-cream and try to stay clean.  He hates getting dirty more than anything.  I doubt it if he will want to eat ice-cream in a cone for a while.

What we do for our kids!!!

Mark pulled Joseph shirt over his head to be silly when he at the potty and now he wants to do it all the time.  I gave him a book to make the process quicker.  I love the picture.

My face-painting skills are getting better.

We got Joseph a bike and a helmet with his Birthday money from his Grandpa.  He cannot pedal but with his new brace on his legs, his feet reaches the pedals.  Even though we have to push him on his bike, he is getting a good core workout and learn to balance.  He only had his brace got few days and is having a hard time with them but we are already seeing improvements.
