On this day Joshua and I brought a picnic lunch and spread out a blanket to eat it on, it was a good day. I should plan a few more of these.

Washington park
We spent a lot of time at Washington park last week so I thought I would take some pictures. I know Joshua loves the park and would spend all of his time there if he could so before winter hits I thought I would take him to the park a lot. I just need to make sure we are bundled up. Joshua is now able to climb on all of the equipment with out the help of me. Of course he likes me to follow him around, push him on the swing and catch him when he slides down the slide but I enjoy doing all of those things anyway.

Territorial Prison
Tuesday 4 lady friends of mine and their children went to the Territorial Prison within our city limits. We had a great time walking through the restored prison and reading about everyone who had served time there. Butch Cassidy served some time there too as well as 12 women inmates. I think I'll go back again and look at other buildings on the grounds, they have a museum and other buildings we can look in.
Here are some pictures of our trip there. I suggest if you are in town you should stop in and see it, it is only $5.

This look out extended from the third floor so the guard could see all the jail cells.

Labor Day
For Labor Day Michael, Joshua, and I picked lunch up from Carl Jr. and followed the Winegars past the Lincoln Monument to a nice picnic area in the woods. It was chilly and windy but we enjoyed our time together. I really can't remember what else we did, it must not have been important or I am too tired to think. : ) Enjoy the pictures.

Joshua looks like an Elk. He had fun with the sticks.
A flower Joshua picked for me. We told him we had to leave it there since we were in a park and you are supposed to only take with you what you brought. He was sad, but let me take a picture so we could leave it.

Blurb
I just wanted to let everyone know of a very cool program. I got the idea from Kristen's sister, it is called booksmart and you can get it from www.blurb.com. Using this program you are able to upload your blogs and print them out so you can have a hard cover book. I just finished coping and pasting my xanga blog to the booksmart so I can delete that blog and have it in a really nice album. Of course I deleted any blog that I didn't want or care to see later in the future. Unfortunately xanga is one that you cannot upload onto the booksmart program. That is why I had to copy and paste.
Blogger is one of the blogs booksmart can automatically upload your blogs to. It doesn't take very long and all your blogs and pictures are on the correct page. The prices are great too. This way we have a detailed photo album of all of our travels and life experiences all in one album. I know I sell scrapbooking things but I really think I will start doing this instead of scrapbooking.
I hope you all enjoy the program I know I have.

First UW football game.
Yesterday was our first UW football game. We went two hours early so we could go to the tailgate party outside the football stadium. They had all sorts of food to eat and blow up games for the little ones. Joshua had a blast doing everything, he didn't want to leave. It was a very warm day yesterday so Joshua's cheeks got bright pink. He did great sitting in the stands, much better than last year. I brought coloring books for him, picture books, food, and drinks. We will deffinatly be going to more games this fall. Once we got home Joshua and I took a nap on our bed it felt great to finally get a nap in. ( the last two days he hasn't been wanting a nap).
Last night we walked to LaPrele park. I love that park for many reasons but we chose that park last night because it is smaller and we can sit and watch him and not have to help him do everything.
Cheerleaders tying to get us pumped up.
Grammy and Joshua. Look at those pink cheeks.

We only stayed until just after half time. Here are some pictures and a video clip of the band. Go WYO!!!

Cards
I left for bible study tonight at 6:50 or so and was gone for a couple of hours. I was planning on having Joshua in bed asleep by then so I could go by myself. He didn't get a nap in today so I thought that was a pretty doable goal. Well 6:50 came my friend called to see if I wanted a ride and Joshua was still awake. Michael said not to worry and I left.
My friend dropped me off at 9:00 and the lights were out, which I thought was a pretty good sign that Joshua was asleep. I walk in the door to Baby Einstein on the television and my 2 1/2 year old looking at me from the top of the couch. He was awake and looked VERY tired. I asked him if he wanted to lay down "Yes" he said reaching up for me to hold him. We made it to the stairs "cocoa milk" he said, so I found a sippy filled it with milk and up stairs we went. He knows he isn't allowed milk in bed so we move to his chair. As I watch him drink his milk and hold his blanket I am in awe of him as if he were a newborn again. I love that he needs a blanket and I love how he fiddles with the blanket until he has that perfect corner for him to move between his fingers. I love the drinking sounds he makes and watching his eyes fall slowly down. When he finished the sippy we moved straight to bed ( I know a terrible thing to do. Yes tonight he didn't brush his teeth right before bed but he did two times in the last two hours, and we don't do that every night). I covered him up kissed him and told him good night.
I am really not upset at all that he stayed up two hours past what I wanted him to stay up till. I found out that he and Michael played the card game WAR for an hour. Joshua now can tell you all four suits of a deck of cards. I am very impressed and cannot wait to play this game with him later. I love seeing my guys have a good time, and know that Joshua can do with out me sometimes. This is good for both of them. I am looking forward to next Tuesday night.
