Big Boy Bed

In October my dad began building Josiah's "big boy bed." He had it all done, but the decorations and the polyurethane. It has only taken us over a month to finish it, but Monday night Josiah got to sleep in his big boy bed. He was very excited about it. He was not the least bit upset that he was no longer going to be in his crib. In fact yesterday he wanted to take a nap early so he could be in his bed. So far he has slept great in it. Today, while he was taking a nap, I snapped a picture.

The bed is made out of cedar. We liked the natural look so we put polyurethane on it. We painted Josiah on the head board in Beaver Orange and put a Lighting McQueen and Mater sticker on it. On the foot board we painted Swick and put OSU stickers on it.

Can't believe my due date is only 3 weeks away. We are not ready at all for the arrival of the baby. Right now you can't walk into the baby's room it is so disorganized. But we plan to work on it tomorrow. No...we don't have a name picked out. We don't even have a list. Maybe that will be something we do while I am in labor. :) I did have a baby shower on Saturday and received lots of warm clothes for him, so I do have the peace of mind knowing he won't freeze to death once he comes out.

In other news, Josiah is going to have an uncle. Yep...Auntie Pam is getting married. We are so excited for her and Matt.

Josiah the Weatherman

When my parents were here the end of September we took a trip to Portland to the Oregon Science Museum. Josiah had a lot of fun exploring the different exibits. One of the exhibits was about weather and it gave an opportunity for you be a weatherman on T.V. Here is the video of Daddy and Josiah doing the weather.

Pumpkin Patch

Today I finally felt motivated to blog again. I spent yesterday doing a lot of cleaning and my back is reminding me today that I probably pushed it too far. But I still have a burning desire to accomplish something so I decided to blog.

A couple of weeks ago we went to a local farm called Heavenly Harvest for the Octoberfest activities. The farm is an organic farm owned by one of the members of our church. They have lots of activities for kid and you can take a hay ride down to the pumpkin patch and pick out your own pumpkin. Josiah had a blast.

Playing in the boxes of corn. Here he is making a corn angel.

This is the family on the hay ride. Josiah was so excited because we got to sit up front near the tractor.


No I am not hiding a pumpkin under my shirt. :)

We found our pumpkin. All 30 lbs of it.

In other news, Josiah came down with a cold. He has a high fever (104.2), runny nose, and a slight cough. We finally got his temperature down enough to where he is sleeping peacefully. Pray it doesn't last long and that the rest of us don't get it.
