My New Headbands

My sister Laura was kind enough to take pictures, yet again, for my etsy shop. This time they are of me, which is kind of exciting! I'm really excited about these new fabric flowers, they take a lot of work but I think they look beautiful! You can visit my shop here http://www.justjosie.etsy.com/

Our Last Minute Trip

Josie and I couldn't wait the whole 7 weeks to see Russ, so last Monday we hopped on a plane to Vegas to hang out with him for a week. We stayed with some relatives of Russ' that were the nicest people ever, they were very good to us and fed us tons of food. We looked for apartments without much luck, drove around the city we'll soon call home, and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Now we only have 4 more weeks!

Our Last Days with Daddy

Russ started his new job on Monday, yay! However he's in Dallas for training and he'll be gone for seven weeks, which is not so yay. Josie and I already miss him very much, 3 days down and 44 to go. Anyway, on the days leading up to Russell's departure, the three of us spent some good quality time together. Russ' last day of classes was Thursday, so we took Josie to the Zoo (where a lion hunted Josie, but seriously, it charged the glass and got right up to Josie's face... thank goodness for the glass.) and later went out for ice cream to celebrate. On Saturday we went to a movie and dinner. Then Sunday morning we bawled our eyes out and said goodbye. We can't wait for Daddy to come home!

Daddy, Josie Chippy Time

This is what we're using to count down the days until dad gets home.

What Did the Easter Bunny Bring You?

Well if you ask Russ, nothing, because he is very certain there is no such thing as the Easter Bunny. According to him, a Bunny that 'poops' eggs is beyond belief, so not only does he not believe but he claims he won't allow our children to believe in such an insane idea. However, he loves Easter candy more than anyone, go figure. Anyway, despite Russell's negative attitude towards the bunny, we woke up Easter morning to beautiful candy filled easter baskets. I guess he's lucky that Josie and I believe. :)

Josie couldn't wait to dig in.(And yes my daughter is wearing boy pajamas.)

Black Eye

I know what you're thinking but no, we did not beat her. Josie's been a bit clumsy lately and fell off the kitchen stool, hit her face and has this beautiful black eye to show for it. She looks fabulous in these pictures, I know.

Spring is in the Air

Last Sunday was such a beautiful day that Russ, Josie, and I took a walk after church. I can't wait for the nice, warm weather! Here are some pictures from our stroll.

18 Months Old and Viva Las Vegas

My little baby isn't really a baby anymore. Josie is 18 months old today, time sure flies. She is getting quite the personality. She loves to eat cheese, chocolate, wheat thins and wipes. Her favorite things to do are dance, play outside, and push her stroller around with a towel on her head (wierd I know). We sure love our little 'sose' and couldn't imagine life without her!

Josie got pink eye for the first time a couple weeks ago, and she was kind enough to give it to me.

And last but not least... we are moving to Las Vegas! Russ got a job with the IRS at the Las Vegas office. He starts in April, so we will soon be residents of Sin City. I've never been, so it should be interesting, but we are very excited!
