Joseph Appreciation Day:)

Well Everyone Joseph's Appreciation Day was a hit:) Thanks to all of you who helped out. Joseph loved all the letters very much:) A Reps wife, Joslyn (LOVE HER) did an appreciation day for her hubby last year so we all picked a day we could do it for our hubby's:) GREAT IDEA:) So this is what I came up with for Joseph When Joseph got up Wed morning this is what he saw:) Sign, Apron, Shirt, Beef Jerky, Cute poem my mom made, explaining that throughout his day he will be receiving letters from people that care about him:) (THANKS MOM) and his first letter

I received 14 letters in all:) (THANK YOU EVERYONE) You are probably wondering why there is only 10, I took a pic before I got all the letters and forgot to take another one when I had them all, Silly me:)... Here is an up close pic of the apron I made Joseph, it was so fun to make:).... Well before Joseph went to his meeting he asked if he could ride my bike. It was his day, so of course he could:):) Joseph said he never felt so girly in his life. He drove past this HUGE tough guy with tattoos and his HUGE tough dog and he felt silly:):) HA HA HA
And of course I made him take a pic with his apron on:):) It fits him well:)

While he was working I made a HUGE Kiss, here is each stage:)


This is the finished product, with another gift (shirt) and his 11th letter:)

I had put letters in different spots ahead of time and the whole morning Joseph was looking everywhere for them, he loved them and wanted to read them all:) I of course made him wait to read some of them after he got home:)
In our living room as you can see, I propped our mattress up like theater seating:) and put another present (new shaver) his 12th letter and Chocolate dipped strawberries:) And watched a movie on our laptop.
YUMMY sooooo good:)

Thanks again to everyone that made this day turn out so good. we love you all:)

This is for you MOM:)

So Joseph and I were driving around this sunday and I saw this store. I love when I see peolpes names that I know on street signs or stores, so I had to take this of my moms name:):) Love ya mom, always thinkin of ya:):) Thanks for all you do for us!!!

My new Bike:)

Ok so here is the story of this bike:):) Our ward has a ton of families that live here for dental school. Well when they were done with school in may and when they were all leaving I got a ton of emails saying things like, "Getting rid of table anyone want it" or " Moving anyone want a couch" So I had the bright idea to email and see if anyone was getting rid of a bike or if I could borrow one until I leave. I got a ton of responses and so low and behold my "Granny Bike" :):) My favorite part is it has baskets on both sides its sweet:):)
