A date with Josh


He just fell in the water

us in the dug out






Me and Josh
I love this picture of us. The big smiles say it all.
Today Josh and I had so much fun. It's rare that I get to spend one on one time with Josh. I have been asking my mother in law to babysit Jade and Ben so Josh and I could have a date but she is always busy. Today we were lucky, she finally had time, YEAH!!!!.
We went to the little league fields were Josh will play T-Ball. It was closed so we had it all to ourselves. It's tucked away in the canyon so it's so beautiful with the mountains all around you. It was a rainy day today but that added to our fun. We hiked around a little, played catch with his football, and kicked his soccer ball back and forth. He has been wanting to play in the water so we went over to the wash, it's just across the street. He played in the water rain and all. Then we went home and changed into dry warm cloths. He waited for me in the car while I ran in to get the cloths. When I came back out he said to me, "Thank you mom for this special day, it's the best day ever, even better than playing with my friends". Then we went to Cold Stones for ice cream and then had In-n-out burger. What a day, what a lucky mom I am. I don't know who it made more happy him or I. There is nothing like making someone you love happy!

You're such a great mom and JoAnne prodigy! Looks like you had a lot of fun! I'll have to steal your idea with my kids!

Oh I love your post. For some reason I got all choked up. I think because when I was younger (before kids) that is how I pictured it. I guess sometimes life and the responsibilites make you forget. Thanks for the reminder.
