Throw Back ThursdayJosh's younger years

Since we celebrated Josh's birthday this weekend, I wanted to look back at his  younger years.  I found these great photos and wanted to share them.

Memorable MondayApproaching Honor Society

It was so neat to see Josh inducted into the National Honor Society.  I'm so proud of Josh!!!  In high school, my GPA hovered just under 3.5.  The teacher over the National Honor Society was watching to see if my GPA ever reached 3.5.  I wasn't able to reach that goal nor make it into the National Honor Society.  We didn't have weighted classes which is disappointing because I too AP Chemistry my senior year.  I wish I worked a little harder in school and became a member of NHS.  

National Honor Society

Josh was inducted into the National Honor Society last night. Josh has work so hard in school and I'm so proud of him.

Congratulations Josh!!!!!!!

Josh turns 17

Josh turned 17 year old today.  He is growing up into a fine young man.  Here are some pics of him growing up.

We started off celebrating Josh's birthday by touring the the remodeled Inter-Stake Center.  Afterwards, he headed to Red Robin for a Josh's birthday dinner.  It was so yummy!!!

Tiffany arranged a party for him at the Neumeyers, which was so nice of her.  Here are pics of the evening.  I love seeing Josh hanging out with friends!!!

My sisters and I had lunch with my mom and this picture came to mind - Dec. 2010 - not too far back

Diana Harris

Diana Harris passed away on August 17th and her funeral was today. She was one of my mom's best friends.  She would visit my mom, and Lisa and I would love to be there for those visits.  I loved discussing books with her and hearing her opinion.  She was an amazing lady and we will miss her dearly.  It was sad to hear that she lost her battle to breast cancer.  She was only 55 years old, too young to die.  Here are some pics of her at Steve's wedding.

I love her laugh

Memorable MondaySoccer

Josh played soccer with 3 teams.  The first team wasn't really a team, just a group of boys learning to play the game.   It was fun to watch them chase after the ball.  They didn't know any soccer positions so it was a free for all.  The second team was the "Grass Stains" through AYSO.  Josh made a new friend - Stephen and Danni met Emma.   On game day, the boys would split into two fields so that every boy would have a good chance of kicking the ball  It was a great season and I really loved going to the soccer games and practices.  The third team was with the Blue Jays.  This was the season that Josh realized that he didn't really like soccer, so it was the last season.  

Josh is ready to play
