We have church at 11 and nursery is last so by the time we get home Travis is well over due for a nap. Joe was going to put him down and after a while it was really quiet...which never happens in our house. I went in to check on them and I guess Joe was over due for a nap too.
Joe turned 26 last Saturday. This was one of the first times that he has been home (not at work or school all day) on his birthday. He did have to go to school and help some students with a test but after that he was with us. We were going to go to Chuck E. Cheese but we got asked to do an activity for the ward that night. We left early to come home and have ice cream cake. Joe really likes Cold Stones ice cream cakes but I can't stand spending that much money for them. So I made him one instead. It turned out pretty good. Joe got his one piece and Travis got the rest of the cake. The things we do for our children. 
Travis got a package the other day from Grandma Meri. He was so excited that he wouldn't let me help him carry it up the stairs for him. He walked straight into the house and started opening it. The first thing that he took out were his new shoes. He took off his old sh
oes and put them on as fast as he could. He loves them so much that yes, he sleeps with them on. The funny thig is that they are 2 sizes too big so he looks like he wearing clown shoes.
I actually let Joe cook dinner the other night. In the four years that we have been married I have never let him cook dinner...and me eat it. He made Sloppy Joe's from scratch and we all ate it. Look on Shauna's Blog for the recipe link for the recipe...or as Joe would call it "the mix."
