I think any mother could be proud at this Sunbeams reverence. It's even still January! Yeah all joking a side, this is Isaac, sleeping. He was OUT!!! It was pretty funny, thanks Kelts for getting the picture!
Another funny story about my Sunbeam: I asked his teacher how he is doing, she says fine but. . . :) Apparently every week the class before his some one throws gum a way in the garbage. And every week Isaac is drawn to it "like a moth to the flame" (her words), and picks it out and says "look, Yucky gum!" I just know one day he'll be chewing something when I pick him up then I'll be the one saying "Yucky gum!!!"
On Dec 18th I got a baby sitter, and headed into Mesa, Dave and I met up somewhere by ASU and drove closer to campus together, as you can see Seth got to come with. The other two boys would not have appreciated it, and would have cut down on the amount of appreciation we had as well so they got to play with a babysitter at home. Many of Dave's family were there and we all screamed to our hearts content as Daddy passed us by! It was a great (only semi- to long) ceremony. We all met at a restaurant and ate dinner afterward and called it a day. It did feel like some kind of a weight had been lifted. So yeah!
A good and very patient friend took our Christmas card picture(s) this year, so a huge thank you goes out to Jessica! I loved the way it turned out and wanted to share it.
We had a great Christmas! Here is our annual letter:
Where to start?The year started off with a new baby, who recently turned one on Nov. 21, and is a funny little guy with a mouth full of teeth.Owen is a bit of a mama’s boy and loves to give high fives and is the snuggliest of any of all our kids thus far!His favorite game is catch and already has a pretty good arm and aim! (If we do say so ourselves).
In addition to an expanded vocabulary, Isaac’s naughty/ adorable antics have expanded as well, they often make me want to scream and kiss him all at he same time.To say Isaac loves his baby brother would be an understatement.Isaac is already counting down the days he gets to go to pre-school too, and says so every time we drop Seth off at his pre-school teachers house.Isaac turned into quite the little fish like his brother towards the end of the swimming season, another month or so and he would have been swimming on his own.
Still our resident Super-Hero, Seth continually surprises us with his ability to charm, family and friends alike.If mommy has been a good mommy then he calls her his princess mommy.Seth may prove to be quite the photographer some day, we will randomly find strange pictures of cartoons, Isaacs feet, and peanut butter on the camera.Most likely taken when Seth wakes up earlier then mom is willing to.Seth enjoys school and is working through his dyslexic tendencies with the letter S.
Julie keeps busy and then some with these fun boys and her new calling as 2nd counselor in the Primary Presidency.Which means she gets to cover Cub scouts and all the fun primary stuff.She still enjoys being a Webelos Den Leader until a replacement is found, but will sincerely miss that interaction.She has grown as a runner as of late, having completed a recent 10K now has ideas to start training for a half marathon in the near future.But she mostly just enjoys going on long runs to sweat and gab with her friends.
We have all been holding our breath for the end of this semester, as it is Dave’s last, but as you can imagine Dave will feel it the most.As I type we look forward to his graduation ceremony at ASU in two weeks and two days, (Dec 18th).Dave has had a new calling as well that has required much stretching, being Young Men’s President will perhapskeep him equally busy as his schooling did.But it’s a different kind of busy and we are all enjoying the blessings of service.Dave was offered a permanent position at the same company he interned with, which we are infinitely grateful for, and as of last June has enjoyed fulltime employment at Parsons Electric.Dave was able to buy a new, (new to us) truck, and is highly pleased with his purchase.
Our little family is growing not so little anymore and is still strong in the Gospel.We could count our blessing from now until next Christmas if time allowed, but will suffice to say we feel the Lord’s hand in our lives daily and are so grateful for it!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all: our beloved family and friends!
Here we are! Our little Queen Creek running band of Mommies. :) We all trained together for this 10k race with the exception of our newest member, she came already having done a few marathons so she was pretty much a long for the ride. But now maybe she'll coach us for a half marathon? We'll see. I have to confess, I didn't get my camera out at all on Thanksgiving, so this was the Saturday after. (me, Kera, Cherise, Breanna, Genevieve)
But Thanksgiving was great. How can you not love a holiday that promotes gratitude with delicious food! Happy Holidays everyone, and remember to send me a Christmas card! :)
Owen hit the big 1 year mark and still doesn't love being in his car seat even though he faces forward! But he sure loved this cake! It was a great chocolaty mess byt he time he was done, but the pictures say it all! I had to do some serious high pitched pretend sneezes to get this guy to notice anything other then the pile of sugar in front of him! But that face was well worth it. The Clean up. He eventually got down to his natural birthday suit to get cleaned up! This guy just makes me smile all over! He was a surprise to our family, and I am so grateful for it! He is mellow as can be and is still so much snugglier then my other two ever were! His older brothers adore him (one a little too much to Owen's liking), And is a mama's boy so far which I love! Happy Birthday big guy!
One day while trying to be a "princes mommy," I decided to make these masks, since Seth has a buddy (with much more fun boy toys then we have), that has a batman mask, and since the moment Seth set eyes on it, he was in love. He frequently asks about it at random moments. So I found on line how to make them, and waa-laa! :) Not too shabby right! But you'd better believe batman comes in pairs at our house!
I got in touch with my domestic side this month. I caned one box of peaches and two boxes of pears. I used a little raspberry and peppermint extract and wow! I am actually looking forward to canning next year!This month's theme in cub scouts was jungle safari, so I made some animal cupcakes I found on the internet. In case you can't tell they are tigers, zebras, lions and monkeys. They went pretty fast! Isaac helped me decorate for Halloween while Seth was at pre school. He was pretty proud of himself! I love the alone time I get with this guy! Funny, same outfit from the last picture. I guess I like Isaac in brown. Here we are on the carousel at the zoo. A friend was nice enough to take us and let us use some of their passes. We had fun, and none of the kids ever really reached the tired bratty stage, which to me is pretty miraculous for an outing at the zoo! Seth found an inch worm on our stroller. It's on his thumb, I hope it liked the plant we put him on! There was a crazy busy week for Dave when he didn't get to see the kids from a Tuesday night to a Saturday night due to work, school and a scout camp out. So we visited him at work and went to lunch. It was quite the sight to see us in the restaurant during business lunch hour! But it was fun, these boys sure love their daddy! Since the boys couldn't go on the above mentioned camp out, I set up a tent for them in Seth's room. They loved it and actually went to sleep pretty well. :) HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Well for most of us anyway! :) Owen wasn't quite feeling the bumble bee, even though we hooked him up with a cute lady bee and a sweet ride! What a cry baby! These guys on the other hand. . . I think the picture speaks for it's self! I'm just sad these are post trick or treating pictures, now you can't see the awesome go-T I penciled on Isaac's face! Hope you all had a fun, safe Halloween too. And are as ready as I am for the real holidays! :)
Owen had been mobile since 7 months, but until recently that wasn't really a problem. Now it seems I am rescuing him every other minute, all the while he's got this big goofy grin on his face!He really likes the way he gets maximum results on the noise factor with pans! Half the time he is on the open dishwasher, I just happen to take the picture before it progressed to that. And I have to admit, there has been like maybe 2 times when I will hear some noise coming from upstairs and I'll look around to count heads and sure enough Owen's missing. This kid is stealthy!
September was a great month! Lots going on. We had the best rain storms as you can see. Az doesn't get a whole lot of rain (definition of desert:)) So we enjoy it when it comes. Seth was so excited to use the umbrella hat his Granddad & Grandma had bought him when we were on vacation all together last month in San Diego. But we were not so excited to see this little (thankfully) guy taking a swim in our pool! Dave scooped it up into a big bucket and we all jumped in the truck to release it out in the no mans land not far from our house. Had I taken care of it, a shovel would have been involved no dought! (Yeah, that's a rattler). Seth was monkeying around one day during nap time, I left him alone while he organized his animals, then went to check on him after it got quiet and this is what I found. Security in numbers right! Owen needed his own tooth brush, so we (I) finally bought him one. He likes it and gets the funniest look on his face while I brush his teeth. He just doesn't like the top fronts brushed for some reason, I remember Isaac was the same way. And yes, we were still doing this and swimming in September. Infact I think our last swim of the season was late Sept. The boys love playing with the hose, and had fun taking turns chasing each other around. They can be the best of pals when they want to be. We make a point to go to Freestone park when the weather is nice. The ducks cooperate pretty well with my picture taking request, I wish I could say the same about my boys! I can't resist a cute sleeping baby picture. Owen had to get a nap in before a church meeting, and was NOT ready to get up. I took about 10 pictures then I had to poke him several times to get him up. Don't you just love sweater vests! Ward Campout! It was fun! and sadly enough the first time the whole family got out camping this year. Dave has gone a lot with the scouts, and I took the boys to a friends cabin once (if that counts) so we were glad to go. Even though there ended up being drama, and colder then we thought. But we survived and would do it again. Busted. I bust him on a regular basis these days. I generally knew where the others where at any given time, but now there is 3 in the mix, lets just say Owen gets a bit longer of a rope then the others got. This is a cute hat Seth made in pre-school. Cutest darn kitty I ever did see! We had a great September! I only regret not getting a picture of Dave and I on our 9th wedding anniversery. Oh well, I cooked steak and Dave picked up some yummy lemon dessert from Macaroni grill, and we ate by candle light while the boys watched a show in the other room. But next year there might have to be a big cruise ship invloved! :)
It's not hard to catch this guy grinning! Owen has actually had teeth since he was 7 months old, and he is now 11 months and 2 days old. I was just looking for a picture to post while I wait to download my more current pictures for an update. And a bit of happy/sad news: he is officially on formula until he turns 1 then it will be cows milk. He does good with any kind of food and drink. And I am sure when he gets his first taste of cake at his party, he will do good with that as well!
In August we met my parents in San Diego, CA for some much needed R&R. We mainly beached it, but loved every minute of it! My parents flew in late Friday night, Dave picked them up and the next day the boys woke up to Grandma and Granddad! They were super excited! As tradition we went to the swap mart Saturday morning. We all got some fun things. Skateboards for the boys, yummy fruit, silly umbrella hats, (sorry no pictures of those since I have yet to get the pictures from my moms camera), socks for Dave, and some jewelry for my mom. Then a great bbq lunch and home for naps, yeah right! So after a failed nap attempt, we went to the beach. Grandma & Granddad graciously agreed to watch a sleeping Owen. I tried body surfing, and I must not have done it right since it didn't hurt (poor Dave was rubbed raw!), and I didn't see the appeal, I just kept thinking "there could be sharks out here."
Sunday was great all 3 hours of church, and I wish I could say it was all for the spiritual upliftment, but truth be told it was great to have two hours of free babysitting. But church was great and I got to sit by my honey since third hour was combined. Then a quick lunch and off to the Temple. I love, love when you come zipping along on the free way and boom! There is this majestic white work of architectual wonder. Beautful! Took some scenic pictures, and left since it turned out that we shouldn't have been able to get in, but some guy there left the gate open since he was only going to be a minute. Nice for us! I think this is the night we had a prime rib dinner, my dad does the best prime rib! Yum!
Monday we went to a less crowded beach to find sea shells. It turned out to be a lucky beach, Dave found a little sand crab that Seth deemed his pet. My dad learned how to find several sand crabs at once from a guy who uses them as bait, a bigger black crab, and $10 in the ocean. My mom found a couple whole sand dollars, very rare. Owen didn't get sick from all the sand he ate. And we didn't get too badly sunburned even though I forgot my sunblock! But the crabs were the best entertainment, only because of the boys' reaction to them. Seth loved his little sand crab, he named him Carl, and put him in a bucket and gave him water and sand and rocks and shells ect. . . and never left his side. Then along comes this big ol' black crab that my dad found (he got pinched pretty good holding on to him, but he loves his grand kids!). We introduced him to Carl, and Seth flips out, so scared of the big nasty looking thing and sure it was going to eat Carl! Finally we put them in separte buckets, since Isaac thought Charlie (the black crab), was cool and preferred him over small boring Carl. When it was time to go, and set the crabs free, we narrowly escaped drama by explaining to Seth if we took the crabs home their families would be so sad! Great day with great fish tacos to finish it up!
Tuesday was time to go home, we packed up, dropped my parents off at the airport and headed home. So fun can't wait for another beach vacation!
This kid is hands down the most easy going, and snugly baby we've had yet! Yeah for mom! He also attracts the most attention from strangers. My other kids got noticed, but not cooed over for long periods of time while strolling down the isles in Wal Mart. (I say this not for mere motherly pride, but for my journaling purposes as well). Well that's enough of my biased opinion, I love this little cutie.
I thought it might be fun to play where's waldo, only in this picture it's where's Isaac? This is what I came down stairs to one day. I guess he wanted some attention?
And then there's the caped crusaders. These used to be aprons the boys' sweet great grandma made. I never used them (because I am a creature of habit and use the one's I got as a wedding gift only). But as you can see they make great capes and my self proclaimed super hero (Seth) loves it and I even gave in and let him where it to wal-mart yesterday. Yeah we got some funny looks. I have to say, after this picture we had flying practice and I let the boys jump off the coffee table for a while. I took pictures, but they were all pretty blury! I would love a new camera! Some day. . .
And I just love this picture of all my dirty boys! I love bath tub pictures and I love these guys!
Seth's newest favorite song. It's one he has learned for the primary program this fall. He must have gotten stage fright because I ussually don't have to help him.
I know we're all thinking "poor baby!" But no worries!
See all better.
It's hilarious when he tries to crawl like this. For the record I tried and tried to make Owen a binky baby like my other two, but he just didn't want to.
So for now I have the "awe, how cute he's sucking his thumb." And I am just hoping it doesn't turn into, "there's a kid in my fifth grade class that still sucks his thumb mom."
We went to Utah for two family reunions and had a great time. We got a late start on thurs and so we stopped over night in Kanab. The boys shared a bed for the first time and did pretty well, the fact that it we midnight when we stopped may have had something to do with it too. We were able to stop and see Great Grandma. We love to stop there and the boys were happy to streach their legs. Owen was meeting most of my side of the family for the first time so there was never a dull moment for him!
We spent the weekend with the VC family and had a great time! Seth got to do one of his favorite things: sing "How Firm A Foundation" in the family talent show. OK so maybe it is one of his mom's favorite things, but he did great! We particularly loved spending time up Provo canyon and getting to know better all the great extended family we have!
Dave flew home to work a bit and so it we just the boys and I for 3 days. We got our wiggles out at the "jumping store" as Seth calls it, and nap time was mostly successful! Dave came back Thursday morning and we went to Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house, then lunch and nap time. Later that day we were able to go to the Mt Timpagnogas Temple with my parents and two of my brothers and their wives. I would do that every week if I could! Friday we were off to the cabin, or Green Heavens for my families reunion. We ate great food and canoed and enjoyed the beauties of nature as well as each other. So fun! The drive home Sunday afternoon was scenic since we stayed on the 89 which took us through a bunch of small towns. we stayed over night again and took advantage of the continental breakfast.
Home was a sight for sore eyes, but at 95 degrees it took a while to feel comfortable. The ac was probably running non stop for 8 hours just to cool the house back down! Gotta love AZ. We look forward to another trip in the future. Love to all till then!
Hey all you moms out there, are you sick and tired of chubby, undisciplined babies? Well Owen has the answer! He has decided to start his own baby bootcamp. First they'll start with some basic strength training exercises like push ups.Then play some hard core games of football to toughen them up! Hike! They'll run an award winning obstacle coarse. But don't worry they'll have a personal trainer to correct form and prevent injury the whole time. The result? A baby anybody could love! :) Sleeping through the night is a separate coarse that will cost extra! Any takers?
Happy Birthday Old Man! :-o (he hates when I call him that) But it's funny because he is anything but old! He is young at heart in the best ways! He loves to have fun, make friends, and just be goofy. It's becoming a tradition to have fruit pizza for Dave's b-day, and his b-day landed on our taco Tuesday night so we had taco's which is one of his favorite meals anyway. Dave had to blow out his candles with one hand over Isaac's mouth so he could get his wish fair and square. Dave got a new tie from Seth (Seth picked it out himself). He got socks from Isaac, a church music CD from Owen and a new CTR ring from me. The ring is going back, turns out he would rather his old one fixed, but I kinda knew that already I just wanted to have something CTR-ish there at presents time so he knew I was thinking of him. It's the thought that counts right! :) Anyway so now I need to find a jeweler. Correction: Dave's b-day fell on a Wednesday, but he was going to scout camp or priesthood encampment wed 4am till late Saturday, so we celebrated on Tuesday. The boys and I secretly made him about 80 cupcakes and delivered them to the camp cooks and they graciously agreed to surprise him on his actual b-day! :) Seth did all the "sprinklers" (sprinkles) himself. And I had to swear him to secrecy, he only mentions the "carrot muffins" once but I think I made some "weird comment" (according to Dave after I explained the slip up) and he brushed it off. :) Dave said he was genuinely surprised and loved it! As well as everyone else I'm sure. We love you Daddy Dave!
At the first attempt Owen was more interested in eating his toes, of coarse every time I tried to get a picture of that he stopped. I now have a high chair and the tray prevents him from getting to his toes, but he will suck his thumb in between bites, and get mad at me for removing his thumb long enough to get more cereal in. I have yet to try veggies, but I am sure he is looking forward to it! :)
Seth had his first pre-school graduation ceremony, or end of year program as I would refer to it. It was soooo cute to see him and all his little friends/classmates singing songs, saying the pledge and saying their memorized nursery rhymes that they chose. Seth chose "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over the candle stick." He had it down on the ride home when he first got it. I was kinda bugged this kid jumped in the picture, but what are you gonna say? oh well, he was actually the other kid in Seth's class named Seth. Anyway, Seth loved Mrs. Dieu and looks forward to seeing her again in Aug.
My heart is always so full on Mother's Day. It amazes me how all the feelings of trying for two years to conceive and then to be blessed with a pregnancy comes back to me this day. But it doesn't stop there. After the birth of my first son the vision of motherhood came clearer, and made me so grateful that my mother was willing to do it 6 times! (last the best of all the game right! :)). So happy mothers day to all the outstanding mothers out there in my life (whether you have kids or not!) Thank you for your good examples and to my own mom, I love you! The primary sang in front during sacrament meeting today and like every primary program I got teary! There is just something about the strength of the youth up front for all to see trying to make their parents proud. While one son was up front grinning (not singing but cute as a button) another slobbering on my fingers, and another kneeling on his daddy's lap watching all the kids, I felt gratitude. It's great to be a woman, it's great to be a mother, and I feel the love of my Father in Heaven as a daughter of God. I hope you all do too! Happy Mother's Day!
So I have started the Book Group Blog. It's called Boredom's Bailout Book Group. Discussion will start May 15th, unless I get a comment from all those that decided to read the book stating they're done with the book. The link is also on the side of my blog. Happy reading! --Julie
Our pool wasn't clean enough to swim in, so. . . . We had friends over and I originally filled this bucket up so they could easily refill the waters guns they were playing with, but this was the use of choice for this bucket full of water. We also had a slippery slide. A dull day turned fun with a last minute plan to get together! I would have gotten more pictures but Owen was hungry!
Owen had found his toes, but he seems to only want them if he has no clothes on, go figure.He's not so discriminating with his fingers though. He'll take just about any combination of them.
For Easter we had a great time with most of Dave's family at his sisters house. We ate, played games, read Circle of Friends (oh that was just me), hunted for eggs, and generally enjoyed each others company. The older kids were pretty much MIA just running from here to there playing with each other. So fun! But the house was a little worse for the wear. This is on a hike, the weather wasn't too cooperative. It was very windy and cold! Owen slept in the car a lot during our picnic and hikes so I think he was the warmest of all of us.Yip, and happy to be warm too! And the day after Easter was my first annual 29th birthday! My Parents, sil Kristy and her 5 kids came from UT just in time to help me celebrate it. Thanks for the cake Landon! and dinner Mom & Dad. And thanks for coming to see us in AZ! Come back any time! Any time Grandad and Grandma are involved it's a party! We basically covered all the ages and stages from 11 yrs and down! And it's a good thing Sami is such a sport she was seriously out numbered!
I finally finished a project that has been plaguing me for years. I have had these frames for years, and never knew what to do with them. Well you don't have to think they are cute but they are a load off my shoulders! I love how it turned out and it was cheep and crafty! Yeah!Seth and Isaac were introduced to painting and although I had to stop Isaac from drinking his rinse off water (several times) it was a big hit! and I love how they concentrated while creating their own little art! My little lefty! My boys love to hold their baby Owen. And as you can see, Owen is into it more at some times then others. Seth is the gentle, nurturing one, while Isaac thinks Owen wants to be sit on and poked in the eye, and kissed twenty times a day. Well the last one may be true but only by mommy! :)
Seth's preschool teacher's husband is a firefighter (we learned they prefer to be called this as apposed to firemen, since there are fire fighting women). So they get to have a field trip to a fire station, at this particular station the captain is the dad of one of the girls in Seth's class which meant that for the first time the class got to go for a ride in the fire truck. Unfortunately the ride only lasted for a very short time since they got a call shortly after pulling out of the station. But I just love that look of pure joy in Seth's face! He was on cloud 9 for sure! He also loved that his friend Chloe was there, I traded my two monkey's for her one angel, fair I know, thanks again!
Ok, so like forever ago, I suggested an online book group. Well I have just been inspired to start it! I will chose the first book and it is up to whoever else wants to participate to suggest others. I think a good time frame would be 6-8 weeks to buy and read the book, agreed?
The book I choose is Circle of Friends : Maeve Binchy isbn #: 0385341733 Let's be done by May 15th.I just bought my copy at half.com for under $7 shipping and all. So I hope I have some takers out there since Twilight is done right? :)
I totally wanted to do some sort of crafting project lately, and get some more house decorating done too. Well my latest and greatest creation does both! And it was sooo easy! (thanks Brittany for the idea off of your blog!). I'm kinda proud of myself except for while I was trying to use the modge podge for the first time ever, I was kinda insensitive to my kids' need to detroy things, sorry guys, maybe next time.
This is me and my awesome friend Kristy! We are at her baby shower and I just had to send a shout out to congratulate her and her hubby again! Ellie is adorable and I hope that one day she chooses one on my boys to be her prince charming! So, Kristy how does an arranged marriage sound to you? Then we can actually be family instead of just pretending to be! :)
Well we had a crazy/ fun week end. Starting on thursday we had another 5 kids added to the mix, And as if that wasn't interesting enough, I was throwing a baby shower, going to a baby shower, Dave went to the Lake, I had a RS lesson to prepare and ended up spontaneously subing for a valiant 10 class. Needless to say the house took a beating! And here it is Tuesday, and I am opting to blog about a dirty house rather then clean it! :) So don't anyone tag me about taking a picture as is, because I am telling you right now, I'd cheat! (as if that isn't what happens anyway right!).
But we did have some fun! Actually quite a lot of fun! we had a play date, went to the park, made a sock creature, had a water balloon war, swam, watched movies, ate ice cream and pizza (twice), played with play dough, made forts, and lots of other fun stuff. And the best part is. . . is that now I have a free week end in the bank! Thanks Jen!!!
I love being festive, and now that I have three little people that I can make do it with me makes it even better! And they appreciate it and get excited too! (usually). :) I make sure we all wore green, and had fun green cookies after a picnic lunch at the park with friends. And had the traditional corned beef and cabbage diner, with Irish soda bread and green lemonade! So thanks for being such a good missionary St Patrick!
So I went in to wake up my sleeping baby and this is what I found. I have mixed feelings about it! If it is what he needs to comfort himself through the night great! If it is what he will need for 9+ years subsequently making a need for extensive dental work ($$$), and therapy after the mean kids do their damage, not so great! Time will tell, I still offer the binki (especially since I just bought two new ones that say "rock star" so cute!!) But we'll see.
And I just had to include this picture of my silly guy! Love this goofy kid! BTW that is post nap hair thank you very much! He learned this from his older brother who got it from the cars movie (the part where mac is making faces in the bumper of another truck in effort to stay awake). Anyway. . . funny.
The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me! What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, type up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going. Then come back and let me know you are going to play! Then sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! (Please leave your e-mail address in your post to me!)
Party time! I love parties as much (or more) then my kiddos! and I love that any time I needed Seth to behave a full week prior to his party, all I had to say was, "only good boys get birthday parties" ha! He would have gotten one any way, but it worked every time! We had a birthday breakfast, he got a birthday hat at pre-school, then the party started at 12. :) Too much fun! We had pizza, cake, played pin the tail, and a friend of mine was the big hit with the kids by making balloon creatures, or swords which is what most the boys wanted anyway! That was complete mayhem! He was so excited when the door bell rang after his party and it was another presant for him from his grandma and granddad in Utah! He loved it and it was all just enough for a short birthday nap before his favorite dinner, Hawaiian haystacks, or rice and sauce as Seth calls it. Then for a fun birthday bath with some of the pool toys he got as gifts, and off for a birthday bedtime! Ahhh! Great day, and what a great kid! Love you big son!!!
Crap! I just realized one of the pictures has a date on it. O-well I love to see the side by side comparisons! This guy is obviously Isaac, next is Seth then Owen, all at about 3-4 months of age.
Isaac it here hoping the answer to that questions is NO! (Note: Hershey's Kiss in left hand, and chair pushed up to where mom keeps the treats. Yes I had been out of the room and as he heard me enter the kitchen he purposefully kept his eyes behind the cupboard. The old "if I can't see her she can't see me" routine.)
