Beating the Heat

I chose the hottest weekend to have a garage sale. Guess that is my luck!

Isaac spent his mornings playing with friends and enjoying the coolest part of the day.

Friday - Rachael and her kids (Macy and Reese) came over to play.

Rachael won tickets to a concert the day before and while we doing the garage sale,

she won backstage passes!

Jill and her kids (Zarena and Malachi) came over on Saturday morning for a bit. It was so hot!

Zarena helped though by putting a little water on the situation.

Boy oh Boy did he sleep good!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!

To my daddy....
Who is just fun to hang around!

and to my Grandpa

Who still plays like a big kid!

Happy Father's Day to my daddy and my grandpa! We love you!

Love Isaac

It's Been Raining!

This is Haworth Park in Bellevue. It is right on the Missouri River and we used to play football right across the street from this camping area. Doesn't look like many campers or boating will be visiting the park anytime soon. This place is baracaded and blocked by police. No entry allowed. I guess Chad better work on rescheduling his picnic for work next weekend.

Here's the video... Oh Me Oh My!

Isaac has been growing up so much lately, I hardly feel like he is a baby anymore. Makes me a little sad, but also so excited to see all the new things he is learning everyday. He is such a copy cat and chatterbox. I thought I should quickly update what he is up to at 14 months old.

14 months

Isaac

* is fully mobile. He walks everywhere and sometimes runs.

* says momma, daddy, yes, uh-oh, oh me, oh my, and all done on a consistent basis.

* signs more, milk and up.

* scrunches his nose when he is being silly and then breathes in and out fast to make you laugh at him.

* goes down the stairs facing forwards. He refuses to go on his belly which scares the tar out of me (we have had a few tumbles down the stairs).

* has figured out all things BOY. He climbs furniture, tumbles off furniture, plays in the mud (at least one change of clothes at daycare required), chases the dog, and plays ball (recently figured out throwing and catching...sort of)

* sleeps 11-12 hours a night! To bed by 8:15 and awake by 7:30 or 8:00.

* does not use the pacifier at all except for bedtime (hopefully that will be gone altogether by the end of next week - Wish us luck!)

* has 7 teeth - 4 on top, 3 on the bottom

* eats very little baby food.

* is finally eating table foods for most meals.

* Fruit that he likes -

- Pears

- Strawberries

- Peaches

- Apples

- Applesauce

* Vegetables that he likes -

- Broccoli

- Squash

- Green Beans (with Ranch Dressing on it - Blech! -

though I don't have room to talk - I ate them with mustard when I was little)

- Peas (with Ranch Dressing on it - Ew!)

- Sweet Potatoes (with some not so healthy toppings :)

* Isaac also likes most meats, potatoes, and pastas.

* loves dipping everything. Dips include ketchup, ranch, hummus, and yogurt.

* imitates things we do and say.

* started swimming lessons on Saturday June 12.

I tried to post a short video, but it is not loading. That's what our little guy is up to these days. Keeping us busy and entertained and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Swagger Wagon

Yep....

That's Right!

We got it!

The Swagger Wagon!

Starting off June with a bang...

We started off June by

Selling our boat!

We decided that with a little guy and no big kids during the summer months

we did not get the value out of the boat.

The pool may be next to go.... more to come on that!

This last weekend, Omaha had Sand in the City.

Local businesses created sculptures out of sand.

I love this pins face!
Dr. Seuss is always kid friendly.

Isaac has become ALL boy. He climbs everything, plays in the mud, likes everything messy or ornery, kicks and throws balls, figured out how to play with the dog, and chatters non-stop. Only a few words are intelligible (more to come on that with a 14 month update) but he is hilarious, especially in the car.

How can you resist that face?

This is the face we get when he is doing something he knows he should not be doing. He turns around and give us a cheezy grin as if to say, "What are you gonna do about me now?"

But really, how can you resist this face?

I mean.... I personally think he is irresistably adorable!
(Grandma - Look Close and you can see my new tooth. See it on the bottom? I have another one coming in on the other side too!)

And last.... but NOT least....

We rounded out the first few days of June by buying....

a brand new (238 miles on the odometer) 2011 Toyota Sienna.

Isn't it purdy?

Well... with all this busy(ness) I am exhausted.

Be back with more pictures soon!
