Makin' Music and Makin' a Mess

Kids toys

(i.e. toys created for the sole purpose of playing by children)

Are OVER-RATED!

Big Boy trying to feed himself. Probably should've had a bib on, eh?

But really....

Can you look this good wearing your food?

Isaac's Walking.....

Trip to the Zoo

The weather was a little nicer today so we took a short trip to the zoo. It was nice to get out of the house and enjoy some fresh air.

What a monkey!

(You decide which one I am talking about!)

Measuring up in size....This time Isaac could stand on his own!
Check out those new shoes! Gotta have 'em now that I am a walking boy.

Shawn is about 4 1/2 feet tall now.

Chris is getting closer... almost 5 ft now.

Love love love this picture of Shawn!!!

Isaac was so chilled out by the end of the trip.
Can't you tell?

We can't wait to get more time at the zoo together.

It is a great way for the family to get out, get some exercise and hang out together.

CoCo Keys - Weekend in Kansas City

A few weekends ago - on March 5th - we went to Kansas City for the night. We stayed and played at the hotel. It was Isaac's first time and the boys had a blast. Sorry there are not too many pics of the big boys.... They move to fast and the waterslides do not produce great pictures.

This pic was after the nap -

Before the nap - he did not like the water too much!

Finally comfortable enough to stand in the pool on his own.
The only semi-decent picture from the weekend.

Isaac showing all the girls his eyelashes.... He knows we're jealous!

Who me?

I'm cute?

No Way!!!

We had a great weekend away with our family and a few close friends.

We hope to be able to do it again soon - and might even go next fall ....

because the San Fransisco 49ers will be playing the Kansas City Chiefs!

The Earthly struggles are over - Rest in Peace

March 3, 2010

This picture is from the last time I was able to see my Grandma.

Her Christmas present was a picture of her only 3 great grandchildren.

Isaac was the first biological grandchild and he lit up her face!

I will cherish these photos forever.

We love you Grandma!

Teeth and Toys

Showing off the newest tooth....

one more to go yet on the top right.

I seriously love Isaac's baby blue eyes!

Can you guess what is the object of Isaac's affection tonight?

That's right - A hair brush!

He has also figured out the 18 month old toy train....
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
