Again it's been a while

So once again I haven't been very good about updating the blog with new pictures. No excuses
this time, it just hasn't been my priority lately. We've had so much going on lately that it's been hard to even get time on the computer. If you know me I check Facebook constantly because I love to know what's going on in peoples lives. Lately I've been lucky to check it once a day. VBS starts on Monday and most of my time lately has been consumed with making sure things will go as planned. Today we cut long paper rolls to make robot arms and legs as well as painted 36 rockets, we have about 10 more to paint, but we ran out of paint. (On a side note, do you know how hard it is to find 10 cans of silver spray paint that doesn't cost $5 a can in Lewiston, not an easy thing to do, plus it's almost crazy how strict they are on using your ID to buy spray paint. Hello, I'm 30! I'm not going to sniff it.) But....moving on.....we still have the set to construct, painting the bodies of the robots, including arms and legs and so much more. Plus......iron on all of the shirt logos. Sheeeesh. Who decided to direct VBS this year???? Oh wait, it was me ;-) All in all it's going to be worth it. The kids will love it and our only goal is to glorify God. I guess I'm not doing that great of an example glorifying God when I'm basically complaining. We've had so much help lately and we are so thankful for all of those people.
On a side note, as we were looking for paint today, I noticed that K-mart had an extra 40% off their clearance and I got some amazing deals!
We leave for Florida in 18 days! So thankful for a vacation. I've already got a good tan started. Well at the moment it's crispy red skin. We took the kids to the pool yesterday for our last "Fun Day" and got burnt yet again. Yes, I put sunscreen on this time. I'm still pealing from the last burn. Then smart me didn't think about today and stood outside in the sun for almost 2 hour painting rockets and came in burnt even more. Can you tell I'm tired today. I left my wallet at Home Depot today which I've never done. Fortunately it was still there when we went back. God's protection for sure.
Update on Isaac: He now is into everything and I mean everything. Some how even though he can't technically crawl yet, he gets himself all moved around and can get just about anything he wants. His favorite thing to do is to climb over things. I had him sitting in Bill's office in hte middle of the floor and turned around and he had gotten on his knees and pulled himself up on a book and was trying to get into his desk drawers. Should it worry me that he loves to climb? I have a feeling my life is about to change drastically in the new few weeks. Here are some pictures.

Such a cutie in the water.

I gotta eat this duck.

What Daddy? You're bothering me.

I am so innocent.

But wait....I see a remote and I must get it.

For some reason he loves to eat the wrong end of his bottle

He loves sitting in the floor playing with his chair instead of sitting in his chair.


Look at this face

It's been a long time

So for my avid blog readers forgive me that it's been forever since I've updated the blog. I have many reasons, mainly because my computer has been getting fixed. For some reason the '2' key decided it would get stuck and after a few days none of the keys on the left side worked. Very frustrating when you're trying to type or do anything for that matter.
We've been busy with Bill preaching last week, still getting ready for VBS, having the Fun Day every Wednesday for the kids at church and watch our boy grow up WAY too quick.
Isaac has master rolling over and sitting up in the last couple of week and he's on his way to crawling. Before you know it he'll be crawling everywhere. He has a special skill for getting into everything, especially when I tell him no. Plus his new favorite thing is to spit everywhere and laughs when I tell him no. He's mastered "da-da" although he doesn't quite yet acquaint it with Bill. He waved goodbye to Bill the other morning and then Bill didn't want to leave. Bill is taking tomorrow off to spend with us since he had some flex time. I am so thankful that his schedule is flexible and when he's working lots of hours he can take off some time. We're planning a trip to WinCo tomorrow. You know me and my deals, WinCo is an amazing grocery store with the best prices. It's worth the 30 minute drive for sure. Plus, we've found there's a Papa John's pizza. We haven't had really good pizza since we got here so we're happy for that.
We head to Florida a month from tomorrow. We can hardly wait to see everybody. Isaac has developed such a personality lately and LOVES to be the center of attention which I'm sure he will be the center of attention for 7 days straight. I'm just happy Mom has a pool now because he loves the water and never wants to get out. I think I might put his little pool up this afternoon and let him play when he gets up from him nap.

Here are some pictures to catch you up on the last week or so....

I found him this way after his nap








Fun Day with the kids from church at the River






Oh Daddy has a sandwich and I want it.


I will get it.


He kept staring and reaching so I gave it to him. He just licked it mostly.







King of the Duckies during bath time.

He favors the pirate ducky.




He stands at the tub and bounces up and down he gets so excited for a bath. This was right after his 6 month shots and he somehow got the band aids off himself.




Froggy butt!


Swinging at the park....another Fun Day for the kids at church.




He drinks out of a sippy cup now. He thinks he's big.


I'm finally big enough to wear these overalls Nana made.

4th of July

So we went to a picnic today with lots of friends from church for a 4th of July celebration!
Isaac got to swim in the pool for the first time and the water lover that he is, he enjoyed himself thoroughly! We had amazing ribs for dinner! Now we are sitting here relaxing after sitting in the sun in the 105 degree heat wondering if the fireworks are going to wake up the little man.











We also celebrated my birthday! I'll be 30 on Monday. How did this happen?

Oh he grows up

It's almost Isaac's six month birthday, can you believe it? This week he has mastered the art of rolling over and over and over and over. I am not exaggerating. I lay him in the bed and hear him talking a few minutes later, he's rolled over. He doesn't want to nap or sleep at night because he thinks it's fun to roll over.
Tonight I heard him cry and went to check on him and he was laying on his back with his feet propped up on the bumper pads with his hands behind his head just laughing and eating his blanket. Oh he's just so funny. Here's a pictures after he conked out from sheer exhaustion today.



I've found a new use for the high chair since he's not quite big enough to eat it in. He likes to sit in it and play while I clean up.






Hey Daddy, look at this.

Big smile for Daddy!
