Unusual Visitors

Life with 3 kids is crazy....fun...you never know who might stop by.
We are fortunate that Buzz Lightyear stops by about once a day. He has some mad laser skills.

Woody will also stop by every now and then....but doesn't make such a regular appearance.

Then there is Little Miss. Sassypants, she stops by everyday...usually yelling at us all, but always making us smile.

Let's not forget about Cowboy Isaac. He usually runs around the house on his stick horse (not pictured here) yelling YEE HAW COWBOY. The cowboy hat has become a staple accessory for this little cowboys daily wardrobe.

Funny face Claire is here everyday and cracks us up! We have been trying to capture her faces on camera without much luck....here is one for your viewing enjoyment.

We can't forget about one of the BEST big sisters out there. Leila really is amazing. When we have made Isaac sad he goes to Leila for comfort...when I need a "babysitter" she is right there to help...I am so proud of Leila and her loving personality.

Happy Birthday Claire

I have been feeling like a total slacker when it comes to my blog. Rightfully so, I haven't posted regularly in about a year!! My main reason was the overwhelming stress of feeling like I need to catch up on everything...so I told myself that i would start with Claire's birthday and move forward, not stressing about the past 6 months that have been left out...so here we go.





Claire turned 1 on March 11th. Can't believe it!

Umm, what to say about Claire. She makes the funniest faces, she will just walk around the house exploring and happy with her independence. She loves to be outside, she has a fear of men (just like Leila did, but not as bad) and she has a dang cute smile.

She wanted to attack her ladybug cake.

I don't have her "stats" because she hasn't been to the doc for her 1 year check yet, but she is tall and skinny! This is Claire at 2 days old.

In her short little life Claire has been through the ringer...she has had E.Coli, strep throat (not a big deal, but you shouldn't get it that young) and her tonsils out. She is doing great now!

Love you Claire, can't wait to see all that you learn this year!!!

2 baldies

Brian's school held a fundraiser and he was the prize. During an assembly they passed around a bucket and the side that raised the most money got to shave Brian's head. He loved it at first, but is ready to have his hair back.


And the little girl...well, she is just cute!

Pineview

We had a great time in Pineview with my family.

Rockin' Bedroom

Brian and I were inspired to do some decorating this summer. What do you think of our new bedroom??? We love it!

Yes...that is a fabulous chandelier!

Happy Birthday Little Man

Isaac turned 2 on June 10th. He is such a handsome little boy. A few things about Isaac at 2:
*He is in the 70% for height, 50% for weight and the 25% for head size.
*His speech is getting better, he likes to say "me" especially when asked, "Who wants to...."
*He loves to hold Claire and calls her "baby"
*He is always very concerned when someone is crying/ hurt.
*If he gets hurt all it takes it a little kiss on the injury and we are good to go.
*He LOVES Elmo, Blues Clues, Thomas the Train and Curious George. He would love Yo Gabba Gabba if we allowed it in our house.
*He plays with his train table a lot.
*He isn't really fond of the sprinklers.
*He loves hanging out with the boys. If he wants to go somewhere he will take your hand and pull you there....he does this ALL day long.

Isaac the day he was born.
Isaac at 1.....eating his birthday cake.
Isaac at 2...it is kind of hard to get him to smile at the camera, but this one was pretty cute.


Love you buddy, more pics of the party to come.
