Best Buds!

Isaac is such a lucky boy! He has lots of buddies, however
his favorite buddy is Simba! They play together ALL day!
It's so cute to watch them interact. It's great for me too
since it keeps Isaac entertained and occupied while I need
to get stuff done during the day. I call Simba my little
helper and babysitter when it comes to watching Isaac!
She is so good with him! Such a great doggie!!!


Isaac and his best-doggie, Simba!
Such a sweet picture of my babies!!!


Isaac LOVES to wrestle with Simba and she lets him!
Thank goodness we have such a good doggie!

Isaac hugs doggie! He LOVES giving hugs!!!


Isaac's best-buddy, Jacob, came over with another present!!!
He also offered to help Isaac open it!

Isaac's new ball pit! He LOVES balls!!!

The boys had sooooo much fun playing in the ball pit!

Those balls are all over our house!!! :-)

Isaac pushes the button, while the boys go for a ride on the ATV!

Park date with Mama!

Isaac and I enjoy lots of fun playtime during the day,
however on ocassion, he gets really restless and bored being at
the house. The best solution for that is going outside,
especially the park! On this day, he and I shared a Happy Meal
(shhhhh. . . don't tell Papa!) and had sooooooo much fun
playing, running around, and swinging!

On top of all that fun, Isaac was also the most popular
kiddo on the playground that day. I brought his new ATV with us
and the other children at the playground that were around
his age, took turns driving the ATV around the park! It was so
cute to watch the kids playing with Isaac and enjoying the ATV.
The parents were all so nice and said that Santa might just have
to bring their kids an ATV too! Such a fun day!!!


Isaac playing tic-tac-toe!

Come on, Mama! Quit taking pictures
and let's go play!!!

He was so careful at first as he got
familiar with the ramp . . . then once he was comfortable, he
would run down as fast as he could!

Isaac LOVES to swing!!!

Such a happy boy!


LOVE that smile!!!

LOVE my park play dates with my son!!!

Fun day with the Haver Family!!!

We went to visit my godson, Scott, and his family! I used
to babysit his older brother, Thomas, when he was Isaac's
age! It's been so fun watching these boys grow up.
Isaac has so much fun when he is
around them. They are soooooo good and sweet with him.
Every time I hang out with them, I realize that I
would be fine having all boys! Boys are so much fun!!!


Jas, Isaac, Scott, Thomas, Steven, and me!

Isaac with Kim!

My godson, Scott, helps Isaac open a present!

Steven, the youngest of the boys, helps
Isaac open another present! So cute!!!

The boys with the stockings I made!



I LOVE this picture of Isaac and my godson, Scott!!!

Craft Night with Annie!


I LOVE crafts and I'm so happy my best-friend, Annie,
does too! Her and I spent a fun night making lots of
fun goodies for the special kiddos in our lives!
It's ALWAYS a great time with that girl!!!



Annie and I show off and compare our
reindeer candy canes that we made!
Shhh, mine were the BEST!!! HeeHee!!! :-)


All the wonderful goodies we made! The kids
are going to LOVE their stockings!!!

The adorable reindeer candy canes we made!

I used those to put inside mugs filled with chocolates!

They didn't have stockings before, but now they do!!!

Such A Fun Day!!!

We went to the park so Isaac could use his new bike and ATV! Now that he is getting older, he LOVES being outside and now that he has these fun toys, we will probably spend more and more time outdoors!


Isaac with his Papa!

Faster Papa. . .faster!!!

Isaac's ATV goes 2mph and he was having so much fun driving it all over the park! It's the perfect toy for an active boy at his age!
Makes us want to get our own ATV's!

Such a boy . . . already trying to pop-wheelies!
Oh boy!!!

Hmmmmm, where can I go explore next???

Isaac playing with his best-doggie, Simba!
They are such good buddies!

Having fun wrestling with Papa!

We went to a Christmas party and they had
such a fun activity for the kids. . .making Gingerbread houses!

Isaac and his new girlfriend, Cindy.
She helped him put his first ginger-bread house together!

Isaac did so well decorating his ginger-bread house!
He is such a creative little dude! Must get that from his Mama! :-)

Jas and I were so surprised he sat the entire time with
Cindy and decorated his ginger-bread house! He was having
so much fun! Or perhaps he just liked sitting on her lap!!!
He likes the ladies! :-)

Isaac's first ginger-bread house!
He did such a great job and Cindy was so
wonderful with him! What a fun time!

Special delivery for Mr. Isaac!

Isaac's own drum set!

He LOVES it! He immediately sat on the stool
and started banging on the drums. Think he might have
been a drummer in a previous life! HeeHee! :-)

Our little rock star!

Having soooooooo much fun!

Thank you, Jenal! We send lots of hugs and kisses!


Celebrating Our Family Christmas Early!

We will be leaving to see our family and
friends in the Midwest soon, so we decided
to celebrate our family Christmas early this year!
It is our son's 2nd Christmas and it was extra
fun seeing the excitement in his eyes as he opened his presents.
Christmas is such a special time, especially as we celebrate the
birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is our favorite time
of year. It fills our hearts with such joy, love and excitement!
Our children certainly have a way of doing that to us!!!

The presents under our Christmas tree.

Such a big boy on his new bike!
