Old school

This brings back memories. The prizes are the best!!

world traveler

As of last Friday, Isaac and I are going to....LONDON!!! I'm still in shock over the quick decision making, but the plane tickets were cheap and we need a vacation. We are super excited, but just wish daddy could come too!

Daredevil

I'm not referring to Isaac...I'm referring to Grandpa. This is what he does when I'm not around. Then he asks his partner in crime, Grandma, to document it! At least they had fun.

Sit

Isaac is almost as good at sitting as Sophie. He's just growing up and learning how to do things SO fast!

Can't a guy get some pizza??

Isaac is totally obsessed with watching us eat. Check it out for yourself:

Older than the dirt in his garden

We threw my uncle Wayne a surprise 55th birthday party last weekend. After reading about many fabulous parties in the blog world, I was inspired to stick with a theme {Wayne is older than the dirt in his garden = Flowers in empty beans/peas/etc. cans; dirt cups; everyone brings garden-oriented gift}. It was all about garden stuff and I think everyone had a good time. Wayne was totally surprised. I kind of want to throw another party now! :) Here are some highlights:


Please notice the pendant banner that I made!! :) I'm proud of it, can you tell???

I'm a fan

...Of this dinnerware line from CB2. Seriously cute, and on sale! Now, how do I convince myself that "cute" is a good enough reason to justify a purchase?

5 Months

Our little guy is growing up so fast. I can't believe how quickly 5 months passes by.


Currently, Isaac is:
1. Fussy due to what we think is teething {I'll let you know when that sucker finally comes through!}
2. Grabbing at everything {which means pulling hair, glasses, touching his books while we read, etc.}
3. Watching us eat intently
4. Lifting his head up while he's laying down
5. Working on mastering his tri-pod sit
6. Laughing out loud
7. Hugging!!
8. Sporting some awesome rooster tails on his head as his hair grows! {see below, look closely!}

Mush, Sophie, Mush!

It was so gorgeous outside today that I decided to take the kids for a walk. I think Sophie forgot that she's supposed to be a dainty pomeranian that walks right along-side the stroller. Instead, she tugged and pulled, and basically gave Isaac the walk for me. All I had to do was follow behind! Next up...Iditarod!! Mush, Mush!

P.S. We're so dangerous, we walk down the middle of the street!! Actually, Sophie's so careless...it's her fault!

Book buggy

I kind of like this weird-looking book and toy buggy. I think I'm drawn to the antique, yet weird modern twist that it has. Blake thinks it is ugly so won't let me ever get it for Isaac. Not even when Isaac reads this post someday and begs me for it. Boo...hiss.....


P.S. Sorry I've been absent. Work and musical keep me busy, and it's been entirely too nice outside to spend time at my computer! ;-) Plus, we're flooded with orders for Pocket Sophies, so we're trying to get those out ASAP!
