1st Haircut

Justin gave Isaac his first real haircut. I thought there would be just a few snip snips. It turned into a complete shave. It took awhile to get used to, he looked like a completely different little man. He did great. Didn't cry, didn't move much, and didn't even get a sucker after it was over. He was enthralled with the squirt bottle.

Pre cut. J was about to sneeze.

Post cut.

In the meantime, Olivia decided to cut Kelly's hair. I found her before it was too late. There was only one snip.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISAAC!

Friday January 29 was Isaac's birthday, but since both kids were sick, and it snowed, we postponed the party till Sunday....although the kids were still not 100%. After Mondays doctor appointment, we found out Isaac had an ear infection. He was a super trooper for the party.

Grandma Clown visited.

Here's the cake I made him. He likes to point out dogs everytime he sees one. And he likes th dalmation dogs in his room. I know....I know... I missed smoothing out 2 dots. Darn.

Just finished singing Happy Birthday.

He didn't have much expression until the toys came.

Not bad for the final mess. He didn't really eat much. I guess he was too sick??

Opening presents. He loved all of them, except for the bath towel and shirts. G&G and our neighbors came over to celebrate with us.

Olivia was all over helping him open his presents.
Adorable.

We took a few shots of him on his actual birthday.

This laugh cracked me up!

Blurry. But you get the effect of how excited he was! Plus, I think I see a little beaver in him...or is that bunny?

Another Snow Day

Isaac and Olivia have been fighting sickness all week, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to play in the snow. Isaac was out about 2 minutes and he was ready to come back in. He and I watched from the kitchen window.

Olivia was happy to have her own pair of mittens this time.
These pics weren't from the snow, but I thought they were funny.
"Show me what to do, Olivia."
"Oh, I can do that!"

bazillion pictures

Here's a few pictures over the last month.

In no particular order what so ever...

Olivia cleaning.

Christmas at Grandma & Grandpa's house.

I just can't seem to squeeze him enough.

The excitement over a bubble! It's contagious.

Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Isaac is starting to get the hang of how to play with Luci.

They were laughing so much with each other. I think they are friends!

Isaac LOVES these little people. He takes them all over the place with him and has even taken a nap with one in his hand (whoops). He's such a handsome little guy.

Isaac has taken on a few household chores.

Olivia taking her dog on a walk.

Not sure if this was a happy face or get-it-off face.

Christmas morning at our house.

They got a new kitchen after Christmas....you know when everything goes on clearance....and it was the best purchase ever! BOTH play all the time. Restaurant, picnics, parties, dishes, give the dog a bath, etc.

One of her picnics...

More chores.

We had Christmas with Aunt Tara and Uncle Will in Germany! We used Skype at G&G's house. Olivia showed them each present she opened. Reach...

No computer

So we haven't had our computer for about a month, but I found these pictures in a draft that I apparently started before Christmas. Maybe sometime I'll update with more pictures once we get our computer back from the shop. It's speedy service I tell ya.

Olivia has a new favorite. Washing windows.

Family Band. J on the sax. O on the kazoo. I on the spoons. Music to my ears!
Here's cake #1. And this is what Luci did to it.

Here's cake #2. We ate it on Christmas. Not all of it.

Decorating our first gingerbread house. Sure liked the pre-made-everything. All in one box...although the taste was close to box taste too. I don't think Olivia noticed.

We made marshmellow snowmen. Turned into a snowman village. It was fun for a day. They got pretty hard and Isaac wanted to keep eating them.

Look for more postings soon.....once we get our computer back!

SNOW

It snowed last weekend! It was only for the morning (melted by 3pm), but it doesn't matter because I love snow! Here's a few pictures.

We made snow angels! Justin had to help.

We made snowballs!
And check out the vertical on Luci! She LOVES catching snowballs in her mouth.

Here's proof of how good she is!

Isaac stayed inside and slept. I wanted to stay out as long as we could and Isaac did not have the appropriate snow attire for an hours time. If it snows again, then he'll get to play too!

Cooking 102 (Katie) and a Cool Ride

Who knew that a bag of peas would melt on the stove after you turn the burner on!!! WHOOPS! I managed to save 1/2 the bag, and Luci enjoyed some too.

Here's one smart cookie. What a ride!
