We having another Baby! We are very excited! The baby is coming next march. We both feel like its a girl so I'll probably call her 'she' even though we won't know for a while. I am very sick so I may not post for a few months. Any time i feel well enough to sit up I need to be productive. Poor Isaac wants his mama back. My very good friend took Isaac for the day today. i am so grateful that he can go play with his friends insted of watching movies all day. I was wondering what I was going to do when she came over with lunch and took Isaac. That is a good friend.
Isaac hit his head on the hymn book holder and church so Jonathan took him home and shaved all his hair off to care for the wound. My friend said he looked like one of those 4 year old emperors in asia. I thought he looked like Avatar the Last airbender so I drew an arrow on his head. Its pretty funny. He has become really good friends with Allie since his mama is out of commision.
Allie loves to bable. She has been nice and snuggly and I love it. She loves sick mama because Allie likes it when I stay in one spot. I just lay there or even fall asleep and she plays around me. Although she doesn't like it when she's hungry or wants me to carry her. I made her some pretty butterflies for her room. It looks great hanging up but I'm to sick to take a picture right now.
Jonathan is working like crazy. He's almost done with the patio and he's clearing the weeds and stumps from our front yard shrubbery. It is looking so much better! I am very happy about it.
Hopefully I'll fell better soon but if not, I'll post again in a few months!

The Youth Performance and Youth Conference I was helping with was awesome! Their performance was great. Lots of singing and dancing and you could tell they were having a great time. After it was all over they had a testimony meeting that I went to and it was so great to hear about how much they loved the weekend and now they have a stronger testimony of Jesus Christ and the church. It was fantastic. I loved it. And people at church were so good to us and to thank us for all our work gave us gift cards and free babysitting. So we went on a Date to the theater last weekend and went out to eat at Five Elements Bar and Grill and then went out for Ice cream. It was really fun. I am grateful people were so generous and thoughtful and we had a lot of fun. Isaac is so smart and I am loving it. Today he helped me make dinner and set the table. Although one plate did end up in the transh can - at least it was his. : ) He has suprised me as we go places and he points to the fruit and names them or points to the monkey and says, "ee ee ooh oh" He even knows a lot of letters. He has been very sweet to Allie too. Sharing and feeding her and playing with her. Jonathan challenged us to never get angry and always speak kindly. You can be stern but not upset. We're obviously not perfect but am Loving the results. I am sooo happy and a lot less stressed. Isaac fits have gone down and he is sweeter. Allie only walks now and is really attached to me. My new trick is to pick her up and stand so boringly that she wants down. She is allowed to grow up now because we are having another baby! We are due next March. We have been busy with appointments but make sure to still swim at least every other day. It is sooo hot! But I love swimming so I"m okay with it. Our sweet patio helps keep us nice and cool inside for less! We are doing great. Our kids are cute as ever and we love them more each day!

I may have taken a few too many pictures this weekend. : ) Allie is one year old! Go Allie! She hasn't had the best turning of age with 4 shots, her blood drawn and a 3 day long fever, but she did have a great weekend! Her Birthday party was great. We got in the pool and fired up the grill and watched Tangled. The boys had a video game bonanza. It was lots of fun and the food was great. We were going to throw another party on Forth of July but conveniently someone else threw a party and invited all the same people so we all decided to go there insted (they weren't as the same time but I was glad for the excuse not to host or buy food for another party.) They had chicken and stake fajitas a big pool and a playground in their backyard. It was awesome. We all had fun but especially Isaac. He played with 2 boys his age and they had non-stop fun on the playground. We went to a flag raising in the morning and Isaac was in the bike Parade. He was in Heaven. Riding his red BMW all around the parking lot instead of the living room. Then we went to a morning pool party and then the pool party I just mentioned. We had the best day. Isaac loved it the most.
Potty training is going well, he's been able to keep a clean diaper in the morning time. He knows a lot more objects then I thought. He doesn't always respond when we work on things with him but then he knows what they are later. I guess its sinking in!
Allie is a great walker. She can walk the whole length of the room and turn around. She still chooses to crawl most of the time. She says more words and I think she knows who her Dada is. Something we're still working on with Isaac. He now calls us "MamaDada" or "honey" because were were always correcting him.
Jonathan fixed our car (the civic)! He bought an online part and fixed it himself saving us lots of money! I am so proud of him. And grateful that he is so smart and hardworking.
Life is still fantastic. I love having the van and doing so much swimming. The kids have been healthy and happy. Isaac doesn't throw such big fits anymore. He loves spending so much time outside and having fun with his friends. Learning to interact with the other little kids has been great for him.
