Isaac reads to Allie

This makes my heart melt! This is really what makes all the long nights and naptime struggles more than worth it. The first time I caught him reading to Allie she is was in her swing. He stopped it from swinging and held the book in front of her. He turned the pages while speaking jibberish. She was smilling a huge smile and loving every second. To see him love her like that when he was jealous is so truly touching. I have been unbelievably happy. I have such a good and blessed life. We love our Izzy-Pie and Tater Tot.

Daddy's turn to watch Allie We especially love that she has a shirt that says "I love Daddy" and he has a surf shirt.
Isaac learned how to turn on/off the radio. He loves dancing and listening to the songs.

Even Allie liked the music. She would smile real big when it played and look around confused when it turned out.
A cute 4 year old girl came to our house and taught Isaac to jump off the couch. Jonathan -being the fun one-grabbed matresses and they (Isaac, Audry (4) and Jane (2)) had a trampoline party. I should have gotten a video of them all together. They were laughing and jumping on eachother. Probably the most fun conference session they will ever have. It was a great weekend. The Coltons and Dave and Crystal and their kids came to our house on Saturday for conference and then we watched it at there house on Sunday. It was exciting to have people over and host a big breakfast. We went to the park between sessions. We go to the park by our house quite often and Isaac loves it. I have been going to the library for reading time and the park for play group. It is lots of fun. Isaac is learning to interact with other children and participate in activities. I also made friends with someone at our church who lives next to the park. She is really fun and its great to have someone nearby. People have been driving me to the activities and we have been blessed to have so many kind people and friends nearby. Joey's wedding is next weekend!

Jonathan's Birthday! We had a party with Jonathan's family and it went quite well! We hurried to get the house done in time and although we still have several projects left we are happy with it! We did breakfast for dinner while the boys watched football and the ladies chatted. Life has been pretty fun. The weather has finally been great and we've been taking Isaac to the Park. A friend of mine from the ward takes Isaac and Allie and I to the Library story time, playgroup and the park. It is so fun and I'm happy for Isaac to get to interact with other kids while his mom is around. He is really fun. He's learning more words and he loves to flip light switches on and off. We're going to Joey's wedding at the end of the month and we are so excited to meet Cami and see them so happy in love.

Allie Says Hi

Allie says Hi. It is pretty amazing. She even changes it to Hey when you say hey. She is very smart. She is very happy baby. She loves to smile at Isaac but he gives her the stink eye. We've all been sick latley especially Jonathan and Isaac. I think we're starting to get better.

Getting Settled

Things are going quite well, we've settled everything with our apartment, we've painted our 2nd living area and kitchen and we've been able to set up faster than Isaac can tear apart (quite the challenge). The Pictures below show how Isaac likes to get into things. We have to make sure and put the ladders down becuase he learned to move the ladders, climb up the rungs and get into things. He has learned to open the laptop and is a great typer. He got into silverwear drawer and made a mess. He didn't cover his tracks very well - he left part of a PB&J sandwhich as his signiture. He helped me cook as a mentioned before and thats when it gets fun. We hung out with the Colton's and had a picnic at the playground by our house for labor day. It was great fun. Bruce and Katie were in town and Dave and Crystal came with their three daughters as well. We had great food and played with water balloons (Jonathan threw it the farthest by far!), and enjoyed eachothers company. Isaac played in the pool and on the playground. Jonathan made Isaac a water slide - he hated it - mostly because it ended in a bucket of water. But he loved the bucket full of water balloons and he played in there a long time. Pictures to follow

ps. Isaac put that bow on Allie's head in the first video. Its a video of Isaac dancing I didn't realize she was in it. :)
