Things have been crazy latley. Isaac is improving his fit throwing skills with lots of practice. He is also getting very good at understanding and talking. It is such a relief when I can tell him to wait until we get home or that I am getting him a snack. Althought it is a little embarassing when I'm talking him out of church and he yells, "BE NICE!!!!" Gotta love Isaac. He said his first prayer. "Please Food. Please Food. Please Food." Jonathan has been working so hard on the patio! He just has to put the roof on now! I am so happy about how well he has done!. He is also finding names to add to his family tree. He has made a lot of progress there as well. I am proud of him. Allie can take a few steps. She is mostly crawling.I am enjoying her still being my little baby. The weather hasn't gotten too hot yet so we have been spending lots of time outside. At the park and in the backyard. We bought a lot of stuff at the dollar store for summer fun. Isaac is loving his bat. He LOVES to play baseball. When Jonathan first taught him anything was the bat and Allie and my heads were the ball. He seems to have let that go and will play with his real bat and ball. He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He says, "Mou! Mou!" Life is going well. I've been a bit stressed with all of Isaac's fit throwing but having lots of fun at the park and spending time with my friends. Katie Colton made that cute bow Allie's wearing when we had craft night. oh ya, Isaac and Jonathan had their very first Father and Son campout! It was great! I wasn't there but they had hot dogs and smores and Isaac played with another 2 year old who said Isaac was his best friend! I had a great mother's day. Jonathan made me a very special breakfast and i got a new shirt. Yay for Summer

Building a Patio Cover!

We're Building a patio cover! Jonathan is doing most of the work but you can see that Isaac and Allie are great helpers! And I have helped with the staining! Jonathan dug 3ft deep holes. Then made 400 lb cement cylinders and then put the posts up and support beams and dragon joists. (a funny name we call the braces). He has been working so hard day and night. I wake up to him working on the patio and sometimes go to sleep to him working on it. And he spent his whole day off working on it too. He's so wonderful! He plans on making it really cool looking. Thank you Jonathan!
OH ya, and the onions are just growing in a patch in our yard! I feel like a gardener!

Happy Easter

Messes!

With Jonathan working on the Patio the kids have been inside and they are making lots of messes. Allie reached up and stole Isaacs sandwhich he was eating in his high chair. He was soooo mad. It was halarious. She found his yogurt and dumped it. Isaac loves putting stuff in the toilet. They have each taken a turn playing in the fireplace ashes. Allie can now pull herself up onto furniture so she pulled herself up on the fireplace ledge and started playing in the ashes! She's getting to old!!! She took her first step! My little baby! She mostly crawls but she likes to practice along things. Isaac can talk pretty well. He climbed up on the changing table while i wasn't around and I heard him yelling, "help momma! Down! Mama! Mama! Help! Down!" So cute! He is very well behaves. They now both go to bed by 9 and we have the evening to get things done and relax.
We have had a heep of huge blessings! Our AC went out and Jonathan's Dad's friend who is an AC Repair man fixed it for us. Then our Garbage Disposal went out and Jonathan's dad fixed it for us! Then Isaac threw our TV remote in the kiddie pool and Verizon is replacing it for free! We are so grateful! We got Allie a few dresses at the Dollar store, thats where we got the cute white one is the purple flowers and my dear friend Marta - who is feeling much better! - gave us her daughters old cloths. And gave us her sons old cloths for Isaac. Things are going great at the Ramos'!

Birthdays and Sickdays!

It was my birthday! It was fantastic. Jonathan took me to Outback and to see Tron Legacy in 3D. Then on Monday he pretended to go to work and then knocked on the door with Cake and balloons and streamers ect. He had the day off and didn't tell me. It was a great day! My parents got me the curtains that I posted a picture of. I love them and and they make the whole room look better. The kids have been so easy to put to bed the last couple of days. Isaac loves going to bed on a mattress instead of his crib. Allie has gone from hating to sleep and being up until 11 to giving in easily and wanting to go to bed. I just put her in her crib around 9pm and she cries for 90 seconds and goes to sleep. This has been such a relief after the monster 2 weeks where they were sick and daylight savings through us all off. They just felt miserable and we were up with them until 11 or midnight with crying kids. I posted a video of how sick poor Izzy Pie was. I took the video because I was scared of how he was acting and wanting Jonathan's opinion if I should take him to the hospital. I ended up giving him a nap, he was really tired. And then his fever got to 102.7 and I got really scared but he knocked it down and he got some rest and we took them both to the Dr the next morning. Allie is now on a nebulizer and they both took lots of medicine and are doing much better. When I found out they were both so sick and each had an ear infection I was glad I had decided to be patient with them staying up so late.
Its gotten pretty hot in Texas so we're figuring out ways to keep the house cooler besides running the AC. So our next home project is a Patio cover! The hottest place in the house - hands down - is by the back sliding glass door and big window where the sun hits when its setting. It sets right into the kitchen where I"m running the Dishwasher and oven. So we're building a patio cover so that it hits that instead of our windows. And it will be fun to have in the summer for me to sit under while the kids are playing in the kiddie pool. All you can do in the summer is swim because its sooo hot! Jonathan's been drawing up the plans and we're pretty excited about it. That side bathroom just keeps getting pushed back : )
My dear friend was in the hospital last week. My friend Marta that I go to the library with on Wednesday. She had heart failure and they had to revive her 3x. So I've been helping out with their kids and praying for them. They sent her home on Saturday and still don't know why it all happened. We are grateful she's doing somewhat better. God has answered our prayers over and over and we are so happy.

The weather has been beautiful! I love having Isaac play in the backyard. Allie had her first bath without me in there with her. She crawled into my closet and opening a jar of green beans baby food. I'm not sure how she did that! So I gave her a bath. And then after she had so much fun when she saw Isaac in the tub she struggled so hard to get there herself. So they had their first bath time party. I got really excited about it. Jonathan and I are really excited for March Madness. I love competing in the brackets together. Isaac has been having a really hard time. I think he is sick, he's been really tired. Overall we're doing great! Bruce and Katie were in town this last week and it was so fun! We played Frisbee golf and made crafts and played games and had such a great time. Isaac is really learning to talk. He's doing such a great job with phrases and pronunciation. We're so proud of our little ones
