Sweet Face!

Okay....he's just too cute!

Isaac

I took a picture this morning out in the yard and thought it turned out pretty cute! Elva knitted this hat for him as a newborn, and it fits him perfect now! So here are some of Isaac's milestones at 6 months

-he is still smiley and happy as ever
-he really loves his mom
-he is eating rice cereal, fruits and veggies (and LOVES every bite!)
-still loves the dog and giggles everytime he comes around
-had his first ear infection
-sits up really well and plays with toys
-LOVES the Johnny Jump Up
-19lbs and 28 inches long
-everyone loves and comments on his big BROWN eyes
-not a super napper, but is more of a "cat nap" type
-enjoys hugs and kisses from his siblings

We can't believe you are growing up so fast! Where has our little baby gone! You have been such a joy and a wonderful baby.

Love,
Mom

The ZOO

My cousin came down for a visit and we were able to make a wonderful trip to the zoo. There are a ton of new babies born this past summer, so there are a lot of fun things to see. Our family loves going to the zoo and we get a pass each year! The weather was perfect, almost 70 degrees! Audra and I were able to visit amoungst chasing and keeping track of our own animals.

Mini Cheer

Early in the school year Maya was able to participate in Mini Cheer! Marissa (our beloved babysitter) is a Cheerleader at the high school and invited Maya to attend. They learned a really cute dance and a cheer. Maya did very well at learning all the steps. We all were really proud of her. The entire family came to watch her perform and she did AWESOME!!!! We have found that she does not shy away from crowds and she can really be a performer!!

FYI- the shirt Connor is wear was Ryan's when he was a kid! Totally 80's!!

Make up

"Mommy I am ready for Uncle Mike's wedding!! I put my make up on all by myself!"

"Wow Maya! You look beautiful, but we need to have a bath before we leave."

Comment in the bath...."NOOOOOO Mommy!!! You are washing off my beautiful makeup!"

"What's up Mom?"

"He likes it! He really likes it!"

Summer Family Picture

Usually we try to vacation once a summer. It is a tradition in our family that where ever we go we buy a picture frame from our destination and then we take a family picture together to put inside. Here is us at the Oregon Coast. This is a cape near Tillamook. (YUMMY!!)

Right now things are really busy. Mike has moved out and is getting married Friday, so hopefully I can update the blog when things slow down.
