It all ranks up there since I had not seen Isaac go potty yet. With it being Nana's birthday today we started out by celebrating.....Isaac gets to use his new big boy bedding! I got it all out..soo excited and changed his sheets to his new one. After taking lots of pictures we called Nana etc later in the day and told her the good new that Isaac went pee pee in the potty after him telling momma outside in the pool that he needed to go potty. WHAT A TREAT!! When dadda got home from work..Isaac said again..Dadda home..he gave Isaac a special treat...this car holder that you push in the car, push a button and the car pops out ..he loved it! What a big helper he is becoming and gaining lots of stickers and treats after 5 stickers.
Anyway...HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

Better late to blog then never...Chris and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary today...it stared rocky with me not feeling well at all and well i really wanted to feel well for our day..but it got better.
Our sweet neighbor Emily watched Isaac..he was asleep as we went out .... we have been tired/literally exhausted from all our festivities and probably should have planned something ahead of time knowing how this week would be but it ended wonderfully!! We went car shopping...here is my anniversary gift....a picture attached! yep...Isaac loved it! We got to bring home this Pilot to test drive for a few days and see how it fit our family...since then we have also tried the Honda Odyssey...we love it!

Wedding and much more!!!

Hi there! YES..you say where have you been? Well...I'm here just not blogging too much. I wanted to post some things before I forgot and then add pictures either when we find our cord to do it or people email us pictures from the wedding. Darrell and Ashley were adorable and soo happy. The wedding day was perfect beside the heat..anything besides the rain right?? Family started arriving last week on Wednesday...Isaac and I hung out with his great-grandparents on 18-19th and got some special time together before all the rest came to town. Isaac is such a ham and enjoyed every bit of atttention he got this past weekend and last week from family, pictures, smiles, laughing, CHEEEESEEE!!! ....later nights to sleep (which he did soooo good at)..etc. We are very proud of how great Isaac did the whole time. ...our cord to upload is missing and we are hoping to get emails soon from family with photos we can use for the blog...WE LOVED VISITING WITH EVERYONE!!!! Isaac was especiallly excited because his Nana took care of him the whole time of festivities so mommy and daddy could breath and relax..good call!!! she was amazing....THANKS AGAIN MOM!!
Today Chris's dad and stepmom left....we all had a great visit with them and hope to see them soon. We have some family leaving tomorrow and the last of the family leaves on Thursday. WHAT A WEEK BUT WAY FUN!!! Hope Ashley and Darrell are havinga blast on their honeymoon!!

2 to 3 words together.....ISAAC!!!

Isaac is amazing us today..for the first time he said...Dadda home....instead of when I say...Daddy's home he used to say...DADDAA!!!!!!!!!
Now he can't stop saying ,"Dadda Home"...just had to blog this moment for us to keep forever ..how precious!!
He is doing some other word combos..but I'm trying to update and my brain is off for the night.

Fun with the drums and Thomas!

Today has been great so far...it's 4:02pm and Isaac is still napping..praise the Lord!!! We went to visit with Thomas and his sweet mom Lee this am. The boys have so much in common and so do the mommies. Isaac and Thomas are almost exactly one month apart and his sister and Isaac's sister will be also....ironic? hummm i think it is the Lord helping us out with great friends ALL along the way. Chris and I met Lee and Jaime a while ago at a Family Life service and in my mind then I thought...we will be friends with them, missions trip..not sure but back in touch and now we are and the Dream Center made that happen...can't wait to share in awhile all the things we have in common with Thomas's parents...we look forward to many years growing together and making memories with this family..heaven sent! oh!! picture of Thomas helping Isaac with his drums...trying to upload now....ugh!

Gearing up for the Wedding!!

Hi there! Pictures to come as soon as I remember what has gone on the last few weeks. Nothing major just extreme heat for a prego mamma. I guess I have been a little dehydrated also because of the way I have been feeling. Today started off great as always..I do feel that Chris and I are connecting soooo well together--communication I guess. Chris is getting a whole bunch of Jesus time and that really helps both of us...the way we interact and appreciate each other. The past week I have wanted to sleep and do no much of anything. Feeling ok but not as great as before. OH!!!! Isaac and I got our wedding gear altered today....some photos of Isaac before we left with Christie and Caleb so kindly taking us...Isaac working on say CHEESE!!!

What a blessing!!! BABY SHOWER DAY!!

Huge blessing to have wonderful friends and family...thinking back to today and the shower that Ashley (my sister to be in 2 weeks) with tons of help from creative Darrell (maker of the diaper cake) and Candace (mom in love/law) We had a blast downtown from 2-4pm at T-Bonz upstairs...fun food and the cutiest decor ever!! one of my favorite parts was a Prayer Bouquet for baby Olivia-Ryan..Ashley had her camera so hope we can upload some soon for you to see.
We played scattergories with letters like...D..diaper...double points for diaper daddy...and BABYO...like bingo with the numbers that ashley numbered the gifts on each bag..so fun! THANKS AGAIN ASHLEY!! LOVED IT!!

Adopt -a -Block and running errands ...

What a scorcher again today!! Chris got up and went to adopt a block with our church and Isaac and I ran errands today. We had a great day. After we went shopping actually...ha!
We visited Daddy and the dream center crew at a cook-out they were doing on the street we help out. soooo fun! chris did most of the grilling and herded in all the kids around him..sooo great to see that!
Isaac danced at the music box ..and jumped with all the kids in the jump castle! we were all exhausted by Saturday night.

What a great helper Caleb is...

Yesterday and today Isaac and I watched Caleb for Mark and Christie. Christie finishes up school this week and we got to play with Caleb. Monday I decided to lay low and have the boys play and have a blast here at the house and Tuesday we ventured out the Children's Museum with Chris's mom ...only with her would i have taken both boys and me..prego!
We had a great time and hope to get back soon! Great investment for a membership!!
We saw 3 of our friends their Jennie and Jake, Brittan and her boys and Coach Chris with two girls I taught at PCA Mary-Catherine and Callie they will both be in 4th grade next year!! whew wee!!!

Cookout with friends!

Today was a hot one!! Saturday we decided to have a cook-out with our neighbors and loved every bit of it! Isaac, Ka-Ka and Abbie all had a blast.
