Random Christmas Pictures/Santa

Here comes Santa....

......well, Isaac decided it would be better to hide from him.

.....oh my he is just right around that corner, I know he is!

He finally got brave enough and gave it a shot, just wouldn't give me a smile!

All 3 of the kids hanging with Santa. That is the best picture we got of Molly. She was not in the least bit excited to see Santa.

Molly and Abby telling their wish lists.....well maybe just Abby.

I think for the 1st year ever Abby was not scared to sit on Santa's lap.

******************************

Just some radom pictures I took of Isaac around Chirstmas time. Santa came to Blackwater too, so we went and paid him a visit. He was too scared of Santa just didn't like sitting on his lap. He woudl much rather just give him a five and run off!! Enjoy!

Ha, he looks scared, I think he was getting ready to bolt away!

Of course he won't look at the camera....!

Classic!

It is very hard to take a self portrait with a wiggly child in your lap!!

Birthday Boy

Wow, where has the time gone. Back on the 21st of December we celebrated Isaac's birthday. So hard to believe that my baby boy is 2. Growing so much and always keeping busy. He is talking up a storm and really getting his very own personality. He is the highlight of my day, always welcoming me home from work with a smile and big hug. Happy Birthday sweet baby boy, Mommy loves you!!

Eating some left over Elmo cake. He thought the flame on the candle was funny!!

Opening presents from Mommy. Abby still not fair away to help out if need be. A big Elmo book, oh fun!!

Ah, yes, his favorite thing, a stick horse. He was so excited.

Giving it a quick try before back to see what else he got.
Peek-A-Boo Elmo says, can you see his eyes sticking out the top of the wrapping paper??

Oh say it isn't so, it is Elmo!!

Okay, now who is going to get this out for me?? Uncle, please, can you get it out? Of, course Uncle got him out. (note to self, Elmo is kind of loud and annoying....but oh well Isaac likes playing with him!)

Elmo even came to Isaac Birthday. He really wasn't that into standing by him. Abby helped to bribe him but he was too excited!

Isaac with all his Birthday presents. I think he needed a few more, oops!! Oh well, he has enjoyed playing with all of them. Notice the pig with piglets.....Isaac's great Grandma Bonen made that and gave it to cousin Troy some years ago and they gave it to Isaac to enjoy. It is so cute, the piglets snap on to the Momma to eat.

******************

Just a little update on how big Isaac is. At his 2 year checkup he came in at 36 pounds and 37 3/4 inches tall. If you double that height he will approximatly be 6'3" full grown give or take a few. Oh my goodness he is definatly going to be a BIG BOY! He is currently wearing size 10 shoe and is fully in 3T clothes some 4T. He has made the transition to a twin size bed, no more baby bed. It was sadder for Mommy than him. He did very well, sleeps in it like a champ!! Has absolutly NO interest in potty training, I guess he will be ready some day...!!

Birthday Party

Isaac had a wonderful Birthday Pary. He was so excited to be in the center of attenstion. He wasn't too sure about the whole opening presents thing but Abby was close at hand to help out. Unfortunatly Molly wasn't able to join us because she was sick running a fever. So she had to stay home with her Daddy. Isaac got lots of new toys and had really enjoyed playing with them. We were finally able to get rid of some of the "baby" toys that he was out growing.

Abby close by the help out in any way possible!! She is quit the trooper!

Really getting into opening presents. He is looking at the coolest book ever, it is a scanimation book called Waddle. When you move each page the picture goes into motion. Way cooler than how I am explaining it. Check it out here.

His Elmo birthday shirt that Mema made for him. Elmo is proudly sporting the number 2. Isaac always wants to wear "my elmo" shirt!!!

Giving his best shot at riding his tricyle. PaPa and MeMa got it for him. He was so excited he couldn't hardly handle it. Look how serious he is in the pciture. It is still a little big for him but I think by this summer he will be able to pedal it. He already has it figured out, just can't quit touch the pedals. I am sure that tricyle will make plenty of round around the driveway!!! Can't wait for some spring like weather!!!!!

Isaac posing with his Elmo cake. It didn't turn out too bad considering it was my first one. I will defantly never make a cake decorator!

Actually caught Isaac blowing out his candle. I bet I couldn't do that again!! More pictures to come from his actual birthday, Christmas, and other fun happenings in our 'lil family.

Trip Down Memory Lane...Isaac's 1st Year of Life

As I sit here, it is so hard to beleive that my little boy is 2. Where have those 2 years gone? They are still so visible and the memories will last a lifetime. My precious "big" baby boy is growing bigger and taller everyday, I don't think he has slowed down one bit!! Hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane as much as I enjoyed looking at the pictures.

Hours old. (don't pay any attention to the date on the camera, I realized after taking a whole bunch of pictures that day that the camera had the wrong date. I am sure that will confuse some people much later in life!!!)


About 12 hours old. He was so long that his head touched the top of the crib thing and his feet when stretched out touched the bottom!!

2 Days old. Waiting to get released to go home.


2 Day old. About ready to make the trip home!

Stay tuned for many more pictures to come. I have a lot of updating to do. There are some pretty exciting events going on in the next couple of months. Can't wait to share!!!

............!!

Wow, where has the year 2009 went. So hard to believe that 2010 is just right around the corner. Looking back I have so much to be thankful for. It has been a very eventful year full of excitement, sadness, hurt, anxious, happy and everything in between. I hope everyone can take the time out of their busy schedules and think about the passing year. None of us know when our time is over, live each day to the fullest. Don't let the small things get you down, just pass them over and move on to bigger and better things!

I have many pictures of post of my sweet babies birthday party and Christmas. Hopefully with the day off on Friday I will be able to get those done. We had a WONDERFUL Christmas....white and all. Isaac had tons of fun opening presents but then wanted to play with each one immediately. Things are still in boxes as we have not had time to get everything out. My goal is to do that this evening. I don't think he will have any trouble having new things to play with.

I take this time to wish each and every one of you reading this (family, friends, and even those blog stalkers) a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! May the new year be bright and wonderful as we make our way into 2010. (Is it just me, or is it hard to believe it has been 10 years since Y2K) Wow, I remember that like it was yesterday:-)

Christmas Pictures

Even though getting pictures of 3 kiddos is quit the challenge we did get some pretty good ones. So hard to believe that this will be Isaac's 3rd Christmas. I am really looking forward to the holiday season and starting some special traditions with my little boy! Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Mr. Handsome

Cutie

Oh yes, all 3. The only "good" picture we got of all 3 kids in their church clothes. Thanks to MeMa for making their outfits. We think they are extra special!!


Abby and Molly showing off their matching dresses. Thanks MeMa!

Not knowing what to think about the sled. Not really wanting to smile at the camera either!

LOVE IT!!! Isaac checking something else out, Molly wishing he would get with the program!!!!

Abby and Molly getting ready for a sleigh ride together. Showing sisterly love!


In their matching shirts, thanks to Kohls. Kim was able to get Abby's in the store and ordered Molly and Isaac's online. Love Isaac's pose!

Time for bed. This was the ONLY picture we got with their Christmas PJ's. The kids were done for by this point. It was a miracle to get this one picture with them all looking down at the book. What is so hard about sitting still and smiling, if it were only that simple. After this picture we loaded the kids up in the car and MeMa took them home. Kim and I were able to pick our pictures out in peace and quiet, thank goodness!!!
