Fun Pics....

This kid loves any type of ball. This was back in December some time, but still it demonstrates how this kid loves to play.

This was taken at Snowbird, we were getting ready to go swimming and Jane and Susan pulled out this cute robe to put him in to go swimming.

This was just yesterday...as in February 18. He discovered how to open drawers and started pulling out all my stuff. I wanted to take more pictures of him in action, however, the kid is a "HAM!!!" and wants to have his picture taken. If he sees the camera he looks and smiles and then crawls straight for it.

I was able to catch this picture before he realized that I had the camera, even though it wasn't the shot I wanted. Before this he had the phone up to his ear.

This was a President's day family activity. We went up to the Gallivan Center and skated. Isaac had fun watching with Grandma Susan. And did you notice the matching jackets? That was a complete accident. Kory had his jacket before he met me and I had mine before I met him. And then when Grammy bought him this jacket I didn't even realize it was the same as ours.

This was also just a couple of days ago. This is a new thing that Isaac likes to do, stand on anything and everything so he can reach higher. Something that I have yet to get a picture of is him standing on my feet to try and get at my food. Oh and Isaac is hilarious. He is a stinking garbage disposal. He will eat anything and everything. And if you are eating and he is not, he comes up to you and opens his mouth and makes noise until you put something in it.

Helping with the groceries!

Grandma Helen gave him a huge dog for Christmas and it has become his new love. He cuddles right up to it with his blanket and goes to sleep. And usually in the mornings he is playing with the dog when we go in to get him.

Cute cousins! This was from our Arizona trip...we went down there to be with my family for New Years and it was so fun. Isaac was so cute with all the cousins. Also it was very interesting to see how Isaac reacted to other little kids. He started making more "ga, da, ma" noises after being with them, and he crawled a lot more and quicker. I miss my family! It was so fun to be with them!

Almost Isaac's favorite toy! Anytime, and I mean ANYTIME Kory puts his computer down, Isaac races for it. And in this instance, Kory left it on his chair and Isaac found it and started banging on it. I love this kid!

Christmas in February...

Okay, so I know I haven't posted anything in a while, and I apologize! The holidays got me all out of wack and then came the decision about whether to continue working or not....things in general have just kept me from even wanting to look at or type on a computer. So again, sorry. But I am going to post a lot of pictures so you can see how my little boy has been growing up in a hurry. SLOW DOWN!

This picture was taken at the Christmas/staff party at the school where I worked for a while. I had to get a picture with Santa since I didn't know if Isaac would get another chance. Everyone at the party said how cute Isaac looked and how much of a "ham" he is. Look at that kid! Smiling at the camera (sort of), he loved it! He was waving his arms and bouncing around.

This picture is actually from the present opening in Arizona...a little out of order, but this one demonstrates how fun he was when he was opening presents. He wasn't shy at all and really went after the paper. Of course we had to help him a little getting it all off, but he could rip it...

Here's our little man, this was after our ward party and he was very happy. His face has been taking a beating this winter though...with all the drool, the second we step outside it gets chapped. Poor kid!

This was Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Hunsaker's. Every Christmas Eve they read Luke 2 and this year we happened to have Isaac so they wanted to act out the Christmas story. So Kory and I got to be Joseph and Mary. It was fun and Isaac did a good job sitting still for a short time. And then, right on cue, as soon as it was over he started wailing. He was so tired.

Isaac Growing

Isaac surprised us one day by being up on his hands and knees like this. He started doing this around the first week in November. He would wiggle, squirm, and try so hard to get his knees up under his body. When he would finally succeed he would get upset because he couldn't go anywhere!

So why does he have socks on in the bath? Well I have this routine of laying him on the counter and getting him undressed while the water is running. I was in a hurry this time because he was crying and I knew he would stop once in the water. So I hurried him into the water only to realize I forgot to take off his socks. Of course I couldn't take them off without first taking a picture!

Not long after he got up on his hands and knees we began to find him like this, halfway underneath the couch. Need I say, so cute?!

This is a funny picture I know, but he just looks so grown up and adorable. How else do I explain it except that he seems like he should be an old man, relaxing on the couch?

Know what else? I really should do a better job of keeping up on these blog posts because I could probably tell you a lot more about the little details right after they happen instead of giving the watered down version.

Halloween in December

I know, I know, I have taken far too long to post a blog about Halloween. My computer is silly and has problems with transferring pictures from the camera...so I have to wait to use Kory's computer and blah blah blah. Excuses are lame.

On another note, Halloween was fun. Kory didn't feel well so I took Isaac to the neighbor's house and got a piece of candy and then took some pictures with our other neighbor. Addy looks cute in her little pumpkin outfit, but personally Isaac is the cutest ever! Our little monkey!

Don't worry, the wrapper was on the candy, he just likes putting everything in his mouth.

Fall Photo Shoot

Don't eat the leaves! I had to be really quick after taking this picture, getting the leaves away from his mouth.

He is so curious, I love watching him explore the world around him.

I had to orchestrate this one, grabbing a bunch of leaves and dropping them, but it was worth it.

SO cute.

Rice Cereal

I wish I new what he was thinking right here...

His sleeping habits have been a little off lately so I decided to try and start feeding him rice cereal. The kid might just be really hungry and that's why he keeps waking up. Anyway, he started sucking on the spoon, it was so cute. I turned the spoon upside down and he held onto it and sucked that cereal right off the spoon. It was dribbling down his chin but he seemed to like it.

CALIFORNIA

Grammy and Isaac at the beach. It was not the most beautiful day as far as sunshine goes, but it was nice to smell the ocean and feel the cool breeze. Something I don't get much of in Utah.

We stuck Isaac's feet in the water and he seemed to like it, after of course he let out a scream of terror because of how quickly it hit him and how cold it was...

Soccer in the backyard with Truman and Grammy. I was on the phone with Kory and my mom took Isaac to play and the next thing I know she's running around like the best Grandma ever! So cute, the little man loved it.

What can I say, the kid has it in his genes, he will be an athlete no matter what sport he plays.

Dane works at a pumpkin patch in Encinitas on whatever day he can and we stopped by to say goodbye to him on the way to the airport. That place was so cool, Zack and Ethan would've loved it because they had those blow up jumping things. I don't know what they are called officially, but it was fun. There was a clown and an artist to paint faces. It was fun just to take pictures. Isaac got a big kick out of looking at everything.

Well I went to Cali because it was Rock Canyon's fall break. Kory has been extremely busy lately with work and school, so I thought I would get out of "dodge" and relax with my family. It was nice to not have to think about lesson plans, making dinner, and all the other things that go through a working mother's mind throughout the day. I flew in on a Tuesday night and flew out on Saturday night. Isaac took his first flight very well. Of course he had a few problems with the descents, but he was so happy to just be out and about. Everyone, and I'm not kidding, told me how cute he was and what a good baby etc. Of course I already think that, but it was fun to receive those compliments for my little man. Anyways, my mom and I got to spend a lot of time doing things we like, cooking together, going on very short shopping trips :) and watching movies. We watched Sister Act and it was funny. I didn't remember how funny that movie is. We also worked out and went on walks. We went to Linda's aerobics classes for two mornings and holy crow! (Thanks Bella) I was so incredibly sore afterwards. I got my behind kicked! But it felt good. It was sad to go, but it was good to see Kory again and I know he got a lot done becuase he didn't have me or Isaac to distract him.
