Caterpillar hunting

Yuck is right. Isaiah went caterpillar hunting at papa and mama's house today. He loves picking up and squishing the caterpillars.
He also helped with the garden, and we were all really proud of his digging abilities.

Yes, you guessed it right...

It was my tummy:)

What's Isaiah sleeping on?

Guess what Isaiah is sleeping on? Come back tomorrow for the answer :)

Memorial Day Parade

The Memorial Day Parade was great. Small but great!!! We almost cried a couple of times seeing all the veterans. You learn a lot of respect just by watching them pass by.
Isaiah was -of course- mesmerized by all the activity and we really enjoyed seeing our friends Griffin, Wes and Kaley at the parade.
Check out how cute the pregnant ladies are :)

Isaiah's Birthday

For his birthday (Wednesday) Isaiah did his favorite thing pretty much the whole day. He played basketball by himself, with the neighbors, with daddy, with papa and grandma. Even if he had to be in the rain while doing so :)

For his Birthday party (Friday) Isaiah did his favorite thing again. He played basketball with many kids. He loved being the party "prince", and he went crazy over his gifts.
Below is the ice cream cake mommy butchered (decoration wise), bur scored high taste wise. All the frosting came off, and under time constraints didn't have time to recover.
Check the "Hess" advertisement...they are giving us free gas for a whole year :)

Look at Isaiah's face!!! He loved when everyone sang "Happy Birthday" :)

When everyone was done singing, he asked: "Can I have my helicopter now?"

Learning hockey

Our neighbor, Christian is a really good hockey player, so he's been teaching Isaiah how to play. We are impressed at Isaiah's athletic abilities, considering the fact that daddy and mommy have almost none :)

Belly Update

Just in case you were wondering!!! Six more weeks to go :)

Isaiah and Sorious

Mommy trying to figure how to build up some energy to clean up THE MESS...
Uncle Neal kept the boys happy by taking them for tractor rides

Sorious tried to take Isaiah for a ride but he couldn't start the tractor
Shhhh, don't tell aunt Lisa how high Sorious was swinging...this is not even close to the real deal :)
Wrestling in papa's yard is always fun
Fun in the park...SWINGING...

Going down the slides...

Smiling for the camera....

Playing with the water wheel

Isaiah had a great time with his cousin, Sorious this weekend. We went to the park and we played outside a lot even if the weather was not too warm, we had sleepovers which Isaiah totally loved, we wrestled, we swung a lot and we took many tractor rides. We couldn't believe how much fun we could pack in a weekend. It definitely hurt when Sorious had to drive back to North Carolina. We are learning that disappointments make us stronger.

The thrill of a lifetime

The helicopter taking off...I would have taken the picture earlier but we were both "blown away ":)Isaiah playing in the rocks, of course...
Isaiah thought daddy planned all this helicopter stuff for him...daddy continues to be a hero :)

Watching the ducks while waiting for the helicopter to take off

Making sure the helicopter is still there

How cute are they?!!!

Today we had to drop daddy off at Guthrie. Papa had his surgery today so daddy went to be with Grandma. It happened that the Emergency Helicopter was picking up a patient, so we had the thrill of our lives. Isaiah thought daddy brought the helicopter just for him, so it got even better. We played outside the hospital for 45 minutes just so we can watch the helicopter take off. We were so close (the helicopter was 50 feet above our heads), and we couldn't even move for a little bit. Our hair was sitting straight up, and the whole thing was just too awesome. Even if it was loud, Isaiah was not scarred. He was really speechless...I cannot even tell you what a great afternoon we had!!!

Chuck e Cheese

Isaiah trying to explain to Mrs. Anna why he doesn't like going through the tubes at Chuck e Cheese. Mommy cannot fit through anymore, so Mrs. Anna took care of Isaiah today while he wanted to go through the tubes and play, but his reasoning kept him from doing so.
Isaiah loved the carousel.

I am glad Cayman loved the horses also because Isaiah rode for free while Mrs. Anna was putting tokens in :) I cannot reason paying a token for a ride when they are going to be free in another couple of weeks. I am just half kidding...

The basketball hoop was Isaiah's favorite. Mommy got tired of picking him up after a few games, so he just had to switch to other games.

The airplane was quite cool. We discovered it at the end of our stay, so we just have to go back with daddy sometimes this weekend and go in the airplane ride a few more times.

Loving music with Anna, Braden and Cayman

We stole this picture form Anna's blog...check out how still Isaiah is sitting :)Anna and Cayman singing "At the Ross Park Zoo"

Braden dancing with one of his many girlfriends...shh, don't tell Brad :)

Braden laughing with another girl :)

We went to listen to Johnny Only again, and for some reason Isaiah gets really shy and he just wants to sit on mommy's lap for all 40 minutes we are there. Anna, Braden and Cayman were having so much fun dancing (mostly Braden), we were having fun just sitting and listening. If you know Isaiah (he's on the move continuously), it is a privilege to have him sitting still on your lap for 40 minutes :)
