And I thought that I would be bored.....

My biggest concern about becoming a stay at home Mom was that I was going to be bored. I had no idea that I wouldn't hardly have time to shower. Seriously some days I don't get to shower until about one or two in the afternoon. This is partly because in the morning I'm fighting with everything that I have to keep Isaak asleep so I can get more than 4-5 hours of sleep. I know now why I should have be younger to have kids because for some reason when I was in college 4-5 hours of sleep was definitely enough. Now I feel like I've got hit by a freight train. I have been told to sleep when Isaak sleeps, but that means that I never get to shower and then I have no time to do anything else........I know I'm sure people are crying for me. It's also an amazing experience to have this cute little baby that you are completely in charge of-well when you aren't praying constantly for help! We've had some exciting times I've learned a lot more about crying like my baby does it all the time and boys really do pee when you take their diaper off. I've been hit four times already-three times in one night. I also realized that I still have a full time job-it's called breastfeeding I do it for about 40 hours a week plus I'm on call all night.......But the last of my worries is boredom-who would have known???
But that little face makes it all worth it. He's so stinkin' cute!!!! Speaking of my full time job-I've got to go it's about that time again...

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

July 29 Ward Lake & the Library Ketchikan

It's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring. He's really snoring. It's been down pouring since we got here last night and it poured all day long. We got up and headed out to Ward Lake to a BBQ with their church.  It's beautiful. The kids thought it was the best ever because they had donuts, chips, hot dogs, watermelon, cherries and cookies. Isaak of course immediately started playing with some kids his age. Chloe and Lydia frolicked around in the woods and played horseshoes. It stopped raining for maybe 10 minutes, but other than that it picked right back up. I was sure they were going to cancel the BBQ, but again the kids seemed indifferent to all the rain. Some of them were even kayaking. I was too busy freezing! The hike around the lake is 1.5 miles and we saw a beaver den sans beaver. We walked around the Lake and it was like being submerged in the rain forest. Well it's not like being submerged in a rain forest. We were in a rain forest called the Tong...

The Farthest North Point & Settlers Cove

The rain continues to come down. I've never seen it rain like this before. Teana and Derek told us that the rain is more consistent with weather in October than in the summer, but weather.com promises that a warm front is in store for tomorrow. We went to church in an amazing building. The ward house was completely built in Cedar. Apparently the church shipped a cedar kit and the members of the church in the area worked with general contractors to put it together. It's beautiful and it smells so good!!! Chloe didn't want to go to primary by herself. At first I was trying tough love, but she started weeping. Okay. So she was actually trully scared. I sat with her in primary and then someone in the sharing time chose to sing Gethsemane. Chloe immediately relaxed. I was again aware of how much Heavenly Father cares for his children. Gethsemane is Chloe's favorite song and she always sings it when she's sad or asks us to sing it for her. She then said it was okay if I...
