Scattered


Little "I" takes his first daring steps into the unknown...okay we didn't really have the camera ready for his first steps, but he took them on Cory's Birthday. Cory was so excited that Isaak actually gave him a Birthday Present--ahhh, I'm sure your heart is melting.

We've had some big changes in January. Mainly Cory's work schedule. It's all crazy, but we are adjusting. We've gone snowshoeing about five times already this year. Isaak gets so bundled up that it reminds me of The Christmas Story when the little boys cries because he can't put his arms down.

Isaak got swimming lessons for Christmas. I laugh hysterically during the lessons. Isaak isn't a cuddly baby, but in the pool he wraps his little arms around my neck and DOESN'T let go!!! He is warming up to the idea though and was less scared this week compared to last week. But I must admit that I love the cuddling. We also bought him some reusable swim diapers. He looks like he's wearing a little speedo and its sooo cute. I know it's crazy to use speedo and cute in the same sentence, but it's true. Isaak definitely has something on the guy that Cory and I saw on our honeymoon in Cancun. He wore a speedo along with his two awesome nipple rings and a belly ring.....Cute isn't crossing your mind is it??? If it is I think that I forgot to mention that he was about 55 years old-orange from tanning and hitting on the spring breakers....

I didn't mention this before, but we had a blast for New Years and made some new traditions. We had all healthy foods to munch on--Jimaca, carrots, clementines, peppers, tortilla chips, salsa, bananas, apples, yogurt for dipping...the food was delicious. I paid two dollars for one of those cheesy New Years Eve Hats thinking that it was totally worth it to see Isaak wearing it. I was sorely disappointed because Isaak hated it, so I got a ton of pictures of him throwing it around. Our new tradition is to go Snowshoeing on New Years Day then to lounge around and watch movies the rest of the day. We watched Star Trek this year, which I loved. And Julie and Julia, which I also loved. A movie I recently watched and definitely did not love was Brothers Bloom.

Lil "I" all bundled up when we went sledding with Cory's Sister which was SUPER fun.
For those that know Isaak doesn't fall asleep anywhere, but he was so tired after all that sledding that while I was pulling his around on the sled he fell right to sleep. He stayed sleeping like this for about two hours. Cute.

Wow, you've been snowshoeing 5 times already? I love that Isaak is getting involved in your guys' hobbies and that he is trying swimming. I can tell he is definitely going to be an adventurous one... well he would have to be since he came from yours and Cory's DNA!
It was really good to see you guys on Cory's birthday.
Oh, I liked The Brothers Bloom. What didn't you like about it?
EA said…
Oh, YEAH and I almost forgot to mention that Isaak walking is so exciting. I can't help but be excited for you guys when he toddles on over to the camera. He is getting so big!

I love the picture of him asleep in the sled. When something like that never happens it makes it that much more precious.

Isaak is one smart kid to give his daddy such a wonderful gift on his birthday. He is one smart cookie!

Can I just say, I love your little boy. What a cutie!

Oh and when I get to Utah you better let me do the honor of babysitting him. :)

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...

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...
