Christmas night is always better in new pjs

Smile for Mimi and Papa. He said, "What?!" (His new catch phrase for everything Kevin and I say.) I said, "smile" so here we go...
Wearing new pajamas to bed the 1st night in his new bed. Took 1 1/2 hours to get him down for a nap today, so hopefully bedtime will go quicker.
I told Isaiah to smile like Mr. Potato head. Looks great, huh?

Santa's here!!

Isaiah woke up screaming, "Mom, are yous up?!" Dad, I'm up. Are you guys up!?" It was so funny. I finally got up with him and he ran into the living room in his new Buzz Lightyear Jammies (the elves brought him to prepare him for the night before Santa). When he ran into the room he yelled. "Oh look! More presents!" It was too cute!!



He loved the "big boy bed"! (He asked Santa for it.) He was so excited to open more presents he couldn't even sit down. We opened family presents yesterday and Isaiah loved all of them. He was so excited to finally get to open the presents. He loved Chuck, the toy truck, from Mimi and Papa. And was so excited to put "moneys" in his piggy bank from Aunt Amy and Uncle Jeff. It looks hand-painted and has a train on it. Isaiah loves trains!

Moore Family Christmas

A couple weekends ago, we drove to Carroll for our annual Moore Family Christmas. Isaiah ate cookies, candies, and cheese....that's it! We protested, but Grandma and Grandpa over-ruled our decision. Isaiah enjoyed running around with my cousin's kids, Seth (age 5) and Amara (age 2). All the little ones got a visit from Santa. Isaiah liked the gift, but didn't like Santa. Nathan did! :)

Isaiah's 2nd birthday

My camera died so I only got one picture. Mom's camera and video recorder got more. I'll upload them over Christmas so everyone can see the little man enjoy opening gifts and eating his cake.

ABCs

Isaiah is learning his ABC's. Both Grandma and Daddy have heard it. I am jealous I haven't!

More Family Photos

Fall Family Photos

A friend of ours volunteered to take family photos. Isaiah wasn't very cooperative, but we did get some great ones.

More Bridges

We saw a photo opportunity.

Bridges of Madison County

Kevin took Isaiah and I to the Bridges of Madison County. It is about 45 minutes south of Des Moines. We have 3 more to see, but the pictures are great!

Temper Tantrum stages

Please keep our family in prayer as Isaiah is in a very testing stage with his temper tantrums. I know we will get through it, but a little prayer never hurt! :)

More Fair and wild times with the toy box

Isaiah loves to climb into things...see?

Fair Time...a little late.

The fair was over a month ago, but with the move and school starting I am just getting to posting the pictures. Our friends the Goetzingers joined us. They have a little girl, Reislynn, that is almost 2 as well. Isaiah and her had a blast! Isaiah didn't like Clifford this year either.

Running as fast as you can!

Full Speed Ahead!

A little bit of everything!

This is a little bit of everything.  Abbey with her braces, our trio at the 25th Anniversary party, Mom and Dad with their grandson, and camping pictures.

Riding the Dinosaur

Pool time!

Mom and Dad bought Isaiah a little pool for the backyard.  Amy Esbeck brought over Briella after church and we took the kids swimming.  The loved it!

Putting my shoes on

Isaiah was playing in his room by himself while I was getting ready for church this morning when he came walking out holding one shoe and wearing the other!  It was on the correct foot even!  The last picture was tonight, after my game, when Isaiah found the camera and decide to play photographer.  I helped him on this one, the rest were of the floor!

We found out that Isaiah LOVES yogurt.  It's a great, healthy snack so I'm stoked!
