Last day of 2008

We have had a wonderful holiday season and it was so much fun watching Isaac opening his presents. He was so cute with each present and he wanted us to open everything the minute it was unwrapped. He made out with several Thomas the train engines, track and cars from the Disney movie, Cars. He has played so well with his new toys. He especially loves riding his new scooter around the house. We were able to spend a lot of time with family and enjoyed that. We want to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Trying to get Isaac to sing Silent Night.

You will need to turn the volume way up. This is one of the many takes. He kept running to the camera to see what he had done.

Almost Ready

So I am almost ready for Christmas. Gary and I wrapped all the gifts up and let Isaac play with the wrapping paper tubes once we were done. He had so much fun and so did we. Here are some pictures of the war and singing into the tube.
Isaac is excited for Santa to come even though he refused to sit on his lap. He just tells everyone that Santa is going to bring him presents and trains. I am really excited to see him with the gifts this year.
We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Time to update.

So the weather had been nice up until this weekend when we were hit with a pretty good snow storm. I love the storms here though because after it snows the sun usually comes out and most of the snow on the streets melts away. Isaac had a great time playing in the snow this morning too!
We have enjoyed going to Red Butte Gardens this year and the weather was so nice we didn't even have to wear coats in December. Here are a couple pictures of our outing.On Friday night my work at the U had their Christmas party. I love this party because the food is delicious and it is a fun night out for Gary and I. They bring in a company that sets up casino tables and you get to play with their money and at the end you can cash in your chips for raffle tickets. We headed straight for the craps tables and spent two hours playing. We had one roller who did great and we made a lot of money on that turn. We ended up making money so it was a fun night. Gary won a headlamp for that camping trip we might go on someday.
I also tried to take Isaac to see Santa with his cousins. Well lets just say the coloring book that Santa gave him to sit on the stool was as close as he would get. Clara wouldn't even get that close. I was okay with that because the Santa even scared me. He even answered his cell phone while holding Macey. I might try to go to a different one later. We are excited for the holidays and I know Gary is even more excited to have some vacation after Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving

So we have been enjoying this week with Gary on vacation. We were going to go somewhere warm, but the weather has been just as warm here so we decided to stay put. Isaac has enjoyed having Gary around more often - so have I. We decided to buy a season pass to the children's museum and I think it will be great to have during the winter months. It is so nice that he can go and play indoors and get his energy out. Here are a couple pictures of our adventure to the museum.
We also had some friends who were unable to use their Jazz tickets and kindly offered them to us. We had a great time and had some really good seats. They won the game which makes it even better. Isaac wasn't too sure of all the noise at first, but he got into it after the first half.
A couple of weeks ago we had a pretty good snow storm and Isaac loved playing in the snow so I have included a couple pictures of that too.
We just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Keeping Busy

It is amazing how fast time keeps going by. We have been very busy with raking all our leaves and I am so thankful for our garden because we just throw all the leaves in there without having to put them in bags. We decided to put up our Christmas lights, but don't worry they won't get turned on until after Thanksgiving.
Well our exciting news is that I am 11 weeks along and am doing really well. The first 10 weeks were a little more miserable than I would have liked, but once I heard the heartbeat I have felt much better. We keep telling Isaac that mommy has a baby in her tummy and he is really cute with the news. He likes to kiss my tummy and he likes to say that he has a baby in his tummy too! So that puts us due around June 5 and I am hoping to go early like I did with Isaac - so my thoughts are due in May!
Gary has talked me into selling our BYU vs. UTAH football tickets. We sold these 2 tickets for more than I paid for the whole season and now we get to watch the game on TV without the drunk guys behind us. The last game vs. TCU was a little crazy and I know the next game will be much worse. I am kind of bummed that I don't get to go, but I will get over it.

Big Boy

So we finally put Isaac in a big boy bed, well actually it is a toddler bed, but he loves it. He sleeps really well and he hasn't tried to get out of bed yet. The first couple of times he would yell for me when he was ready to get out of bed. He is so much fun right now.

We have also been to several Halloween activities and we still have a few more, but here are some pictures.
This is his friend Addi. Isaac loves to play with her and they get along pretty well.
This is his friend Alex. They have fun playing, too!
