2013 Summer Fun!!

We had a busy and very fun summer. Both boys were old enough to enjoy most everything. Mom and Dad started off with a vacation to Branson all by themselves!!

 We went camping a couples times. Noah however did not get to join us, he is not found of sleeping outdoors or hotels. They both love the splash pad, which we frequented almost every week.

And we got to hit the Kiddie park several times. The weather stayed cool enough in the evenings when we went that it was enjoyable.

And we played outside in the water everyday!! Noah loves to splash and run in the sprinklers and both boys enjoyed there mini pool.

Isaiah favorite was our mini vacation to the water park hotel in Tulsa. The boy who hated water, now played
in this cute little pool area for hours. He was most disappointed we could not go to "swim lessons" there all the time. 

Our summer ended and Isaiah "4" started Pre-K. Whew, that was a hard on for Mom. He loves playing in the centers at school and playing outside on the playground. He is getting really good at tracing his letters and writing a few of them. He can count to 30 almost, he gets his 26-29 confused sometimes. Its only 3 times a week, but he really loves it.

And Noah Turned 18 months. He just babbles and talks all the time. He can say ball, bub, go, down, up, more, dog, toes, shoe, book, uh-OH, and no no. Most don't have the endings, but we know what he saying. He knows the sounds for tiger, elephant, and dog and repeats the sounds in very soft whisper. He pretty much loves to wrestle and do anything Isaiah is doing. He still is taking 2 naps a day, love it, but may be moving towards one nap. He loves fruit and his milk, he will drink milk all day long. He weighs 27 pounds and is 33.5 inches.

Isaiah is 4!!!

Time really does goes fast, can not believe he is 4!! This past year has been full of fun with this kiddo and alot more time outs, spakens, and fits then we have ever had. As soon as 3 hit, so did the attitude. He also stopped taken naps, not so fun for MOM. He loves outdoors, playing with his bow, and riding his bike named Rocket. Isaiah is not that found of eating and will choose not to eat, unless it includes candy or cake. He often wants candy for breakfast, and we don't even keep much candy in the house. He does love apples and strawberries, with flour on them "powder sugar " and we can not go a day without watered down apples juice! He is most found of Jake and 2 weeks before the big birthday we changed our party from fire-station to Jake party, yay for the mom who already ordered firemen party favors.
The Big Jake Birthday Party!!

 Making swords and eye patches. 

 Noah was not found of the eye patch.

  Jonathan came up with this really neat treasure hunt for the kids.

 He made activities at each station for the kids to do. The first was jumping over quick sand. Then they got 3 gold doubloons after completing the task.

 Second they had to cross the crocodile river. 

 Third Jon made this boat out of cardboard and they had to throw cannon balls at the target " water balloons." 

Then they had to walk the plank or as Isaiah said all day " Walk the plant"

  And we found the treasure, Papa Mike found this box at a garage sale and made the swords to go on the front!! 

 Then a pinata!!!

Isaiah also visited the doctor that week and is 55 inches and 35 pounds, I think his bub will catch up to that soon.
