Isaac's Birthday

We decided to take Isaac to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday, He loved it! He loved riding on the rides, he was a little sceptical of the singing animals at first but grew to enjoy them, and most of all he loved the food!

After three cupcakes Isaac starts to grow a yellow beard!

This is a really cute video of Isaac and his Aunt Sarah riding on the truck, he would just laugh and laugh until the truck started to tip and then you can see him get a little nervous.

Isaac likes to help me clean...

Just doing some dishes..

Sweeping is just sooo much fun, see mom!

Some other fun pics from October

Halloween

This is the only "candy" Isaac got trick or treating...I think he was pretty content!

For fall break we took a trip up to the cabin in Idaho...

It was amazing, the weather turned out to be perfect and we were able to see some wildlife while we were out and about.

Can you spot the moose in this picture??

One morning when we woke up Renn opened the window and there was a little fawn right outside looking at us, he was so cute but I was a little concerned that his mother wasn't around.

(he was a lot closer but by the time I got my camera he had gone over the fence)

We spent one of the days in Jackson Hole and one of the days driving forever to get to Yellowstone. Here are some of those pics...

Isaac thought that the wind was sooo much fun!!

Peek-a-BOO!

This was a cool rainbow that we saw just as we were getting back to the cabin.

Family Pics!!

We went up Spanish Fork Canyon and took family pictures, it was a lot of fun....Here are some of our favorites....

My life in a tunnel...

This week has been really hard. It started over a week ago when I had this ringing in my ears that made it really hard to hear. It was very frustrating and I just kept hoping that it would go away, by Thursday I finally called a ENT specialist to see if I could get in, they said that it would be a week, but what could I do so I made and appointment and hoped that I wouldn't go crazy before then, well, the ringing went away that day and I was hearing just fine. Then later that night my hearing just slowly started to go away. Friday morning I could hardly hear a thing, I emailed my mom in a panic knowing that moms can produce miracles and she got me in to see a doctor that morning, I was soo happy and scared at the same time, I was not sure what was going to happen to me. I ended up having a hearing test and found out that I had sever hearing loss in my left ear(I have been deaf in my right ear since I was a baby). The doctor explained that this is not uncommon and that it is treated with steroids, and that sometimes from two weeks to two months to work. I am not sure I am prepared to handle this for the long hall...I know that we all have trials but when your trial is one of your biggest fears in life it really seems unbearable. The steroids make me cranky and sick, I am depressed, I pray that I can handle this with the faith that I know I need to have. I am so grateful to have a husband that cares so much for me and who will still try and talk to me even though half the time he has to repeat himself. I am so happy to have a baby who doesn't care that I can't hear him and who loves me anyway.

Isaac, our little punk star!

So the other night Renn was playing with Isaac and he decided to pretend to dump water on his head from an empty glass, Isaac thought it was soo funny. A little bit later Isaac started to go for a glass that was on the coffee table. Renn said that it was empty and that it was a glass that he had just finish drinking some milk out of, we continued to watch Heroes and a few moments later I looked at Isaac and this is what we saw....

TIME!!

Don't we all wish that we had more of it! Renn and I have both been busy trying to finish up classes for this semester and Isaac has been such a joy that we are getting easily distracted. We did have a great 24th of July. Mostly just hung out as a family and then we found the best firework spot on UVU campus. Isaac was a little nervous at first but I think that he really enjoyed them!

Forth of July!

We just stuck around here for the forth of July. We went to a wonderful BBQ at the Silveys. It was a lot of fun and Isaac had a lot of fun playing with Kate. We were not sure where to go to watch fireworks, I really wanted Isaac to see them up close because he loves lights and I thought he would really enjoy the fireworks. So, we took the advice from a neighbor and headed to their secret spot. Well, it was not the best spot as I would have liked to be closer but the fireworks were good and Isaac seemed to enjoy it! Here are some firework pics!

Happy Baby

It has been a while since we have posted anything on here, I don't know how anyone finds the time to write on blogs let alone read them. Time just goes by way to fast. Not to much has been going on here. Renn is working hard and going to school. I have started a night class that is three nights a week and so Renn gets to watch Isaac for a few hours each night. I can see that it has been good for both of them to spend so much time together. I have noticed that whenever Renn is around Isaac just wants to be with him, it's cute. Isaac has managed to catch the hearts of many at church. This week he got a lot of "oh, he is just the happiest baby!" A few weeks ago a lady in our ward told us that we just had the cutest kid and that she loves to just watch him. We are please with him. He has become quite the handful as he has learned to scoot everywhere!

Like I said, he gets into EVERYTHING!

Sad Day

I know it has been a while since I have been able to write. I have been really sick and Isaac seems to be getting it too. Hopefully Renn will not get it. Ok so on to the sad day part, the Warm Springs near my parents home burned down today, I am so upset that this has happened. At first I was worried about my aunt and uncle serving a mission there, they are ok but their house burned down as well as the old mansion that has been a part of the springs for as long as I can remember. I am trying to fathom the nice little oasis in the desert now, all the palm trees burned, so devastating! I have been going to this place since I was little. Good memories. Here are a few pictures of the springs just a month ago when I was down there with Isaac...I am really going to miss this place!

Isaac playing Peek-a-Boo

I was trying to get myself and Isaac ready at the same time and in a hurry when I looked over and saw that Isaac had pulled his little outfit over his head, when I said, "where is Isaac" he then pulled the outfit off. He did this over and over again, I just had to record it!

On Monday we decided to roast hot dogs in Provo Canyon for family home evening. We were not very prepared but it was a lot of fun and the weather was beautiful up there. The hot dogs finally cooked after a lot of lighter fluid and some patience. (Pictures to come soon!)

Jett's Baby Blessing

Isaac and Keira were able to go down to Vegas for a few days to visit her family and for Jett's blessing. It was a lot of fun. Isaac had a blast playing with his cousins and getting to know Jett a little better. He loved hanging out with one of his favorite aunts(Sarah.) We were able to go swimming at the Warm Springs, it was soo hot in Vegas we needed to cool off somehow. Isaac loved swimming but was a "baby" when it came to being splashed.

All the cousins!

Hi Jett.

Isaac swimming.
