"Look at Me"

The day has come! Isaac has discovered that his nose has holes. He thinks its so funny to stick his finger in his nose. Luckily he doesn't understand whats up there! I couldn't stop laughing. We love our little Ike!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

I'm so excited. Coleman spoiled me and got me my birthday present real early this year. My new jogging stroller! I love it and can't wait to put it to use. Thanks babe, Love you!

Summer Fun

Summer is in full swing now...other than the rain that hasn't stop since the beginning of June. It feels like we are in Oregon and highest temperature has been maybe 75 degrees. I am waiting for the warm weather to get here. We had quite a few birthdays in the last month. Hailey celebrated May 25Th, Coleman and Frank were the 29Th, and Richard was June 1st. It has been fun to see everyone. For Coleman's birthday we surprised him with a new grill. Of course you get the grill, skip the cake and ice cream because all the men were outside putting it together. Later that week we said goodbye to our good friends Jay and Heather and little Gwen who moved back to Oregon. We sure miss them already.
This summer we decided to get a zoo membership. Ike loved seeing all the animals. I am excited to bring him back again through the summer. Ike just recently completed his Little Gym course. He loved going every Friday. He loved learning all the skills and loved his teacher Miss Kim. He's almost got his somersault down perfectly and loves to say " i did it." I'm sad its over because I'm not sure what our summer activity is going to be, an ideas?
For the next two weeks Wes and Page are in Japan and so we have Amelia with us. Then next week we get to have Ethan for a few days while Richard and Austin go to Chicago. We are excited to have both of them with us.

Our trip to Oregon

We were able to travel to Oregon for a good week and half for my sisters wedding. We headed out early for Coleman to do some work on a friends house. The first few nights we stayed with the Strasburgs and got to spend some good quality time with the family(Thanks Allyson). We stayed with my dad the rest of the time. Angelie and Richard arrived Friday and the work began. A bridal shower with Carolyn Dejong on Saturday, Church with mom on Sunday, dinner with my dads family Sunday night. We finally got to meet Richards parents. Such a sweet family. Monday was a run around day and visit people in town. Monday night was Angelie's bachelorette party at the Gibbs home. Tuesday morning I hosted a breakfast bridal shower at the Cadillac Cafe downtown. Seriously the best French Toast ever accompanied with a big mug of hot cocoa. Tuesday night family pictures following the wedding dinner held at the Sivertson's home. (Thanks for all your help Sivertson Family). Wednesday was wedding day. It was pouring down rain, which a week earlier had said it was going to be 70 degrees. I don't know why I had trusted the news to be true. But by the time the sealing was done there were breaks of sunshine. It was so pretty there. On with the day....luncheon at the church to finish setting up. I had to make a DVD of their pictures from childhood and their wedding in Holland (It's a long story, Angelie will you post that?). Reception at 6:30pm and clean up till 10pm. Overall it was a beautiful wedding and we were so glad that we could be able to go back home and stay long enough to enjoy it. Thursday all the Linthorst's headed to Seaside. I rented a house right there in Seaside right on the promenade. It was beautiful and we got so lucky with the weather on Friday. We went a fed the seals at the Aquarium, went shopping, strolled main street, and just relaxed. Saturday was rainy so we headed to Tillamook Cheese Factory. Sunday we headed out and flew home that evening. Wow it was a busy week but are glad to be home and settled in. We are looking forward to summer and the warm weather. Happy Mothers Day momma's! We love you all so very much and hope you have a wonderful day.

Have a great week.

Easter

It's been a good month since I have posted and with the events coming up in the next two weeks(my sisters wedding and Oregon coast) I have a lot to catch up. Well we have officially moved out of our home in Holladay and are temporarily living in the Radford's basement. We are planning on buying here in the next little while. It's crazy but you never really realize how much stuff can accumulate over the years. We rented a storage and all our personal belongings are packed away. Even though it may sound overwhelming but its has been wonderful living here.
We have been keeping Ike busy with activities since we moved in. We took him to Classic Skate and let him play in the jungle gym and on all the bouncy toys. He was quite tired by the end of the day. I just signed him up for tumbling classes at the Little Gym and he has loved every minute of it.

Easter weekend was so much fun. Isaac had his first Easter Egg Hunt at our friends place. He loved finding the eggs and placing them in his sack. Sunday the whole gang over for dinner. All of Coleman's sisters, grandma and Les, and Jay, Heather, and cute baby Gwen. We had an Easter Egg hunt with all the little cousins. Hannah was cracking me up the whole time. She couldn't seem to find enough eggs. We finished the night off with the WII Fit hula hooping. We die laughing every time we play.

This next couple weeks are busy for us but can't wait. We are headed to Oregon on Thursday for my little sisters wedding. We will update as soon as we can. We can't wait all of you back home!



A few weeks ago we were hanging out with the Ricker's and I had forgotten extra diapers. Gwen was nice enough to let us use one of hers. (size newborn, Isaac normally wears a 4)


Gwen, Ike, and myself. This picture describes Isaac perfectly right now.


I loved this picture. Ike has the funniest face!
