nana and papa's house

the boys and i went to stay with my parents for a few days. we had a great time. it was really relaxing even though we were busy playing the whole time. isaac had so much fun. he got to swim in the little pool that his papa bought for him, he drove around in the woody van, and i think the high light for him may have been helping his papa water the garden every day. he sure kept his nana busy too, they played in the pool, built with lego's, ran around doing everything and when samantha came over to visit they had races in the empty lot next door. i think the high light for me was getting to spend some quality time with my mom and dad. and watching isaac and samantha eat the darkest chocolate pudding i have ever seen.

before we left for the bike trip we had a family day and got ice cream and a movie. isaac loves being a big boy with his very own ice cream cone.

isaac tried onhis daddy's sunglasses at the dr. the other day. he looks so adorable. his daddy is pretty cute too.

isaac and the toad

mazzy found a toad in the backyard, so we let isaac keep it for a few days in his empty fish tank. he thought that it was pretty cool. he kept peeking in and saying "hi froggy"

isaac goes swimming

just like most kids his age isaac loves to swim! he got his grandma to take him in for his first swim of the summer on fathers day. he had a great time and looked like such a big boy in his life jacket. he swam until his lips were blue and he was shivering so much that he was stuttering his words. even then when you asked him if he was ready to get out he said a very adament "no" while shaking his head and shivering. nolan wasn't left out of the fun either, he got to dip his feet in with his daddy and his grandpa.

fathers day

these photos were taken on fathers day. tom and his dad are so much alike. they are both great dads!

more hats, some silly some not

following in his brother isaac's footsteps, nolan looks cute no matter what i put on him. including silly hats. i love the baseball hat, he looks so sweet and i love to see the number of chins in this photo!

nolan is two months old!

nolan turned two months old on friday! he is getting so big, he kinda looks like a sumo wrestler in some of these pictures! he is growing and cooing and babbling so much so fast it is hard to believe he is only two months old.

Comparisons Continued

It is amazing how much Issac and Nolan Look alike when they smile. Isaac is in the blue.

silly hat

here is nolan with his grandma. he is wearing one of the hats that tom does not approve of. toms mom likes silly hats as much as i do. she bought this one for him at a garage sale and i love it! he looks adorable in it. thanks mom!

visitors

last week my aunt camelia and my mom came to visit. we had a really great day together. isaac had loads of fun playing with them, and showing off all of his skills.

bathtime

for bath time last night we dunked nolan in with isaac for a bit. it was really cool. they both had fun. isaac helped to wash nolan, and he did a great job. nolan was like a little fish. as soon as he hit the water his chubby little legs started kicking like crazy. we also learned that nolan floats. very interesting.

nolan got chubby

nolan loves to eat, as you can see in this photo. he weighs more than 12 pounds now!

nolan loves isaac

Nolan must really love Isaac, because he saves all of his best smiles for him. their evening routine of cuddles and kisses before bed seems to be the best time to capture them on film. isaac really loves nolan too, he has been saying "thank you Jesus for nolan" every night when we pray, it is so sweet to hear the prayers of a child. its hard to get through prayers with out getting all teary eyed.

our boys

so big!

these two boys are both getting so big! i think that isaac has grown a good two inches since nolan was born and nolan is already up to 12lbs.

silly face

this is isaac's new favorite silly face. he was laughing like crazy and making this face the other night while he was talking on the phone with his grandma.

nolan or isaac?

this was one of my favorite outfits when isaac was a baby, and now nolan wears it too! the one on the top is isaac and the one below is nolan. my boys are so sweet.
