Spending time at Grammy and Pop-paws
Isaiah and I recently spent some time at my parents, while Keith took our graduating seniors on a trip. It was during the week, so my mom was at work during the day, but we were able to spend some quality time with my dad. My parents have a really nice park near their house, so we packed in the car and headed out for some morning fun before it got too hot. We spent the first part of the morning playing on the slides and swings, and finished up walking around the pond feeding the ducks and geese. Isaiah also had his first ride with pop-paw on the riding mower. They went around the house several times before I took him off. He loved it!!! In fact, he loved it so much he screamed for ten minutes wanting back on! Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Easter egg hunts and the Easter Bunny
I know...I know...you're thinking Easter was like almost a year ago...we've learned by now I stink at this, but...
The Saturday before Easter our church had its annual spring festival, which includes a huge Easter egg hunt for a lot of different age groups. We thought it would be fun for Isaiah because he is such a good age to discover new things. The festival is such a big event for our church family, so we are always excited to go and participate, but this year was more special.
My parents decided to come so they could watch his first egg hunt. As the crowd grew, more and more kids crowded around with their colorful baskets....empty....but soon to be full. Thankfully it is organized in age groups so the little ones don't get trampled, so we were able to just enjoy watching his little steps from egg to egg. He figured the whole concept out pretty quickly. We then enjoyed Buddy's bar-b-que before taking our tired little guy home.
Easter Sunday rolled around quickly, and Isaiah received his first official Easter basket from the Easter bunny. He got several movies, a stuffed music giraffe, book, and some yummy healthy snacks...no candy yet! We then went to church with the most handsome little guy in the cutest suit ever! We learned what Easter is really about, and had a great day of worship. We then headed to mom and dads where we cooked out and had some good family time. They gave Isaiah a huge ball that he absolutely loves! It was such a nice day full of memories and laughs.
Before the crowd got too big!
Mom and dad got him the ball....he loves it!

Birthday Fun!
To say that the last three months have been crazy would be an understatement. I took on a full-time job, planned Isaiah's first Birthday and found out we were expecting. Needless to say, I have gotten very behind on this blogging thing.
Isaiah's first birthday was a lot of fun. We had our closest friends and family with us....that are close by. We spent the morning somewhat relaxing before setting up decorations. As everyone started showing up we enjoyed some snack foods.....and then...the cake. I guess you never know what your child will do when they dig into their first big piece of cake, but it was definitely a joy to watch. At first Isaiah just looked at everyone looking at him, and then he lowered his head to take a nice big bite using nothing but his mouth. Of course everyone laughed, so he quickly lifted up and began to us his hands. There was a lot of laughing and a lot of flashes. We then moved to presents. Everyone was so generous to bless him with so many wonderful books and toys. I have to say the hit of the day was his first red wagon from my parents. He sat in it forever!
