Isaac's Birthday

Isaac is 3 years old!

Oh the life of a 3 year old! Isaac is a very energetic toddler! He loves his scooter and rides along while mom walks. He loves playing tackle football with daddy too. For his birthday I was thinking of having an airplane party and had some fun ideas and then I told him about it and he shot me down! No mom I want a scooter party! It's been fun planning his first "friend" party.

The past 4 months have been rough around here trying to get him potty trained. He did really well with number 1 but he is deathly afraid of number 2! I think finally he is getting a little better. Cross your fingers!

He loves to learn new things, he knows most letters, counts to 13, and lots of shapes. We were going to put him in preschool 2 days a week but he still has 3 years until kindergarten so we will wait and just do 2 years of preschool. He is really a good boy and loves to be with his family. His cute new saying is friend. He says "my friend grandpa" or "my friend daddy". We love him so much and the silliness he brings in our home.

We had 2 scooter birthday parties for him! One in Sacramento and one at home in Redding. He loves riding his scooter and racing around. It was so fun to have his little friends over and celebrate!


Our Summer


It has been a good summer filled with family, friends and sun! It was a hot one this year and is still hot but it's September so I'm calling it Autumn!

We rented a motor home! We took it with some friends to Lake Siskiyou and stayed one night. It was fun to do a fire and see some deer! 
Isaac did his first year of swim lessons, he likes for the most part but it was a little chilly at 6pm! He got the basics down though so it was worth it!

We love going to Sacramento to visit grandparents and cousins. There is always fun going on with the family. We go there about once a month, sometimes more for special events. 

My sister Joey and her family came to Redding! It was a short trip but it was so much fun to have them. We went to Burney Falls and it was beautiful as usual.

In July, Isaac, Levi, Shannon, and I were crazy enough to drive to St. George for the Tolman Reunion. I'll just say I won't ever drive 12 hours with a potty trainee and a nursing baby! Lots of stops! The stay was good. Lots of help from my mom and sisters makes for a relaxing week.

Not much else happened over the summer, just getting the hang of two kids around here! 

















Levi is 7 months old!

Levi is 7 months old!
Time flies when you're having fun! Levi is 7 months old now. Here are some of his milestones and what he is up to!
3 months- rolling over
4 months- scooting around
5 months- crawling and teething:(
6 months- still teething:( and starting to jabber a little bit
7 months- pulling up on everything and walking along a little bit. 

I can't slow this kid down, I don't know why he think he can grow up so fast!

He sleeps pretty well when he isn't teething. He loves to play with his brother which doesn't always end well but he still comes back for more! Daddy makes him so excited and happy! He is so sweet and we love having two boys around. It is never dull around here!
