Fishes!!

Izaac and I needed some excitement in our lives so I thought to myself... hmmm... what can I get that would make my son squeal with excitement. Then it came to me... 20 cent goldfish!

Izaac loves fish, justice took him to the pet store one day when he didn't want to accompany me into Michael's craft store. (I have no idea why) Izaac ran back and forth pointing at all the fish in the tanks. He would point at each tank and crack up and then move on to the next tank. kids are so funny.

Well Izaac loves his new goldfish, (even though one of them is brown, not gold). I think he was more excited for them to come home then when we brought Cora home. every morning we wake up and look at the fish on the table. It puts a smile on his face no matter what mood he was in previously. The only down fall is that he gets rather distraught that I will not allow him to eat the fish food. when ever he sees me pick up that orange container he starts in on the "peas, peas" it is great that he has manners and all but it does get annoying when he wants something that he can't have or that I just don't want to give him, such as my cereal every morning. No matter what he has on his plate what I have must be 10 times better right? apparently.

any way... so these are are three fish, who still remain nameless at the moment. I have the hardest time naming things. it is good that you have 9 months to think of a name when you have a baby, it may take that long before these fish are named... if they live that long... here's hoping!!

CoraLynn's Blessing Day

Alyssa, Riley, and Cloe came to visit this weekend. Horray for visiters!! we had planned to go to Yellowstone but kindof ran out of time. we had fun any way in Idaho Falls and at Heise, actually heise was packed full so we found a nice spot down the road. the boys wanted to go fishing but us girls didn't want to be left with nothing to do so we practiced on the grass instead. it was fun.

Sunday we blessed Cora. it was a lovely blessing and she actually got to wear the dress that I made a few years ago. i was excited that it fit her, she was a mass of ruffles!!! it was adorable.

A Trip to the Park

This morning Izaac was up at five, happy and ready to play... Justice was just leaving for work so I got to be up and happy with him, actually it wasn't too bad because he was in a really happy mood. I put him down for a nap at 8 and he slept untill 10. My friend Linzi called and said they were heading to the park so we packed up the stroller and off we went. It was really nice to get out with the girls it has been awhile since i have been on a morning walk, we used to go everyday last summer but me being in school this summer i missed out on a lot. but I am a semester closer to graduating!! Horray!...
back to today...
the kids played at the splash park and had a wonderful time. it is so fun to see Izaac with other kids, he doesn't fully interact with them yet but he is starting to.

It was so cute when we got back home all the kids were out!


Cora and Ossi they were supposed to be a month apart but both decided to come early and now they are 4 days appart. Ossi was born June 11th 3 weeks early.

So I am too lazy to do another whole post but wanted to put on these pictures of Cora in the dresses that Samantha made for her!! They are so adorable!! Thanks Samantha!

Cora's Photoshoots!

It is so fun having a girl and dressing them up! The cute bows in Coras hair were made by our friend Megan Riley for Cora's baby shower. I made the funny pink outfit that she is in, way back when.

This is to show what Cora has to live with having a big brother like Izaac!

random update

Here are some random pictures and movies from the past few weeks, we have been busy with family visiting, going to Magrath, going to Egan lake and just hanging out at home, so here are a bunch of pictures of all of that.

This cracks me up, we went to Porter park with both of our parents when they were here and had a fun BBQ. here is Justice helping Izaac play baseball while my dad pitches.

Playing at the Splash Park with Aunty Adrien, Izaac finally loves the splash park!! He had so much fun and it was wonderful for me having Adrien here to run after him the whole time!!
