Spring Break - Part 2

During Spring Break we had a quick play date with Isaac's friend Gracie. We went to a park and the kiddos played a bit. Isaac pretty much just swang...and Gracie was running all over the place. Isaac will be chasing her around before long! Here are some pics of the park...


The last weekend of Spring Break, we decided to get together with two other couples, the Bockuses (Gordon, Doris, and Gracie) and the Montgomerys (Michael and Elizabeth). We rented a big beach house near Galvestion at Surfside Beach. We went here because we knew it wouldn't be crowded with college party kids like Padre or Port A. The house we rented was actually pretty nice! It was a wonderful weekend get-a-way, minus the ER visit for Isaac on Friday night. He got a case of the croup again, and even though we knew what it was, and what meds he needed, they wouldn't call them into a pharmacy without seeing him. So we looked up the nearest ER and headed out. Luckily this time it was only 1.5 hours at the ER instead of 5 like the last time we went here in Austin. The weather was GORGEOUS! A little chilly, but sunny the whole time. The water was a little chilly - so neither of the kiddos wanted to get in. Plus, this was Gracie's first time at the big, loud, ocean. Here are some pics of the weekend...

We had a ton of fun and have already tentatively planned a summer trip back at the same house!

Spring Break - Part 1

To kick off our spring break this year...well, my spring break (Bill had to take vacation time), we spent the weekend in Dallas with Bill's family. We hadn't been up since January, so we were due. Isaac and his cousin Edie have so much fun playing together now...well...at the very least they get excited to see each other. Here are some pics from the weekend...

The kiddos seeing each other for the first time since January...Edie was SUPER excited!

Isaac and Aunt Molly

Isaac playing with Pansy (Bill's mom)....for some reason this is one of the few I have of the two of them together.

Here are some singles of the kiddos....

The kiddos playing together....or should I say conspiring?

Jessica with both kiddos....how did my mom handle twins and a 1.5 year old?!?

New Photos...

If you look to the right, you'll notice that I have updated the links with Isaac's photos...I was a few months behind....but now I'm all caught up! :) Enjoy

Photo Shoot

We did a little photo shoot today to try to catch a good shot to go on Isaac's birthday party invitations....here were some of the better ones from today...

Afterwards, Auntie Elizabeth and Uncle Michael came over for dinner, along with Auntie Doris and Uncle Gordon. Here is a pic of Isaac playing with his friend Gracie. They are too cute together!

10 months already?

It is so hard to believe that it has already been 10 months since our little bundle of joy entered out lives. He has changed so much and so quickly! Each day is a new adventure. He has so much personality now and is just so much FUN! He absolutely LOVES to laugh and play...peek-a-boo is one of his favorites. He weighs about 21 pounds now...and is roughly 29 inches long. He has discovered the deliciousness that is table food, so he no longer will eat that yucky baby food. :) It is amazing how much this child can put away...I'm dreading the teenage years! ;) He will stand by himself for a few seconds without holding on to anything...but then realizes what is happening and sits down. :) He is also holding our hands and "walking" all over the place...we're thinking it won't be long before he does it on his own.

Here is a pic of our little guy at 10 months...

Last weekend we got a vist from Pansy and Pops (Bill's parents)....here are a couple pics from the weekend.

This weekend a lot of Jessica's family came into town for a visit. Jessica's mom came in from Colorado, and her sister and brother came in from Conroe. We ended up having a mini-family reunion as Jessica's grandpa, aunt, and cousin also joined us one night for a big dinner. Here is a picture of Jessica with her mother and siblings. It was a very fun and exhausting weekend. I definitely wish I saw my family more often!

Here is a video of Isaac dancing with his Aunt Sarah...

Apparently Isaac thinks a bouncing ball is the funniest thing in the world...

For spring break we are planning on going to the beach...so stay tuned for an update about that! We can't wait!!
