Yasue's Visit

Matthew's mom came to visit and help with Isaiah last week. We had a great time and Isaiah loved having Yasue here. He didn't want her to leave. Here are a few pictures from our time. We went to the Christmas tree farm where Isaiah got to go for a tractor ride, we decorated our tree (Isaiah is into Christmas this year), and spent a lot of time hanging out and playing. We can't wait until Yasue and Bumpa's come back after the twins are born.

Painting

Here are a few before and after shots of the house. Matthew painted the living room, kitchen, kitchen cabinets, and our bedroom with the help of some friends.

Matthew really wanted to cut Isaiah's hair. He used the clippers and it worked pretty good.

Halloween

Here are some Halloween pictures. We actually went to the pumpkin patch with some friends the weekend after Halloween. The nice part about it was no crowds.

Isaiah, Saige and Ellery.

This is our traditional Halloween picture. We have the same photo from the past two Halloweens.

Our cabin

We will be purchasing the cabin at Mission Springs that we have lived in for the last 6 years. We are excited about the potential the cabin has, but there is a lot of work to be done. Matthew has done quite a bit on the outside with landscaping and a fence (to keep Isaiah in:-) ). Hopefully we'll have some pictures of different projects along the way.

Isaiah and Saige

With their gingersnap cookies we made.

Saige is getting a little comforting from Isaiah because I was going to turn on the blender and the sound scares her. Too cute.

Dancing.

These two are so cute together. It is so fun to watch them interact.

Twins

We'll be welcoming twins in late January. We found out it will be a girl and boy! Baby A is a girl; baby B is a boy.

Blackberry Muffins

We made blackberry muffins with Saige last week. The kids love to bake. I'm not so sure I can say I love to clean up the mess, but it is sure fun watching them.:-)

Train Ride

We went on a train ride with "Thomas" a couple weekends ago. Isaiah loved it!

The kids had so much fun on the ride.

Jaxson

Jason (Cassie's brother) and Amy had there baby boy on July 9th. Isaiah was so excited to hold; he has been talking about it for months. Here are a few pictures of the cute little guy.

2 years old....

Isaiah turned two on July 6th. Time has gone by so fast. Matthew and I always talk about what a joy Isaiah is. He is full of energy, talks non stop, still loves trucks and Stella, loves water (he'll even jump off the diving board), and always wants to eat snacks.
