Isaac took us on a tour of his "wild side" the other morning. We are raising such contemporary Christians! (Boy is he cute though!)

Isaac's Big Event

Isaac had a monumental event this week. He officially moved out of his crib and into his big boy bed. We thought that he would have a hard time but he was excited about the change. His brothers made his bed and made sure that his favorite blanket was on top. He has done great and hasn't even gotten out of bed until we come in. One of these days he will figure out that there are more exciting things to do in the room than sleep.

Caleb's B-day

Caleb had a great time celebrating his seventh birthday. His favorite gift was a motorized scooter. Fun for him but agony for his mom watching her son travel at 11 mph! He also got to go bowling with his brother and some friends. It is hard to believe that our first born is getting so big!

Some things Never Change

The boys and I have had so much fun visiting with Danielle and clan but you never know what exciting things are going to happen when we get together. We were able to hear Mike sing with the kids. I will have to say that Mackenzie was the star of the show. She definitely enjoys singing! We decided to leave the kids a little early to get home and get everyone situated for bed time which sounded like a great idea. I looked in my purse to get my keys and realized that they were gone. I had people from her church on the floor looking in the pews, the different rooms, and the hallways but no keys. While Mike and I were looking outside and inside for these missing keys, Danielle was in a van full of seven rambunctious kids trying to keep her sanity. I knew I had not left them in my van so we were dumbfounded as to where they went. As we looked around the parking lot, we realized we were the last ones to leave. Remember we left early to get a head start. Well, when we got home Danielle came running down the stairs proclaiming that the keys were in her purse. How did that happen, you ask? I had left the keys on the pew and Danielle being such a helpful wife thought that they were Mike's and put them in her purse. She felt stupid and I was relieved!

Love At First Sight

My friend, Danielle, convinced me and helped me to create a blog for our family. Here is my first attempt at posting pictures of my three boys. More to come later :)
