Christmas Pics

Thought we would put these up here since they are done...we will be passing these out at Christmas....

Opening his stocking with Amy...we decided to have Christmas early so we didn't have to take the gifts with us as we traveled...
We had to adjust his seat and he tried to do it himself...

Taking his trike for a spin...
Playing Guitar Hero with Will and Drew...
Playing piano with Zach
Trying out his new specs...
Us at the parade of lights...

Out with the old, in with the new and energy efficient...

Well after serving us 3/4 faithfully (one burner didn't work) for the past two years we have decided to retire our old stove...It was amazing to turn the dial and see the right rear burner actually work tonight after the new stove was in place....


Someday maybe we will start working on the rest of the kitchen.....

Isaiah

We took Isaiah outside once again and got a much better picture of his costume..sorry for the high level of photoshopping, but it just didn't look right with the background it already had...

Anyway he actually likes to wear the costume now that we have gotten him used to it...so hopefully he won't throw a fit on Halloween...

Fall is definitely here.....

Here are a few shots of Isaiah today....we took him to the park while we were taking John & Ann's family pic....I am almost done with their website (www.jadangus.com)....he really likes going down the slides and crawling over the cars....

We also are all ready to go for Halloween...I tried my skill at the sewing machine and found that I am not as good as Amy is with the sewing machine....but I still don't think it looks too bad, and I only had to rip a few seams back out...The coonskin cap looks a little more like a mullet, but it looks good in person....I will take a better picture when it is closer to Halloween...

Cloth Diapers and a Sandbox......

Since school started life has definitely been hectic around here...we have lots of stuff going on and it seems like we are always one step behind...lots of side projects, but hopefully we can take it easy in November....

For anyone who may or may not be thining of getting Isaiah any clothing...we are no longer accepting "onesies" :) He is way to squirmy when we change diapers and they don't seem to fit him well since he is sort of tall....

So not only did we switch to cloth diapers, Amy started making her own as well...here we see Isaiah modeling a stylish one piece.....I have to admit that it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be, and it's nice not to have to buy diapers when we go shopping...We also got a sandbox finally...so far it has been the only thing we have in possession that has kept his attention for longer than 10 minutes at a time....

We also finally got our back patio done and underground sprinklers put in...we will hopefully plant grass shortly....

August Pics....

Thought we had better send some photos up so everyone can see how big he is getting...
He crawled in here all by himself and couldn't get out...
He loves taking rides in the Luvs box....
He loves corn on the cob as well....

This is a long video, but it's a bunch of clips of him dripping his food, walking, sliding, playing his guitar, etc.

Lots of Random thinngs....

Isaiah at a wedding in North Platte....
Amy trying on the sweet 3-D glasses from Journey to the center of the earth...Isaiah happily running around the pool...
Eating a ice cream cone cupcake for a birthday treat....
Playing with Grace in Casper....
Getting a haircut....
It's a pretty random video, but there are some shots of him playing with a block tower, riding his horse down the sidewalk, and standing...he is pretty close to walking..he actually took a few steps tonight...

Birthday Party.....

Here are some pics from Isaiah's birthday party....Amy made him a cake
he couldn't blow out the candle and he kept trying to touch the flame...we are doing to have to work on the whole "hot" thing...



Averielle trying on some cool new 3D glasses....
Isaiah tried the glasses too.....
Opening some presents....
Averielle decided to help open presents...
We got him some sand toys for when we get the sandbox....
I bought him a Batman action figure, but he liked the box better...maybe someday...

Almost one year old....

It's kind of hard to imagine that one year ago, we were waiting to have Isaiah....The past year has gone fast, and we promise we will put up some more pictures and videos tomorrow...
