Isaac has to get creative

Hey guys, Isaac again. Mom and Dad are working on getting out of debt in anticipation of my little brother and sister coming and that means there has to be some cuts! I mean it is not like they're going to get a bailout from Congress or anything. So the first program to be cut, toys. Mom and Dad said I would have to make do with a mixing bowl.



I am not happy.

But I guess I will have to make it work. Daddy tried to show me an easy way to play with the mixing bowl by wearing it as a hat.



I politely tell Dad that I don't want to look like a dork. I can't believe he tried to put that on my head.

Well it looks like Mom and Dad are serious and going through with this plan of cutting the toy budget. Maybe I can come up with something if I just sit here long enough. Think, think, think.....ah man this works for Winnie the Pooh .... Think, think, think.



Well Mom and Dad don't know but I took a spoon before they tried to get rid of it on E-Bay. Maybe just maybe if I hit the top of the mixing bowl with the spoon. Just like this.....



BANG! BANG! BANG! CRASH! CRASH! Yeah this is fun. This will teach Mom and Dad to not buy me toys..... Ha Ha Ha.



Mom is now complaining about a headache. If I keep this up, maybe I will get more toys and they will cut something else, instead.



What!!!! They decided to cut the food budget instead. I guess this is all I get to eat. My one poor bowl of ..... nothing?

Well I guess since they aren't going to buy me more toys and they're cutting the food budget, I am starting to get the point. In fact I am inspired by their determination. I am even getting in the act. I am going to use this mixing bowl to get a jump start on potting training to save on diapers.

Better late than never...

So, I was downloading pictures from my camera that I took today, and found pictures from Isaac's Halloween party at school. They are too cute, so I am going to do a late Halloween post to let you see the cuteness of the kids in his "class".

This is Brayden, the current baby of the class. He was a ghost. He was working very hard on the Cheeto in is hand.

Here is Ali and Collin, they are enjoying their cupcakes.

This is Cash, he was a cute skeleton. He actually gave me a big smile before this picture was taken, but my camera was not fast enough.

And here is Isaac. Notice the cupcake still on his plate. He was not interested in the cupcake, so Mommy had to eat it so it wouldn't go to watse. He did love the Cheetos, and had seconds.

I really liked this picture of "Thoughtful Isaac", even though he has demon eyes. Well, it was Halloween, and he is my little monster, so maybe it fits.

Isaac and the senators

Hello again everybody. Isaac here and today, I am playing political correspondent. Although it will be 16+ years until I get to vote. I want to get out there and meet these guys that are going to lead our country.

Daddy took me to a Saxby Chambliss rally today. He is running for U.S. Senator in Georgia. Daddy really wants him to win. I am not allowed to discuss why for fear of making Grandma Pat mad.

It was pretty fun though. I was able to meet all my Washington elected officials today. I got to meet Nathan Deal, Congressman from the 9th District.



I also got to meet Johnny Isakson, U.S. Senator for the great state of Georgia. The guy standing behind Mr. Isakson is Col. Poole. He was dressed pretty funny, but I liked him.



And I also got to meet Saxby Chambliss, U.S. Senator from the great state of Georgia.



Daddy also took my picture with him.



I also got my picture taken with Nathan Deal and Johnny Isakson.



I had alot of fun on the trip. But politics aside, Daddy showed me why this country is so great by showing me the mountains today. All I can say is "Wow!"



Overlook on Fort Mountain.

Isaac and History

Hi everyone out there, this is Isaac again.
I want to tell you about a trip that Daddy and I took the other day. He took me to Chickamauga Battlefield. This is where one of the big battles of the Civil War was fought. I remember this summer Daddy took me to Appomattox Court House where it ended, but this was something totally different.



As you can tell it was a very beautiful day fall day. I had lots of fun but I did not like the museum too much. They had a room filled with guns used in the battle and I did not like that much.



We went for a hike through the woods which I had a lot of fun with. Daddy tried to show me stuff but I was more interested in all the leaves. They made a fun crunchy noise when I walked through them.



I also like to stop on the trail and play with the rocks a bunch too.



There were lots of cannons in the park too. They were posted where the soldiers had their heavy artillery set up. I was very impressed.



There were also a lot of monuments in the park. I really liked these. Daddy would not let me climb on them though but that's OK.



There were also some old houses that were on the field of battle as well that I looked at. This one was full of lady bugs that chased me.



We took a break at one of the picnic tables in the park. With all that walking we needed a rest. Daddy's legs are much longer than mine.

All in all we had a lot of fun. I hope Daddy brings me back some more in the spring. The picture of me above just lets you know how cute I am.

Showered with love

This past Monday, I had my school shower for the twins. I am blessed to work with wonderful ladies, and two guys. (not gentlemen) :) It was just supposed to be a diapers and wipes shower, but you can't stop women when babies are inviolved! Thanks, ladies, for everything!!

This is a picture of my two peas in a pod. Sarah Lane, one of the kindergarden teachers, is extremely creative and made this for the twins. How cute!!

This is the diaper wreath that Lane made. It will go on our door when the kids come. I almost feel bad knowing that I'll have to tear it up to diaper my kids' butts.

This is the greatest bag ever! I ordered it it special from a friend-of-a-friend. (www.kmaccreations.com) It's two sided for the twins! This is obviously Abigail's side. Her name is monogrammed in the middle.

This is Andrew's baseball side. I have a feeling Joe will only carry the bag on this side.

Eat your heart out, Joanna! I know you're jealous! :)

Update- I went to the specialist yesterday for my 32 week check-up and the twins are huge! Abby is measuring at 4 pounds, 4 oz. Andy is 5 pounds, 1 oz. Andy has also turned like his sister, so they are both head-down.Let's hope they stay that way! The only trouble we encountered is that Abby's fluid is a little low. The doctor was not overly concerned, but we go back next week to check up on the situation. Keep your fingers crossed!

Isaac and the Amusement Park

Last month Daddy took me to Lake Winnie. It is a local amusement park here in Chattanooga. Daddy's company had their corporate picnic there this year. Mommy said she did not want to go this year with her growing little brother and sister. So Daddy took me.

He was pretty excited about me riding rides and stuff, but I did not really like it.



I had fun driving the Lady Bugs ride. But it just kept going around in circles. Plus there was some lady's rear end in all the pictures.



I soon became bored with going round and round and wanted to do something more. Daddy let me go feed the ducks. This was really fun. There were also some big fish in the pond that kinda freaked me out but they were fun too. Daddy even got one of them to eat out of his hand.



Well maybe next year I can take my little brother and sister. And maybe I will ride more rides next year.

Early Halloween

Our Sunday school class had its Halloween party last Friday. Isaac had the best time! He got to play with his friend Hailey (on older woman) and basically ran around going crazy.

If you can't read his shirt- it says "Monster in Training". I thought it was fitting.

This is our friend Will. He is the same friend from Isaac's swimming pictures earlier this year. He has grown so much!

Here are some of the pumpkins that were carved at the party. Joe carved the one in the middle. (the one that isn't a face and you can't tell what it is) I was very proud of how hard he worked on it. :)

While at the party, Isaac showed off his newest game of "Race". He puts his hands on his knees and says, "Set, set, go!!" For those of you who don't speak toddler, he's saying, "On your mark, get set, go!!"

Originally, I thought that Melissa taught him that game- since they play it at her house, but I have since learned that it is something that they do during their PE time at daycare. (the daycare kids get to go to PE and library twice a week at my school. They love it)

At any rate, it was nice that Hailey would play with him since I was too tired to chase him! :)
