Isaiah's 1st Camping Trip

Yes, we did it. We took Isaiah camping. And we all lived to tell about it. It was actually really fun! He did great. The girls had a blast. Eden starts back to school in a week and we wanted to do something fun as a family before then. I know that everyone thinks we are crazy, but it was great. We got there on Thursday afternoon and got everything set up. The girls love to play "house" in the tent. Although, this year Eden asked why everyone else had one of "those" (campers) and we only had a tent?? Ha That's because Daddy thinks that tent camping is the only way to truly camp!!! That night Aaron grilled steaks, potatoes, and corn on the cob. It was so yummy! Then for dessert, of course, Smores! He says that is the only reason I like to go camping...the food. There is a little bit of truth in that! While Aaron was cooking we thought we should keep the tent closed so the bugs would not get in so we made the girls get out. When everything was ready to eat Lily went over to the tent and started to unzip it, when I asked her what she was doing she said " I need to get fashioned up for dinner." She is so funny! Isaiah slept great in his pack-n-play in the tent, and the girls slept great, too. Friday morning we got up and ate breakfast, took showers, then let the girls play on the playground. It was beautiful there. We were right on the lake. It was called Moccasin Creek State Park. It is in the mountains in NorthEast GA. We hiked a little on the Appalachian Trail while we were there. We then cooked hot dogs around the campfire and headed out to fish. It was so pretty. We fished on a creek that was totally shaded. I carried Isaiah in the pack and the girls fished with Aaron. We caught our limit. We would have liked to stay another night, but we thought one was enough for Isaiah's first time. Apparently we wore him out, the night we got home he slept all night!! Yay! Today is Isaiah's 2 month check-up and shots. Yuck. I am not looking forward to this. Eden asked if she could wear some of Dad's ear plugs so she wouldn't have to hear her baby brother cry. Too Sweet.

My baby is two months old!!!

All-star game fun

We are back from Arkansas!! Had a wonderful trip, got to see tons of family and friends. It was a blast. Isaiah is actually a very good traveler (no choice, I suppose), He has grown so much since my last post, Sorry about that.,,I will try to do better. Ha We were sad to leave our family, but it is nice to be back in our own house. Trying to get back in somewhat of a routine. Isaiah slept 7 hours straight a couple of nights ago, He got a little spoiled while we were in AR so I am having to re-train him. He is so sweet, smiles every time you talk to him. Too fun. Eden and Lily are really good at making him smile. Lily Grace gets so excited when he smiles for her, it is too funny.

Well, we didn't to go to our usual Cardinal game while we were home this time. I was afraid the extra driving, plus 3 kids in tow, plus the HEAT would not make for a fun trip. So, last night we all got decked out in our Cardinal gear to cheer on Pujols and Molina in the All-star game. It was fun! We had our adopted GA grandparents over for wings, chips, dips, cookies and ice cream. You gotta love "game" food. Lily did lots of Pujols cheers for us...with her high heels on, of course.

Our boy is 3 weeks old

Isaiah was 3 weeks old on Friday. It has gone by so fast. He is really growing and changing. His eyes are very blue! We are wondering if they will stay this way?? My cousin Kara sent us this sweet yellow outfit and blanket that he wore to church yesterday. My Aunt Margaret made this for her grandson so it is very special for Isaiah to get to wear it. Thank you, Kara and Aunt Margaret for sharing this with us! He looked soooo precious in it. He was very good in church. The other picture was taken after bath this morning. Lily has been helping me give him his bath. She likes to wash his hair. Then, of course, Miss Fashion Designer has to be in charge of picking out his clothes!! She is a very good helper!

Time Flies!

Wanted to post some pictures of my Little Eden over the years. I don't have any baby pictures of her on my computer. We didn't get a digital camera until she was 2 years old. Can you believe that? I don't know what we did before the digital days! It is hard to believe that my Baby is 6 years old!

Eden turns 6!

On May 20 Eden turned 6 years old. She had already had her friend party in April knowing that on her actual birthday we would have a 5 day old baby. Both grandmothers were here, tho, so we had a little cookout on the night of her birthday. It was a little crazy but I wanted her to have something special on her day. We had to take Isaiah to Athens to get weighed that afternoon so we were a little rushed, but thanks to Nan and MeME it all came together. She had already opened her gifts from both sets of grandparents, but she had some little things to open that night. Another very special part of birthdays around here is getting a package from our Jenna! The girls always look forward to this. She is so thoughtful. Thanks, Jen Jen! Her friend Tiarra from across the street came over for dessert and I think Eden had a great time. I hope you had a great 6th Birthday, Eden!! We love you!

Our Little Man

Isaiah is doing great! Sorry it has been so long since I put any pictures up but life has been a little busy. Every time I get a moment to blog, I decide it would be more fun to take a nap instead!! : ) We have had lots of company over the last 3 weeks. It has been lots of fun. We are now on our own. Nan left us on Sunday and we miss her very much! But we are surviving...ha ha. Isaiah is a really sweet baby. The girls are loving him! It is precious to watch them with him. MeMe (Aaron's mom) painted the canvas with the Bible verse on it and painted Isaiah's room. We are so blessed to have such talented moms!! Thank you both for all you did for us while you were here! WE LOVE YOU!
