growing boys...

well... where do i start? It's been very busy for us. Joshua's birthday party was great, we moved the first week of June, Isaac weighs 22 pounds, and now we are getting ready to leave on vacation tomorrow.

Josh is such a big kid, and amazes me how much he's grown! He's saying sentences now, and talking all the time! he'll say little catch phrases like: "watch this" or "oh man" too, which is so funny. he pretty much repeats everything he hears now, which is very dangerous! he loves our new house, and is outside all the time. It's so great that i don't have to worry about our pool anymore. He LOVES his baby brother so much, and always likes to help mommy take care of him ;) Discipline has been tough at times, but i really think he's catching on! ha! you know what they say about terrible twos! He's not really showing any interest in going potty on the big boy potty, so i'm not in any hurry. He's gone pee on the potty a couple times, and thinks that's pretty cool... but that's about it. he continues to impress us with his athletic skills :) He dribbles the basketball, and plays baseball... oh and football is one of his favorites. It's hard for me to get him out of his bronco jersey!

Isaac is such a sweetheart. He is big too! ha! Off the charts, and the nurse laughs every time we weigh him! He's wearing 12 month clothing now, and just cute as can be. He goes to sleep on his own now... i started quite a bit earlier with him than i did josh. I think i learned my lesson! he sleeps great at night, and naps are kind of hit or miss, it depends on the day i guess. He has TWO bottom teeth now, and loves to chew on everything. He just recently started "yelling"... that's the best way i know how to describe it. He just wants to be heard :) He's very easy going, and loves his big brother. He also loves daddy very much, and smiles at him all the time. Everybody else has to work for smiles from Isaac, but not daddy :) He's growing up so fast, and I find myself enjoying the stages more with Isaac, because i've learned through josh, that they don't last long at all.

We moved in June, and we absolutely love our new house. Once we were settled in, we couldn't think of anything that we missed about the old house... and that's a good feeling. We're in a great neighborhood, and we've made it our home. And, it is pretty cool to have such a great view from our backyard too!

Tomorrow, we leave for WA state! This will be both Josh and Isaac's first plane ride... and i'd be lying if i said i wasn't a little bit nervous about it! It's only a 2 1/2 hour flight, so i'm hoping they do well, and that we're not "those people" who have screaming kids on the plane! :) I'm really looking forward to my family meeting my boys, and for them to meet their great grandpa Zollner too. I think it'll be a great time, i am really looking forward to it!

Until next time :)

sorry, i tried to add photos, but it's not working right... I'll try again soon :)
