Isaac's Big Day

Happy Birthday Isaac!

It's hard to believe that Isaac is already 8! We are entering a whole new world with his interests. He will be the first to tell you that he doesn't like to play with "toys" (actually he hasn't liked them for a long time), he thinks he's too old for them. Here's what he likes these days. He LOVES anything outside:

hiking

biking

running

basketball

climbing trees

climbing rock walls

making forts in the woods

playing catch with the boys

and sometimes playing the wii

Did I mention he still loves to tease his siblings?

He is very excited about being able to start Cub Scouts. He got his uniform and hand book for his birthday and was happy to be invited to the Blue and Gold Banquet two days before he actually turned 8. Unfortunately I couldn't go, but thanks to friends close by, Isaac didn't have to miss it.

He also got running shoes...only to be used for running and biking. And biking clothes like his dad.

For his birthday dinner he requested Chinese...like he does every year. Just a random thought, he tried sushi a few weeks ago and loves it. I don't think I even knew what sushi was when I was 8. Isaac is a good kid. Yes, he's still Isaac and will always "bug" Caite and Hayden. He has a special place in his heart for Halle, she brings out a very tender side of him that we have never seen. Most of the time he's a great help to me. He is very "bright" as his school teacher says and loves math. Just a few random facts about our man: He's still "big for his age", he's the tallest in his class, he wears a size 10 in clothes and 3.5 in shoes, weighs 73 lbs., he doesn't like green veggies, doesn't like chocolate, but he does like homemade chocolate chip cookies, He says that the school's spaghetti is better than mine (what a slam!!), he's very determined (or hard headed, what ever way you want to look at it), he carries around a backpack when he's playing outside that is full of his "stuff" just in case there's a fire and he can't get to his 72 hour kit in the garage, for the most part, he's JUST like his Dad! We are happy to have him in our family! We love you Isaac!!
