A Week Early

I had the kids wear their Easter outfits a week early because next week we will be in California. Halle was just a LITTLE excited when I put her skirt on. She loves it! I just have to say, have you ever seen a cuter girl? I didn't think so.

The whole crew. Heaven forbid I get a good picture of the crew! Guy Smiley was VERY upset because I MADE him wear a sweater vest. Apparently sweater vests are not his thing.

Isaac's Big Day

Last Saturday (Feb. 27th), Isaac woke up and said, "It's my lucky day!" Not only was his team playing in the Championship Basketball game, but it was his 9th birthday. How lucky can a kid be? They played against his best friend Zachary and in the end pulled off a great win for #1.

Then it was Birthday Time!
He got his very own real golf clubs to go along with his golf membership/lessons. Now we just need to wait until Dad's schedule frees up a bit next month.

Then onto the party. He decided he just wanted to pick a few friends, Caden and Zachary, and go ice skating. He chose this because it was in the peak of the Olympics and he became a bit obsessed with watching Apolo Ohono speed skate.

Zachary and Caden had never been, so Isaac showed them how to hold on to the side and skate for awhile to get the feel of it.

It was only a matter of a few minutes until they were all trying to speed skate.

A good time was had by all. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. We are glad that Isaac has such good friends who share his sense of adventure and athletics.

I can hardly believe I have a NINE year old! We love having Isaac as part of our family. Life would be very boring without him.
