Isabella and Heidi were playing with the new Play Dough and made a beautiful flower for me! Isabella was so proud she came in right when I woke up and wanted to show me the flower. It's almost as beautiful as her.

The Cake
Yes, this is the cake in the last photo, after Jack destroyed it! There was frosting flying every which way as he smashed his hands back and forth like he was trying to wipe it all off. Essencially what he did. Our once clean deck is now stained with oily frosting marks a lasting reminder of Jack's day. Notice the smiling sister who loved joining in on the fun, especially since we aren't allowed to throw food or eat cake with our hands. She had just as much fun I think
Jack's 1st Birthday Party
Here is Jack and his first birthday cake, he has had cake before and loves the frosting. This time was a wee bit different since it's his day and he had the huge cake set in front of him. He has perfect instincts...destroy the cake. You can't see the aftermath in the video but the photos afterward speak for themselves. He had a great day, with lots of family and friends to share it with. So many wonderful gifts from all of you!! Thank you, to each one of you for making his day special. We love you all
A Dress...Finally
I bought this beautiful dress for Isabella while Abigail and I were in France this Spring, this is the first time I have actually been able to get her to wear it. She prefers only legging and shorts. But she looks so wonderful, maybe I can get her to wear it again. Cross my fingers and hope
Nuts and Squirrels
Jack and his nuts, Isabella the squirrel!! A day at OMSI with Mom always leads to adventure and great photo ops. Heidi took them to play for the day earlier this month and I have been really slow at getting the pictures up to the blog...
Blowing bubbles with sister
Isabella loves bubbles and Jack isn't far behind, ever. Here they are with a new bottle of bubbles on the deck a few weeks ago.
Love of reading
Isabella has started to enjoy her books again, she will bring you a handful at a time and sit for an hour and have you read to her. It is so wonderful to have another child who loves to read! Way to go girls for sharing that with your little sister.
Little Man Sleeping
This how Jack has started falling asleep since the beginning of July. We thought he might be almost done with the Jumperoo but he has proven us wrong time and time again. He loves it!

Jack is now 1
Jack is now officially one year old as of this last Wednesday! He had a very relaxed birthday, played in the pool and got a new truck. Today is his big party, so he is in the midst of going to sleep to rest up for the afternoon of fun, friends and cake of course.
We have had a trying week to say the least, Heidi lost her glasses and was blind for a few days until the new ones came in. She couldn't see, go to work or even enjoy the time off since she can't see close up. She is doing much better since she got the new glasses and can enjoy life again. Paige is committee chair for the American Cancer Society "Relay for Life", which has been stressing her out!! Today is the big day for her as well, she is organizing a couple of ceremonies, lunch, and her friend is singing at the event as well. All this and she is working like a little trooper at her new job. We are very proud of her.
I guess Abigail, Isabella and I have had a pretty good week though, no trauma or drama to speak of. I will post new pic's and some older ones from last week after the party.

July 4th with no fireworks??
That is just what it was for us, no big bang! Isabella, Jack and I went for a long walk, Heidi was sleeping for work and Paige and Abigail were up in Seattle at a wedding. So needless to say with a 3 year old and a almost 1 year old we did not buy any fireworks or keep them up to watch any either. I guess we can try next year for some big deal.

Remember when...
With Jack's 1st Birthday coming up in less than a week, I have been reminicing about when Isabella was turning 1 herself. I found this little clip of her right before her birthday while looking through some old pictures on the computer and thought I would post it. I can't believe that she was ever that little, not to mention walking before her first birthday. Jack isn't even really standing alone yet, not that we are in any hurry for him to upright and mobile in that direction.
