Isaac's Birthday and other stuff....

So, if I was a really good mommy and totally on top of things I would have posted this last Wednesday, on his birthday, but as you can tell by all my recent blogging activity, I am so not on top of things! But I figured better late than never. I can't believe my little boy is already one! This past year has gone by much too fast. Happy Birthday my Son!


Here is Isaac on the day he was born.



And here he is one year later. He is growing up too fast!



Since Wednesday's are $1 day at the fair if you bring cans of food we decided that would be a great activity for his birthday. First we went to see all the animals. They actually have some pretty cool animals at the petting zoo, although I didn't post pictures of them. They have a baby giraffe, a baby zebra, ostriches, kangaroos, wallabees, some cool four horned sheep, and a lot of other animals as well.


Maggie was petting almost everything, which is good for her because sometimes she is scared of animals, but Isaac wasn't too sure about them at first. He warmed up a little but still didn't do too much petting. I think in the end he was more excited about us letting him stand instead of being held and the fence that he was trying to climb up than he was about the animals but he had fun.

















After the animals we went to the car show. It isn't anything spectacular, no fancy cars but they have just about every car on the market on display there, so of course we had to check it out. The kids liked driving the Saturn Sky convertable or at least they liked pushing all the buttons.


















When we got home Isaac opened presents. Actually Maggie opened most of them, but Isaac didn't really seem to care. Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa, Great Grandma and Grandpa and Nana and Papa. He loved his presents, even before they were open!


Since I haven't posted anything for a while here is an update on Miss Maggie. She has lots of fun playing dress ups with anything she can find. Here are some of her latest.

Maggie was putting on some clothes from her too big/winter box and she found a shirt that had spaghetti straps and was too big so I told her that it was immodest and she needed to wear a shirt underneath it if she was going to wear it so she came out like this. (I think the long sleeve shirt is also on backwards). Later she added the accessories, like her red sparkaly shoes, her black purse and a shash. It was pretty awsome but when I tried to get a picture she decided she didn't want anymore pictures and the best one I got was of her running away throwing the purse and sash in the air.

This is her cool cowgirl outfit apparently. I loved the three different shades of pink she has going on and the flannel pajama shirt complements it so well.

This one happened while I was sorting through Isaac's clothes. These particular pieces are currently too big for Isaac but she does fit into a lot of his clothes. Earlier this summer she was wearing his swimming suit.

At least her skirt and shirt match each other in this one.

Finally, this is from a birthday party that Maggie went to on the day we were supposed to have a tropical storm hit Dallas. It was a princess party and they all put on make-up and wore their pretty princess dresses. She loved it. Thanks Rachel!
