The day after thanksgiving we all went to the zoo minus Lauren (with two babies we didnt blame her) the kids had a blast. I think the adults had fun too. Isaiah finally got to enjoy the zoo. When we got to the gorrillas they were running down the hill. Isaiah got out of the stroller and starting jumping up and down and clapping his hands. I would say that the monkeys were his favorite just like his mommy's. I hope we can get everyone together again soon.

Thanksgiving

It was nice to go to OKC for thanksgiving. I love Bens family but it was different without him. The kids had a good wonderful time with their cousins (some we met for the first time)

Last night was Katelyn's school program. They sang songs that honored their dads. They also honored all the veterans. I was so proud of them. Katelyn did a wonderful job.

Ware Elementary Fort Riley, KS

Our little boy is 2!!

It is hard to believe that Isaiah turned two on Monday. He has been such blessing. I can not imagine life without him. I can tell you that boys are totally different from girls. It is amazing that boys just automatically gravitate to cars, tools, bugs and dirt!! Isaiah is just like Ben, he loves to try to take things apart and put them back together. Isaiah makes me laugh everyday. Just the other day we were outside, Isaiah saw a bug on the sidewalk. So he got down on his tummy and just watching it saying wow, mommy bug wow!! Then the bug flew away, Isaiah ran after it but could not find it again. He shrugged his shoulders and said bug all gone mommy!! When Ben calls he wants to have the phone to his ear the whole time just to hear daddy talk but will not talk to him. Isaiah waits until Ben hangs up the phone then goes to the "Flat Daddy" and starts talking up a storm. I tell him that daddy loves him every night and he says "love daddy" and kisses his picture.

He is more adventurous then the girls were he will climb anything and does not seems to be a afraid of anything!!! Isaiah reminds me of Ben almost hourly, he has a lot of the same facial expression. Isaiah's new thing is if he is doing something he knows he is not suppose to do he will turn around point his finger at you and say STOP IT!!!

Isaiah has such a sweet personality but you can definitely tell he is two!!!

At the park

The weather was nice enough over the weekend to go outside and play. This is taking at the park behind our house.( I can open the blinds and see the kids playing)

Gymnatics and Girl Scouts

Last night the girls went to their second gymnastics class. They will get 8 months free while Ben is deployed. Tuesday nights are crazy in our house. The girls get home from school, do their homework. Eat dinner and then it is off to gymnastics at 6pm. After that is Girl Scouts at 7pm. We finally make it home about 8:15 or so. Then it is time for baths, prayers and bed. Here are some pictures from last night.
