SURROGATE SISTERS!

Megan and Katie are my new neighbors! They have become like my sisters. They came over for haircuts and I dolled them all up. They stayed for four hours and we played on the trampoline with the sprinklers and played games and ate watermelon. They have so much fun with Isaac. I adore them! Aren't they gorgeous?!?

OUR LITTLE PUPPY EASTON!
I found Isaac feeding our little puppy birthday cake! He was throwing it to him and shoving it in his mouth!

Isaac's new scooter he got for his birthday from Grandma Ferrin! He rides it mostly inside because it's too hot to ride outside.

Easton loves it even more! He cries when we make him get off!

MY FRIEND ISAAC!
So it is so fun to have a 3 year old. The other night John was gone late again and Easton was in bed so Isaac and I played on the trampoline. We were laying there looking at the stars and talking. It was so fun. He asked me," how do witches fly?" I told him that witches don't really fly, it is just pretend. Then he asked me how birds fly and I told him they fly because they have wings and feathers. " I want to fly mom"he said. I told him that someday when we live with Heavenly Father he could fly. I then used it as a teaching moment and it just turned out hilarious. I asked him if he knew he lived with Jesus before he lived with mommy and he said yes and then I asked him if he knew Jesus loved him and he said yes. Then I asked him if he knew that I loved Jesus and he goes, " Jesus loves candy! He loves to eat candy! He has teeth and he chews the candy!" I started laughing and told him that he was probably right that Jesus probably likes candy. Then I said " he has eyes and a nose and fingers and hands." And he interupted me and said " Yeah and they poked his hands." And he pointed to the center of his hands. And I asked him if he knew why they poked him and he said, " those bad men poked his hands." And I said yes, but He died so we won't die but live forever. And then because I have been telling him too many "They Lived Happily Ever After.......The End" stories. He said a big "The End!" We laughed and giggled about the silliest things and he kept saying, "You're silly mom." His other new thing is......"But why?" In this sweet little curious voice about everything. And he also says to me all the time, "Mom, I need a favor." and then he'll ask me to do something for him. These are the times when I have to pinch myself because I can't believe I am a mom of such a fun, amazing, little person!

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY ISAAC!!!!!!!!

Isaac's birthday was a huge success! We had some of our best friends that we have made in L.V. I made fajitas and roasted asparagus and fruit salad. The cake was so fun and turned out delicious. We had a Book Birthday Party. I have always wanted to do this. I had each child bring their favorite book and instead of a game we had story time and shared everyones books. The kids were so cute and pretty attentive. It was so fun. I then sent the kids home with there own book. Isaac got some fun presents including a toy electric guitar with microphone, but can you guess his favorite.......Yep a duck umbrella from his old nursery leader. He was so excited! That night when Isaac was saying his prayers he thanked Heavenly Father for " Steven and Liz and Elijah, Lexis and Caleb, Madison and what's her name ( her mom, Emily), and Mommy and Daddy and Easton, and my birthday cake and birthday candles and my new umbrella and my new house and my blue room. What a wonderful boy! So grateful and so fun! It was a happy day when you came to our family!
