The Funniest Things

So Isaac has got his dad's humor through and through. Below are all conversations that happened today with him:

1) Isaac was being sassy, and was put in timeout for not listening. When I called him out of timeout to talk about why he was in there. He told me he was sad. With a very sad face, one that would make anyone cry. I told him "well it makes mommy sad too, when you talk to people like that" I barely finished my sentence when Isaac replied "You can't take my sad away!!" I had to bit my lip to keep from laughing me head off.

2) I told Isaac "to be nice to your brother" and he reply "Noah not brother, I brother!"

3) I was reading the scriptures with Isaac before bed, and we were reading about the love that Jesus Christ has for the children, and how he showed it to the children when he visited the Americas. Well I told him that Jesus loves us too, and love him. He promptly replied "I not love!" Almost in disguist. See I call Isaac my bud or son, and Noah my love.

He makes me laugh almost all day. And John repeatedly askes me why is he so cute. In which I reply that its his fault. If it wasn't for the things that come out of that kids mouth, he might of been hung already. He is a trying kid that is for sure, but his looks, and his humor are going to get him in the hearts of people. I know that Heavenly Father knew that he would be trying for me, so he made sure Isaac had ways to make me laugh, or I might be on the 6 o'clock news!

The Powells Come to Visit

John's sister Katie, her husband Jonathon, and their kids Thomas and Ally came to visit just before the 4th. They arrived late, I mean LATE or early depending on how you look at it. Anyway it was 2 am on the 1st. The next day we jumped on the fun, by sitting around watching the kids watch movies. Fun I know. You can hardly stand it. We were hoping John would be off early in hopes that he could go to the beach with us, but no such luck. So we decided to go without him, and if he got done in enough time he could join us. Thomas and Isaac were the best of friends right off the bat. Thomas even tried to convience me to let him take Isaac back home with him. Assuring me that Grandma would help take care of him. LOL!! We went to the beach near the Oxnard Beach park, mainly cause the last time I went there, there were very very few people. The day we went there were some, but still not many. Just below are pictures of Jonathon feeding the annoying seagulls, which got more annoying after that, and then we left. But the kids got a kick out of it.

Below are the pictures from earlier in the day at the beach...

Sand Surfing its the new thing! If you haven't tried it you are so behind the times.

Playing in the waves!

We went to Knotts Berry Farm on Day 2 of their trip

John explaining to Isaac to listen, don't run away, and be good or we WILL go home!!
The first ride
Yes Thomas is hanging on for dear life

Isaac really only knows Snopy and the gang from a Thanksgiving Charlie Brown episode, but he wanted his picture with them as soon as he saw them

Noah was so uncomtable when we first got there. It was a nice HOT summery California day. The was red, burning up, and very cranky. Then Katie, genius that she is, thought to put a wet T-shirt on his legs and WOW!! it was like night and day for that kid.

This was the long wait for any of the rides, and WOW it seemed like at least an hr

Isaac is definatly my son! Wanted every ride, and to then ride it again. He had no fear!!

Some things I don't Understand....

Why UCLA only does MRI for sedated pediatric patients one day a week
Why they only than do one patient that one day
Why if they have a waiting list that is five weeks long, would they not increase the number of MRIs they do weekly
Why losing my kids medical records and budget cuts have anything to do with each other
Why not one of Noah's doctors can do what they say when they say it, and do it by the time they say they will!!

That being said Noah's MRI is scheduled for Aug 6th. Yes that is a day before his first birthday. What a birthday present hunh!

Seabee Days 2009

So every year the base is opened up to the public, the seabees bring out all the good equipment that is kept in storage for just such an occasion, the battalions get out their nice dress whites with medals and they put on a parade, where they have a plane fly over head and shot blanks off. Then after the parade the let everyone climb, jump, and play on all the equipment that seabees use. They have food, and booths to paint face, puppet shows, and everything that you can think of for a summer festival. It was alot of fun, and Isaac loved playing on all the stuff. And John well he loved playing on it too just like a big kid there if you ask me. The Boyz had so much fun. And next year Noah will be able to join in the fun more.

They played on this Hummvee more than any other peice. You could climb up in the turret and everything. Sit in the swing, climb in the back on top, basically any place your body could fit. This is a bulldozer, and it is what John has the most expereince on, although he can and has drove all this stuff. This is what he has logged the most hours on.

Ever since we lived with Grandpa and Grandma when John was in Africa Isaac likes to play like he is sleeping, a little game him and Grandpa use to play, well he does it every where now...

The tires on this stuff was HUGE!!

We've Got a Mission

Isaac Turned 3!!

Yes I know he turned 3 at the beginning of the month. But its been a crazy month, well a crazy year. We are about 3 weeks behind on every holiday, easter, birthdays, mothers day, and we still have not gotten around to father's day. But anyway we finally had Isaac's party and it was alot of fun. I had a blast getting ready for it. And was way excited about my ideas for the party which I combined a few party ideas that were on birthdaypartyideas.com together to make one great party. Since Isaac likes Little Einsteins so much we had a party based around that. I sent out the invites and started planning. We had four parts to our mission. One for each character, and each part of the mission they made or got something for their goodie bag, plus they got to fly throught clouds every time. It was alot of fun.

Leo: they made their very own batons, or Isaac calls them his conducting sticks. Annie: Got a blow up microphone, and sang a little song. June: made a craft made out of space themed foam stickers.

Quincy: Homemade trumpet out of old toilet paper rolls.

Isaac's Rocket Cake

They really are becoming the best of friends. Isaac has his days that he doesn't want to have anything to do with him, but most days its Where's my Noah? Or can I wake up Noah and play with him? (The answer to that is ALWAYS NO!!)

Men and the silly things they do... This is John slicing all the balloons with my good 8" Pampered Chef knive. This he thought was a great idea at a 3 yrs old birthday party. Well the parents got a kick out of it anyway!!
