Reese's photo shoot

Here are some pictures Aunt Deana took when they visited. I love them. Right now Reese is really missing her daddy. She talked to him on the phone last nite and he asked her if she was obeying mommy, to which she correctly answered, 'No'. I am so glad I am not a single parent, I don't know how people do it.

Happy Birthday Isaiah!

Isaiah had his first birthday party in West Virginia this weekend. He was very lucky to have all of his grandparents together with him to celebrate. Just this weekend he is standing well by himself and even taking steps by himself. He should be walking any day now. Today we went to Kroger to get a free cookie and an Elmo balloon. I think that was enough excitement for the day after such an action packed weekend!

Crying Sad Tears

I don't know if people think I'm wierd for posting pictures of my kids crying, but it is a big part of their lives right now. I feel like these pictures do a great job of capturing how they are feeling (thanks Aunt Deana!). Isaiah looks just so sad when he cries. Here Reese is frustrated about her shoes. She has a love/hate relationship with them. She loves trying on shoes, especially mommy's, but gets very frustrated when they don't go on like they should. And for those of you who don't know, whenever someone cries, herself included, Reese says, "Crying sad tears".

The Zoo

Here are some pictures from a recent trip to the zoo. We go a lot, but this was a special trip because we went with Scott, Deana, and Kaitlyn. Isaiah is just starting to notice the animals, while Reese knows the entire layout of the zoo, including the names of the wierd animals, like the addax, and her current favorite, the meerkats.
