Happy Birthday Isaiah

We started the day with one of Isaiah's favorite foods, homemade donuts. We are celebrating with a motorcycle themed birthday party tomorrow so we had candles on the donuts. As we sang "Happy Birthday" Isaiah was overcome with emotion. Gary looked at me and mouthed, "is he going to cry?" I truly think he was crying because he was so happy. Who goes from complete happiness to total tears that fast?? OK, I know I do at a certain time of the month or if I'm pregnant but this was crazy. It was so sweet and funny, he recovered quite quickly.Before breakfast we gave him the motorcycle shirt he has purposely tucked into his soccer shorts. This is Isaiah's fashion statement these days. After we ate, we revealed his new motorcycle from both sets of grandparents. He was ecstatic. Noah went and got him this bandanna so he could be a real motorcycle dude.
When it warmed up a bit, he went "riding."
This is his "bad ass" motorcycle dude look. This is also the look I received at almost daily during the past 6 months when I upset Isaiah.
Presents from us. Cowboy and Indians, motorcycle toys and clothes. Isaiah takes after Logan and does love clothes. He immediately put on his motorcycle sweatshirt and jeans. This boy LOVES jeans, only when he isn't in soccer shorts.
Doesn't Logan look proud showing off Isaiah's clothes.

Isaiah, Happy Birthday!! We absolutely adore you and love that you are so intense and passionate about many things, right now it is motorcycles. We are so thankful and feel blessed to have you as our son. Happy Birthday.

What's to come?. . .Future phone calls

Seriously, I am still laughing. I handed Logan her pink play cell phone that had gone through the wash. So as I was putting the laundry away (it had been over a week and the pile was about to tumble.) in the boys room, Logan made a phone call.(on the pink cell) Logan: Hey Desirae, how are you doing? Me: Logan, Mrs. Crouch is what you need to call her. She isn't your friend, she is Ella's mommy. Logan: Mommy, I am just talking with Dez. I just let it go because I was so tickled. It gets better. This is what I hear with long pauses in between. (I really grabbed Noah's sketch pad and wrote it down word for word) "I've been doing that for weeks." "Oh, you HAVE? Oh, Wow . . good for you!" "Isaiah, not now, I'm having a phone call." Then Logan makes her way into the boys closet, (I am still putting clothes away). I tell her leave the door open and get out of the closet. Her response, "Mom, just like you when you talk on the phone." ...

Today was Logan's photo shoot for her four year picture. Noah (seven years old) had his picture take a couple of weeks ago but I never posted them. Would you believe these were taken downtown. . . . Upland?? Traci Falder, (my running partner) has abandoned running with me to pursue her dream of starting a photography business. (no hurt feelings) She is extremely talented and I encourage you to check out her photography blog at tracifalderphotography.blogspot.com. In between these two photo shoots, I took Isaiah to JCPenny's for his picture because my membership runs out at the end of this month. After trying to keep my active 18 month old on a red dot, in a tiny room, with a billion props to look at, (but me not letting him hold any), it was all I could do to not walk out and call Traci to redo his pics. Which I will in the next week, hopefully:) When I first saw Noah sitting like this, I immediately thought this is exactly how Gary would sit. Traci told Noah to sit on this ben...

Baseball Season has Arrived

Noah as "Lead Off" Batter, which has become Coach Spiegel's nick name for him. This weekend we had a game Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Noah's team is 2-2 and Noah is having a great time. He is batting well and improving out in the field at his new position of pitcher. Last year he played third base and really liked that. Noah is learning to think about where he should throw the ball to get someone out BEFORE the other team hits. He has fielded well and then made errors in where he has or has not thrown the ball. This will come for him as he keeps playing. I hope this doesn't sound critical, I think Noah is a fantastic athlete for his age (I hope that doesn't sound braggy) I just want to journal where he is ability wise so we can look back and see where he improves over time. Noah at first base. Justin Singer as first baseman, a friend of Noah's from church and King's . Noah, Bailey Spiegel, and Conner Raikes. The Three Musketeers. Snow cone ...
