Isaiah turns ONE !!!

THE CUP CAKES !!!

He is getting ready to dive in !!


He is ALL mess !!

Isaiah HAD to get every bite in. He is eating all the crumbs that are on his bib as well.



WEll, My boy finally turned one!! I have loved getting to look back at his first year of life. Isaiah, you have been a little boy FULL of surprises. You came into this world big and healthy and a whole two weeks overdue. But getting to know you this past year I look back and think that is exactly your personality. You love to cuddle as much as possible and are so sensitive. I can imagine how secure and safe you felt in the womb and just didn't feel like leaving !! We are so glad you did-even if it was by force!! I have learned so much through getting to take care of you. I have learned to sit back and just enjoy holding you and giving you lots of kissers. I have learned that discipline looks way different for you than with Ru. I have learned how to love TWO kids at the same time yet in different ways. I know one day your sensitivity will help tranform you into the man that the Lord will want you to be and that will show the Love of Jesus. You and your dad have so much in common. I can't wait to see all of the fun things you two do together. Your Grandpa Dub taught your daddy well and I know that your daddy will teach you how to hunt, bike, camp and all that other fun boy stuff Grandpa Dub showed daddy. Not to worry, you will know how to cook good meals and clean with the best of them as well. Thanks to Gram, your daddy started cooking cheese toast at the tender age of two !! These things will become great assests when you are single and out of the house and even bigger assests when you are married. But for now, I am so glad God placed you into our hands !! Above all we give thanks to our God and King!! He has so blessed us with you and we hope and pray that will be good stewards with what he has given to us. We love you Isaiah-and count you as such a huge blessing from the Lord and in return we pray you will be a blessing to the world!!!
