Christmas Update

Below is a shot of these really yummy cake balls. I'm not really sure what you call them. I made them for my neighbors this year, and I gotta say, since this is my first time doing the whole dipping in chocolate thing, what a freaking lot of work! They are really good, but I don't know how often I'll be doing them. They did turn out really well though. I just wanted to show you all that I can be domestic every once in a while. Don't you wish you were my neighbor?



I bought Isaac a little suit for Christmas and the shirt is super small, so I thought I better get a picture of him in it. Matt and Isaac wore their suits to church on Sunday and were all matchy matchy. I'm not gonna lie, I kind of loved it.

Our Little Monkey

Here are the long awaited (by some) pictures of Isaac in his Halloween costume. He was a monkey. I never did get a perfect shot of him in the outfit. We had him holding his stuffed monkey just in case people didn't know what the outfit was supposed to be.

Here he is waiting for all the festivities to begin.


Sitting with Grandpa Jensen

Grandma really wanted a picture of Isaac holding her Boo decoration. This one is for you mom. I think he just wanted to fit it into his mouth.

Here he is at the trunk or treat with Matt. He was fascinated by all the different people walking by in their various costumes.

Our Anniversary

Here are some pictures from our little overnight anniversary trip up to Wolf Creek. It's been two years already! Time flies. We had a good time. And even though it was a strange feeling not to have Isaac with us, it was really nice to be able to sleep in.

I am not a huge fan of any picture taken of me, but I thought I should probably include some of me since I was there. So here we are.

The rest are just some pictures of us at Pineview Resivoir skipping rocks and just enjoying the view. Sorry if it is picture overload.

The Boy

I just had to post this picture. He is almost sitting up by himself... okay, so he falls over a little bit if left on his own too long. He is on his way. I have to say, being home with him is an adjustment. It's only been a few days, and even though he has had a bad cold for most of that time, I know why people say it is the best job in the world. I love being a mom.

Recap...

I know I've been a huge slacker and haven't kept up on blogging as I should have. So, below you will see some pictures of stuff that went on a while back.


Here is Isaac chillin' with his aunt Natalie when she came to visit. I love the look on his face.


Here is my little sister Amber and her son Eli. They came back in August and it was so fun to see that chunky kid. He's super cute and pretty heavy. I don't know how my sister lugs him around.


Me and Natalie. She stayed with me when she came to visit in August.

It was fun to have Eli and Isaac get to know each other. I'm not too sure that Isaac will remember, but Eli really liked touching him. The two are 7 months apart. Look at the difference between the size of their hands. It's cute.


Here is Isaac in his car seat just this past weekend. He is so much happier when he isn't sitting back there all by himself. I think he may grow up to be a social child.

Slow...

So, I am trying to find more than exactly 60 seconds to post some pictures. Maybe tomorrow. We are alive and well, and things are good. I am finally leaving my job. My last day is the 30th. Maybe I'll be a better blogger once I am not constantly rushing to be on time, and leaving a mess behind to clean up in my spare time.

Camping with Isaac went very well. He slept for 8 hours straight Friday night! I couldn't believe it. I was actually a little worried when he didn't wake up after about 3 hours. I'm just happy he wasn't screaming all night long. What a good little baby boy. Now I know that it can be done, and will likely venture out into the great outdoors with him again. Sadly I forgot to bring our camera so we don't have any pictures.
