Bubble Bath!

Just cute!!!

Happy Birthday Papa!!

In our usual fashion - family dinner!!

Yummy all around!!

Cute boys & amazing most interesting Grandpa/Great Grandpa EVER!

I just love these next few moments caught!

So freaking sweet!

11 months!!

Where does the time go? 

This little fella is a challenge to photograph now that he's wildly mobile!

I did my best.

Stats: No clue - growing and eating like a champ.
Fun facts:
Teeth - 6 with some super swollen gums...more to come??
Crawling everywhere
Climbing now - at least a step, into the shower, up to the fire place, on the dishwasher
Pulling to standing...on anything and everything
Isaac is chatting up a storm so of what we get some is in his magical little brain
Isaac and Noah are becoming fast friends and love to see and hug each other
Isaac is a Johnny Jump-up master
Isaac is eating just about everything except fruits...very funny that he chooses meat over sweet
Isaac smiles and giggles at everything, he makes each day a brighter
Isaac has the most expressive face and loves to express himself

Since I'm at it - NOAH Fun Facts
OMG - the funniest 3 year old I have ever met
Potty training 85% complete, rarely has daytime or nap time accidents. Nighttime - still working on it
I wish I had a tape recorded - he says some of the funniest things, mostly not in my favor -
Noah is very concerned about Isaac's safety - just this morning he told him to stay out of the dishwasher because "it's mommy's job" and "it's dangerous"
He still has some of my favorite phrases:
"I burp my butt" = he tooted (I know gross boy stuff)
"Happy Cake" which we're having some of tonight for Papa's birthday!
"Me have a little snack" constantly asking, constantly eating
"It's okay mommy" when he pees on the floor or all over the the toilet or the wall or the chair or when he spills something or breaks something or draws on the couch
There a million more but I haven't had enough coffee yet to recall them all.

Bottom line - we love love love our boys and have a better day each day because of them.

Super Sunday

We did our best to break in the cave gently

I think we did a pretty good job!

If only the 49'ers would have won - that would have been great

Didn't the cave turn out awesome?!?!?

G'pa & the boys!

Wacky Wine Women

A group of us ladies...moms, aunts, cousins and in-laws alike

got the privilege to share a day drinking wine and enjoying each other

in a region of beautiful NorCal that we hadn't experience before.

We maintained our typical ladylike behavior for a good 45 minutes.

Most of the day was like a photo shoot of just us!

 

Beautiful Aunt & Cousin

After this point things got a little dodgy - these are very filtered photos ;)

The night concluded with an evening on Railroad square - photos intentionally omitted.

I realize the last few post look like we are a completely indulgent family when it comes to libations - I assure you we are not "typically" but can rise to the occasion should the need come knocking.

Are you ready for some football?!?

In a well stocked Man Cave?

The first pour!!

I have to admit the cave is pretty awesome and it makes DH very happy. We had fun decorating and stocking the cave. Now we're ready for anything. Anyone want to come over for and enjoy?

Boyzzz

A little cuteness

Thank you G'ma C. for sending daddy's old toys

the boys are loving them!

Mobile Isaac has become...very curious

Nothing like naked boys
