Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving, we went to Ric and Jo's. The food was delicious and it was so nice to be with everyone for the holiday. The picture above is me and Shaun eating dinner. (It's so nice to be at family's where everyone wants to hold your baby, I get to eat!!)
This is Shaun's brother Scott and his wife, Jae. Isaak was so tired, he was a little grumpy for them.....
Here's Isaak with Bentley and Ashton. Isaak just looooves Bentley and laughs whenever he comes around and follows him around.
With Thanksgiving being over, I gave Isaak his Christmas pajamas. I think I'll start a tradition of giving them on Thanksgiving.

Anyone else go shopping this morning? We braved the crowds for Walmart, Lowes, and Sears. Isaak is SUCH a good sport. He just slept on my shoulder for half of it. Then I spent about eight hours putting up Christmas decorations. I'm still only half done. *sigh* I guess I'll just finish tomorrow.

Just in time

So today Shaun and I went to home depot because we wanted to build some safety gates for Isaak. As we were looking at the stairs and trying to decide how would be the best way to place everything, Isaak just started climbing! (While holding a block in one hand, and his legs pulling up out of his pajama bottoms) He got all the way to the top (13 steps!). We thought we were planning ahead, but I guess we were just in time.

Isaak's room

We had so much fun decorating this room. Shaun mounted the thatched roofs on the walls and painted the monkeys. All I can really claim credit for is painting the walls and the bead board.
We haven't done anything in the play room yet, but we eventually want to paint the inside like a tree house.

We got the idea for these monkeys off a blanket the Miyuki made me for Isaak. Now his walls match his blanket. I had so much fun doing this room, I'm already planning for our next kid. I want to do a camping theme and have bears and moose on the walls, a lantern for a lamp, somehow have the bed inside a tent.... I don't care if it's a girl or a boy, I've got big plans! (girl's can camp too, right?) Ok, maybe I'd have to switch Isaak to the camping room, I'll decide when we have our next kid.

Witches, Ghosts, Goblins, and a .......Monkey

This is Isaak's Halloween costumes this year. The reason I chose a monkey is because his entire room is decorated with monkeys. I'll have to post a picture sometime, but if you can imagine..... there is an actual tiki awning coming out from the ceiling, there's monkeys painted on the walls (compliments of Shaun), plants everywhere, just a regular old rain forest! Anyway, I love the banana on his head. Too bad Halloween only lasts one month.
