The JOYS of teeth

I think there is a reason why we don't remember some of our childhood experiences...Isaiah 1 year molars are pushing through and it is quite the painful experience. Three of them are all the way out and there is one that is still coming through, which is causing some major discomfort. I heard that if adults were to experience teeth pushing through, it would be one of the worst experiences ever...Not sure if that is true, but it does look quite painful. Other then that, Isaiah is doing well. He is walking all over and having so much fun exploring. I think he is also learing some cool dancing moves, too.
We are enjoying some of vegggies from the garden, snow peas!!! it's just so much more fun eating your own produce.

it's about time

Summer, I think, is finally here. The last couple of weeks have been usually cold and I am just tired of it! :) This week is suppose to be more like summer and I am HAPPY. We have lots to do this summer and it helps when the weather is warmer. We are hoping to swim, hike, play frisbee, etc.
This past weekend, we helped make a float for the Gold Dust Days in Gold Hill, Oregon. Joseph did most of the work and he did a fantastic job. We did a float advertising VBS and the theme was surfing through the scriptures...SO, we created a palm tree, surf shack and had tons of kids dressed for the beach...One problem...It was FREEZING on Saturday. We all sucked it up and enjoyed the parade and had a great time.
Isaiah was able to participate in his first parade, which was fun to watch. Speaking of Isaiah...He is quite the walker and talker. There are a few words that we can make out..Daddy, doggy, beep, Uh Oh! Very exciting. He is quite the social bug, too. It's a lot of fun watching grow into such a sweet little boy.
Our garden is doing great. We have some baby tomatoes coming, peppers, beans, and potatoes. Yum Yum!

Well, here are some pictures of our little boy...

Evening quiet time

I am sitting here on my couch after a busy day enjoying the peacefulness, thinking of what May held for our family...

Joseph threw me an amazing 30th birthday. He made lots of yummy finger foods and hot sandwiches! I attempted two cakes, but one came out really good. We had lots of friends come by and join in on the festivities and it was a really great time. I still can't believe I am 30. I use to think that anyone 30 or older was just old...I guess I was around 10 years of age when I thought that. It's really not that bad. I am actually enjoying being 30. There's a certain amount of coolness about it. hahaha!
Isaiah is now cruising all over the place. Crawling??? What's that? Keeps me on my toes, but it's so much fun watching him explore.
We are looking forward to what summer brings...Trip to the beach, trip to MN, camping, swimming, etc. I think it will be a good summer.
Joseph and I are loving being parents. Joseph and Isaiah have a very sweet relationship. I love watching them interact. I think it's one of my favorite things to do. Isaiah loves his dad!
I will be posting some new pictures soon.
Until that time,
Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite...
