We took Isaiah to the Dr. today after 3 days of a very high fever (100-103.5 underarm, even with Tylenol) and sores in his mouth and it turns out he just has a virus - no strep or ear infections which is good news! I just have to keep him home from school until his fever is gone and he feels better. Thanks for all the kind thoughts and good wishes towards my sick little boy, I appreciate it!
Today is Isaiah's first day of kindergarten! He was on the waiting list of a local charter shool that I really wanted him to get into. Their first day of school was yesterday but he hadn't gotten in yet so he missed it but then we got a call after school that he got in! Yipee!! Now I'm so nervous for him! This is a big switch from preschool - no snacks, very little play time, strict...oh, I hope everything goes well for him! This is a mama with an aching heart today.
Today is my sweet little Isaiah's 6th Birthday!! I can't believe he is 6 already!! He is getting so big and mature and reminding me more of his daddy everyday. He is very athletic, loves to compete but is very compassionate of others, is sensitive just like his Mama but still tough, loves being outside playing soccer, is a very hard worker, adores Theo more than anyone in the world and is the BEST big brother!! I am so thankful for Isaiah and all the joy and laughter he has brought into our family. I am so proud of him and the person that he is becoming. Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with this wonderful little man!
Happy Birthday, Izy!! You are very, very loved!
P.S. This is from the party that his preschool had for all the summer birthday kids.
Today is Isaiah's last day of pre-school. *sniff, sniff* I'm a bit emotional about it, I just can't believe how fast time went and that my "baby" is almost 6. How did I get a 6 year old?!! This year has been so great for him and I've really enjoyed watching him grow and learn. Throughout this year, we've discovered that he is very much a leader but also tends to be a know-it-all, he's very social and loves his friends - often greeting them with HUGE hug, he loves math, and his teacher told me he's always very aware of what others are feeling (what a wonderful skill to have!) I am so proud of my little man!
I wasn't sure what to give his teachers for gifts so I got them each a nice candle. The cards I made for them are quick and simple - my favorite!

We went and got Isaiah's costume last week and he wanted to be a fireman! He loves it and has to show it everyone that comes over. When we first got it he said, "Mama, you need to take my picture in my fireman costume, just in case I'm a super-star!" Hahaha!!
I just realized I forgot to post this on Monday. Isaiah started pre-school for the first time and it was a huge deal for all of us. He is five but we're having him be older for his grade since he has a summer birthday. He did great and when I picked him up, his teacher (Miss Deanna) said he was very, very sweet and a huge help. What a big boy!! I love you
dear Isaiah, and I couldn't be prouder!
Well, I officially have a boy. When it comes to clothes and anything in that department, Isaiah has always let me pick out everything, he doesn't usually care. Not so with his back-pack. This will be his first year in school and let me tell you, the back-pack purchase is a HUGE deal. (For me as well, my baby's growing up!) Sooooo, I was kinda hoping to get a plain one - no graphics or super-heroes or anything like that. Well, Isaiah was having none of that. Of course, he goes straight for the Spiderman one (especially since his best-friend got a Spiderman one, too and was telling him all about it.) What's a Mama to do? I tried suggesting the "super cool" orange and black one, NOPE! What about this awesome red one? No way, Mama! I want Spiderman! So, Isaiah is now the proud owner of a brand-new Spiderman back-pack. He, of course, wore it all around the store and loved it when people commented on it. I can't believe my little baby is starting school in a couple of weeks. Where does the time go?
Here he is trying it on (thank goodness he didn't want that nasty skull one in the background.)
He's so proud of himself!
The coolest back-pack in the world.
Isaiah just finished his first round of swimming lessons. We really don't have too much access to a pool (meaning we don't go swimming very often) so he's still pretty timid around the water. I am soooo proud of him, though, and all of his accomplishments. What a big boy! Here he is right before his lesson started. (Check out his shorts, and then check out this card. The card was invite for his water-slide birthday party last year...and yep, his shorts matched the invitation, haha!)
Just wanted to let you all know that I've taken a little break from card making. I created over 185 cards in the last 10 weeks and with gifts and swaps that I did during that time, I actually made over 250. So, needless to say, I'm tired!! So, instead of a card, I thought I'd post a picture of me and the boys before church on Sunday.
By the way, I still haven't gotten to see the new stamps yet, so if you have, please leave me a comment and tell me about it! Thanks!
Well, my little baby is FIVE today!!! I can't believe it! How did I get a five year old?! What a sweet, thoughtful, groovy little guy he is! Happy Birthday, Isaiah! Mama loves you more than you could ever know.
(We had a little "make-your-own-pizza-party for him.) Here he is in his chef's hat.
I'm a Christian, wife and stay at home mom to 2 awesome little boys.
