Amazing!

Today we were driving along the highway to join friends for a playdate at Mr. Biggs (an indoor kids FUNzone.) As we drive, Isaac gives the play-by-play commentary of every front-end-loader, skid, crane, etc. that we pass, due to all the highway road construction, which he thinks is simply fabulous. (The rest of us need to learn some enthusiasm from him.) After he pointed out all of the pieces of equipment, there was a bit of silence, then I heard, "That's AMAZING! Do you see that Mommy? Isn't it amazing?" I hadn't heard him say amazing before, so that was funny enough on its own, but then discovering that the green median was the "amazing" thing, just made my day. His enthusiasm truly is contagious!

Heaven on Earth

We recently returned from our annual trek to Heaven on Earth, CREEDE, CO! It was fabulous, other than the fact that Kurt couldn't join us for the whole week, due to some work issues. The boys had a blast and we created some great memories. Here are just a few photos from the trip.
 















Isaac caught the fish ALL by himself on a lure, not worms!  
(PopPop helped a bit, but he was the one who was reeling it in when they realized he had a fish!) He was pretty excited, but when we asked him to hold it, he wasn't so sure...
The best part is on video - PROOF that my boys are two COMPLETELY different kiddos. Isaac was terrified to let the fish touch him, while Austin laughed hysterically and squeezed the poor fish to death for 5 minutes. He would have gone on, but we took it away. When we tried to put the fish closer to Isaac, Isaac squeeled and Austin busted up even more!!
