Success

"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exltation; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived...this is to have succeeded." _Ralph Waldo Emerson_

Isaiah Turned ONE!

Saturday May 31st - Isaiah's First Birthday
What an incredible time we had on Saturday. Rob and I went into Isaiah's room singing happy birthday when he woke up. He loved it! We just had so much fun that day. We were blessed with so many friends and family that came over to help us celebrate Isaiah's life. It lasted much longer than I had anticipated, which was a blast. Isaiah, as always, loves to have lots of people and kids around, so he was in heaven. He never did take an afternoon nap...but you never would have known it. Thank you to everyone for your love and support. We felt so blessed on Saturday. So the best part...here are the pics.

(All finished, a table just his size!)(Isaiah's ready for the party in his jungle clothes, checking out his present from Grandma and Papa)
(Some of Isaiah's friends, it was truely a jungle (missing from the pic, Caevin, Drew, Bryson, Gavin, Cole, James, Madilyn, Cammy, Brenden, Mitchell))

(I wish that I hadn't helped him blow it out, cause he was trying and I really think he could have done it himself.)

(Needless to say, HE LOVED IT! I think he ended up eating almost the whole thing. Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. When I was frosting it in the morning, I gave him a few tastes of what was to come. His first real 'sweet.'...right grandma?

(This is the cake that we shared with everyone, it was so much fun to make!)(Bye everyone, thanks for coming. Come on over to our jungle anytime.)
