Here's my little angel baby drifting off to sleep after eating.  Sometimes I think he's purposely faking me out because he'll get just a little hint of a smile on his face while he's falling asleep in my arms instead of eating.  I need to catch a photo of it.  Then as soon as I lay him down he wakes up.

Today was Hudson's birthday party at Pretend City.  It's a children's museum that has things like a pretend grocery store, a farm, a doctor's office etc.  The kids played games, made fire engines, and ate cupcakes first and then went out in the museum to play.  Isaac found a fire truck that he drove all around and would only get out for a few seconds to check out something else before running back to secure his truck.  Eventually we made it over to the "marina" and then he forgot all about the fire truck while he played in the water for over an hour.

We went to get a car wash today and Isaac informed me that when he grows up he wants to be a "car wash guy."  Very ambitious, right?  He's also recently told me that he wants to be a waiter, a trash truck driver, and the guy that cleans sewer drains.  I guess we'll worry more about career options when he's a little older.

Today was Isaac's first day back at school after the summer break.  He and I were both very excited for this day!  His new teacher is Miss Abbey and he is in a class of all boys (two of them were in his class last year).  He was happier than he looks in this photo.  

I also discovered that he is the only kid that doesn't have some kind of brightly colored character back pack.  Maybe I am a mean mom, but I really can't stand all of that character stuff.  And he's never said anything about it so I guess we're okay for now, right?

I often lay Luke on a blanket in Isaac's room so he can still be part of the action while I am spending time with Isaac.  Today Luke was doing "tummy time" and Isaac told me he wanted to do tummy time too.  Because it looks really fun I guess?  I think when they are laying next to each other like this Isaac looks absolutely enormous!  (And I don't remember why Isaac is not wearing any pants in this photo.)

We went to Sandy's house today for a visit.  Isaac loves playing over there and it's nice to just sit and relax and talk with Sandy and not feel like I should be doing a million other things around my own house.  I laid Luke on the floor to change his diaper and Isaac tried to step over him while carrying some toys.  Before I could stop him a little car dropped and landed right on Luke's forehead.  It broke my heart to watch his tiny bottom lip quiver and hear him cry out in pain.  Just writing this is making me tear up a bit.  He was fine within a few minutes but you could see a little red spot on his forehead and this sad little baby face.  It is the worst feeling in the world to see your baby get hurt.

Karl & Janelle were flying home from their fishing trip in Alaska today and had a three hour layover at LAX.  We drove to the airport and picked them up for a short visit so Karl could meet his new grandson.  We grabbed a quick lunch at In-N-Out before they had to get back to the airport.  Isaac cried half the way home because he wanted them to come back to the house and play with him.  We are looking forward to their visit in September for the blessing.

Charlie left today for his business trip to Brazil & Chile.  Since it was Sunday we didn't go anywhere the whole day.  I skipped church because I didn't want to drag Isaac to the mother's lounge during Sacrament meeting, or fight the Primary battle by myself (he hates going).  By the time bedtime rolled around I was about to lose it.  You know how some days you just have more patience than others?  This was not one of those days.  Luke was a little fussy, Isaac was driving me totally crazy and then on top of that he would not go to bed.  I'm not sure what time this photo was taken, but I think he ended up falling asleep on the couch sometime around 10:30.

Isaac has been so excited about the two birthday party invitations that he received in the mail within the last few weeks.  Today we attended Cody's party and Isaac was not really interested in any of the party festivities other than the pinata.  A better representation of the event would have been a photo of Isaac having a meltdown.  Every time a kid would hit the pinata and a few pieces of candy fell out he tried to run out and grab them while the kid was still swinging the bat.  I had to hold him back and then inevitably another kid would grab the stuff before he did.  He still got plenty in his bag, but he just could not handle the fact that the other kids were taking "his" candy!

When Luke was born there was a photographer at the hospital that came and took pictures and then ended up selling us a package.  This week they called to remind me that we had another 8x10 as part of our package and could they come to the house to do a session.  The photographer wanted to do a few shots with the two boys together and then somehow it turned into a photo shoot of Isaac the camera hog with one of his Chuggington trains.  Gee, I can't wait to see those photos.
