my apologies...

when we got out computer back i was slow to hop on it since i felt like i had a new lifestyle without it. don't get me wrong...i love my computer, but i don't love how much time i spent on it. so, sadly, my blog readers suffered. and to top it all off....dun dun dun...isaac is sick! i swear we are asking for colds in this house! we can't get away from sickies! he's been freaking out at night and crying so bad that he gags himself and kinda throws up. it's really sad. last night wasn't terrible so hopefully it doesn't get worse before it gets better...

here are some pictures to keep you entertained for a minute...
we put this teeny beanie on him and he thinks it's so funny. so when he came out to show me he was wearing it, he got distracted by the tv and started dancing with his arms. hilarious!

















here he wanted the camera and got really mad when i didn't give it to him. and yes, those are sunglasses on top of his head. what a cutie.

i'm baaaaaaack...

ok so here's the verdict...hard drive totally fine! what a scare. turns out there was a corrupt file that messed with the way the computer started up. i guess it couldn't access windows so that's why we thought the hard drive was blown. the guy who fixed it said that it could have been from...wait, i don't remember. and i don't care. all i know is that my stuff is all backed up and safe and i won't be installing any programs or anything anytime soon! i hate computers! just let me blog or let me die!

not again...

ok so thursday our computer putzed out on us again. this time it was the hard drive and we have lost everything. sad, i know. but i have some peace in me. here's why...

1)when our mother board went out in april, we backed everything up which means we still have teeny baby pictures of isaac...including videos...2)derik backed some stuff up at least once since april...and 3)i normally post my favorite pictures of isaac on my blog (yay for blogs!)

here is why i'm sad...

1)most videos i just download on my computer only, which means they are lost...2)we now have to buy a new hard drive and pay someone to tell me what we already know...that our hard drive is gone...and 3)it's almost Christmas and on top of derik getting his wisdom teeth out and isaac's hospital bills, this will not be a cool one!

woe is me...

last week...

last wednesday was isaac's 15 month birthday so if you scroll down there's a post that i finally finished today :)

puppy love...

isaac loves playing with my grandpa's dog, sunny. she's a sweet old thing and just lays there and behaves while isaac manhandles her. this particular night isaac was being so funny with her...

15 months...

hey, it's your 15 month birthday!













thumbs up buddy!













look at that face!














so the little guy turns 15 months today! he's getting so big so fast.
he's a walking fool and he jibber jabs non-stop...
he is learning something new every day...
lately he likes to help clean the floor with our dust buster. he's actually doing that right now..
he seems to be losing some of his chubbiness since he started walking...
his hair still isn't growing at an alarming rate...
he loves talking on the phone...
he loves going to the store with mom...
he can throw his diaper in the garbage (yay!)
his favorite commercial is the toyota one that goes, "save...buy...zeroooo"
he loves sesame street (particularly elmo's world), barney, and it's a big big world...
he can say most animal sounds...pig, dog, duck, cat, horse, cow, monkey, elephant, sheep, owl, rabbit (which is silence)...
he kisses barney--and all his other stuffed animals...
he's getting more brave around animals...he particularly loves the white cat across the street and my grandpa's dog, sunny...
he can show me his eye, ear, teeth, forehead, chin, nose, mouth, belly button and toe...
when i ask him what daddy says, he goes, "tutdown"--which means touchdown...
when i ask him what mommy says, he raises his hand in the air--which is what i do when i dance and say woot woot...woot woot...
he can down, set, and hut hut hike...
he loves carrying things that are too heavy for him...
he loves saying "ah ah" to all the things he knows he's not allowed to touch...
he has eight teeth--all in a strange order...

he is such a delightful little boy. i love him more than i ever imagined. so happy 15 months to you, little guy! we love you, love you, love you!

home sweet home...

i thought i would post some pictures of our house. i don't think i've posted any before. so this is what it looked like when we bought it. (and there's my new car...new since february)













and THIS is what it looks like now! we painted the house "bone" and the trim is jet black. derik also added the rock detailing on the side of the garage. isn't it gorgeous?!













here it is from across the street...













and here's a close-up of the rock work.

what an idiot...

i swear i did not steal the word stume from andy on the office! i caught up on the last two episodes today and i was mortified when andy used "stume" to jim. so embarrassed! andy and i must just think alike, alright? let me take that back...the writers of the office and i must just think alike. ahh...so much better!

the real mccoy...

luigi and toad should have told mario not to smile with a mustache...it kills the stume (my new word for costume)













yes, i have mom gut in those super high overalls i borrowed from my mom's friend...woot woot skinny cindy! those suckers were tight! i had a major wedgie and the butt pockets went to my natural waistline...

toad's head was like 500 lbs so isaac would tip over every time i put it on...plus he hated it. he hated the vest i cut out of a piece of felt. he wondered why he had to wear his onesie over his pants. two things are for sure...don't leave home without the binki...and don't let beetlejuice stand next to your one year old.

luigi looked perfect! he's got the tall skinny frame. every time i looked at him i totally saw luigi. the only problem is that he couldn't find any man overalls and had to wear some that i borrowed from someone (a lady someone). then they gave him a super duper wedgie and he was NOT ok with that so he tied some twine to the straps. think anyone noticed?

we had a lot of fun, but sadly, this is the only picture we got (hint hint ashleigh...send me the others! kellymunns@gmail.com)

fake costume...

so this isn't officially what isaac was for halloween, but my sister let us borrow this costume and it was so cute i had to take some pictures!













he was so fat with the stuffed belly!













i totally caught him mid-fall...













then he got up...such a cute little elephant bum













hahahahaha!













trying to take the hood off...i don't blame him.
