I Love My Son

There are a couple of reasons why I specifically love my son today: 1. his unending love for lining up his toys and how he'll spend hours doing it and 2. our mutual love for Target. Both are expressed in this video. 

Father's Day with the Brothers

We had a great Father's Day on Sunday. Not only did we get to celebrate the very handsome man below, but we had the added treat of spending time with both of Ramin's brothers, Eli and Kamran and Kam's girlfriend Clarissa. I made massive amounts of kabob and we enjoyed the day together. Isaiah made the sign :)

The brothers gathered around the grill.

Congratulations Zenz Family!!

The Zenzes have now posted pictures of their precious new baby girl so I thought I'd share the ones that I have from our visit with them last week. 

Sweet baby Haven

My Life

I think there is no better picture to represent my life right now. My two men side by side doing what they love. so cute.

Unprecedented

I'm choosing not to post any pictures of sweet Haven Truett Zenz until the Zenzes themselves have a chance to do that, but I did have to bring everyone in on this unprecedented scene. We got to the hospital this morning and Isaiah climbed into the bed with Mercy and Eden, laid down under the covers, and watched tv. This very rare moment of relaxation lasted for about a half an hour. I thought it was one of the cutest things I've ever seen. We love those Zenz girls! 

And...he's off!

Here we have the rider himself on his first Strider bike ride outside. 

Strider Bike

One thing has been true about Isaiah James since he got his first bike at 4 months old...he LOVES them! After 2 1/2 years of ripping his little 4 wheel, wooden Radio Flyer bike around, he decided it was time to move on. And it was his decision. We got his new Strider bike about 3 months ago and he wouldn't ride it at all. Then a couple of weeks ago on a rainy morning he went back to his room, got on and hasn't turned back. These pictures are of his first ride outside. When he's ready to ride he says, "Mommy, put my 'fings' on and I will ride, put my helmet on and I will ride and my gloves on and I will ride."
