today is january 24th. 4 years ago yesterday we met isaac for the first time. we had so much fun celebrating his fourth birthday this year, and i can't even believe how big he is now. he's such a boy. he can do so much now. i just love him to pieces.
to celebrate his big day, we had a dog party. he wanted one for a long time, suggesting that everyone bring their real dog so that they could all fight in the backyard. we decided to tame his request a little and he agreed that people could also bring a stuffed animal dog or a picture of a dog. we had a dog show with all of the pups that came with the kids and it was so cute! we also made dog collars, dug for bones in the sandbox, had obedience school, and ate cake that looked like dog food out of dog bowls. isaac had so much fun. his aunt name helped build him a doghouse out of a card table and some insulation board, which he loved too. he was so glad to have his cousins here among his guests. 38 people, 3 real dogs besides our own, and 56 hot dogs--how wild is that?
yesterday isaac had gymnastics and then we went to sweet cece's to celebrate turning four. after naps he played chutes and ladders with me and we also enjoyed his new ball and a dr. suess game called "i can do it." mr. steve brought him some chocolate milk and gracie brought him a towmater truck that has a fun cannon on it. after we played, we enjoyed dinner at mcdonalds at his request. he ate every bite of his happy meal and played his heart out on the playground. i only had to go down the slide twice (which was good because i'm too old or too pregnant to fit in those tubes). isaac went down it tons more times by himself, and ada went down AND up it. we had fun. then we made dog bone brownies for him to take to school today, and did baths and read 5 books before bed. i had such a great time with him.
in other news, we got a minivan last week, ada requested her first job, jeremy got a speeding ticket i should write about, and i am 16 weeks along with baby #3. more later!
