Isaac turned 9 this week!

    It's hard to believe just last year Isaac was baptized and we blessed McClane but it's true.  Now Isaac is nine and he had a pretty fun birthday, at least I think he did.  He got most of his wishlist filled and got to ride a pony named "Soda" who peed as Isaac was sitting on him waiting to get off, priceless and memorable.
     The whole week has also been pretty good.  No meltdowns for mom, just a little frustration with a cold that limited her yelling ability.  There's nothing worse then the need to yell at your kids and your voice is nearly gone.  But mom's on the mend and her strength is nearly full force again so look out kids!

This baby loves balloons!

And here's the birthday boy!

And in between birthday celebrating this little cutie (Shae) came to nap at our house!  Jovi was there too but not nearly as still!

Let the pony ride begin!

The boys looking on while birthday boy gets his pony ride.

And this is Soda taking Isaac around and around.

Jovi, Jackie, Carter and Brock all watching with a titch of envy.

And we're still waiting

Mom always likes to get a group shot if she can.  This is just one example of how difficult that can be.

This was as good as it got.  At least they're all there.

And what's better then pumpkin pie for a birthday "cake".

Almost everyone enjoyed their pie but it was not Brock's favorite.

Now on to presents.  And of course it's wrapped with a blanket, can't fight tradition.

The fact that we even had a box was a step up from just a blanket wrapping.

Isaac got a new watch, beyblades, a happy napper and an arena for the beyblades to battle in.  (Beyblades are basically just glorified tops in case you were wondering.)

Even though it's blurry I couldn't erase it just because of how excited Brock is for Isaac.  This is how siblings should react.

And now on to enjoying his new toys.

   Well that's it!  Happy birthday Isaac, now on to a Happy Halloween.
