What an amazing and hectic day! I got up real early to start Saturday morning right! I had two cakes to make, frosting to layer and bugs to place. Isaac had his 5th birthday party this weekend. He had many of his close buddies come over and celebrate with Linny the Clown. We had hotdogs and chips too. We usually don't have big birthday parties. We celebrate each yr with family and cake and maybe one friend will come over too. So, as you can see, this day was extra special! Today is really Isaac's birthday. The 31st at 1036 am. For everyone's birthday we do presents in the morning (this came from Craig's side of the family). Isaac got a sling shot from Rebekah and he got one playstation game (sonic) and a Fisher Price basketball hoop. It goes up to 6 ft. He was really happy with those wonderful gifts! Last night, we all sat around watching my labor with Isaac and I kept thinking Wow! Even after birth, Isaac's facial expressions are still there today. What amazed me is that how perfectly formed Isaac was and his imprint of his personality was right at the very very beginning! God knit into place every single detail of Isaac. From his personality to his outer appearance to his inside appearance. I love that verse
Psalm 139: 13 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb.
God knew all of my children before they were even thought of. He knew what I could handle which is probably why all of them are spaced out 10,5 and almost 6 months. I love those moments of holding the baby and meeting their demanding needs to the very hectic times of always getting into things (toddler stage) and then the awesome stage Isaac is at with preschool/kindergarten. Finally, I truly enjoy Rebekah's age b/c she learns so much and her brain is like a sponge. I'm sorta and sorta not looking forward to Rebekah growing into teenage years.
So, today I reflect on Isaac's birthday. What he was like in the very beginning. Since he has been able to walk, Isaac has always been on the go. I would try to get him to play with toys but nope, he would always go for things that are able to turn on/off, the computer or anything that he can make something happen. He loves pretending with swords and guns. He enjoys playstation (which at a young three he started to play) I truly thought I would never let any of my children do this but because Rebekah is older he wants to do what his big sister does. Craig had gotten the playstation for Christmas and ever since Isaac has mastered all the controls without really any help. I do limit playstation b/c I believe it's a waste of a childs mind!
I was told a couple of days ago that Isaac is a natural at sports. He was playing volleyball with his friends and a mother and he was able to volley and hit the volleyball just right. I've never shown him that. It's amazing what little ones pick up.
Well, off to do some school. Rebekah is working on her water cycle presentation and I think I'll let Isaac enjoy a day of just fun!
Remember, God knit all of us together for a purpose! We are his creation and He doesn't make junk!!
God Bless!

Wow, can you believe our little boys are 5 (or almost 5). Doesn't seem that long ago that you told me your were pregnant! Glad you had such a nice birthday!
Heather,
It's crazy! One day we're pregnant and then the next thing you know they are 5 yrs. old. I was just thinking the same thing when I was looking at our old videos. Being pregnant around the same time was fun and exciting! I can't believe how big Kendra is too!! She looks so much like you!
