Happy 2nd Halloween...

Mommy painted Elijah into a jack-o-lantern, and you were a cute, warm, and cuddly Elmo

You were a bit handsy with everything including candy and the camera

We followed our tradition of taking you to see Daddy's boss Cedric and his wife Kathy...

You're so cute...

Our first stop was downtown to go trick-or-treating at all the businesses downtown...

Isaiah William's 5th birthday...

On 10/27/2007 we attended "Isaiah Senior's" 5th birthday party at Riveria Elementary School. His parents rented the gym there and lots of kids came. There was people blowing up balloons and making them into shapes, there was a magic show, there was a pinata, there was a big cake and pizza, and there was a blow up gymnasium that you kids could bounce in all day long. You had a great time, and thought you were really a big boy while you were there. It was a really fun day to spend as a family too...

You kept giving this guy all the kids' shoes from the blow up gym. I'm thinkin' he wasn't really wanting them though...

Here's all the kids gathered together for a group photo. I see you are trying to crawl off there in the distance.

Getting the hang of your balloon sword...



You thought you were a big boy playing swords with the balloons and the big kids

We were trying to distract you here because you weren't too into the magic show...

Alumni Game 10/20/2007

at half-time you went out on the court and played with the balls...

You and Emma played a chase game all over the court...

Mommy surprised Daddy at the beginning of the game with a 30th birthday surprise announcement...

You and DeShawn Samples played together during the game a lot...

These 4 were your entertainment throughout the game...

You weren't too sure of all the space you had to roam around during half-time...

Visit to pool/Visit w/ GGparents

Nanny and Bompums came from Eagle, Id to visit with you on 10/19/2007


You were lovin' the party blowers I got for Daddy's bday

You think your cousins are really weird sometimes

You kept taking stuff out and putting it back all over Nana's house...

It's hard to get a good pic w/ you because you are so busy now...


Earlier in the day we visited the YMCA pool...

You were fearless in the water so Mama had to contain you with this floatie...

This is outside the YMCA w/ Papa...He helped Mama carry you because you're getting heavy, and I'm getting more pregnant each day...I love this pic!

It is a rare occasion that you are sleeping so hard that we can actually snap a pic of you, but you were knocked out on this day! So cute!

Riding your new 4-wheeler you got for your 1st bday from Auntie Gwen...Vvvrrrroooom!


back to wedding photos (sorry)

You were feeling a bit under the weather on this day...it is a rare (never) situation that you just chill on the couch like this so we had to take the photo op.

Happy 1st bday Isaiah! Mommy is so sorry that she didn't get more photos of your party, I was very busy, and didn't get as many as I'd have liked. I should have turned the camera over to someone who could have taken more photos. Your party was on your actual bday, Wed. night, August 22, 2007 at 6pm, at Riverside Park in La Grande, OR. Lots of people came: Mom, Dad, Nana, Papa, Dallas, Emma, Gramma, Great Granny Lil, Marquis, Rhonda-Leon-Micah-Leon Jr, Dad's boss Cedric and his wife Kathy Shanks, Joey-DeShawn-Danika Samples, Rich-Elise-Noah-Griffin McIlmoil, Hailey and Mason Wolcott, Ronnie-Julie-Kelsey-Katie-Kylie Brown, Bubba Williams, and many more. I think there were 30-38 people that ended up showing throughout the evening.

Here's you on your horse Great Granny Lil got you for your bday....so cute!
