the truman toad

sam almost stepped on this guy the other night on his way outside to bust my roast in half so it would fit in the crock pot. it gave him a pretty good scare in the dark. then of course we had to take pictures so we could show the boys. sam said that he looked like truman in this one.

in high fashion as always

last saturday we went to the pool for a few hours and beckam fell asleep on the way home. as soon as he got up we were hurrying to go get some dinner because we were all starving. i was just a little behind on laundry(it is all caught up now), so this is what beckam found to wear...

isaac's dirty shirt, backwards and truman's dirty pj pants.

i know what your thinking. you let him go out this way? and all i have to say is of course we do. have you met the kid? he is a do-it-yourselfer, and not in the home improvement way, in the i don't need mom and dad to do it for me way. he is also 2, enough said. and totally stubborn which i promise must be listed separately from the 2 reason.
but as

i've said it before, a dream in stripes.

aka it is a dang good thing the kid is so cute, because if he wasn't he might not be able to pull his fashions so well.

meet the teacher

this is isaac's teacher ms. mary ellen.

he was so excited to show her his backpack with all the cool snaps and locks and hidden pockets.

this is ms. elaine, his other teacher. she and isaac read the curious george book isaac brought with him. he and beckam were the only kids with their backpacks. they both looked so cute.

the boys hanging out doing puzzles with ms. elaine.

beckam had so much fun. i wish he could go to class with isaac all the time.

beck and isaac out in front of the school.

apparently beck was in need of his sunglasses.

look at how old he looks!!

i just about died when i saw this picture, he is getting so old.

isaac will be attending preschool this year in a class that is 50% our ward.

we met isaac's new teachers, hung out had fun, signed some papers, volunteered to help with the chrismas party, and then headed to lunch. we went to lunch with some of our best friends the dent's. isaac's friend, and good starwars buddy, reese will he one of the many from our ward in isaac's class this year.

my main worry about this new year has nothing to do with isaac. poor little beckam is going to soon be experiencing one of the few down sides to being the little brother. while isaac gets to go and hang out with his friends at school and learn awesome new things. beck will have to stay at home with mom and truman. we're just not ready to give him up yet.
