Turkey Tri...athlon that is!
Isaiah has asked to do some sort of a race for probably over a year and I finally looked into it enough to get him signed up for this one. Why did I start with a triathlon??? Who knows...I knew he could do it. He's an excellent swimmer and biker and loves to run so why not?
As you can tell he was totally stoked about the whole thing.
Notice...goggles on top of his head??? He was to anxious to jump in...once he hit the first lap he finally put them on.
Go #230!!! I was quite a proud mom that day. He makes me want to do one myself...I've always wanted to. I think he's caught the runners bug...he's already asking when he can do it again.

Ellen baby!!! Talk about an incredible girls vacation!!! Lots of driving and my poor ankles had turned cankles by the drive home. We left the night before this little squirts birthday...hey don't judge! He got to spend the night at Grandmas and was thrilled about it and Mike came home the next afternoon and they played like crazy while I was gone. So now this cute thing is 4!!
While we were waiting and waiting to go inside the studio...me and my sis Summer.
While we were sitting there at the studio waiting to go in we looked over and saw this adorable girl walking by.....who else totally loves her???
Totally did a triple take wondering if it was really her and then she looked over at us and smiled and we were retarded and let her go by BUT she came back about 20 minutes later and I was a total goob and asked for a picture with her. She was going in for an audition and was incredibly nice. She actually sat and talked to us for a little bit. Totally a fan!!!
Why am I showing such an awful picture of myself??
Don't ask...it's proof!
The Ellen show was ridiculously fun...there is seriously a buzz when you walk in there and when you watch the show and see all the crazies dancing and wonder to yourself how on earth they could do those things on tv well...I was probably one of them. You can't help yourself! Ellen actually danced two feet from me but they cut it out of the taping and I'm convinced it was because my unbearable dancing and they just couldn't air something so vile.
But me and my baby bump were shakin'!
We ended up being totally surprised that we were taping the 1200th show and she gave everyone one of these.....Merry Christmas Us!!
While we were in LA we also got tickets to see...
It was the day after the election so everything was very political...not my thing but it's fun to say we've been and his band was incredible.
The trip was incredible...when we checked into our hotel we even got upgraded to the presidential suite and slept in total luxury while we were there. It was hard to come home from such pampering.

Seven
This boy is Seven today! This morning he asked me what things he was good at now that he was seven (like when you have a birthday you automatically get a new talent...imagine if it were true). So I listed things that he is good at and afterwards he says "You're the best at making babies in your tummy."
He is SO excited for this baby to come!
Happy Birthday Isaiah!!
