Another Day at the Beach

We've enjoyed going to the beach much more than we would have guessed.  Isaac loves digging in the sand, although he is pretty scared of the water.  I think the loudness of the waves spooks him, and the water IS pretty cold.  He'll warm up to it over time I think.  This is Seal Beach (I think...) in Februrary..  We've enjoyed all of the beaches we have visited so far.  It is nice to be able to enjoy the beach year-round!

Grandma Venita

We were lucky to have Grandma Venita come out to visit us in LA for the first time.  We had a great outing to the Los Angeles Zoo and loved watching the monkeys.

Isaac loves his Gramma!

Valentine's Day Cookies

What a good idea...let's make some Valentin'e Day cookies.  This is the before shot...

...AFTER Isaac got his hands on the sprinkles...2 year olds seem to have a special skill of make a huge mess with little to no effort.

At least Isaac liked the cookies.  I kept finding pink sprinkles in the cupboards and drawers weeks later.  They were those round ball sprinkles, so they rolled everywhere!

Happy Birthday Isaac!

 There's nothing like being almost 4 months behind on blogging.  Life has been a little wild lately!  Isaac turned 2 on February 1st and we had a little party with his friends while Grandma Venita was in town.  He loves firetrucks and cars, so Lance made him these cakes that Isaac talked about for weeks.  They also played put the hat on the fire dog (like pin the tail on the donkey). He had so much fun playing with his friends!

I think this is his "cheese" face.

It's always good to have a separate cake for a 2 year old to blow the candles out on...there was plenty of spit on this one by the time he blew the candles out!
