Three!

Isaac turned three on Sunday. My, how time flies. As I mentioned earlier, this will be our last post on Isaac Tales. It has been a wild ride since Ry's first post announcing Isaac's arrival. Our lives have changed in so many amazing ways in the last three years, and we have enjoyed sharing the pictures and stories that have made us smile. I will continue to post pictures on Facebook so keep an eye out for Isaac's ongoing adventures there.

Not sure where the time has gone, but Isaac has been busy enjoying this summer. Some of my favorite recent pics below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blast Off!

Just back from a great weekend at the beach - Isaac needed a little something extra to ease the transition back home, hence the rocket launcher. Notice the white rocket blasting into the sky. The kid is hooked. 

Also, I have been posting pictures more frequently to facebook and will probably conclude this blog when Isaac turns three at the end of August. So, if we aren't already facebook friends, shoot me a friend request and you can keep up with pictures there.

 

This and that

Painting en plein air - a new favorite activity

 

Idolizing Eleanor : )

Trying to share Eleanor's stage

Learning new tricks

The Fly

 

The Fourth

We had a fantastic time with the Paris clan at a neighborhood parade. Isaac was over the moon - almost three must be the perfect age for parades.

Flag waving and tongue wagging

Lots of pointing to make sure the girls didn't miss the things he thought were "brilliant"

 

Taking a quick break with Lawren to refuel

And another break for sweets

Some spontaneous joyful singing

An Isaac sandwich. And, Leah, rocking a sweet lid

Still ridiculously proud of this cake : )

Apparently, I can't keep up lately. The summer is going too fast as is our almost 3-year-old. Here is a smattering of Isaac's recent activities.

Exploring Oxbow Park with Ry

Making his "happy summer" face

Blowing bubbles with Grandma Judie

Stomping in fountains with his gal pal, Elah

Rocking out with the Raspones

Performing his solo show with his makeshift microphone. Kid is nuts.

Icecream Men

 

Oceanside : )

 

 

 

Wild Weekend

Isaac's weekend combined his two current favorites, rock-n-roll and rock tossing.

Here he is at the Alphabeticians' CD release party. Notice he had to bring along his guitar. 

But he quickly ditched it for this sweet set of strings.

Then we made it out to Sauvies Island for a walk to the little beach. It took Ika about two second to take off his shoes and socks and get in the water.

And, it took him about two seconds more to strip down for some skinny dipping.

Thankfully he agreed to don his clothes again for the walk back to the car.

All about the strap

Isaac's grandma Gigi made him a guitar strap. He is in heaven.
