Amy told me to stop teaching Isaac to try and fit into the Dryer. She's just no fun... but I guess she might have a good point about safety and all :-)

So as you can see we had lots of fun at the Zoo, it's definitely the best thing in Houston! (right after the beach)

Getting to Know Houston Better

Can you see the giant Boa Constrictor? And the pic with Isaac sitting on the edge... he's pulling his Fishy Face for the camera!!

Things have been fun for us, We got a City Pass from the Larson Grandparents for Christmas and that gives us a pass to lots of fun museums and stuff in Houston. We went to the Aquarium last saturday, and then on MLK day we went to the Nasa Space Center. I have now completed my Space training, since I went to the Kennedy Space center in Florida with my family many years ago. I know everything about space now.

Isaac may have liked the Aquarium a little better, but he did show interest in the kids play place in the Space center. Too bad the big play ground was for kids 4 years and older. Someday ... it will be fun just letting him go and play with other kids in big playgrounds. Right now Isaac is too shy and he's more likely to get clobbered by big kids.

Isaac is doing better at nursery, I just found out that the big 3 year old kid who's most roudy is staying in Nursery another year. Rats! Hopefully either this kid calms down or Isaac grows up a little to deal with him. Luckily we have FANTASTIC nursery leaders and they really have done an amazing job in getting Isaac used to being without us for 2 hours. I for one am LOVING the ability to go to priesthood without a baby and being able sit and learn stuff! Amy has a new primary class.. they're older and slightly better, but still not as angelic as the downtown slc primary class she remembers.

Amy is doing very well in her pregnancy if you ask me. She doesn't puke much... on her bad days she feels wusey and tired and doesn't get half the stuff done that she wants to... but hey at least she's not puking right!!

Isaac is saying "bebe" often to Amy's belly and he likes to run up and kiss it alot. The baby kicked last night while I was talking to Amy, I think he likes me already. :-)

School is almost crazy. Work is piling up, and the Beard off Design Assignment is this SATURDAY

Well we're Houston now. Back home. Back where we belong, and very importantly, Isaac is back to Isaac's Bathtub.

And now he has new pirate toys.


















I needed to post this picture of Amy's Aunt Rachael's kitten. Her name is Bella. Bella means really Fat in spanish.


















Oh and last time we went to the grocery store here in Houston, Amy and I decided to spend some time in the drinks aisle. This is a tribute to the Las Vegas House where Amy's grandparents reside.

















Amy is now back and in Amy's kitchen creating Amy dishes. This was dinner. Yum!




















Amy is also growing. She's having a doctors appointment RIGHT NOW. I wonder what they'll learn about the baby?
















And as we continue to take pictures, eventually Isaac really really needs to see them. Here, Amy took a picture of Isaac and he wanted to see what it looked like so bad that he pulled a little tantrum and Amy took another picture.








Oh and Amy sent me a message today: "Hey Brad, our little Legolas is running around the house saying 'more door, mo door!" Maybe he's thinking about the Lord of the Rings do you think?"

Ah yes. Amy thought of that, and that's why I love her. :-)

Viva Las Vegas

Isaac loved the "dancing water". He couldn't stop saying "wow" over and over again. When it was all over he said, "more wawa"!

Isaac Scare

Being in Utah again has been so wonderful. Brad finally joined us last Thursday, and it's just so fun to see all of our family again. Isaac did however give us a bit of a scare yesterday morning. We were all trying to get ready and be to church by 9:00. I went into the bathroom to do my hair and make-up, and little Isaac followed me in. I noticed the hard tile floor was wet from showers, but was in a hurry, and didn't bother wiping it up. Big mistake with a toddler in the room! Pretty soon, i hear a scream and turn to see Isaac flat on his back. He'd slipped and in the process hit his head on the tile! I didn't think he hit his head all too hard, so i picked up my upset baby and walked out to the hallway to console him. He cried for a few seconds, then took a big breath. The kind of breath that you know a HUGE scream is going to follow. So as I was bracing my ears to be a little bit abused, instead of screaming, his whole body went limp! The poor little boy had passed out. It took me a few seconds to realized that he actually wasn't conscious anymore! Brad helped me realize it, and we went over to the couch to lay him down and try to get some blood to his head (thanks to Brad). He slowly came to again (after probably only a few more seconds, but it seemed longer) and seemed to be doing ok. He ate some banana, then wanted his grandma. We looked for signs of head injury or concussion, but seemed to be just fine in every way. So though-out the day we kept a close eye on him, but he's been his same old self! Looking back, I think he passed out from breathing in too much air rather then hitting his head. Funny thing though, on the way to church, he just completely ignored me. This worried me, but he'd respond just fine to Brad. Turns out, I think he must have just blamed me for the whole ordeal, and was holding a grudge! I got the cold shoulder from him until in the middle of the Sacrament, he decided to forgive me. He came over to my lap, and gave me about 10 very loud "mouh" kisses all over my face. I'm just so thankful that Isaac is good and healthy!

Utah Pictures for Brad. (and whoever else is interested)

Some of Isaac's favorite things. When Isaac goes down to sleep, he has to go through the house and say night night to a few things. First of which is the snow.

"muah no" (Kiss goodnight snow)

"muah tick tock"
and fun to play with
"muah tairs"!
Goodnight Isaac! Have a good nap :)

Solo

Now Isaac's in Utah, and I'm the one needing updates... I hope Amy does a post soon!

So far I'm getting much more C+ grades than I'd like. oh well, at least it's passing.
