Buzz Lightyear

Cole's teacher has this fun little project she does each year with her kids.  This Buzz light year doll is passed around the class so each kid gets a turn taking Buzz home and showing him what they do after school. Then the kids write about it in a book and draw pictures or have their Mom's take pictures of what they did.  Then they return the book to school.  Well it was Cole's turn.  His teacher said " Cole are you ready to take Buzz home. " "NO" he said.  He did not want  to do it.  I talked to his teacher tonight at the A.R. reading they have for the first graders.  She said this is the first time ever any of the kids have said no.  The kids in his class couldn't believe he didn't want to either.  I am still trying to figure it out.  Cole got in the car after school and said.  I hate Buzz he is wimpy. But he brought him home anyway.  He read stories to him played computer games and let buzz help him bring in wood.  He even drew a picture of him.  He seemed to enjoy doing it but wouldn't admit it. He refused to take him to the A.R. reading night.  He did not want to be seen in public with him and still claims Buzz is wimpy .  Is it possible to  hit adolesence seven years early.  Oh boy!

THE BIGGEST ISAACSON FISH

Tyler's Pike

So maybe this should have been the hunting 

fishing blogspot.  This seems to be the only 

activities the nuthouse people know how to do. 

Tyler and corey insisted that I post these pictures 

taken during the summer of 2007  in Beaver at 

grandpa and grandma Marchant's house.  Uncle Kurt

had some sweet connections and set the boys up with

a fishing experience to remember.  They caught these 

on a friends pond in Beaver. 

                 ICE FISHING

              with the Isaacson troop

We were invited to ice fish on a lake of a really good friends. 

It was a beautiful sunny day around 40 degrees and if it 

weren't for the wind it would have been perfect.  The kids 

were in heaven and even though it was bitter cold from 

the wind Tyler, Corey and Cole did not once stop to come 

and get warm in the car.

Cole's 17" rainbow trout.

Tyler's 21" tiger trout.

Abbie was a great little fisherwoman and her 

patience paid off she caught a whopper.

Jared fishing!  Jared had more fun rolling in the snow doing summersaults and reeling in his line. Jason finally just gave up trying to help him catch a fish he was more interested in reeling in the line.

Whoa!!  I know what you are thinking "where can I get a  sweet looking camo suit just like that one."  Well it is one of a kind and warm too.  I'm sure everyone will be rushing out to find one just like it.  My fishing trip was of course wrestling Lyndie and trying to keep her warm.  So I stayed with Lyndie in the car most of the time.  It was much warmer there and I am not one for cold and windy weather and neither is Lyndie.   Thank goodness I was not a Pioneer.

Lyndie did what she does best (sucked her fingers, rubbed her doll's hair and fell asleep)

We have found if she has a doll with hair around she doesn't have to pull mom's out.  She has two dolls she loves and she's holding them both in this picture. She not quite a fisherwoman yet. 

   Free make over any one

Yet another moment of silence in the Isaacson house. 

I found Jared and his buddy Porter in my bathroom

in my makeup.  I am not sure what they were trying 

to do but they had some funny looking mustache things

going on afterwards. Yikes!

Marker Madness

If you were every wondering what someone would look like after eating a black marker well there you have it.  I love Lyndie. Why do I always worry when there is silence in our home?

At least the marker was nontoxic and washable. I am not sure about the taste but this is not the first marker consumed by Lyndie so maybe that tells you something. 

I found some beautiful artwork on the kitchen wall 

and floor as you can see life is never dull in the

Isaacson household.

Thank goodness for Magic Rub erasers! 

           Story time with Dad

The kids love Jason to read to them because he does crazy things like read the story backwards or make up his own strange version.  

NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING ON THE

                         BED!

                          

Jared was jumping on our bed and rammed his face into the board that goes across our window. He hit so hard that his nose swelled up  and he got two black eyes.  We put ice on it much to his dismay, but it helped the swelling some.  So this is why they say no more monkeys jumping on the bed.  Ouch!
