Starting Summer With a Road Trip!

Well, mini road trip anyway :) After getting the Jeep we had to try it out. So, on Memorial Day Sunday after breakfast we loaded up the kids and headed out the door with a map and no plan! It felt like the freedom I felt as a child during the summer with 100 acres of woods in the backyard and all day to play.

We put on a few hundred miles just driving this way and that, through farmlands and little towns. It was overcast, but the cloudy day added to that mellow lazy day feel. The type of day where you pop in a great cd and feel like you could just drive all day, so that's just what we did. :) We just drove!









When we were little, Dad always told us the big white thing was the Jolly Green Giant's golf ball, Daniel and I figured it was a weather station. That's not what we told Diana and Ellie though. ;)









There were so many people proudly displaying American flags!




Off the beaten path... a little bit :)


I love my hubby :)





Little one nibbling on lunch


Diana loved getting out to run!




Yummy lunch picnic!







Cool old buildings :)



Small town festivals...









Coffee break at Alterra :)





Hubby got a red eye coffee with a triple shot of espresso! Me, a latte :)






Coffee was the perfect end to a perfect day to a chilly summer day. The whole weekend was great and the best possible start to summer, I can't wait for the rest of the year!

Hello Four Door Family Jeep!

Yeah!!! We finally got a new vehicle! I FOUR DOOR family Jeep! Yup, that's right, we still own 2 Jeeps :) No mini vans for us, this family needs four wheel drive capabilities for all of our crazy insane outdoor rock climbing adventures! Or.. you .. know... the snow on the roads in winter. :)

We got our new Jeep The Friday over Memorial Day Weekend, what a blessing! God led us to just the right Jeep for us. It's everything we wanted and so much more. I wanted something with four doors and some trunk space and Daniel wanted...umm... lots of mechanical technical stuff. lol :) So here it is, the newest addition to the Isaac's household, our Jeep!

May 31, Happy Birthday Elsie Sue!



It's a happy birthday for the sweetest little baby bundle of joy, our little Ellie Belly is one today! One year ago the doctor handed us a little bundle of the cutest button of a baby we had ever seen. Even in those first few moments it was clear to us that she had a heart of gold and was a daddy's girl through and through!

Now, one year later, she still has the purest heart, the sweetest smile and loves her daddy! (and me too!) There are not words to describe what a gentle little sweetheart our Ellie belly is! One look into her deep blue eyes and you are captivated by the pureness of her tender little heart.

Here are a few words that describe our little Ellie Belly:

Sweetheart

Kind

Gentle

Shy

Sharing

Cuddle Bug

Joyful

Smiley

Silly

Playful

Inquisitive

Loving

These are just a few words to describe our little Else, but there are no words that even come close to describing how much we love her and how much she completes our little family. Her sweetness and loving little self blesses not only us, but all who come into contact with her. When you look into her eyes you can tell she came straight from heaven, her pureness of heart is evident and so precious. Oh little Ellie, we pray you always have a heart for the Lord and that your eyes are always fixed on Him. We love you Elsie and pray that God would continue to help you grow in sweetness and wisdom, we love you little Ellie!
