Isaac and I went over to see my bestfriend Amy’s day old son, Ethan Michael Dover today. Isaac was talking non-stop about him all the way there, and then when we got there he was very quiet and not sure about it all, until Ethan stuck his tongue out which he thought was hilarious. Ethan is so darling and I’m so excited for Isaac to have a baby of his own to hold soon.

Valentines Day came early at the Wright house. After lots of searching for deals, Geoff and I finally purchased some long awaited tickets to the beautiful island of Oahu! Geoff has never been before, and I’ve been dying to return (I went to BYU Hawaii for a year and a half). We’re going in April, which means I will be quite pregnant, and therefore you wont be seeing any swimsuit shots of me on the blog at our return, so just invision me as the large rock on the sand in the picture, because that is what I will look like (but maybe not quite as dark). Geoff’s sister graciously offered to watch Isaac for us which we are so grateful for and hope he is an extra good boy. I’ve pretty much never been more excited, get me out of the bitter cold of Utah!

Here are some pictures courtesy of Amy F. from Isaac’s birthday party. We had a great time at his mini get-together with Livi, Estee, Bella and cousins Eliza and Sarah. Isaac was really excited about his train cake and helped me make trains out of candy to send all the girls home with the night before. All I heard was “choo-choo” for a full day. Isaac was also very proud of telling everyone how old he was with his fingers. What a lucky mom I am to have such a happy, funny and loving little boy!

This was the site I came in to see last night. What a character he is! Licorice in his mouth (his potty bribery of choice) and book in hands! Though he has yet to actually be successful, we’re hoping the routine does the trick. Pictures from his birthday party to come soon.

Geoff surprised BOTH Isaac and I on Isaac’s birthday with ordering two mini turtles from Florida. Since I’m not a big fan of things of that nature, Geoff has agreed to be their guardian. Isaac loves watching them in their tank, but isn’t keen on touching them when they are brought out. When we asked Isaac what their names were, it truly sounded like he said Harry and Harriet, so those are their names. One is very active and the other seems, well, she might not be with us much longer…

So Isaac really has been 2 since Christmas day, but we decided we wanted him to have his own special day, so we’re celebrating it tomorrow, January 25th. Knowing that I’m going to be running around all day tomorrow, I tried to get a picture of him today. I got some cute smiling ones towards the end of our quick jaunt outside-but downloaded them and my lens had fogged over. This blasted cold weather!! I love this one though. His eyes on the large version are to die for…I may be biased though.

I had the privilege of taking pictures of my very best friend Amy and her family today at my house. Amy is due next week with a little boy. Doesn’t she look great! More pictures can be found at: http://msed.byu.edu/ipt/wright/dovers/

Here’s my little Isaac in his darling cape that his aunte Elise made him. There is an “I” on the back, but I didn’t get a shot of it. Sadly , I didn’t have my camera on the appropriate settings and so I didn’t get any very good ones of him jumping up and down in it. Too bad, he looked real cute. Thanks Amy F. for a delicious, and much needed Lunch Group!

Yep, it’s minus an item, which means…GIRL! It’s funny that just about everyone who made a guess said girl, and Geoff and I both had no clue (though my pick before the ultrasound was a girl let the record show). We’re super excited and just hope she’s as cute as Isaac. Let the pink shopping begin.

Geoff took Isaac out to play in the snow while he was shoveling Saturday morning. Well of course he wanted to help out, so Geoff let him shovel with him. I threw on some shoes for the photo opp. I’ve decided I kind of love over exposing my pictures which snow is great for.
