BIG Brother!!

We are all doing great and having alot of new and interesting experiences with where we live. Isaac is keeping very busy with school, but if he is home we are very happy!

I was trying to do something different with his hair this day, it didn't really work.

Kason loves books! He has some of his own and we go to the library and get about 15 new ones every few weeks.

Multiple times a day he will pull them all off the shelf and look at them all and come tell me what he sees. He loves it and I love it!

He will be a great big brother! Yes, we are having another BaBy! We are excited. The due date is May 12. So that makes me almost 11 weeks along, or I like to say a little over 2 1/2 months. Although I am pretty much scared to death of being pregnant and having the baby while Isaac is in this first year of grad school and gone all the time, we are definitely super excited. I am also excited to feel better, which will hopefully happen soon. This pregnancy, so far, has seemed a little different than with Kason and that makes me wonder if it is a girl. I don't want to speculate yet, but I can't help wondering. And I definitely wasn't showing at this time with Kason! The doctor is doing an ultrasound at the next visit and I am hoping there aren't two babies in there! We are excited and wanted to share the good news!

DaNCinG and the oFFicE

Kason has really been liking this little video we have lately about animals and singing. It's pretty much the only thing he will watch. He has started doing his own kind of dancing. He usually bends his legs up and down alot and tries to jump. The day I recorded this, though, he was doing more running/dancing. He turned 19 months old a couple days ago and is growing up so fast and talking so much! He is always making us laugh in the little things he says and does.

Also, Isaac officially started all of his classes and teaching assignments this week. eek! He is teaching 3 classes. I think it is going to be pretty intense! He has an office he shares with another guy. So here is a picture of his home away from home.

It has been a little while. We have been keeping busy and enjoying Isaac being around before all his classes start. He has a math final this week and then all of his classes start on Monday. There are so many fun parks here. This is a really fun one called Skinner Butte Park (thanks Callie). It made Isaac and me wish we were kids! They had tons of different kinds of playground epuipment, water stuff, and this castle looking set up. Kason loved it.
We also went to a parade a little while ago. It was a fun parade. The little paragraph about it says it shows the diversity of Eugene. So, here we have the nudist colony.
And here is this guy, in a belly dancer- genie outfit. The theme was "I Dream of Eugenie" He was right behind the lesbian choir group.
And yesterday Isaac tried to be a Duck fan at the Oregon, BSU football game. He got all decked out in green and yellow. Kason happens to have a green and yellow shirt so he wore that. (although Kason and I didn't go-the student section is a little too crazy) Unfortunately, Oregon didn't have such a great game.
We are doing good. It amazes me everyday how smart Kason is and how much he is growing up!

Motorcycles, Cars and Basketball

We decided to take a great deal and buy Isaac a motorbike. He has been looking for and wanting one for a long time. Since we are in the process of selling a car we are planning on the motorcycle being very helpful since it gets great gas mileage and Isaac will be able to drive to school and back and find parking easily. Kason and Isaac both love it, and I even tried it out in a parking lot one night.

Kason wearing the helmet, or hat as he likes to call it.

We also got this car for $3. Kason loves it and is always crawling into it on the patio.

Kason Loves BasKeTbaLL. Sometimes, when we go to parks (and there are TONS of them here) he will skip the slide and the climbing stuff and make a bee line for the basketball hoops saying ball, ball. So, for $2 (I love garage sales!) we got this hoop for him. He is very excited about it and plays it ALL day. He learned to say "batketbawl" within an hour of getting it.

Kason was 18 months this past week so we took him to nursery today. Hallelujah!!! They actually asked me to be in there and help today, so I didn't leave him. That will be next week and I think he will be just fine and not even care that I am gone. Isaac starts school on Wednesday. We are excited, but nervous about how it will be!

Anniversary

Today is our 3rd Anniversary!!! I am so grateful to have spent 3 years with Isaac and am glad there are so many more to come! I can't imagine life any other way. I love you Isaac!

Brittney tagged me for 6 un-spectacular quirks

1. Every night, without fail, I check the sheets as I climb into bed to make sure there are no spiders in them. This is because one time while sleeping in a sleeping bag a spider crawled up and down my leg multiple times before I realized what it was.

2. I am not the biggest fan of animated movies. This sometimes makes Isaac and Kason sad.

3. I like to pick up the house before I go to bed for the night. (although this doesn't always happen)

4. I think I stress out really easily

5. I have a hard time making decisions. Whenever I have one that is really hard for me to make I write out the pros and cons for each, but they always turn out equal.

6. I prefer back massages to back scratches

We Are HERE!

Well we have made the big move to Oregon! We did the drive in two days. Isaac's family helped us move and we definitely owe them a big thank you! I feel really far away though!We are all unpacked and have hung pictures and are just trying to get settled. I am glad the unpacking part is over, I am not a fan of packing or unpacking! We like our apartment, although it is very small. But, we managed to fit for the time being. We live right by a big playground so that will be really nice for Kason. He already cries at the door to go outside to it. And my favorite thing is that we have a big (for an apartment) fenced in patio out our back door. And I am very happy to say that it has not rained a drop since we have been here. In fact, it has been very sunny and nice. Yay!

I have never lived in a city this big and that is going to take some getting used to. There are tons of trees here. And while it is very pretty, sometimes I just want them to be pushed down so I can SEE. There are also alot of one way roads. I don't get them at all. What is the advantage of one way streets?! They just seem to add confusion and stress to driving!

We went to the campus and looked around. We didn't realize what we had at BYU-I!! Just the atmosphere and the way it is kept up is really good there. It seems a little older here. But, we got to see where Isaac will have his office and classrooms.

So we are starting to adjust. It kinda seems like we have just been on vacation here, it doesn't feel like home.

We got to go do some fun things while Isaac's family was here. They have beautiful parks with tons of trees and it is just green everywhere. We also went to the coast. I have decided to call it the coast instead of the beach, it is just more fitting. The water was a little chilly and it got foggy while we were there, but it was nice and fun. It was cool to see the ocean and then the forest right next to each other. It is its own kind of beautiful. Although, I miss the warm brown mountains. Here are some pictures:
