This Week's Highlights

Best part of the week - playing on his new backyard slide ($2 find at a garage sale).


Cleaning with Dad - what a way to spend a Saturday morning.


T-ball with cousin Ethan - Isaiah seemed to enjoy the snacks more than the hilarious T-ball action. His time will come...



Waz up? - Isaiah hangs out by the dugout at Ethan's T-ball game.


Nice diaper job - Isaiah knows a bad diaper job and can undo a bad diaper job when he sees one.

Stingray Bay

This week, Isaiah got to spend some time at the zoo in the new Stingray Bay exhibit. You get to actually reach in the pool and touch the rays. Very cool.

Rainy Day

Isaiah loves playing outside so much. Last week when it rained all day, he sat in front of the window and just gazed sadly into the wet yard wishing away the rain. It was the cutest thing. It must of worked because the sun came out the next day.

Arena Football Night


Last night we went to our first ever Arena Football game, the Central Valley Coyotes. We went as chaperones for the Fresno Christian Sadie Hawkins Event. We had a great time. Isaiah got to get close and personal with the players near the field with Dad.

Spring Break Party Time

Spring Break 2007

Although Isaiah didn't spend the week in Cancun at the MTV beach house, the kid still found a way to make the most out of every moment of his Spring Break. From car rides to Disneyland to San Diego to Easter Egg Hunts, the wild little man sure knows how to live it up.

Can't start a road trip without shining up the wheels. Isaiah helps Dad wash the car, but ends up washing more of himself...


For a Trout/Tosland boy, there is not better road food that a nice juicy In'N'Out burger.



Bored to death during the long car ride, Isaiah finds ways to amuse himself (and his parents) by experimenting with new ways to use a pacifier.



Isaiah and Dad enjoy a ride on a Bug's Life catepillar ride. Isaiah really enjoyed all of the kid rides at Disneyland this time. He is just at the perfect age. He also enjoyed Disneyland junk food as evidenced by the chocolate chip cookie remnants on his face.



In San Diego, Isaiah takes some down time to play his cousin Ethan in a game of Dance Dance Revolution. These kids can get down.



Isaiah loved hanging out and chillin in his nana's new hammock swing.




Isaiah rocked his first official Easter egg hunt. He is an expert egg locator. This green egg was carefully and skillfully camoflauged in this planter. What a genius.



Isaiah shows off his Easter egg goods.



Another great Spring Break adventure - Isaiah climbs his first tree (with a little bit of help from Dad).



More time in the car. When will it ever end?



On Easter, Isaiah and Dad looked spiffy in matching Aloha shirts that someone forced them to wear (won't mention any names). After church, they hung out and played some Wii together. Aren't they the two cutest guys in the whole world? Heck yes!

Like Father Like Son

This week Josh and Isaiah both had a little too much fun, ending up with nice little head injuries. Isaiah crashed into a street light the other afternoon as we were taking a walk around the block. Josh crashed into an elbow as he was getting ready to dunk on someone the other night. Fortunately, only Josh had to have stiches. Isaiah just ended up with that nice airbag on his head. Look at these tough boys. Like Father Like Son.

Snack Attack


You know something is wrong when you hear 30 straight seconds of silence from a 1 year old. Isaiah got a little hungry, and mom forgot to close the pantry door. Not a good combo. Veggie Booty of all things. The kid could live off of it. At least it wasn't the bag of cheetos. Then he would really be in trouble. What a fun mess to clean up. All you can really do is grab the camera and laugh.

Seriously, how can you even get mad at a kid who walks around looking like this five minutes later?



The Fresno Zoo





For his birthday, Isaiah got the great present of an annual zoo pass from his Auntie Tiff, Uncle Doug, and cousins. We have had such nice weather lately, that we got to already start using it. Isaiah had a great time, especially in the petting zoo. He seems to be more interested in the animals hay than in the animals themselves. This will definitely become a new hang out place for us.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today, Josh turned the big 33. What an old man. We just sat around and watched football all day (Josh's ideal day). Isaiah enjoyed the day because his Grammy brought him his very first clown ice cream cone to celebrate Dad's birthday.

Josh and Isaiah... the two cutest boys in the world (no bias here)!

Isaiah and the Ladies


Isaiah the Ladies Man enjoys an afternoon hanging out with Julia and her friend Morgan. This was right after he got to watch his cousin Mason win an exciting wrestling match at school. We would have had pictures of the wrestling match, but it was so excited neither one of us even thought about a camera until it was over, Mason kicked buttee, and the ref was holding Mason's arm up as the winner. I wanted to yell "freeze" at the ref so I could capture the pic, but it just didn't happen. We'll get it next time.

Trout Fishing


Isaiah's New Fort

One of the coolest presents Isaiah got for Christmas came from Tiff, Doug and the kids. Its this really huge tent/fort thing that comes with 2 crawl tunnels, a tent, and a tepee. Its a really beautiful addition to our family room. Isaiah has been having a blast with it.

"You want me to crawl through THAT?"

"Hurry, hide in the tent, a bear is coming. Oh that's just Dad."

"Don't you just hate that wake up in the wilderness with bad hair kind of day?"

Poker Night

POKER
TIME!
Isaiah joined the party for our "Gap" girls poker night. He just walked around trying to steal our chips all night. We actually made it to the poker table this night (usually we just talk and eat in the kitchen). The house cleaned up the place after a little end of the night acey duecy. The best part of the evening was the return of one of our original Gap girls, Olivia (in the black). She is two weeks away from being a first time mama (eventhough you can't tell because she is still totally skinny). We kinda have a trend of having boys in our group, so we are looking forward to Olivia bringing a cute little future poker playing star girl into our group.

Christmas Light Cruise

On Christmas Night, we took Isaiah out cruising to look at Christmas lights. He loved it! There are some really great neighborhoods that really get into the Christmas spirit. It was a great new tradition.

Basketball Birthday Bash

Isaiah spent the night of his 1st birthday proudly watching his dad coach (and win) a great basketball game. The birthday boy definitely enjoyed all the attention he got.

Isaiah and Coach Andrea...


Isaiah cheering on the Eagles from the side court...

GO EAGLES!

Salon Tosland


Isaiah got his first haircut on his 1st birthday by his own personal stylist. We did just a trim, and he was very well behaved. He still has both his ears.


"Mom... I am not sure about this do..."

Its Party Time

We got to celebrate Isaiah's first birthday tonight with our family. It was a great evening of food, gifts, cupcakes, and smiles. Isaiah got some great gifts (as you can see below) and truly enjoyed his first real "sweet." He chowed down a whole cupcake with no problem. Looks like he has his mom's sweet tooth (I blame heredity). He had some birthday experts on hand to show him how to open presents (his cousins). He got some good practice for Christmas. By the end of the night, Isaiah was on cloud 9 smiling and loving every moment of his party. What an animal. We'll see how he does tonight with all that sugar pumping through his veins.













What an awesome kid! This year has been so great. What a blessing Isaiah has been to us. There have been some tough times, some sleepless times, some messy times, but each day has ended with us realizing how much better our life is now that Isaiah is a part of it.
Happy 1st Birthday Kid! And many more...
