My birthday

I ordered a feather calligraphy pen with a Fleur de lis on it!It will be here on Saturday. I also had my birthday on the 21st.It was awesome! My mom ordered me a stamp for sealing letters for my birthday and then showed me the website where she got it. So, I ordered  my feather. For my birthday I got a cool book, a stamp, my scout stuff, and some soap. - Isaac

Student of the year

This is my first post, so I have almost no idea what I am doing. So, I got Student of the Year yesterday and that means I had a good attitude, came almost always to Martial Arts class, and worked very hard. When I got it, I thought I was dreaming. Yesterday was the best day of my life! I also went to a brother in our ward's house to make a belt rack before I got Student of the Year. I thought maybe if I ever get Student of the Year  I could  put my trophy on it! Surprise, surprise. I got it! That ends my first post. - Isaac

An Imagination, At Last

Our left brained, rule following, has to be first boy has a new passion: being a dog. He is a very fast, loud dog, of course. He has even asked to eat his food like a dog. Ordinarily, I might have considered it. Of course he asked about 10 minutes before we were leaving for church and he was already dressed in his suit and tie. Fancy attire for a little dog =)

Neglected

Since Rebekah's fall, Isaac has been a bit neglected. He seems to be handling it well and has really stepped up to the plate. He is starting to take the time to show Rebekah how to do things and to help her along. he is still mister 'Must-Be-First", but he is learning. He has matured into eye rolling and glaring. He loves rules and asks questions from morning til night. I told him he has to start writing down some of his questions so I can look up the answers at night. He doesn't seem to keen on that idea. It is strange to think that he is 2 months younger than the youngest student I ever taught. So old. He has recently inherited his cousins old bike and now, look out, here he comes. He spent most of the time camping with his 'safety' on so he could hop on and ride at any time.

I am a Big Kid Now!

Isaac had some very exciting things happen this month. At church he had his first Activity Day, he gave an opening prayer with all of the Primary Children, and then today he gave his very first talk!!!! The topic was the Restoration of the Gospel. Isaac choose to talk about how Prophets have been restored. He helped write it on Saturday night and practiced 4 times. When he got up to do his talk, he was able to say the whole thing with only the first word or 2 of each sentence. It was amazing!
Another great big kid thing was he spent the night at Drake's house. Upon arrival, he skipped and jumped into Drake's house with a casual wave bye to Mom. Kindergarten will probably be a breeze.

Bubbles

Isaac would like to know what a bubble body is made out of. He understands that air in on the inside, but wants to know what is on the outside. Chemicals is the best answer Mommy has, but any help is appreciated=)

Activity Day

Today was Isaac's very first activity day at church. He was concerned before the event started when about 30 children were running around playing tag and running up and down the stairs. He wanted them to stop running and to be nice. He seemed like a normal sunbeam who doesn't have older siblings and has never been allowed to run amok. They celebrated Mother's Day by singing about helping Mommy and how much they love her. Then, they made a beautiful card. Their final activity consisted of lots of games: Mother May I, Red Light Green Light, Throw the Ball Through the Hoop, and Freeze Tag. So when Daddy asked Isaac about the activity day and what he did, Isaac enthusiastically responded with, "We played freeze tag!"
