Isaac's Year in Review. Talk about "Living the Good life!"

I went through our pictures since Isaac's birthday last year, and compiled some of my favorite pictures of Isaac and pictures of some of his favorite things to do. He s definitely a very blessed little boy and is loved very much.

 

 He is obsessed with trains and has been from day one.

In the last year he learnt his numbers and letters and loves pointing them out everywhere we go. He is especially fond of 8's and was hoping that he would turn 8 on his birthday instead of 5.

At the cabin last winter.

Always lining up the cars and his favorite bus is the leader.

Last Spring before church one Sunday.

This past summer he finally mastered the trike and also learned how to ride a bike with training wheels.



He did this for a short stint of time. Always made us laugh. If we said we had to go or that he couldn't do something he wanted to do he would slump over and say awwww...

Marshmallow roast at the cabin.

Isaac has thrown hundreds of rocks into the creek and lake at the cabin.

Aggie Days in Lethbridge last Spring. Isaac loves animals.

This cowboy might need a bigger horse next time.

This was a bucket to rinse feet, these two decided it was bath time and were trying to squeeze in together...made me laugh.

Isaac started a new school.

Afternoon Fall walks and naps.

Heartbreaker.

Big boy started catching the bus to school.

I'm still squeezing  these two into the bike cart.

January at the Leffers house

The 3 oldest snowshoeing on the trail behind our house. I recall it was pretty cold that day but they were driving me crazy in the house so I made them go out for 15 or 20 minutes.



Well I had a great idea to sign Isaac up for piano lessons and changed my mind after one lesson. 

Uncle Jamie came for an afternoon to visit us while he was passing through to Fort Mac. Hadn't seen him for a year and a half so it was great he looked us up and now knows where we live in Edmonton.

I'm not sure what sport they are playing here...part hockey/ part throw everything into the middle of the toy room. Cousin Brennan having a blast with the boys.

I've scored at the thrift store lately. I found this mini fooseball table brand new. The boys assembled it and have been having fun ever since.

When Daddy's not trading hockey cards or playing hockey with the boys he's doing Barbie's hair with Emma.

We went to Ken's cousin's place for the afternoon to skate on their pond. In between hockey and hot chocolate Isaac checked out the chickens.

Isaac counting pucks.

New year, new goals and back to working out.

Kids waiting for the bus.

Every Monday in January I took these two swimming at a different pool. Trying to find out the bus deal. For us three prices ranged from $23 to $13.

Had a few spring like days. This was Andrew's trike and has lasted through all our kids. Tonka brand. Grandpa did weld it back together once but that's pretty good quality.

Found a cute poofy pillow for Emma's room at the thrift store. $3.

We had a couple of new teachers from the school over for dinner one night. Potato salad, bacon wrapped asparagus and stuffed pork tenderloin. Yummy.

Just like old times in Coaldale. Street hockey. The boys have attracted  a couple boys in the neighborhood to play hockey with them after school most days. One boy is even in grade 7 and likes to play with them.

Joy is also a result of homemade cookies.



Movie night.

Mustache day at school.

Emma has weights too but usually only lasts for two minutes then it is on to changing clothes, putting hair clips in or crafting...
