Mia and Maggie's long lost friend

So my sister has 2 cats. They are the typical cat. They like to have fun, get in trouble, eat the occassional mouse or bird, make Jennifer sneeze, and steal little Naughty's breath... but they have nothing on this cat. Count the number of toes on this cat.

Sadie and Isaac

so Isaac finally noticed Sadie. We keep Sadie away from most of the house, mainly because of her disgusting hair that sheds all over. We want to be neat and clean people. We are trying anyway.
But the other day I gave Isaac some doggy time. He loves her now. He lunges at her now.

by the way, see how strong he is?

Pictures from V Day

Grandpa and Grandma came over and gave Isaac a balloon for Vday. The last 2 pictures were taken 4 seconds apart. Seems like Isaac is like his uncle Zach, he falls asleep so quickly.

Someday he will fall asleep under the coffee table in his tuxedo

Isaac and his exersaucer

Isaac loves his new toy. It's a Valentine's Day present from his parents.

He can't jump on it though. It's not a walker.

He loves it, but it sure did tire him out.

He cant wait for his cousins Natalie and Caleb to come play.

Isaac and Uncle Benny

Daddy's friend Uncle Benny came out to visit. I love uncle Benny and his brother Caleb. I played with them. I don't know where they went. I miss them.

come back uncle Benny come back.

Top 5 QB of all time

Here is the list of top 5 QB of all time.

Dan Marino, Brett Favre, John Elway, Johnny Unitas, Joe Montana

Next 10
Dan Fouts, Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Jim Kelly, Bart Starr, Otto Graham, Keith Kermicle.

(not in any particular order, just a grouping)

Criteria: Cannot judge a QB on super bowl victories. Football is a team game, and the playoffs are a crapshoot. Anything can happen, bad weather, turnovers, injuries...and so on.

so my criteria is on total wins, TD passes, yards, and intangibles.

Marino and Favre are over 100 TD passes more than Elway, who is 3rd all time. Marino and Favre have more completions, yards, attempts than anyone else. Elway, Marino, and Favre are all neck and neck for most victories ever. Of course, Favre should pass them by next year.

We are also very aware of Mr. Manning's pace to shatter all of Favre's records. But we will allow time to pass by to see how he does.

This is a huge topic of conversation lately with the Super Bowl and the announcement of Favre's return. Reason for post is I was upset that "professional" announcers were shrugging off Favre as being in top 5 because of his interceptions. The stats tell it all. Favre, top 5 of all time.

HE'S BACK

and all of Minnesota shivers

NFL and the church

NFL PARTY RULES
For groups that want to host Super Bowl parties -- other than sports bars and businesses that normally show televised sports -- here are rules the NFL says must be followed:
• No admission fees (even to pay for snacks).
• Only one television (55 inches or smaller).
• No use of the words "Super Bowl" in promotional materials.
• No exhibition of the game in connection with events "that promote a message."
www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007702010431
The problem I have is the last one. The NFL doesn't want anyone to promote a message. What in the world is the message that the NFL is selling? Beer? Sex? Greed? Look at the advertisements on Sunday. That is the message the NFL is sending to the American public.

So we are using the "BIG GAME" on Sunday as an opportunity for a get together where teens can invite their friends. At halftime, we have a video of football players sharing their faith. But the NFL says we can't do that. Instead, we have to watch Prince, and have his message shoved down our throats. I don't think so mr NFL. You can't make us watch Prince and his sexual messages to us. So we will show our video on a 44 inch screen, not charge any money, and we aren't using the words "SUPER BOWL" in promotional materials. But the message? Sorry NFL, we are attacking your SEX MONEY BEER message with a message of hope, love, grace in Jesus Christ.

Isaac's friends from church

Isaac is the official mascot of Preakness Bible. He has a lot of friends in the church. Here is a few. Just wait, in a few years the girls will be gross. But now, he loves them all.

Music is so important

We want Isaac to be well rounded. Part of his training and upbringing will be on making a joyful noise unto the Lord.

Baby in a Manger

I do not believe that Mary could have delivered a 18lb baby. I don't believe Jesus came into the world via C-section in the manger, with a couple of donkeys and camels or pigs helping Joseph deliver the baby. But here is Isaac, filling the role of Jesus as an infant. It's amazing to know that our Savior came into the world as a little baby, humbling himself. But the biggest humiliation was when He died on the cross for our sins, and was raised on the 3rd day to give us salvation. The Son of God dying for me and you, so whoever believes in Him will be saved. What a glorious thought!

Hard to find a good babysitter

So we went to Wal-Mart, and grandpa Records was babysitting. We thought Isaac was in good hands....but little did we know that he was in the hands of a sinister prankster. Actually, grandpa didn't know which way to put the playpen. So he just put him in this way. We came home to Isaac looking straight up and scratching the side with his fingers. Isaac keeps asking me why he was sleeping on the wrong side of the playpen. To be determined if he needs counseling. But we will give grandpa another chance. Someday

4 Generations at Christmas time

Isaac loves his great grandparents.

New Sheriff in town

So Isaac's great uncle is a sheriff, and a fine sheriff at that. He is a Godly man and a good sheriff. We love our Uncle Bob. Hopefully we can visit them someday, and he can show Isaac how to lasso. Isaac thinks that is the coolest thing.

Extended Family

Here are some pictures of some cousins with Isaac

6 months old

Isaac turned 6 months old today. As you can see, he is developing quite a personality.

Grumpy Young Men

Someone is getting some new teeth. Usually the little guy is always smiling and having a good time, but right now he is in some discomfort. We are praying that at least one of his new teeth will come out with a gold cap on it, just like his uncle C.

Baby Switch

Here is a scene from Christmas, when it was time to leave, there were many tears shed. We were all balling like a little dolly, becuase we didn't know what to do. We didn't know when we would see each other again. And then the unthinkable occurred, the dreaded baby switch. Yes, Wild Isaac and Naughty Natalie look so much alike, that we didn't even know that they were switched. Here are some pictures of how that happened.

Grandma Dollie

Here is Grandma, in all her "earthly" glory, holding both of her grandkids at the same time.

She can't wait until next Christmas, when she will hold all 3 at the same time....

until Isaac starts hitting again
