Okay.... time to reveal

http://dawn.oharafamily.ca/

my lovely hubby has decided that there has to be a better and easier way to go about blogging then blogster. I kept telling him i was quite happy with how it was working for me....

but he decided to make his own blog on wordpress and link one for me too.
let me say its not that easy! Its taken me a good week to get a template and to try to figure out how to add photos and videos to my post (doh!)

good news is that Aaron was able to export ALL the posts from here so that you won't miss a thing.

Keep in mind to bear with me for a few more weeks until I work out all the kinks....

but here is the new link

and of course Aaron can be found here:

Movies Before Bed

He likes to watch Laurie Berkner Video's sometimes before we get ready for bed



Visiting Hammie Before Bed

He likes to lay on his tummy and watch Hammie running around.
He is sooo cute! (so is Hammie)



50% Daddy and 50% Mommy

A perfect blending mix
Here he is on the laptop (at only 24months) and guiding it like a pro!
Of course i have on a paint program and am trying to teach him how to "paint" on the screen, showing he does have a bit of Mommy's creativity too

Little Student




I really hope he grows up loving to learn

Craft of the Day - School Bus Craft (Part 2)

we had a stock pile of toilet paper rolls, i noticed that they fit perfectly into an egg carton.... so.... why not make some people (and animals) to drive in his bus















I love my little Boy!

how could you not love him

Craft of the Day - Fish Craft

and i've noticed these days he uses his left hand the majority of the hand... maybe he'll be left handed?






A Fall Fashion Show

We got some second hand Gymboree clothes REALLY cheap from a friend. We only paid $30 (plus shipping) but to buy it brand new (real calculation) it is $229.25!!!! so um ya STEAL of a DEAL! Isaiah's friend has tons of clothes and only wore each item a couple of times so its all in really really really good condition.

its all 18-24 most of it is big on him now except 2 of the overall sets (which are the newborn layette lines which run small) so by fall they should fit pretty good I'd think. The 2 layette overall sets will still work (we have shirts that should work with the overalls in a size bigger) as the pants are still a tad long (overalls are the greatest as he can wear them much longer then anything else!)

My kid just has really long arms!!

anyways we put together a fashion show to show her.... its amazing how different the clothes look on him then his friend! Personal character makes all the difference!


This is from the Holiday Express line (still a little big when he's not sitting he's tripping)
Isn't he adorable! a little conductor!!
The newborn layette line... Fly with me
All Star Football (A must have for Daddy)
Another All Star Football (just the shirt, i just pulled out these pants from his drawer)
the shirt says "little lineman" and has a hood in the back
Another All Star football shirt
(we also have an orange one from this line that has a football and says MVP stowed away)

and a sweater to match also from the All Star Football line.
He wasn't too thrilled at putting a warm sweater on
(its huge at the moment.... good thing his arms grow soooo fast)
Monkey's of course! a hoody from the Global Surf Line
The other Newborn layette set.
this set was 2 different lines, the shirt (super super cute... has a yellow car on the front which says "muscle man") which is from the Muscle Man Line and the overalls are from the Turbo Charged Line.
wow we are set for fall.... still have a few other outfits (and a couple more things purchased from another June Mommy friend) so we are Good to Go!!

Look What I Got

One of his friends (and Mommy) knows how much Isaiah loves monkeys... she sent saw this Monkey sign at a store and had to get it for him! She sent it all the way from the states!!! Thank you Natasha and Wildman.... Isaiah loves it!!!

This is what being a parent is all about



we've been praying before supper and before bed. Usually i hold his hand together for him. Well the other day i asked him if he wanted to pray. Here is what i got!
he does it every time i ask him to pray and it melts my heart every time. I know God has plans for Isaiah whether big or small. I feel honored to help him along his journey and see how he grows.

Out again

Family BBQ with friends

well not so much BBQ but we hung out on the patio and the kids ran around playing. We didn't BBQ per say but ordered in sushi instead (kids had a selection of various fruits, crackers, goldfishies and bagel sandwhiches). Of course the guys were into RAW fish (ewwwwwwwwwwwww) but... the cucumber, veggie, fried yam and chicken were all to die for ... YUM!!
