Thailand Bangkok East Mission: Isaiah turns FOUR!!!

Isaiah, my little night in shining armor, turned four. I can't believe he is getting so big. He is such an amazing kid. He brightens my day, everyday. He absolutely loves life, and loves to laugh. He is always teasing Mckayla & Seth, just so he can laugh. I have a feeling he is going to be a little jokester when he is in school, but he also has a sensitive side as well. At times his sensitive side can take his toll on me (crying because I looked at him with those eyes that say I am not very happy with what he has just done, or crying because I sit him in time out). Matt says things like " We need to toughen him up, he is a boy!" I love that he has this soft side, and I hope he stays this gentle and sweet when he is all grown up. Most of all I love that he is a mommy's boy. I know that is bad, but deep down inside I hope that he never lets go of that. He loves to snuggle me, be by me, he loves to do everything with mom, except cheer for the Utah State Aggies. He reserves that for Dad. Go bucks is what he always tells me. He is a buckeye fan thru & thru, and I can guarentee he has no idea what that means. He just loves the bucks, because dad does.

Isaiah loves anything that deals with a Knight, mainly a sword. He has now aquired at least six or more swords, and is always asking for more whenever we are at the store. He loves the color red, because that is what color the buckeyes are (go figure). He loves candy, and asks me at least once a day "mommy can I have a candy for being so good". His favorite candies are skittles & m&m's. He loves to watch TV, and I truly have to ration TV, because he could watch it most of the day. Of course he loves any show that has a sword in it. He also loves the book of mormon stories, especially the ones with swords in it. His favorite food is Taco's. We had a conversation the other day that went as follows:

Isaiah- "Mom do you think we could go to Taco Bell today?"

Mom- "Maybe, I guess we can."

We get to the drive up and he says "did you order me the taco mom?"

I say "yes I did mister".

He then says, "mom you can call me MISTER TACO, because I love taco's so much!"

I love this little boy! He loves to be a big brother, and helps keep an eye on his little brother Seth. He absolutely loves his big sister, and is always wanting to be wherever she is. He is your typical boy, he loves to run, play outside, jump on the tramp, swim, and sword fight!

Here are pictures of his special day.

Here's the birthday boy!

Isaiah chose to have lunch at Chic-fi-le so they could play in the play area. We celebrated his b-day at lunch b/c dad was going to have to work late. So Isaiah opened his gifts and blew out his candle at lunch.
