Daddy's Helpers

TJ had to fix something on his truck today...and Isaiah was convinced Daddy needed his help! When TJ would grab a tool, Isaiah grabbed one, too! When TJ had to crawl under the tool box, Isaiah had to crawl under there, too!

And since the guys were out...why not get all the girls out there!!! Kiahna brought out iced drinks for "the working guys". Aliya eventually got her bike out and rode around for a while.

After working REALLY HARD with Daddy, we left Daddy to go on a walk in the field so that Daddy could actually finish the work. One thing's for sure...we have GREAT help at our house!

Dry Ice Experiment

One of the subjects we have been studying this year in school is astronomy. We have learned that comets are made of dry ice and chunks of rocks. We have also learned that Mars has a lot of dry ice on it. It's hard to really grasp the concept of dry ice unless you experience it...so that's what we did!

We put the ice chunk in some water. At first it really bubbled and "steamed". Then after about an hour, it quit steaming because there was frozen water all around it. We had to change out the water in the bowl and replace it with HOT water in order to get the steam going again. We had fun with it, and the kids are already asking when we can get some more!

Isaiah Turns Two!

On February 9, 2011, Isaiah turned 2 years old! We've known for some time now that he is not a baby anymore--now he knows it, too!!! On his birthday we were blessed to have another snow blizzard. We had to rearrange some things, but we were still able to have his party on Saturday. He had a blast! When it was time for his cake, we sang the song and re-lit the candle AT LEAST 3 times! We are so blessed to have Isaiah in our lives. He is a precious son.
