Isaac at the shore!!!

Today was the first day of our Jersey Shore vacation. The morning started out with a trip to the park by Isaac, his cousins Taylor and Sarah, and Adam of course. The plan was to spend the afternoon at the beach. Plans changed quickly when Isaac decided to face plant on a bed frame. We then spent the next several hours at in the emergency room getting Isaac's head fixed up. He was a really trooper, there were a few tears right after he fell and then again when the cleaned and glued his forehead. So our week at the shore will be spent trying to keep Isaac out of the sun and his head dry :-)

Fell off the face of the earth...

It as officially been forever since I have posted anything, but I promise that we did not fall off the face of the earth ;-) Everyone in the Zima household is doing well. Isaac is more amazing then ever! He is becoming more of a little boy everyday. As much as I miss his babyhood, I am loving toddlerhood(stubborn tantrums and all!!!) Isaac is talking up a storm. Some if his favorite words are why, walk, hotdog and ball. Just this week he started saying Isaac when you ask him what his name is. He loves everything that is sterotypical boy stuff...basketballs, baseballs, his lacross sticks, dirt, rocks, sand, sticks, the dogs, running, jumping(off of things...not good). Everyday ends with a very dirty, tired little boy.

Sorry for the lack of pictures, once again I have let my camera battery die...to the charger it goes...I promise.

One last thing...the biggest reason for the lack of postings is not because the camera isn't workingor because we have a busy toddler, it is because for the last few weeks I have been busy growing Isaac's new little brother or sister!!! Good thing the outcome is so amazing because this whole pregnancy thing sucks!!! Our new addition should be here at the end of the year.

Isaac dancing

Aunt Laura posting again. Last weekend Lindsey, Adam, and Isaac were in Virginia for a friend's wedding.

Isaac did some dancing to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the TV:




It was a good distraction while Adam and Lindsey were gone for the wedding.

Finally...after weeks of not having a working camera(charger got lost at some point, somewhere???) It is chargered and ready!!! Here are some recents pictures...

The new sand table grandma and poggie sent...THANKS!!! (pay no attention to the junk in the background, our yard could use a serious spring clean up)


Isaac and his branch cell phone.
The sand table is great...but a half empty bag of playsand is preety cool too.
I gave Isaac a hair cut yesterday, his was just making use he looked good!
Isaac and I spent easter week visiting Virginia. It was a nice trip with the exception of Isaac being sick all week. It started with a fever, vomitting, coughing, wheezing, etc and ended with a double ear infection. He is on the mend, but still on antibotics and an inhalor...1 years and inhalors...not a fun combo. I pretty much have to pin him down and be very quick, its tramatic for all parties invovled. Or I'll sneak it in while he's asleep!!!

Spring Break in Virginia

(This is Aunt Laura posting)

Isaac and Lindsey came to Virginia for Lindsey's spring break.

Isaac and Lila got their picture taken with the Easter Bunny.


He also found Grandma's Mickey shopping bag.



G.G. and Pop-pop visited for an early Easter dinner a day early.


The Easter Bunny visited late on Easter.


Isaac helped do some yardwork at my house.

He had a lot of fun hanging out with Lila.


Here he is, checking to see if her first teeth have come in - almost!

One simple fix?

So last weekend we decided to replace the counters in our kitchen. (I ordered new laminate counter tops at least two years ago. They have been sitting our our warehouse ever since.) We ended up having to cut the drywall and back splash to get the counters in. Since we were patching the wall and back splash, we decided to repaint the wall and tile the back splash. We also got a new sink. I have new hardware for the drawers and I want to repaint the cupboards. Depending on how the tiling goes I might also tile the floors. I am tired just thinking of all the work that still needs to be done!!! Here are some pictures of the work done so far.

having so fun

Isaac was looking for something to do while I was busy doing the dishes. So I set him up next to me so he could do some dishes of his own.

Isaac loves the train he got for Christmas!!! He still needs a bit of help to get on, but once there...he is off!!! The outfit he is wearing is from Aunt Laura...it has been sitting in his drawers for months, I keep passing it by thinking it is still too big. Guess what...it isn't too big anymore. He is growing up so fast!
