Busy, Busy Weekend!

Wow! We seem to keep having busy weekends! It is the only time that we can hang out with my family so we are on the road all weekend. As I posted earlier, it was Bradley Dylan's birthday so we partied all weekend. It was a lot of fun. On Sunday we went to the Steeplechase at the horse park in Lexington. It was a lot of fun. It was our first time going and we will go again next year. They had a kids area, and Jack Russel dog races that the kids loved. The weather was great and it was a really fun time. Cesar had drill all weekend so he missed out on a lot of fun. He did get to Hooters Sunday for dinner so he was happy with that!

Enjoy the pictures!

Happy 4th Birthday Bradley Dylan!

Today is my nephew's 4th birthday! He is just the best thing, in my opinion. I love his wonderful sense of humor and the way he comes out with the best sayings! He loves to make you laugh and likes to push the limits as far as possible. He is 100% boy and I love it. I love to call and listen to him talk. He is my favorite reason for driving all the way to Shelbyville. He makes me laugh on a daily basis. You are not supposed to have favorites, but I must admit he is mine! At least until Brady can read this blog! We celebrated with him all weekend! Friday we went to Incredible Dave's and had dinner and played games. Zachary went home with them and spent the night. Saturday he had a party at the Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen and Sunday we went to the Steeplechase in Lexington. It was a lot of fun. I took a lot of pictures and Kelly did too. I will post a slide show of them soon.

Happy Birthday Bradley Dylan, Sissa loves you to the moon and back! You are my heart and the best 4 year old that I know! Love you bunches!

Z's first baseball game!

I know it's been a long time since I have updated the blog! It's not easy when you are chasing after an extremely active 9 month old! You will have to scroll down and look at all the posts from today!

Yesterday Zachary had his first baseball game in Shelbyville. He is playing coach pitch this year and he did awesome! He had two great hits and a really good stop. Of course his entire cheering section was there to cheer him along! He is on the Yankee team, a little disappointed it wasn't the Dodgers, but happy to play! I took a bunch of pictures, enjoy them! He has another on Thursday, unless it gets rained out. It was really nice for my grandfather to be able to watch him yesterday. I love that we decided to play there, even though it's sometimes a long drive! We saw Beth and Rachael at the park watching Jack practice t-ball. It was nice to be able to see them in person, instead of always on the computer! I am sure we will see a lot of them this summer while the boys play ball.

Happy 9 months Isaiah!

Wow! 9 months already. Isaiah has changed a lot this month. He is doing so much now. We went for his 9 month check-up yesterday and he weighs 21.8 lbs and is 29 inches long. He got his finger pricked and one shot and only cried a little. Dr. Abbott said that he was looking great and right on track! Of course I already thought he was perfect.

Here is what he is doing at 9 months(at least what I can remember):
*crawls everywhere
*climbs steps
*pulls up on everything and everybody
*cries when you take away something he was playing with
*gets mad and stiffens his arms and legs
*eats some table food
*loves to eat anything
*has 6 teeth, 4 on the top and 2 on the bottom
*loves his paci
*sleeps with his lovey
*gets up once a night to eat
*drinks out of a sippy
*finger feeds really well
*loves, puffs, mum mums, grilled cheese, scrambled eggs, beans, rice, mashed potatoes, fruit, peas, cherrios
*eats frozen fruit in his little mesh thing and cries for more
*waves bye bye, mostly only to his brother
*claps
*signs more and all done
*looks for Zachary when we get to school to pick him up
*chases the dogs
*shuts doors
*yells down the step for Z
*likes to chew on the nose sucker(a clean one!)

I am sure there is more! He is so different from Zachary. Zachary was a really laid back baby. He didn't get into much and he left the plugs alone, not this one! He is my little nosey rosey! We have so many gates up around the house! It has been so much fun watching him grow and change! I love you Cesar Isaiah!

Happy (late) Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there! It was a great day in the Sanchez house. I woke up with both my boys and got a great handmade card from Z! It was the best card of the day. My husband got me a new tv for the bedroom! Yeah! I have been watching the little one ever since he gave our nice one to Z to use in the playroom and the Wii. I have been having to squint to bring the images into focus since March! Not anymore!! We all got ready and went to Shelbyville to have lunch at Claudia Sanders, yummy. We had lunch with my grandparents, Aunt Mary, my parents and Kel Brad and the boys. It was a really nice time. We came home and finished painting the boys rooms and then fell into bed! I haven't taken any pictures of the boys rooms yet but I will post them as soon as I finish the decorations! Blogger won't let me add images to the post so I will be uploading a lot of slide shows!

Backyardigans!

We took Isaiah to see the Backyardigans, Saturday with Kel and the boys. They were live at the Kentucky Center for the Arts. I am not sure if any of you have seen anything live like that but this one wasn't the greatest. I was really disappointed in it. They weren't in full costume, their faces were cut out, and it wasn't their voices either. The music kept Isaiah's attention and he seemed to like it, as much as a 9 month old could! Bradley Dylan said they weren't the real ones but he liked it. I wouldn't recommend it, Sesame Street Live was much better! I took some pictures but they wouldn't let me take pictures of the play!

6 TEETH!!!

While we were at baseball practice this afternoon, Isaiah was hanging upside down. It seems to be his new favorite position and my Gran saw his two eye teeth had poked through! I totally missed it! I couldn't believe it. He now has 4 teeth on the top and 2 on the bottom! I will try to get a picture tomorrow!

Weekend News and Isaiah's New Tricks!

We had a great but busy weekend! It was so nice outside that I talked my husband into getting some things for outside. We headed to Lowes on Saturday to get some flower boxes and flowers! We also went to Shoe Carnival to get Zachary some new cleats for baseball, and then we had much at Fergies in Elizabethtown. Once we got home I put Cesar to work. The flower boxes look great and the two trees we got for the front door entry make a huge difference!

We then headed inside to watch the Derby. No one in this house had the winner :(. Zachary was made that his horse, Z Fourtune, didn't win and he decided that he wouldn't watch it anymore and left us to go play the Wii. After the Derby I put my wonderful husband to work inside. Now that Isaiah is crawling we have had to baby proof the house in a hurry. He installed gates at the steps to the basement and at the top of the ones upstairs. We then put in a balconly guard upstairs to keep his little arms and legs inside. He then got to install his new Perfect Pull-up Bar in the basement workout room and the kids tested it out.

Sunday Isaiah decided to show up how he can now pull up on anything! He was pulling up on us while we were sitting on the floor but now he uses anything he can find to pull up on. He hasn't, as of yet, tried to pull up in the crib but I know it's coming soon. We got ready and headed out to church. We were even ready early. When we got there we realized that no one else seemed to be in the parking lot. We unloaded, got inside, still empty. I finally asked one of the greaters and she told me that they decided, last week, to move the service to 10:30! We missed last week so we didn't know. Well we had an hour to kill and we decided to head home. Isaiah ended up falling asleep so we missed church again. I headed back out to Lowes to look for a couple of pots and to get two more flower boxes for the back deck. We got the rest of the flowers planted and Cesar sowed some seed and then watered it, with the help of his youngest. It was then time for Zachary's first baseball practice. We decided to have him play in Shelbyville since the whole family is there and it would be easier for him to have a cheering section. It was a lot of fun. Zachary really loves baseball. His daddy is so good at helping out and he loves to help coach Z's teams!

This morning, Monday, while we were getting ready for school, Isaiah decided to show us one more new trick. He can now climb stairs!! What am I going to do?! Oh well, it's off to Wal-Mart for a few more gates to keep "Mr. Destructo" confined!

I hope everyones weekend was as great as ours! Enjoy the pictures of my family!

Update on Z and a Baby Shower!

I really appreciate those who have been lifting Zachary up in prayer. He seemed to get along with the therapist really well yesterday and is looking forward to going back to see her again. They drew some pictures and she even had a sand table that he is looking forward to playing with next time. We saw on her website where she has a therapy dog and so he is, of course, going to ask her about it. He will be going every other week for a little while. Cesar and I were able to meet with her first and express our fears and worries about Zachary. She said that she would discuss with us what she felt we needed to know but she would always let Zachary know that first. I really liked her and felt at ease with leaving my child with her. She also helped me not to feel so much like it was my fault, that has been a problem for me lately.

On Saturday I forgot to mention that I went to my cousin's baby shower. It was held at my MeaMaw's house and it was a great time. There were a lot of people there celebrating this new life. Her in-laws even traveled down from Michigan to attend with two of her nieces. She is going to have a little boy at the end of May.
Funny story about her and how she met her husband. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding and her husband was one of Cesar's good friends who also served with him in Iraq. At first I had actually tried to hook her up with another soldier, sorry Clint! After the wedding a bunch of people headed down to 4th street to continue with the party. They ended up meeting there and talked all night. That was in October, they got engaged in December and married in June! Her dad likes to blame me for this! Her husband redeployed to Iraq in September of 07 and she found out she was pregnant in October. She is due with Michael Eric Douglas in May and we are crossing our fingers that his daddy makes it home for his mid-tour leave in time. He will have to return to Iraq after 18 days at home with his new family and then will return for good in December of this year. Michael Eric is named for a 101st soldier who lost his life defending our country the day before they were to return, August 31st 2006, the 3rd Brigade's only loss. SSG Michael "Renegade Stalker" Deason, you will never be forgotten!

I have the BEST Husband.....and Prayers Please

I have the worlds best husband! This weekend we went to see Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood in concert at Rupp Arena. It was a lot of fun. My mom kept the baby all night and he did great for her. That was the worst part, we had never left him overnight before. I think it was harder on Cesar than it was on me. He kept talking about him all night long. It was the first time we had been by ourselves since he was born. We almost didn't know what to do with ourselves. Even though I had no baby monitor on, I still couldn't sleep all night. We are going to see Dave Matthews for out next night out! I will post some picture when blogger will coorporate!

**********

As I had posted previously Zachary seems to be having a hard time lately. He is sad a lot of the time when he has returned from his biological father's house and seems to have a hard time getting back into the routine. This has been going on for about a month. I have been talking to my doctor about it and she has suggested Play Therapy for Zachary. We have our first meeting with the therapist tomorrow. I know that this is why you shouldn't have children out of wedlock or divorce or anything else that makes it hard for the children. I can't help but think of all the things that I should have done different. I wouldn't, however, change a thing about Zachary. I do not in any way regret having that perfect little boy. I just want to do whatever it takes to make all this easier on him. Short of moving, again, to California which is never far from my mind, I think this might be the best thing for us now. Please pray for Zachary and for his therapist. I want this to help him be the happy boy that I am used to having at home here!

Zachary's friend Dakota

Zachary's teacher Mrs. Olivencia asked me the other day if I would help another parent out. Dakota's mother needed someone to pick her up two days a week and keep her for about 15 minutes. I said of course I would do it, she is Zachary's girlfriend you know. So Tuesday was the first day she came over and I took a couple of pictures!


I also took one of the fish tank that Zachary got for raising money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital! He loves it and we went out and got 2 glowfish to put in it!

I will try to post the pictures later, blogger won't let me now! :(

I gave up on blogger letting me post the pictures so I added them at slide.com!

Zachary following in his Daddy's footsteps!

Zachary's First School Program!

Last night Zachary and 99 other kindergartners put on their first school program! It had a patriotic theme of course, we do live close to Knox. It was wonderful. My parents came to see it along with us. Imagine our surprise when the program starts and Zachary steps out of the line to put on a Drill Sergeants hat! You should have seen the proud look on his Daddy's face! I will upload the video, the audio isn't great but you get the idea! I just LOVE being a Mommy! He was so excited to surprise up with his Drill Sgt act! He was grinning from ear to ear. It was one of the best nights of my life!!

We now have two top teeth!

When Isaiah and I were playing earlier I noticed that the top left tooth is now through!! We now have two top teeth and two bottom teeth!

This mommy needs a little help please

I got a little smarter with the second child and bought him 4 loveys to have to sleep with.

With Z, I only had one "baby" and now she looks like this....

"Baby" has always been a she!

This is what baby looked like in the beginning! I posted this for my mother in law, she never got to see the first baby!

Well now Isaiah has decided to take a liking to this blanket that I received at my baby shower. Of course I can not find another one and I have tried searching on the internet to no avail. My friend who gave it to me got it at a speciality shop in Lebanon TN. So if anyone has any suggestions I would love it. It's made by mico baby.

My second question is about sleep training. What do I do if Isaiah falls asleep while he is taking his bottle? Do I wake him up so that I put him in bed awake or do I go ahead and lay him down? He has done pretty well today but his last nap he fell asleep while he was eating so I went ahead and put him down. I am not sure if that was the right thing or not.

Run Baxter Run

Poor Baxter!

Now that Isaiah is crawling, Baxter is none too happy. I think he remembers this time from Zachary. Isaiah's new favorite thing to do is crawl after Bax. Baxter gets comfy on the floor and then comes trouble, as fast as he can go. He gets almost to Bax and then Baxter up and runs away. Just as he gets comfortable in another spot, Isaiah is after him again. He has been the best dog with all the babies, Zachary and Bradley Dylan and now Isaiah. I feel sorry for him. He is now upstairs hiding, for the time being Isaiah can't climb the stairs to get him. I am sure that will change soon!

Pancho is still so much of a puppy that he can't be out with the baby yet. He weighs almost 50 pounds and isn't aware of his own strength! He is really sweet, we are just afraid he will love him to death! Isaiah loves to watch him from the play pen when he is out with us in the family room!

I will have to upload the pictures later. Blogger won't let me add them right now!

Weekend Pics!

Updates from the weekend...

Isaiah is crawling now!!! Yay! He started Saturday morning, of course going after something he shouldn't have, my book. I yelled upstairs for my husband and downstairs for Z and we all watched him and cheered for him. He is doing it a lot more today and soon will be able to keep up with Brady Lee. Also this morning, I noticed that the top right tooth is now through! He is getting bigger and bigger!

This family loves the water! I guess it has a lot to do with my husband being from California. Zachary has been a water bug from the beginning and now Isaiah loves the water just as much. With that in mind we headed to Shelbyville on Saturday to swim at the frog pool with the boys. We had a great time and of course I took some pictures. After that we headed to Nana and Grandpa's house to hang out and have dinner. It's always fun going to the grandparents, they boys can do whatever they want there.

I started Friday trying to sleep train Isaiah, as I posted. It was going pretty well and then today I haven't been feeling great. So I let my husband take over with the boys. It was time for Isaiah's nap and I gave him instructions on how to lay him down and walk away. I thought all was well. I heard Isaiah cry and then......nothing. I thought wow, he's already settled down, I look up to see Cesar carrying Isaiah down the steps. He just couldn't leave him there crying! Pick your battles, right? I have all week to get him back under control while he is at work. I will be starting again tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Happy 8th month Cesar Isaiah!

How time flies when you are having fun! I can't believe 8 months have passed since Isaiah made his entrance into the world. He has changed so much and continues to do so everyday. He has added so much to our family and I am so blessed to be his mommy. Although as I type this he is crying in his crib trying to go to sleep for a nap! I am outside his door on the laptop peeking in the crack and crying with him! Here are a few things that Isaiah can do now.

*sits up really well
*eats lots of foods
*loves puffs and mum mums
*drinks out of a sippy
*says mama and dada and nana
*reaches for you
*rolls over
*can go from his tummy to sitting up
*rocks on all fours
*puts his own paci in his mouth!! except for at night :)
*only gets up once a night now
*laughs out loud at his big brother
*looks for Zachary when you say his name
*talks on the phone to Grandma and Papa
*isn't very fond of his car seat, he hates anything that confines him!
*gets mad when he doesn't get his way or you take something away from him
*loves to watch the dogs run around
*is a mommy's boy, this doesn't make daddy very happy!
*weighs 21.1 lbs

I will post a few pictures of my baby later! He has finally cried himself to sleep! I remember doing this with Zachary, but it was at 9 months. I know it only takes a couple of days but it's hard. It's funny to be doing the same things as my friend Jodie whose little girl, Isabelle Grace, is only a few days older than Isaiah. She just posted about how Izzy was crying in her crib and it's been the same for us the past couple of days. I hope it goes fast! Since it's the weekend I will be doing it at night too. I haven't been because I don't want him keeping Zachary up and their rooms are across the hall from each other! Please pray that it only takes the weekend!

Spring Break Fun

Spring Break happenings....

I know this post is a little late but this is the first chance I have had. We had a great time hanging out with Kelly and the boys and the other two boys that she keeps. On Monday they came to the house to hang out and play, on Tuesday we headed to the zoo to see the animals, on Wednesday we swam at the Frog Pool, Thursday we went to All About Kids for open gym and Friday we just rested! It was a lot of fun. Bradley Dylan and Zachary have a great time playing together and the little boys are fun to watch.

I am glad that school is back and we can get back into the routine. Zachary loves school and he strives on routine so getting back is better for us all. We are now working on getting Isaiah on a routine and then all will be great!

We had a great lunch today at Back Home here in Etown with Aunt Mary. She had a meeting here in Etown and she called to invite us to lunch. I love eating there so of course I said yes and headed right over. She loves the boys so it always nice to see her.

Just a few thoughts....

Where does the time go? I can't seem to find any time in the day to do anything. I feel like I am running from sunup until sundown! I used to have the time to update this blog every other day, talk to friends on the phone, catch up in email, ect... Now I barely get the laundry done and dinner on the table!

Isaiah seems to be having a hard time getting over this ear infection and now he has those good old KY allergies and is now on two different allergy medicines along with his antibiotic and albuterol for his cough. I have been to the pediatrician three times in the past week. They love me there, it's a good thing.

Zachary is starting to have a hard time dealing with some issues with his biological father and things are kind of hard here. We are dealing with it the best we can but my heart breaks for him. I am truly blessed to have a wonderful husband who loves Zachary with all his heart. He is always in my corner with this and will help me do whatever we need to do to help Zachary. I love that man!

I didn't mean for this post to be sure a whiny one but I needed to get it all off my chest! This too shall pass......I just wish it was now! :)

On a positive note, I finally got the pictures from Kelly's camera and am going to upload some different pictures from Disney. I wish I was still there!

Check out my Slide Show!

Back from Disney!

We got back from our WONDERFUL trip to Disney World yesterday and I am ready to return tomorrow! I love Disney. I always have as a little girl and now as a mom I love seeing my kids enjoy it just as much as I did. It is a totally different experience now then it was before I had children. I took 277 pictures! I love pictures, I love to look back at them and remember the fun that was taking place!

We did all 4 parks and had a meal everyday with the characters! Breakfast with Lilo and Stitch, lunch with Little Einsteins, and dinner with Pooh and Friends! Isaiah just took it all in but Zachary had a great time. His favorite part was meeting the Power Rangers over at Disney's Hollywood Studios. He was in total awe of them. He has been watching Power Rangers since he was 2. The weather was wonderful, very little rain, and sunny hot days. We were in shorts and tank tops all week. The babies were in onsies and no socks, it was great.

It was so nice to be able to go with my family and see my nephews everyday. Kelly and I had adjoining rooms so the boys were able to go back and forth all day and night! Traveling with 4 kids was an adventure and tiring but looking back at it now, WORTH EVERY MINUTE! I will try to pick some of my favorite pictures to post! Enjoy your weekend and the upcoming week ahead! I will try to post a little more now that we have returned!

Easter Pictures from Sears!

Here is one of the boys Easter pictures from Sears! I know this is probably the last year I will be able to get Zachary to dress how I want! We are headed to Disney World tomorrow with the whole family! I will be posting a lot of pictures while we are there!

What! A GIRLFRIEND?!

I picked Zachary up from school on Tuesday and he came into the library with his classmate, Dakota. They came over to play with Isaiah and then we were walking out to leave. When we get outside and part ways Dakota hollers out "Bye, Zachy!" What, Zachy?! I look down and Zachary is grinning from ear to ear! He tells me, "I like Dakota a lot, like a girlfriend a lot." I am about to pass out at this time. He has a friend, Mikayla, that he has called his girlfriend for years, they are the same age and have played together a lot. I asked him about her and he says to me, "I think I am going to ditch her because I don't see her everyday and make Dakota my new girlfriend." I don't know if I should laugh or cry! He is changing so much everyday, I don't think I am ready for 6! In the class picture she is the one in the front row on the end in the red shirt. She is pretty cute!

Oh, and here is a picture of Isaiah and the Easter Bunny I forgot to upload last week!

Easter Pictures!

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter Sunday! The Easter bunny was good to both my boys. Zachary got the 101 Dalmatians movie and some candy and Isaiah got some toys and the Backyardagins movie, at our house. The Easter bunny at Nana and Grandpa's was a lot more generous, as usual! We went to church and then to Aunt Mary's for lunch. The boys got some Easter presents there too, they are just a little spoiled! We saw Gran, Granddaddy, Aunt Mary, Aunt Joy Lynn, Aunt Helen and Uncle Eddie. Of course Kel and the boys and Nana and Grandpa were there. Lunch was delicious and the deserts and chex mix was the best! There goes the lost baby weight!

When we left there we went over the Meamaw's house, yep, she's home!! We visited with her and Paw Paw for a little while and then came home to cheer the Cards onto a 30 point victory!!

March Madness, one sock on, and a great report card!!

Just some random thoughts! We are ready for the first real game of the NCAA tourney tonight! I only hope I can stay up to watch it. Isaiah hasn't been sleeping great and I have been asleep every night this week by 9! GO CARDS!! So sorry the the Wildcats are going to be home watching, from Lexington!

Isaiah is the one sock kid! No matter what he is wearing, every time I look up he only has on one sock! My car has one sock here, one sock there from where he takes them off in the car seat and throws them. On a positive note, he has a good arm!

Zachary got his third report card today. I am very proud to report that he has mastered almost everything except printing his last name, tying his shoes, and recognizing the lowercase letters b and d! He also has 158 sight words! I am so proud of him, he is so smart. I only hope it continues, his love for school and the fact that he seems to pick up things so quickly. The only downside is that since the Wii has come to our house, homework is a battle. He now likes to rush through it so he can play video games and when I make him redo it he gets really mad! It is just one more thing that we are working through! I love parenthood! The other thing that is not that great about school is all the new phrases he comes home with. If he rolls his eyes at me and says "duh" one more time, I might lose it! I love 6 years old!

Enjoy your weekend and Happy Easter to all. I am sure all my friends will be posting some great Easter pictures Sunday night and Monday. I can't wait to see the little girls in all the dresses! I will be posting some pics of my handsome boys too!

Gross mommy moment!

I wanted to share this, without to many details! I had my grossest mommy moment in 6 years yesterday! Zachary was at school and my sweet little Isaiah was playing toys on the blanket in the living room. He was happy and talking so I took that opportunity to run to the bathroom. I left the door open so I can see him and was in there maybe 2 minutes, I promise. I come out and I notice something all over him, yes ladies and gentlemen, it's poop! He is on an antibiotic for a double ear infection and it has made his poop a little softer then normal! It is all over him, all over his blanket, and all over my carpet where he had rolled off the blanket! I couldn't even decide how to pick him up! It was soooo gross! I can't remember Zachary ever having an episode like that. I am going to rent a carpet cleaner today to make sure I got it all off the carpet, I did the best I could yesterday with the carpet cleaner and a brush! Just wanted to share with all you other mommies!

Going Private

I am making the blog private tomorrow. If you are reading my blog and would like to be put on my email list please leave me a message in the comment section today. With all the crazies out there I would like to protect my family as much as I can.

More of Z's Birthday!

The first set of pictures from Incredibel Dave's!

Happy 6th Birthday Zachary!

Happy Birthday Zachary! Wow, 6 years old today. I can not believe it. It seems like yesterday that you were just a little baby. How you have grown. You are in kindergarten now and so very smart. You have moved 5 times, lived in 3 states, and been to 3 different Army posts. You are an official Army Brat. You are now a big brother after being the only child for 5 years and you are the best at it. You are great a t-ball and get monster hits all the time. I can not wait to see what this next year brings you my big boy! Mommy and Daddy and Isaiah love you so much and we are so proud of the big boy that you have become.

We celebrated Z's birthday at Incredible Dave's with my parents and my sister and her family last night. Zachary got a Wii from my parents, and he is overjoyed! He has wanted a video game for as long as I can remember and we kept telling him no. We gave in this year and he is sooo happy. Daddy hooked it up today and they are playing as I type. They all came over to the house today and we had cake and ice cream and Bradley Dylan and Z played Wii while Isaiah and Brady played in the playpen together. Of course I took a lot of pictures, so enjoy!

More snow pictures and an update on my Meamaw!

I thought our California family would like the snow pictures with Pancho Villa!

My Meamaw was moved out of ICU and into a regular room! Praise God! She still has a long way to go, there is still fluid in her lungs and she can't swallow very well but she is improving slowly. Thank you all for your prayers and please continue to pray for a full recovery!

Happy 7th Month Isaiah!

Isaiah is a big 7 months old today! He is changing so much everyday. He is getting so big and doing so many different things it is hard to keep up with him. He has out grown all the 9 month clothes in his closet and now is in 12 months! It seemed like everything got to little overnight! He is going to be just like his big brother, growing like a weed. He weighs 20 pounds and is 24 inches long! He is now in a convertable car seat, having surpassed the weight limit on the carrier. What can I say, I think the NFL is in our future! Mommy would love that!

Isaiah likes
*eating
*picking up his brother at school
*playing with Zachary
*taking baths with Daddy
*sitting up like a big boy
*rolling over
*biting you with his two teeth
*kissing everyone
*being thrown in the air
*his paci, especially his new gumdrop ones
*his lovey
*watching the dogs run around
*he loves his University of Louisville Cardinals!!
*chewing on the remote and mommy's phone


Isaiah dislikes
*going to bed!!
* when the food is gone
*getting dressed
*being put in the playpen
*not being held


He is a great baby and I am so blessed to be his mommy. I can't wait to see what the next month brings us at the Sanchez house!

**Sorry it took so long to get the pictures up, Isaiah is not having the best night!**

Snow, Snow, Snow!

Yes, it's March and we have about 10 inches of snow here! It started yesterday and continued all night. It's still snowing this morning and we already have 10 inches! I let Zachary go out for a little while yesterday and I took Isaiah out for about 5 minutes. It took me longer to get him ready than anything. He liked it for a minute and then got upset when he realized he couldn't get to his hands! Enjoy the pictures of the snow!

We were going to try to make it to the hospital to visit Meamaw, but now I am not sure. I will keep everyone updated on her condition, so far so good! Please keep praying for her.

GOD IS GOOD!

At about 7:30 this morning Meamaw decided that she no longer wanted the tube down her throat so she pulled it out. She is, as of this time, breathing on her own!! She is a little confused still but knows her name, and what year it is! She may have to have the tube again, it is a day by day decision as of this time. She also might need a feeding tube, they will make that decision later today. Please continue to pray for a full recovery. Pray works, this is proof yet again!

Prayers Needed!

It hasn't been that long ago that I sent out an email to my friends and family asking for prayers for my Meamaw. God answered those prayers and she got much better. She was only 2 days away from leaving Crestview when yesterday she took a turn for the worse. She seemed to be really disoriented and having a hard time focusing. She was taken to Baptist East last night and placed on a breathing machine this morning early. She is not breathing correctly and therefore not getting enough oxygen to her brain. Her lungs are full of fluid and she can not get rid of it on her own. She is going to be kept on the breathing machine for at least 48 hours, maybe longer. She is fully sedated as of this time. As many of you are aware there will be a chance that she will never come off this machine and be able to breath on her own again. I am asking, no begging, that you all pray without ceasing. Please pray for her recovery. Please pray that if she is not to recover fully that she is able to at least be comfortable and that we are able to say good-bye one last time. I know that pray works, Meamaw is proof of that. Please ask your church, your friends and your family to pray for her. Thanks.

Incredible Dave's

Last night we went to Incredible Dave's off of Westport Rd with Nana, Grandpa and Kel,Brad and the boys. It was a really awesome place. It had lots of games for the boys, inflatables, cosmic bowling, bumper cars, and a Wii room. The kids had a great time. We had dinner there and the food was pretty good. It didn't start getting crowded until about 7 pm. I think if we went again we would go around lunch time. The bowling had a waiting list that was about 1 hour so we didn't get to do that. Of course Zachary went home with Nana and Grandpa to spend the night. So today Isaiah and I went to pick him up and hang out with Aunt Kel and the boys. Daddy had Drill this weekend so he couldn't go. :( Look at all the fun we had!
