Well, to be fair, I thought that I should add in photos of Isaac. He is almost 2 and crazy as can be expected! He's more active than Jake ever was, and so we are almost in awe by is adventerous nature. Just the other day I took them to the park and he was climbing these crazy wrungs faster than his older brother, and so high that I couldnt even reach him... poor me... here I was with my arms reaching for him, just in case my little baby (not even two yet) fell thru... my little heart thumping away. Of course the story ends with no dramatic fall, and not even a scratch.
Well, Isaac is talented, some of his talents include,
Climbing
Teasing Jake
Yelling
Throwing... especially good when making contact with Jake
Eating
Singing
Twinkle twinkle
Old McDonald
the Crocodile song... and a few others
Fighting with Jake
Coloring
Feeding Olivia (our dog), HIS food
Picking at Jake
oh and he's adorable when we listen to music...

Well, there isnt anything to do today. One of our cars isnt running well, so Josh has the other one at school. I worked out this morning, and the boys and I even went to the park. I did all my chorse yesterday, but i guess there is always something to pick up in my house...
But to fill in time I played around with the MaryKay stuff that i just got in the mail from my WONDERFUL sister Natalie. Then i took some pictures. I know, how old am i?? But, moms have got to feel good sometimes too, right? Haha, its funny though. As much as i like to put on makeup and get "dolled" up, i still really like the no fuss...no makeup days too :)

About me, huh? Well, in the morning I won't eat sweet cereals. I only like plain ones with real fruit on top. Sometimes, I like a yogurt. I'm nothing fancy, and like nothing fancy, unless its old. I'm a sucker for anything antique or priceless. I lost my beautiful wedding ring, but to replace it, i wear a tiny promise ring, a thin band with a delicate diamond. I like it just as much as my VERY missed original. I'm about as churchy as they come. But i don't care if you are. That's the beauty of church! We all get to choose what we believe!
In my typical day, I clean the house, read, watch my shows (The Office and LOST), we have company over, and I try my best to spend a full hour uplifting myself (with scriptures, the ensign, or anything else wholesome).
Oh, and i spend a great deal of time, since i stay at home with my kids, entertaining! We do all kinds of crazy things. I was just dancing with Isaac to the starwars cartoon Jake was watching! And then after that, I took crazy pictures of me and Jake. My kids are my life. I have to do everything for them, from cutting up their waffles in the morning, getting them dressed, changing diapers, reading, playing, to singing them songs in bed. My life is saturated with thoughts of my boys. I guess that's why moms are so protective. Its hard to even have time to think about myself, but to keep sane, I have to. I once lost who I was, and had to make a huge effort to find myself again. I like the person that I am now, better than the one i knew before. I like to give. No, I love to give. I enjoy spending time with people when I know they need my help or friendship.
The 3 most prominent things about me are, 1) i can be obsessive compulsive, 2) I can never get to the point of my story before it gets boring, and 3) i can be pretty eccentric... my moms gift to me!
Well, that's me in a nutshell!

Well, as most everyone knows we are in the process of selling our house! Can't wait for it to be final! /Users/karenabegglen/

The best part about selling the house, is the opportunity to move! We haven't stayed in a single place this long since we've been married! We are all excited about the change! I love new and exciting things, and as most of you know, i can't sit still! I'm always redecorating, rearanging, or fixing something... it might be the curse of the Hales. :)
