Memorial Day



We had a crazy week for Memorial Day. Jon, Julie, Matthew, and Seth came for a visit. Matthew gave Lily a ride in the red jeep. She had a lot of fun. I think that Matthew had fun driving her for a while.

The next day Lily and I flew to Utah for the Burraston Memorial Day Extravaganza. We went down to the farm and had a family barbecue. It was fun to see the cousins and aunts and uncles. I am the youngest grandchild so there were lots of other children to keep Lily entertained. She did so well. I was worried about her being afraid. But she did awesome with my parents. They think that she is the greatest thing since sliced cheese (and my family likes cheese!!)

It is so fun to go down to Goshen and spend time with my family there are so many good memories. My Grandma collects old cars so we
got pictures of Lily with a few of them.
Here we are in the back of a rumble seat in one of the old Ford. Lily really liked driving the old Ford pick-up truck. I the truck was made between 1910-1919...I think. Anyway it was a wonderful trip and then we flew back to have more fun and adventure with the Jon & Julie Isaacson Co.

Things had calmed down and now we are just enjoying being together and growing our garden. Kevin has an internship for the summer that he enjoys and we have some fun things planned. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Surviving Finals and Walking Baby




We have had a very eventful month. May was filled with many wonderful things such as: starting with Kevin's finals, planting the garden, Kevin's birthday and Memorial day.

Kevin's finals were crazy but we made it thought and feel very proud that we made it through the first year of law school. When Kevin started school they sent a pamphlet home that was entitled "How to survive your first year of law school" It stated that if you were not married don't get married and if you were married don't think about having children. We felt like the odds were against us but we made it though and didn't even think about getting divorced which I view as a pretty good sign. :)

Finals were however very intense for the both of us as evidenced by not celebrating Mother's Day. We also totally forgot our 3rd anniversary. Kevin's mom was the only one who remembered but she didn't call us that day. We realized the next day the 13th KW and I were sitting down and I was worried about paying some bills or something and looked at the calendar and realized that we had totally missed the whole special day. I was embarrassed for a few minutes and finally worked up the courage to tell KW who was studying for a test. We laughed about it for a while. At least we both forgot! Luckily Lily remembered her Papa's birthday and gave him a tie.
