Isaacs birthday

Isaac had his 8th birthday this week! He is getting so old and really growing up! We love him so much!
He wanted waffles for breakfast, and ravioli for dinner. We celebrated a couple of days early with dinner, dessert, gifts etc.. because Danny had to leave town for work.

We sang Happy Birthday as Danny played on the guitar.  Isaac wanted ice cream sandwiches for his dessert and he was thrilled with his celebrations. 

We love so many things about this cute boy. His smile, his sense of humor, his love of facts and science. He is a smart, athletic, talented boy.
He got clothes, shoes, and a ripstick from us for his birthday. 

Isaac was the most adorable, sweet baby boy! I am so sad he's not a little guy anymore. 

We had a great weakend. We finished celebrating Isaac's bday with a trip to the zoo, dinner at the Habit, and then on Saturday we all went swimming. Emily brought a few friends and we also brought cousin Becca. 

While we were in cold SLC Danny and Taylor were having a blast in Hawaii!
Danny had some meetings at BYU- Hawaii and he decided to take Taylor with him so spend a fun week in the sunshine on the island of Oahu. 

They went to the beach, attended the temple in Oahu to do baptisms for the dead, ate out, went surfing etc... They had a wonderful time. 

I am so happy that Taylor went with Danny on his trip and I was a little sad I couldn't go. I love that they are having fun spending time together. 

The party continued at G & G Shields house after Sunday dinner. All of the kids LOVE playing dressups. Henry loved his cowboy hat and Lizzie looked great in my 30 year old dance costume.
Love these kids!!!
