Matt, Sarah, Isaac and Logan

Beatboxing

2012-02-14T07:41:00.000-08:00

I found Isaac one day beatboxing and doing the robot. I wasn't able to capture that day on video, but last week he was talking to his little brother and just started beatboxing in his face. I tried to get as much as it as I could, but of course, when I started recording him, Isaac wanted to see. Sorry if this video makes you a little motion sick.

Logan

2012-02-14T07:35:00.000-08:00

Well, so much for playing catch up through the year, I will however show you some pictures of the new baby. Logan James Printy was born on December 2nd weighing 9 lbs, 3 oz. It's probably a good thing he was a week and a half early.

Isaac "helping" me make chocolate cream pie.

I tried to entertain Isaac one day with water colors, thinking, it won't be too messy right? Ha! Lesson learned. He did entertain himself though, so it was a success.

Matt's work party was at Lagoon this year. We took the boy and let him try all the kiddie rides. He had a great time, although I seem to have failed at capturing a smile in any of the pictures. Oh well, maybe next time.

The classic boat ride

Riding a horse on the carousel.

By this time I think he was pretty ready to go home and take a nap. This is how he had to sit on the train ride to look at all the animals. Silly kid.

May

2011-12-15T15:03:00.000-08:00

May we celebrated Isaac's 2nd birthday. I made him a basketball cake since he loves sports so much and we got him a hoop and ball. He really likes to play "baket ball" with his Dad.

We also took a trip out to South Carolina to visit my sister Natalie. We rented a house on lake Murray close to where she lived and spent time playing on the water and visiting some fun places in the South. It was tons of fun!

Ready for the picture? Heh! Too bad.

Isaac loved being able to play with his cousin Eli while we were there.

Out on the water with Mom and Dad.

April

2011-12-15T14:52:00.000-08:00

April is Easter time, so here are a few pictures from the couple of Easter egg hunts Isaac got to do this year

Happily enjoying his spoils.

Classic Jensen family Easter party. He was so careful to get everything all around him. It was pretty funny to watch

Here is a hunt at our house with all the Printys

We went one day to the Discovery Gateway and let Isaac play around.

March

2011-12-15T14:39:00.000-08:00

I know, I am a HUGE slacker, but I decided to play some serious catch up for anyone who even still looks at this blog. I will begin in March of this year with some pics of what we(mostly Isaac) have been up to this year.

Here he is modeling the snow boots I bought him on clearance for this winter. He loved putting them on and running around the kitchen.

We spent a lot of time at the park, the slide is his favorite.

Here he is running away from me telling him to eat his popsicle in the kitchen.

Isaac wanted to help me make some cookies one Sunday so I got him all ready to help with his chef hat and apron. He of course was a big help...at eating all of the chocolate chips out of the dough.

Obsession

2011-02-22T07:09:00.000-08:00

This is what Isaac looks like when he can't find his "baket ball"

Here he is when he finally has as many of them as he can get his hands on.

He has been doing basketball drills using the basketball and our dining room chairs. It is going to be hard to wait until his birthday to get him his little basketball hoop.

2011-02-16T18:46:00.000-08:00

I wonder what it's like to live a life where one is motivated to to what is best and right all the time. I wish I could be like that.

December Recap

2010-12-30T10:31:00.000-08:00

What have we been up to you ask?

Drinking

Sleeping...

Trying to get away from Santa...

And playing in the snow. Thanks to Grandma J and Grandma Great for providing his snow gear.

Arizona

2010-12-14T11:49:00.000-08:00

So, I'm a little slow with keeping up with what is going on, but I thought I'd finally post at least one photo from our Thanksgiving trip to AZ. Pictures never do a sunset justice, but I had to share it. Watching the sunset over the desert made me want to chase the sun. Loved it!

Family Pictures

2010-11-04T17:49:00.000-07:00

We had some family pictures taken a couple weeks ago. Here are some of my favorites. There are so many great ones of Isaac. I sometimes can't belive such a gosh darn cute boy is ours.

Halloween

2010-11-04T17:25:00.000-07:00

So, Isaac dressed up as a garden gnome this year. I made the hat, suspenders and shoes, so they are not as good as they could be, but I had fun doing it. Here are a few pictures...

This is at our wards trunk or treat, he kept his hat on for a little bit because I think he was annoyed at the rain.

Here he is getting in the candy bowl. He has not had too much sugar in the past, but now that he has tried it, he of course can't get enough.

This is what happened most every time I tried to get a full body picture of the boy.

At last, success!

Here is one more that I liked where you can see the whole outfit. The only problem was his shoe cover was on crooked. Oh well, Maybe I can fix up the hat a little better and dress him up as a Chistmas elf later this year. We'll see.

Hide and Seek

2010-09-20T14:17:00.001-07:00

We've been playing hide and seek a little today. I'm not sure he really grasps the concept yet, but he sure has fun "hiding".

Update

2010-09-20T13:58:00.001-07:00

So about a week and a half ago we got together with Matt's side of the family for a family reunion at out timeshare in Wolfcreek. It was a lot of fun! Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to.

This is Isaac touching (even though he wasn't supposed to) the T-Rex. He liked seeing all the dinosaours. While on this little excursion, we learned about that Utah has an official state dinosaur, the allosaurus.

It looks like Isaac is about to smack Matt on the head, but really, he was exited to be so high and able to touch all the dinosaurs in the park.

His favorite attraction seemeed to be the vegitation and ropes. Any time we set him down, he'd be running straight for it.

On Saturday we went to Pineview Resivoir and hung out on the suprisingly sandy beaches. Doesn't Isaac look like a redneck with that hat on and his shorts sliding down?

We got out on a raft and paddled around and had the boy in a life vest. He wasn't too fond of wearing it, can you tell?

New Art

2010-09-18T09:42:00.000-07:00

I just bought this, this and this print at the state fair from our friend Melonie Packer. She has some great stuff. I highly recommend checking out her booth at the fair this weekend, and if you can't make it, check out her site.

2010-08-31T18:46:00.001-07:00

I know... I've been out of th blogsphere for a while. What can I say? Life just keeps going. I haven't been up to much other than the day in, day out of being a homemaker. I did get a winsheild wonder in the mail yesterday, and I'm excited to try it out as soon as I can pry it out of Isaac's hands. That kid has quite the death grip when he wants something. He's so stubborn. I really have no idea where he gets it from... okay maybe I do. It's totally from his dad...

I Love My Boys

2010-07-11T08:03:00.000-07:00

Matt got his trumpet out a few weeks back and Isaac was fascinated with it. I love my boys

2010-07-11T07:52:00.000-07:00

These photos are from last month when Scott got married. Natalie came and stayed with me for a little bit of her trip. We are so excited for Scott. Here he is with all the neices and nephews plus a couple of Valerie's friend's kids. Oh, and I gues Eli isn't there either.

Here is Isaac and Natalie eating dinner. Isaac just kept staring at her while she was talking. It was good to have him a bit distracted, because I was able to get him to eat a more regular sized meal for a kid his size. Thanks Nat! It was fun to have you here.

Isaac's First Birthday Party

2010-05-11T08:06:00.000-07:00

My baby is a year old! I can't believe it's been a year already but in some ways it seems he's always been in the family. I decided to do a monkey theme since Isaac loves his stuffed monkey, and picks things up with his feet. It seemed fitting. Since the whole cupcake cake thing was too advanced for me, I decided to make monkey cupcakes. You may be wondering why I did some frowning faces, the only real reason is I thought it would be funny to give those ones to anyone who was late or unhappy.

He seemed confused when we were all singing to him.

He got the hang of eating the cupcake super fast. He devoured it.

Here is a little video for those who want to see...

Tulip Festival

2010-04-27T17:25:00.000-07:00

We went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point last night and it was super busy, but fun. Here are some of my amature pictures I took.

Some tulips...

The famous brial spot. I must admit, I am a huge fan of wrought iron. I think it's so classic.

Isaac didn't really like us sitting him on the grass, he kept trying to get up on his toes and hands, but he never got both hands down for long. He kept looking at his hand with a disgusted look on his face. I guess he isn't a fan of grass and pine needles. Imagine that.

Matt tried to get him to pose, but this is all that we could get him to do.

I tried a little while later, without much success.

He did finally decide that the flowers might be fun to touch.

I like the contrast of his "I'm on the verge of being upset" face with the pretty flowers.

I took this one as we were leaving. I didn't know they had so many water features there.

I messed with my camera for a while to get this shot. I didn't know I could get it to focus so closely and still look ok. I was pretty excited. Ask my husband, he probably was sick of me taking pictures of this tree.

Spring is really here in Utah and I love it! ... well at least until tomorrow when it's supposed to snow again. It wouldn't be Spring in Utah without a couple of snow storms, right?

Crawling

2010-03-17T12:59:00.000-07:00

Isaac is crawling now. This is the best video I could get. He's so super cute! He started moving forward when we put my back scratcher in front of him. Weird motivation, but it worked.

First Hair Cut

2010-02-09T09:49:00.000-08:00

Here are some before and after shots of Isaac's first hair cut. My neighbor is a hair stylist and wanted to know if I needed her services, so I went over there a couple of weeks ago and she finally got rid of that crazy comb-over look on the boy. I think he looks much more handsome with his new hair cut.

Here is the face he had the whole time his hair was getting cut. He looks a little bit scared

I much prefer his hair all the same lenghth. Man I love my little man!

2010-02-06T14:31:00.000-08:00

Dear Internet,

What makes someone interesting? Is it the stories they tell, or what they do? How they live. Does being interesting cost money? What is it? Thoughts?

100 Years Old and Still Going Strong

2010-01-30T07:35:00.000-08:00

This is my piano. It was given to us at no charge. I really like the sound of the older pianos, I always have. And now I have one of my very own. If I decide to get ambitious, one of these days I may take on the task of refinishing it....maybe.

One of my goals for this year is to practice the piano enough so that if need be, people might be able to sing along with me. Part of this practice includes Matt singing along while I play, when he is in town that is. So far... well, it's been interesing. I refuse to let the piano get the best of me. Off I go to practice.

It wasn't me!

2010-01-15T07:22:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I heard a crash behind me as I was cleaning in the kitchen and I turned around to find this scene. He looks completly innocent right? Good thing I had just taken out the trash.

Isaac's First Christmas

2010-01-15T07:05:00.000-08:00

It was pretty fun to see Isaac opening his presents. I didn't expect him to be super excited about anything besides the wrapping paper which was mostly true with the exception of his new toy truck. We had a wonderful Christmas Morning. It is so much more fun having a little one to entertain us.

Here he is looking excited about his truck...

And here he is trying to eat the wrapping paper....

This picture he looks like he is excited for his keys, but I think it's mostly cuz he likes to smile at the camera. I think we may have a ham on our hands.

Christmas Update

2009-12-23T10:13:00.000-08:00

Below is a shot of these really yummy cake balls. I'm not really sure what you call them. I made them for my neighbors this year, and I gotta say, since this is my first time doing the whole dipping in chocolate thing, what a freaking lot of work! They are really good, but I don't know how often I'll be doing them. They did turn out really well though. I just wanted to show you all that I can be domestic every once in a while. Don't you wish you were my neighbor?

I bought Isaac a little suit for Christmas and the shirt is super small, so I thought I better get a picture of him in it. Matt and Isaac wore their suits to church on Sunday and were all matchy matchy. I'm not gonna lie, I kind of loved it.

Our Little Monkey

2009-11-13T07:16:00.000-08:00

Here are the long awaited (by some) pictures of Isaac in his Halloween costume. He was a monkey. I never did get a perfect shot of him in the outfit. We had him holding his stuffed monkey just in case people didn't know what the outfit was supposed to be.

Here he is waiting for all the festivities to begin.

Sitting with Grandpa Jensen

Grandma really wanted a picture of Isaac holding her Boo decoration. This one is for you mom. I think he just wanted to fit it into his mouth.

Here he is at the trunk or treat with Matt. He was fascinated by all the different people walking by in their various costumes.

Our Anniversary

2009-10-28T11:51:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures from our little overnight anniversary trip up to Wolf Creek. It's been two years already! Time flies. We had a good time. And even though it was a strange feeling not to have Isaac with us, it was really nice to be able to sleep in.

I am not a huge fan of any picture taken of me, but I thought I should probably include some of me since I was there. So here we are.

The rest are just some pictures of us at Pineview Resivoir skipping rocks and just enjoying the view. Sorry if it is picture overload.

The Boy

2009-10-05T15:58:00.000-07:00

I just had to post this picture. He is almost sitting up by himself... okay, so he falls over a little bit if left on his own too long. He is on his way. I have to say, being home with him is an adjustment. It's only been a few days, and even though he has had a bad cold for most of that time, I know why people say it is the best job in the world. I love being a mom.

Recap...

2009-10-05T14:53:00.000-07:00

I know I've been a huge slacker and haven't kept up on blogging as I should have. So, below you will see some pictures of stuff that went on a while back.

Here is Isaac chillin' with his aunt Natalie when she came to visit. I love the look on his face.

Here is my little sister Amber and her son Eli. They came back in August and it was so fun to see that chunky kid. He's super cute and pretty heavy. I don't know how my sister lugs him around.

Me and Natalie. She stayed with me when she came to visit in August.

It was fun to have Eli and Isaac get to know each other. I'm not too sure that Isaac will remember, but Eli really liked touching him. The two are 7 months apart. Look at the difference between the size of their hands. It's cute.

Here is Isaac in his car seat just this past weekend. He is so much happier when he isn't sitting back there all by himself. I think he may grow up to be a social child.

Slow...

2009-09-25T09:20:00.000-07:00

So, I am trying to find more than exactly 60 seconds to post some pictures. Maybe tomorrow. We are alive and well, and things are good. I am finally leaving my job. My last day is the 30th. Maybe I'll be a better blogger once I am not constantly rushing to be on time, and leaving a mess behind to clean up in my spare time.

2009-07-06T15:04:00.000-07:00

Camping with Isaac went very well. He slept for 8 hours straight Friday night! I couldn't believe it. I was actually a little worried when he didn't wake up after about 3 hours. I'm just happy he wasn't screaming all night long. What a good little baby boy. Now I know that it can be done, and will likely venture out into the great outdoors with him again. Sadly I forgot to bring our camera so we don't have any pictures.

Just Another Day in Paradise

2009-07-01T14:15:00.000-07:00

Here is a little update for all you readers. This is the newest family picture. I kept trying really hard to get Isaac to look in the direction of the camera and this was the best shot we were able to get. Perhaps I'll have to have the pictures taken by a professional before too long.

Isaac really dreads bath time. He usually screams the whole time, which is kind of hard to handle now that he cries real tears. I never knew until I had my own child that they don't actually tear up when they cry right at first. It come after a couple weeks. Seeing those tears flowing down those tiny cheeks can be a real heart breaker.

Isaac has had cradle cap pretty bad, so I have to keep greasing up his hair so it doesn't get too dry. When I comb through it after lathering the lotion on his head it acts as great hair gel. I love this picture, I call it "The calm before the storm".

In other news: we are heading out camping this weekend for the first time since having the baby. It should be interesting. I hope he is able to sleep okay since we will be in a camper with two other couples. I figure that since one of the couples also is bringing a little one that they will not be too annoyed when he cries at night.

The New Arrival

2009-05-29T09:46:00.000-07:00

So, in case you haven't heard, Isaac Matthew Printy was born on May 10, 2009 at 10:27 PM (only 23 1/2 hours of labor) weighing 7 lbs. 2 oz. I seriously cannot believe that I am a mom now. It is a little overwhelming, but I am so excited to have our little baby boy here. I will be even more excited when he learns to sleep through the night so I can get some sleep, but I'm not holding my breath that that will happen anytime soon. It is already getting easier to get up with him after a couple of weeks though, I guess it does get easier like people say it does.

Here is our new family just hours after the little guy showed up. I look totally gross and swollen, but it's history in the making, no time to spruce up.

Here he is looking cute with his binky at the hospital.

The newest family picture

And Isaac smiling, granted, it was probably gas, but I'll take it anyway.

All in all, I'd say that giving birth is one of the strangest experiences I've ever had, but totally amazing and worth it when you get to meet your child for the first time.

Hair

2009-04-20T13:14:00.000-07:00

I have an appointment to cut my hair tomorrow and I'm so excited! I don't even remember the last time I had my hair cut. Now all I need is the perfect style. Maybe I'll shock everyone and chop most of it off. I need something different. Any suggestions?

Gestational Diabetes

2009-03-10T14:21:00.000-07:00

This little thing is what I will be using to check my glucose levels four times a day. I am so not excited about this! Anyone who knows me knows that I do not do well with this kind of thing. In fact delivery should be interesting. I'm super bummed and afraid. And with the diet plan I've been put on, I'm afraid I will be starving and be onry because of it for the rest of my pregnancy. Lousy!

Some late Christmas Photos

2009-01-19T10:28:00.000-08:00

Here we have all of my nieces and nephews of my family. The newest edition is the chunko on the far left on the lap of Chamberlain. The kid is 3 months old and 18 pounds in this picture. I told my sister that I wouldn't keep calling him a chunko, but until he grows a bit taller with all of that weight, it's going to stick. It was really good to see my sisters Amber and Natalie over Christmas. I was a slacker and didn't get pictures of the three of us together, so you get to look at the kids. Plus, I don't feel like I am very photogenic at the moment being pregnant.

This is a picture that Matt took when we visited Temple Square. Isn't he good? I think so. Now if only we could learn how to hold still so the pictures are not so fuzzy.

This is our Christmas tree that we had to go and buy a new tree stand for. It was so big that it didn't fit into our old one. The trunk base was about 7 inches across. We had loads of fun getting that into the house and all decorated. It was 8 feet tall and we ran out of lights about half way down so had to buy some more before finishing the decorating process. Maybe next year we should use a fake, pre-lit tree.

So, our Christmas was good and hectic. I am really glad to have things back to normal. All the Christmas stuff is put away and it life as usual. Well, as usual as it can be I guess. I am totally freaking out that it is already January and we haven't made any real preparations for the little peanut to arrive. I have to say that I am scared to death of the birthing process! I am handling pregnancy fine. I have not had to deal with morning sickness or anything too severe. My biggest complaint at this point is that my feet and hands are so swollen that they hurt a bit and various limbs fall asleep when I sleep on my side. It's pretty awesome. We need a name and a lot of drugs for the delivery and we should be set.

A New Begining

2008-12-17T12:58:00.000-08:00

I decided I should try to document something of what goes on with Matt and I. So, here I am with another blog. I will post some holiday pictures soon.
