Better late than never!!

I have not updated this blog in awhile. I guess I've been a little busy with the new baby....oh, I just realized....I never posted that we had the baby! So, yes, we had our new son, Malachi Jay, on September 2, 2009. He was 7lbs. 12oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. He is doing great. He is a good sleeper (so far). We hope and pray he stays this way. Isaac loves his little brother. He likes to help with everything....which can be good and bad!! When Malachi is sleeping, Isaac likes to lay next to him and talk to him. It is so cute! And then when we talk to one of them, Isaac always asks "Me or Malachi?". Then if we say "you" he says "me, the 'talking' one?". It is so funny!! It has been fun having two kids...and so far easier than people had me thinking it would be.

Air Force Cake

I decorated this cake for my friend's reenlistment to the U.S. Air Force. It was a pretty easy cake to decorate so I was glad for that!

Baby's name

After much deliberation I think we have finally agreed on the name for the baby. We have been set with Malachi as the first name since we found out we were having a boy but just could not agree on a middle name. We wanted something that was a family name -- Isaac has two family names so we figured this child needs at least one family name!! So, we talked and we talked and we talked some more but just could not agree on anything -- Malachi David, Malachi Henry, Malachi Jason, Malachi Lynn, Malachi Michael, and the list goes on. But the other day my suggested that we combine our two names and make a name for him but I thought that was kinda dumb at first -- what would it be?? Jarah?? Sason?? I thought that it was a dumb idea but the more I thought about it I came up with Jay. "J" for Jason and "ay" for my middle name Kay. So, I think it is official -- MALACHI JAY FRAZIER!!! I'm so glad the discussing is done!!!

We posted this on facebook just to see what ideas others had -- it is VERY funny reading everyone's ideas!!

It's a Boy!!

We found out today that we will be having another boy!!! Isaac keeps saying he doesn't want a brother, he wants a girl. I'm sure after awhile he will be fine with it -- it is just funny right now.

"Beautiful" Dandelions

My mom showed Isaac a week or so ago to pick the Dandelions and to give them to mommy. It was so sweet -- now all he wants to do is go outside and pick Dandelions. We get our yard treated, so needless to say we don't have too many but on the day of these pictures I think he must have found every single one in our yard!! :-) And he came inside and told me "I picked one for each of my friends!". So, we had to take them to church that night to give to "each of his friends". Then when we got to church we saw Miranda (she is 9 years old) and I asked him if he was going to give one to her and he said "No, only to my little friends!". It was SOOOO funny!
