Maren fell off the high bar at gymnastics. She had to wear this splint for a few weeks. Poor baby.

First Birthday for Dean Michael Isom
Our baby Dean Michael turned one year old on August 21st. He has been the easiest baby of all time! I suppose anything would be considered easy after the baby twin experience. Crazy how time flies. His birthday was a small family affair. We made a cake and gave it to him in the pan. He wanted nothing to do with it until he had his own little piece which he voraciously consumed. His birthday present was a mylar helium ballooon which he loved.

Funny Wells
I was visiting my grandparents and was hoping Wells was sleeping. I went to check on him and found him with this wig on. I had to take a picture.

My brother Ethan's Halibut
Imagine going on a deep sea fishing charter. Last time we tried this the waves were too dangerous and we had to head back to shore. It was Jon, Ethan and I and we all had great hopes of enjoying the experience of catching 2 halibut each. The boat heads out and begin to see the most amazing scenery. We find a nice place to anchor and start fishing. The poles are much heavier than the salmon rods we are used to using and the weights are very heavy. The halibut are at the bottom of the ocean so you have to drop your line hundreds of feet down until the weight touches the bottom and then you reel it up 3 to 5 turns. Ethan catches the first fish. It is very huge as you can see in the picture. Ethan was a machine. He just reeled and reeled without stopping until that fish was in the boat. Just as we start to move closer to him he turns and spews his guts out onto the ocean. They say chumming is a great way to draw more fish to the boat so I guess we should have thanked him. He continued to feel sick for the rest of the day. He really did look green (I thought that was just in the cartoons) and lost his cookies numerous times and we were all feeling bad for him. Ethan was the last person to not meet his halibut limit for the day. He refused the SeaBands I brought and when it came time for him to pull in his 2nd fish he didn't stop reeling it in even though the rest of us seemed to have a tendency to reel a little more leasurely . Just as our deckhand was helping pull in Ethan's fish it slipped off and he lost it. Poor Ethan had to go through the process again. I felt so awful for him. When the day was done I turned to Ethan and said "So what do you think". Ethan's reply was "I had the best day". I loved the experience, and I am so glad Ethan did too because he was so sick.
