Our Kids

ISAAC!!! 
 Isaac is 8 years old.  He is our silly, smart, tender-hearted, inquisitive little guy.  He loves to hang out and just have fun.  He looks a lot like his late Grandpa Allridge and also has a lot of his temperament. He LOVES anything that has to do with animals and has had animals of ALL kinds.  Right now he claims that he has located a nest of preying mantis eggs.  He is sure they will be hatching any day now (and we won't be surprised if they do!)  He also has a cute little hamster "Chester" and a cat "Snowflake".  Isaac is very protective of his sister. In fact, even though they have their own rooms and beds, they still end up sleeping in the same room together each night! Isaac loves to collect things like sea shells, rocks, and sap.  He is way into pokemon cards, legos, going to Disneyland, and playing soccer and baseball.  Isaac's new found joy is participating in Cub Scouts. He just earned his Bobcat and looks forward to working hard on his Wolf Badge.  Isaac has a tender heart for babies.  He prays every night to have a new baby and knows he will be the best big brother ever.















AFTON!!!


 Afton is just turning 5.  She has never-ending energy and is always making us smile! She is always singing at the top of her lungs and dancing.  There is really no doubt where she is in the house at all times.  She has a natural confidence about her and always has a plan. Afton takes ballet and tap and LOVES it, but she's decided that she wants to play soccer this year with her brother!  She loves to play dress-ups, have tea parties, jump on the trampoline, help mom cook, and of course go to Disneyland (she asks almost everyday if we can go).  She is very brave and goes on ALL the rides that she is tall enough for at Disneyland. Her favorite is Tower of Terror!?!   Afton talks about adopting a baby everyday without fail and is very sweet and inquisitive.  She asks a lot of deep questions which keep us on our toes.  We love her sweet spirit.  She is at the most wonderful age and we wish we could FREEZE time!
