Happy Father's Day!

Isaac is hands down the BEST dad! And husband! He knows how to play on the boys' level and make things extra fun. Some of my favorites lately:

Van loves to play Snouted Camp with him where they pretend to be all the enemies with snouts from Legend of Zelda--the Bokoblin or a Moblin. It's a game Van made up. Basically, you're at summer camp and you are learning Bokoblin stuff. I love how Isaac gets into it and doesn't shy away from being the real deal. 

He and William discuss Harry Potter and the Legend of Zelda. The other day they watched Harry Potter 5 since Will just finished the book. Isaac loves the Breath of the Wild game too so they enjoy playing it together. 

One day he came home with pool noodles and turned them into light sabers to replace the other ones we had. He loves to tinker with legos too and build with the boys. He's excellent at calming the boys down when they're upset with a funny joke, accent, crazy move...whatever to distract them.

He was a rock star this month making oatmeal for us every morning and helping the boys off to summer school and picking them up. 

One thing I especially love and appreciate is that Isaac takes the time to talk with the boys and reminds them regularly that they can always talk to us if they ever have questions or problems. 

As a husband, he loves to verbally tell me the wonderful things about me and encourages me when the going gets tough. We're going to miss him terribly the first three weeks of our trip to Utah!!

Hi family! It's been a while since I've done the Bickmore Buzz!! Here's the recap of the last five months!! JUNE: The Leasure's came to visit! It was so much fun! We took some weekend trips to St. Louis and Springfield. We saw the arch in St. Louis and visited the City Museum. In Springfield we did a driving tour of the caverns. Back in Warrensburg we did lots of e-bike rides, lightning bug catching, Minecraft crafting, talent show performing, and runs to Sonic. Sophie came house hunting with us in Kansas City and we found the perfect home. It's just five miles from work! When it was time for the Leasure's to return to Utah we all cried our eyes out.  Springfield Caverns I took a weekend trip to Utah to see my family. It's a rare occasion that all of the siblings are together since Caroline lives in Guatemala.  I also got to meet little Remmi for the first time and finally got to see Wyatt after two years. They're my grand niece and nephew. I sure wish I...

Lesley checked into the hospital and she was already dilated to a 5. William Steven Bickmore was born at 1:55 at 5'5"and 19" long. He is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Lesley is a champ she only got the "test dose" of the epidural and she was already at a 9. He has a low blood sugar problem so they have him in the NICU now and they are going to bring his blood sugar up. He is healthy and strong but he is a tiny little super guy. We love him and here is a video of his very first test. I tell ya they are starting to test kids younger and younger.

Dear Lesley, I wish I could accurately describe how in-awe-of you I am. Watching you give birth to Van was an amazing experience for me. In Spanish when a woman gives birth they say she gives light or que ella “da luz”. I think that is a more accurate way to describe what went on and a more beautiful way to describe you and your relationship to my life and to those around you. Luminous Lesley You have given light to my two boys September 30, 2008 and September 17, 2010 You have given light to my life August 2, 2003 and every day afterward You have made the world a more Luminous place, For every person who has Seen your smile Heard you laugh or Held your hand these twenty-nine years. October 3, 1981 Thank you for your love and light. Love, Isaac Please leave a comment and let Lesley know how she has brought light to your life. She loves comments.
