Easter 2008

Easter Sunday, just the two of us. We were sad, because Daddy had to go to work today so we stopped by Aunt Amanda's house to see Gigi and Tessa. Then we went to church, then to Granny Beach's to eat, then to Gigi's house. Busy, busy day. Just the two of us....I love her smile with her Uncle Joe! She was having a big ole' time at her Great Granny's house.

Here she is at Tessa's house. Tessa was not feeling well, so she stayed home with Gigi.

These are my crazy and oh so lovable Kindergarteners.
They made these silly Easter hats for an Easter parade we were in last week. You can see they're quite a crew. Oh the joys of being 5 again!

Hair Bow Holder

I guess you could say after having Isabella I became a little crafty. Not sure if it because all this girlie stuff is so much fun or if I have a new little creative side I didn't know I had. Anyway, I made her this hair bow holder this weekend. Her room is pink and brown so I came up with this ribbon design and added some bling bling with the jewels. I thought it turned out pretty good. What do you think?

This is the holder with all her hair bows on it. I made all the ones you see on here. Another little creative project I've been working on. Trying to match hair bows to all of her outfits. It's a lot of fun, but quite time-consuming. I love to see her in them though. What do you think?

Bye-Bye Baby

Isabella started saying Bye-bye and waving! It is so cute. She's been babbling, but I can tell she is really learning fast! Check her sweet voice out......

Mom and I took these pictures of Isabella in her spring dress. I have so many in her closet I couldn't wait to get them out and take pictures of her in them. She constantly had her hands in her mouth so there's not many with smiles, but I still think they're so sweet.

Isabella has found a bunch of new toys! She loves the plastics in our kitchen. This picture was the early morning of the 12th. The next picture was tonight before dinner. She looks so different in these. I just love this sleepy face and yes, she still has the orange nose. :)

It Finally Snowed!

Oh, I just love this picture. Isabella couldn't stop staring at the snow. It is so much fun to watch her see and learn new things. I just want to teach her as much as I can everyday. She wasn't outside long in this picture, hence no jacket. Just a quick picture moment. Isn't it so beautiful? BTW, we've been telling dada to take those Christmas lights down, but as you can see, they're still there. :)

I can't believe it finally snowed so much! Peter and I were so excited so we got her out early in the morning. We didn't want it to melt before we could get pictures of her in it. Here is Isabella with her neighbors Wade and Gray Steelman.

This was our back deck. It piled up out there so we plopped her down in it. She just looked and looked. I think she loved the snow falling down from the sky.

After our fun time in the snow we had to take her for a checkup at the doctor. She wanted to check her lungs to make sure they were all clear. I felt so bad, she had a 101.9 temp and her chest still sounded bad. So we now have her on amoxicillin for 10 days. I guess I shouldn't have had her out in the cold this morning. You'll have to say a little prayer for her to get well since it's now going on 3 weeks.

Sometimes I try to think of different ways to take her picture. This one was just for fun. She was not interested in the monkey. She IS the monkey! She loved being up high. I love this little smile.

This one was with the monkey's hat on. If you notice, her nose is a bit orange. We're laying off the sweet potatoes and carrots! Those are her favorites, as you can tell.
