Jason's Birthday!!

PARTY!!!

On Sunday Jason tuned 31!!!

We spent all weekend celebrating his birthday.

On saturday Braden, Taylor, and Brandon took Jason shooting. Nothing Says Happy Birthday like shooting a couple of clay pigeons.

Then for dinner we went to Su Case with my family. Its one of my very favorite Mexican Restaurants.

If you haven't been there you should go! Their salsa is AMAZING..

Drew was so excited to give Jason the present he help Grandpa pick out.

It was a ROCKET! Well actually it was 2 rockets and a launch pad.

No Jason and I have our own rockets to take when the family goes to launch them!

On Sunday I got up and made a quiche for breakfast.

Then Isabelle and I gave Jason his presents. 3 shirts and some DVD's.

We also ordered him some pants but they didn't get here in time.

This boy is so hard to shop for.

He is 6'5" and both his legs and torso are long.

Its so hard to find pants that fit (I almost always have to order online)

and shirts fit unless i forget to hang them to dry.

I cant dry any of Jason's shirts in the dryer or they come out to short.

ANYWAY

After Church we went to Jason's parents house for dinner.

His grandma was in town and it was nice to celebrate with her there.

Dinner was awesome and Jason got more presents and money for badly needed new tires (Woo Hoo)

Birthday's are so much fun!

Happy Birthday Turkey Face we love you!

Climbing

Isabelle learned to climb up the stairs on Monday (8/23/10) at grandma Stacey's House. Here's a video of her going up the stairs at home. She's even fast at going up the stairs now. You can't even turn your back on her or she's half way up the stairs. She's such a stinker. I'm not ready for her to be so mobile. She crawls all over the place and pulls herself up on furniture. She's even walking around the furniture now. Its just crazy! She a fast learner. It seems like she started to crawl one day and then 2 days later she was pulling herself up on things. Ahhhhhh. We're not ready for this yet. I guess we really don't have a choice though. Courtney was nice enough to have Doug bring up one of Preston's waking toys from Mesquite. Its a cute little car that converts into a push cart. Isabelle loves it! She pushes it all over the house. I'll have to post a video of that sometime. Anyway, Here's the video of Isabelle conquering the stairs.

7 Months

I cant believe I forgot to blog about Isabelle turning 7 months.

Isabelle is getting so big although I'm not sure how big since we don't weigh her at home. She only gets weighed at the doctors office. :)

It's been so fun for Jason and I to watch her grow. She has learned so much in the last few weeks. A week before she turned 7 months Isabelle learned she could get into a sitting position on her own.

A few days before she turned 7 months she learned to crawl.

Yep that's right we have a CRAWLER on our hands.

Not only does she crawl, she also stands up using the furniture. Although she doesn't think she needs to hold onto the furniture the whole time, which has resulted in a lot of falls. She's surprisingly pretty well balanced

Unfortunately for us she still isn't sleeping through the night. We're trying very hard to just let her cry herself back to sleep but its so hard to listen to her cry in the middle of the night. Oh well it has to be done. I'm sick of getting up every night. I think I've only slept twice through the whole night since we had her and both times are because she was having asleep over with my parents. (Thanks Mom & Dad)

She says DADA but we're sure she has no idea what it means. She is a gabbier box though. She talks all the time or is blowing raspberries at everyone. She's HILARIOUS!

She seriously gets no attention at home,or anywhere else for that matter. She's not spoiled at all, no one even likes her, it's really sad.... Ya Right

We love her to death. She's been so much fun lately and Jason and I are loving this age. She is so smiley and interactive. She's just the best thing ever!!

The Twisted Stitches...Our First Booth

Last saturday Courtney, my mom, and I set up a booth at the Highland Fling. Thanks to my friend Haylie who had rented the booth and let us move in on her space. We had a fun time and it was a really good experience. We didnt sell as much as we would have liked to but it was still a good time. I think next year we'll have to rent a booth or two at some different city's and see how those go.

Nasty Rash

Still Smiling even though she doesn't feel well

This is my Little baby with a nasty rash. Last Monday I dropped her off to my sister so I could go to work. When I was saying goodbye to Isabelle I noticed a small light rash on her shoulders but when I came to pick her up this is what she looked like. The pictures really don't do it justice, she was covered in red little dots. They were everywhere, on her ears, on her palms, the bottom of her feet, literally everywhere. She didn't really sleep that night but when she got up for the day on Tuesday the rash looked much worse. So into the doctor we went. Isabelle has been on amoxicillin for a couch that wouldn't go away. I was positive it was an allergic reaction. Her doctor said he didn't think it was an allergy and he was sure it was 5th's disease (which is just a virus). He said it should clear up in a day or 2. He was right, The next day she looked much better and by Thursday the rash was gone. Thank heavens for that, Isabelle hadn't been sleeping because she wasn't feeling well. Luckily, we're all back to our normal selves here at the Powell home.

Look at that cute bum :)
