9 Months Old

My Baby is 9 months old today :(

The rate at which a child grows is mind boggling.

This past month has been a fun one

(they all have been, shh..)

Isabelle has learned to walk...Kinda

Monday (Oct. 4th) Isabelle took 3 steps all by herself.

Since then she hadn't had much interest in walking until Yesterday.

Yesterday she was all about taking a few steps here and there.

She's going to start walking soon and I'm not ready for that yet.

She now has 2 bottom teeth and one more coming in (I think)

She says "Uh-Oh" when she drops stuff and it always makes me laugh

she's such a happy baby,

Always smiling

Clapping

or Laughing

We adore her

But who wouldn't love this face ???

Drews Birthday/ Anniversary Dinner

My cute Nephew Drew turned 5 this month.

He wanted to go to Pirate Island to celebrate. Arrr...

We had our own private cave, delicious pizza, and an arcade

What more could a 5 year old ask for?

Drew is the best person to watch open presents.

He gets tickled pink when all the paper is off the presents.

He says things like:

"This is what i always wanted for like my whole life"

(even though we all know he's never seen this "favorite thing" in his whole life)

(This is the pillowpet Drew wanted so badly)

After dinner and presents we played in the arcade.

Jason ended up winning a iPod shuffle out of the claw machine.

I've never seen anyone win anything out of those things.

When our tokens all ran out we ended up with 556 tickets.

Drew was so happy to get to pick his prizes.

All in all i think he had a pretty great birthday.

Anniversary Dinner

So our anniversary was 2 weeks ago.

We've come to find out that with a child and responsibilities

we don't get out exactly when we'd always like.

However we finally got to celebrate this weekend.

Jason took me to:

It was DELICIOUS!!!

and expensive, but totally worth it!

I would recommend it to everyone.

We had such a fun time but go when you're not being rushed.

It took us over 2 hours to eat.

All the food was mouth watering but the dessert was AMAZING!

It was called the White Chocolate Creme Brulee.

Its to die for.

We will definitely be back

Although with the prices it will probably be a while

BUMMER :(

First Tooth

Isabelle got her first tooth this week. She had a rough Sunday night, She woke up at 4:00 am screaming. I thought that maybe her leg got caught in the bars again. (that's right I said again). She was smack dab in the middle of her crib all rolled up in a ball. I tried rocking her back to sleep but every time I tried to lay her back in her crib she would start screaming again. She did finally go back to sleep an hour later. I had to wake the poor girl up to take her to Courtney so I could go to work. Courtney called me at work to tell me Isabelle had a tooth! I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed it but when I went to pick her up I realized why. You cant see it. (That's why I didn't include a picture in this post) Its literally just above the gum line on the bottom. You cant see it but you can feel it. I'm also pretty sure she's getting the one next to it. Oh Joy!

Happy Anniversary to Us

Today marks the 4th year Jason and I have been married. I cant believe its been that long. This last year has probably been the best year so far. We added Isabelle to our little family and we couldn't be happier to be her parents!

Happy Anniversary Babe!

I can't wait to see what the rest of our lives bring!

Laughing Ducks!

Yesterday we went and feed the Ducks at the "Wetlands" (Its a little park in the next neighborhood over from my parents house). By we I mean myself, Jason, Isabelle, Courtney, Drew, Preston, & My Dad. We found a jack pot of ducks in the pond. We feed them almost a whole loaf of bread. 3 of the ducks got really daring and came up by us to get some easy food. We had a good time but the bread was gone before we knew it. We decided it as time to leave. The ducks didn't seem to happy about this as they were quacking up a storm as we were leaving. As we headed back up the trail Drew Said.....

"Jason the ducks are laughing at you"

Then we all died laughing!!!

8 months

Isabelle is 8 months old now!! How does time go by so fast? It sure does make me sad that she's not so little anymore.

She's all over the place and into everything. The one thing she's not into (thank heavens) is the kitchen. She doesn't care for the tile to much.

She'll crawl on the tile but its definitely not her favorite.

She's turned into a sassy little thing.

She'll let you know exactly how she's feeling. You're either going to get the cutest squishy smile or you're going to have her scream at you. Its really funny either way though.

She Dances!!!

Its hilarious. If theres music on she's bouncing along to it. We love playing music videos just to see her move.

She's been spending a lot of time with her cousins and she adores them. They can make her laugh by just talking to her. Isabelle wants to be right there with them running and having fun. All to soon will she be trucking along besides them.

She's in love with frozen yogurt (Yes I know she's not supposed to have any yet)

She's learning things like crazy and can now says mama!

She's just the best little thing ever. We love her to pieces and cant imagine life without her.

She is our SUNSHINE!

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!
