Walking Girl!

Isabel is quickly becoming a walking girl!  She took her first steps the day after her birthday and she is walking quite a bit now!  Of course she hasn't wanted to walk at all when I would get the video camera out, silly girl.  I finally managed to get a quick video of her walking on my ipod yesterday!  I'm so proud of my big girl!

Our New Playground!

My mom surprised us at Isabel's birthday party with a new playground!  The boys have been so excited about it for 3 weeks and today we finally got it put together with the help of Papa!  It was a full days project to get it put together and the very second it was done we were outside playing on it!  All 3 kids  LOVE it and I can already tell we are going to get so much use out of it!

To say that we love it would be such an understatement!  I just know that we will get so much joy out of our playground!  Thank you mom for giving it to us and thank you Mike and Ron for spending an entire day putting it together! :-)

Isabel's 1 Year Check Up and Roseola

I took Isabel to her 1 year check up on Monday and she got a great report from the Dr.  She has seemed so big to me lately so I was anxious to see how much she had grown.  

Isabel's 1 Year Stats

Weight 21.3lbs 70%

Length 30in 75%

Head 18.in 71%

Gorgeous girl all ready for her check up

Waiting on the Dr

Isabel got a clean bill of health at her dr appointment but took a turn for the worse on Tuesday.  She woke up fine on Tuesday but seemed a little clingy, then Tuesday afternoon she had a fever.  It wasn't too high so I just assumed it was from the 2 top teeth that were coming in.  The fever stuck around all day Wednesday and Thursday.  She had no other symptoms so I was still thinking it could be teeth although at one point it got up to 102.5 and that is a little too high of a fever for teeth.  Finally she woke up this morning and was fever free!  I was glad that she was feeling better but was just kind of waiting for a rash to appear.  Eli had Roseola as a baby so I knew a fever with no other symptoms could be that.  Sure enough this afternoon I noticed a little rash on her neck and belly and it continued to spread throughout the evening.  I am glad she is feeling better but I definitely didn't mind all the cuddling this week.

29 and Feeling Fine!

Today I turned 29 and I had such a wonderful birthday with my little family!  We enjoyed a nice relaxing evening at home with my favorite dinner, Pizza Hut!  I feel so very blessed and I am excited to see what this year holds for me and my family of 5.  Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, it was a perfect day to turn 29.

What more could I ask for!
