izzy's new back yard

There are some cottonwood trees over the hill-about 1/4 mile away from where the trailer will set and then fields and farther off, the mountains...isn't it pretty!?! Can't wait for you to come and see it!

Izzy's new front yard

Isabella LOVES her new front yard. of course she'll

love it more when she has a house there too. We're hopeing to move in by the end of June!!! Can't wait to be TT with some pet chickens running around!

It is going to be so much fun! We want to plant some fruit trees and maybe in the next few years I'll finally realize my "bee dream" Good times.

mother's day

I got exactly what i wanted for mother's day... a white mountain ice cream freezer...izzy helped me with our first batch of MANY to come! Isn't she sweet?!

izzy has a friend over

They were so excited to go to "tumbling tot" where they got to play with a parachutte and go through obsticle courses...

And they totally wore themselves out! Izzy has made a balance beam of every parking cement thing since.

Just like Mamma

I will refrain from trying to call her a celestrial being because my mom informed me I referred to my daughter as the point where two lines intersect on a former entry...I never claimed to be a great speller...I hate spelling, actually...anyway I figure this isn't a job application so you'll figure out what I'm talking about.

I was so excited when Izzy got this outfit for Christmas from Jo and Frank. I immediately thought about takeing these pics...aren't they precious? Just in time for mother's day.

Doesn't that pic just melt your heart? I think my turn for being the fav is coming soon...she's been a daddy's girl since december...time to switch!

Winter family pics

Is that a beautiful baby or what!?!

We had so many beautiful snows and somehow we managed to make it all winter without a family pic in the snow so when I woke up on Cinco de Mayo to a blizzard, I was actually a little happy because I knew we had one more chance.

random pics of Izzy 2

Isabella is going to be so sick of Indian ruins when she's older. She won't appreciate it having seen them her whole life...maybe we'll get lucky. She is really into her "bebes" (babies) right now. she owns four and likes to keep every last one of them in her lap or car seat. The other day we were driving somewehre and Doug started chuckleing because you could barely see her face over all the dolls in her lap.

Grandma taught izzy to play in the dirt...i'm actually really glad because she was getting pretty squemish about dirt on her hands and that just wasn't going to fly in with her mamma and dada.

We haven't taken our easter pics yet, so you'll be seeing this outfit agian soon.

another sweet thing isabella did recently:

Every morning we discuss whose juice is whose. We say over and over and over, "izzy's juice" Mamma's juice" etc. The other day Izzy was saying,"that Mamma's juice" over and over. then she looked me right in the eye

and said, "I mamma's" And she got whatever she wanted the rest of the day.

Mom was asking her,"are you grandma's girl?' on the phone today and she said, "i mamma's"

Isabella is really starting to talk...she says about three new words a day and says little sentences, too. Her first sentence about a month ago was "i night-night"

Now she says "i" "you" "want" "ride" "mine" of course, etc. She also has called three people at church by name completely unsolicited. I hurt my toe pretty bad the other day and Doug put a band aid on it, etc. and Isabella started crying and saying, "mamma hurt" over and over and she wouldn't stop until doug brought her back to where I was and I showed her that I was ok...sweet girl.

Happy Baby

Isn't she a doll?

Lala and Papa

Lala and Papa came up for a few days...Izzy got spoiled and hasn't slept through the night since! She cried for her Lala for a few dasys, it was sweet, but sad.

Mesa Verde

I have a new obsession...Indian ruins/history...Isabella likes it too because she gets to drive the car through the park or stand with her head sticking out the sun roof with her hair and tounge wagging in the breeze like a puppy...good parenting.
