Uh Oh!

Izzy has learned a new meaning of "Uh Oh"! I put her down for a nap the other day and went back to our room to fold clothes. The monitor was real quiet for a few minutes, so I thought Izzy was asleep. Then all of the sudden, Jeremy and I hear Izzy talking. So, we turn the monitor up to listen. We were rolling in the floor because Izzy was telling herself jokes. We would hear her talking, talking, talking, then ha! ha! ha! This went on for several minutes then it was quiet again. Then we hear..."Uh Oh!" Jeremy and I decided that we might need to check on her. We are rounding the corner and we finally "smell" why she said "Uh Oh". Now every time you hear Izzy say this, you can guess why! This isn't too good for the potty training because she says it too late!

New Christmas Pictures!

I stole some pictures from Hamilton's blog! (I hope thats okay, Melissa!?) These pictures are so cute of Izzy and Hamilton together! Isn't he adorable!?

Izzy looks like a bully here! She was just studying Hamilton!

Izzy was showing Hamilton how to play with his new toy!

She loves to pat people on the back!

Hamilton is being so patient!

Izzy was trying to help him out...she was determined to get that pacifier in his mouth!

I think Hamilton was cutting another tooth!

Hamilton was so excited about his new toy!

This was the teacher coming out! I pulled Loren's tooth!

Izzy's new pictures!

We had some extra pictures made of Izzy at Christmas time!

This is very late....I know!

Izzy had a wonderful Christmas! I think she finally knows who Santa is after several visits with him this Season. On Christmas Eve, Santa brought Izzy a present early at Bebe and Grandad's house. She acted better around him when he was handing her toys! The next morning, Izzy woke up to Bebe, Grandad, Aunt SaySay and Uncle Matty, and a new kitchen from Santa. She was so excited that she screamed! We got it all on video! She was so excited about her new kitchen, that I had to open up the rest of her presents. After a huge breakfast, we loaded up the car and headed for Arkansas to surprise Nawna and Grampy. Christmas continued for the next two days in El Dorado! Isabella had so much fun playing with stickers with Aunt Jennifer and Melissa while Jeremy and I played video games with Loren and Jared. Enjoy the pictures, I know they're a little late!

Check out Izzy's hair on Christmas morning!

We had to explain to Izzy that this basket was for her new baby doll!

"With Mom...."

"Without Mom!"

Hamilton has grown so much!

The Black Eye!

(She has a cracker in her mouth.)

Izzy has her first, and hopefully last, black eye! She tripped over her pajama pants right before bed Saturday night, and hit under her eye on the trunk upstairs. After several tears, some from her, but mostly from me, I moved the piece of furniture out of the room. Izzy was very brave. The eye turned blue instantly, and looked worse the next morning. Jeremy had to talk me into going to church that morning. I didn't want anyone to see her. She looked awful! Her eye was almost swollen shut. I felt like I had to scream before we walked into every room, "she fell on a trunk"! Everyone was great at church. They told me their stories of raising kids and it made me feel so much better! So.....when your child falls for the first time, you know who to call to make you feel better! Children are tougher than we think, new parents!
