Early Halloween

Jeremy and I are going to Kauai and are going to miss Izzy's second Halloween. We have tried to enjoy as much of October as we can before we go. Here are some pictures of us at the pumpkin patch, and a Halloween party. She turned out to be an adorable ladybug!

(Yep, that's black icing all over her face!)

Here are a few pictures from our San Francisco trip. Izzy was sick the whole time, but we still had fun. Izzy was so tired, she fell asleep in her stroller....so cute!

Izzy walking!

Izzy is finally walking! She cut her first tooth and took her first five steps on the same day. We got a cute video today. Just FYI, Izzy loves to take the dogs out for a walk. I know the leash in the video might seem random. Those of you that haven't seen her in a while will notice she is talking more, as well. Hope you guys find this video as cute as we do!

Izzy's Birthday Weekend!

We were so blessed to have all of Jeremy's family to come stay with us this past weekend! So, we celebrated Izzy's birthday all day Saturday. Izzy had so much fun playing with her new toys. NawNaw and Grampy got her a drum set, and a leap pad book. As you can tell, Izzy learned fast how to hit the drum. Jeremy and I got her a pony. (It had to be girly, of course!) Once Jeremy, and Jared put it together, she loved it! Jennifer, Clint, Jared and Loren brought her a princess little people castle. Melissa got some adorable pictures of Izzy playing with the castle. It soon became the centerpiece for a table at the party that night. Finally, Melissa, Jason, and Hamilton got her a finger puppet set. Izzy loves playing with all her new toys!

I was worried about Izzy being too tired for her party that night. Surprisingly, she took two long naps that day! Jeremy, and the family went shopping during the day, while Loren stayed home with Izzy, and I. Mom came over to help us get the house decorated. Mom made the house look beautiful! Loren was a huge help babysitting Izzy! Melissa took great pictures of the house decorated......

About 45 friends and family came to Izzy's party. She had her own special cake to eat. We tried to get her to stuff it all in her mouth, but she just picked at it. She loved having everyone sing to her. After eating cake, Izzy opened all her presents. (She got way too many by the way!) Everyone was too generous! You can see in some of the pictures below that Izzy has about 15 bows in her hair. Kristen gave all those to her. I love bows!!!

Right before the party, we sat Izzy on the table to get pictures of her in her party dress. Everyone was taking pictures! Izzy was so excited, she started turning around on the table. It was so cute! She just isn't loved enough!

The party was so much fun! Thank you everyone for coming!

Izzy has a cold, but she still manages to have the sweetest personality! I had to upload this adorable picture for the family to see how much she has grown!
