Have Fun

Izzy and her sunglasses. They got broken today, but I found her another pair.



Working on the computer. (Please don't look at the curtains. They are going away, they don't look right, but I have not had a chance to find what I want and I am NOT putting the blinds back up.)

Today, Izzy and I went to Hillsboro to meet her Mama G and Papa. She is going to spend a couple of nights with them. I am sure that she will have a great time... actually, when I talked to her earlier she was so busy that she really didn't say much and she really didn't care that I was on the phone. She did learn something new today.... she learned what a bunny says?!? I can't wait to see it in person when she gets home. I didn't know bunnies said anything but my mom and dad say they do and taught Izzy.

Anyway, it was a busy afternoon. I met Jodi for lunch and had a great time. We were able to talk about all kinds of things and not get interrupted by one of the girls... thanks and can't wait for the next time. I took a great picture of Jodi spinning the birthday wheel but she didn't want me to post it.... I should ask for votes and if we get a couple that say yes, I will ask her again=0

Tonight, Don took me out on a date... it has been almost three years since the day we met. We have had a busy three years haven't we? He wouldn't tell me where he was taking me. It was kind of scary when he started to head west on K-96 into the middle of no where. When we passed the last known road.... I started to get really nervous. He took me to the Carriage crossing in Yoder. We have heard about it and have talked about going there, but we have never taken the time. It was sooooooo good. We ate so much that we came home and fell asleep. Thank you... what a great surprise.

WANTED: Warm Weather

Izzy is going stir crazy as you can see from the following pictures. We need to be able to go to the park. Izzy and I go to the park once a day and we have not been able to go in a week... HELP!



She would not wear clothes, but she would wear her hat.



Abbey likes to lay on the heater vent. Today, she had to share with Izzy and her toys.



Finally, some clothes. She can now open the pantry door...



Just like her daddy did when he was younger.



Oh My...



Dizzy Izzy... she loves to spin.

Finally... some new pictures of Izzy

We were so happy to hear that Maddie and Veronica were coming to town. We all went to my mom and dad's in Abilene... the girls had a ball. We gave Maddie an EARLY birthday present... backpack, matching lunch box and notebook cover. She loved it!



Two little monkeys jumping on the bed...


one fell down and bumped her head....

Maddie, Aunt V and Izzy dancing.


What a beauty queen... look at that pose.


Everyone playing in the girls room.


Papa and his girls laying down for an afternoon nap. Yes, this is Izzy's third outfit and we are still on the same day. She is a messy girl.


Maddie and Grandma Betty.


Thanks to cousin Olivia for inviting us to the Zoo.


look at that grin...


Izzy was being camera shy.... the other babies LOVE the camera.

Sorry we have been lazy again. Things have been busy around here. Poor Izzy had her first ear infection. She has been well so far this season. Last Thursday ended that. It has been a long few days and poor Daddy has been sleeping on the couch. There just isn't enough room for the three of us in bed... especially when Izzy sleeps sideways. I am hoping that she will be able to be back in her own bed tonight... her cough seems to be gone and she is back to her crazy self.

WSU Halftime show

Well, I have decided to go back to work... well, if you can call getting paid to work out work. I have been doing Jazzercise for around five years and have always loved it and thought it was a fun work out. A few months ago I was approached by the owner of the facility that I belong to , asking if I would be interested in being an instructor. What a joke... Me? No way! I would have to pass a movement screening first, so I thought... hey why not give it a shot... if you pass, it will make you feel good about yourself.. figuring there would be a small chance that I would pass. Sure enough I passed. After going back and forth for a few weeks I decided that I would go for it... if I am going to work out, might as well make a little spending money for us. I have been training since December for workshop in Oklahoma City. I get to spend a weekend there... the agenda came last night. YIKES... I don't know if I can Jazzercise for THREE days. Anyway, Friday when we get there we have an audition.... hopefully, I will pass. That way I won't have to turn around and come home all in one day. Keep your fingers crossed!

The video is our halftime performance last night at WSU. It was a lot of fun... I CAN NOT believe how young those college kids look. I felt very old sitting there... then when I had to go down in front of them... AHHHHHH. It was great, I had a ball~Enjoy and don't laugh too hard!

Izzy and her friends...

Today Izzy had some of her friends over to play. The kids had a great time and this time they all actually played with each other. It was fun to watch them play and laugh!! Thanks for coming everyone... I had a great time.
Here are some pictures from our day....

Today, Izzy tried pulling Zoey around the floor by her tail... if you look at her hand, Zoey put an end to that...
Izzy's first booboo.

Airplane...

Not sure if we have any readers left... but, here is a very cute video of Izzy and Daddy eating dinner. I promise that I will get back in the mood for blogging!
We have a very busy week with exciting things happening... stay tuned.

Happy New Year!

This year, the three of us were invited to a New Years' Eve Party.
The party was at Izzy's friend Ruven's house.
Thanks to Kimarie and Larry for inviting us.
We had a great time bringing in the new year with you all.
(we forgot our camera... only had Don's blackberry... sorry pictures are blurry!)



Do I look OK?

Izzy and Ruven just hanging out.



Izzy made Ruven some snacks in his awesome kitchen.
She played in this kitchen ALL night.
