Jumper

Bella loves Grandma's jumper but most of the time she is peeking around to make sure that she isn't missing out on the fun somewhere else.

This was an awesome day and we are so grateful for those who came to support us. Steve did a wonderful job blessing our little Isabella. Two sad things occured throughout the day... one being the day had to end and everyone had to leave. The second is I was so enthrolled in the excitement of the day that I didn't get pictures of Isabella in her blessing gown with everyone there. But here are a few that were taken.. Thanks!

Christmas in Idaho

Steve, Isabella, and I had a wonderful White Christmas season. Thank you to all of the family that was able to come to Idaho for a spell. It was so great to spend some quality time and share our beautiful girl with you. I was privy to The Quinn DeMordaunt Spa, family fun, and Kyle and Melissa's Brie Bake... twice. I'm sad to think that Santa probably didn't bring as much as normal to the rest of you. I think he dropped most of it at 961 East 25th. Isabella was completely enthused with the wrapping paper and her Baby Doll (my old baby doll). She finally had someone smaller than her that she wanted to talk to or I guess she thought could relate to her. She also loved her cousins and can't wait to see them again soon.

Hard at Work

Steve took charge of the morning shower and getting dressed events prior to church. I think he appreciates my days a bit more now, considering it wasn't 20 mins after that they both fell asleep. I don't know who was more worn out.

Ahhhhh Relief

Sleeping during the day is something that Isabella has not mastered yet. This is the reason for the picture. We needed to document the few times she sleeps for over 1 hour.

Budding Beauty

She despised her costume so these are the only pictures we could get without her wanting to make mom and dad pay later!

Halloween Prep

First Halloween preparation gear!

Pumpkin Carving Time

We finally got the nerve to climb to the top of our garage and get the box down with all the supplies needed for pumpkin carving... and away we carved. Kim and Kelsey helped with the layout and craftmanship. We were very proud of the end result especially when trick-or-treaters wanted the pumpkins for next year instead of candy.
