4 Year Check Up

So today we went for our 4 year check up with Dr. Berger. Isabel gets excited to see him I think she still has a crush on him...
She is in the 75% for height at 40 1/2inches and the 50% for weight at 34 1/2 pounds.
Her BMI was 30%, can you believe they calculate that at this age. She also passed her eye and hearing test with flying colors!
How cute does she look in the gown?

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY :)

Today was Isabel's birthday (and Valentines day). Her other birthdays she was happy it was her birthday BUT turning 4 was SUCH a big deal. She woke up on cloud nine, "AWWWW Mommy, sorry no more 3 I am 4" Mimi and Nana Pauline came over and we took her for a special birthday breakfast, & the waitress brought her over a piece of cake (huge) with a candle to sing, she totally loves that, acts shy but eats up all the attention. Then we went to dancing school where we had to bring munchkins for her class, so more junk. Ran a few errands and back to the house where she played GO FISH. Then it was off to pick up the cake. It was ginormous, but oh so cute.


We ran to pick up Hunter then off we went to her party. The kids were so excited but Isabel, Oh man I can't explain it she was so hyper I have never ever seen her this excited not even in Disney. She would get crazy for each and every person that came, she truly was so happy to see each of her friends show up.
The swimming was perfect all the kids had a blast, it was a full hour of swimming and none of them seemed to be out of the water for a second.

The party was a hit, we all had a good time. Saf-T-Swim did a great job too!
We might be swimming every year for her party!

Level 3 test completed!

Isabel finally got her Bronze medal for Level 3 (ok shhhh our secret but they had no more bronze medals & gave her a gold) she was so excited that was all she wanted for WEEEEEEEEEKS. Each swim day would be "Hey mom if I do a good job will I get a medal?" When she realized she might get a medal tonight she was so happy that she could show all her friends for her party.

Todays Photo shoot

Lisa had a great idea, she said I should take some pictures so that I could make a new header, OK well that she can make one. I didn't feel like setting anything up so there they were sitting on the playmobil desk, window curtain drawn back, and pants and socks under the dress. The lollipop is the only thing that got the girls to cooperate. Since they were in such a good mood to take pictures I only wish I put a little more effort into it.






Sera and Hailie had a less "sassy" attitude and there pictures turned out really cute too!

Crowded house :)



Tuesdays for a short layover in time we have a crowded house. Even though I spend the day changing and feeding someone at every minute of the day, it is fun to see them all here. Only for a short time each kid has someone there age to play with, and it is fun to watch them interact.

Bon Jovi's BFF

So we are in the car talking and listening to music, Isabel says
- momma this is Bon Jovi right?
It was the song Who says you can't go home. So I said
- Sure Isabel do you like this song?
She says
-Yes and you know who Bon Jovi's best friend is?
- BARACK OBAMA, he loves to sing and dance to his music!
I was hysterical laughing, I could not figure out how she would put the 2 together she likes a few of his songs, is learning about presidents and about our new one in school BUT to put the 2 of them together as best friends, just thought it was too funny. Now she is getting annoyed I ask her all the time "Hey Isabel who is Bon Jovi's best friend again", just to hear her say it, plus I love the way she says Barack Obama.

" I can feel my heart"

Today I was running around trying to get us to walk out the door and Isabel was waiting for me on the couch, the way she was laying her hands were on her chest and I guess she could feel her heart beat. She looked at me in an odd way, I said what's the matter hon and she said "Mommy I can feel my heart now, it means now it has love" it was the sweetest thing she really was so intense about it. She comes out with little things everyday that just makes me sit back and wonder what did I ever do without her.

MORE ice skating

I had the week off which does not happen often and tried to spend the week taking Isabel out. We went ice skating 3 times in one week. She did great. She does more of a run fast then actually skate but she is getting there. She really enjoys it and is so proud of herself. I wish I had the time and money to get her lessons.





This day she kept falling to the fall on purpose and then saying "mom take a picture" it was so funny. Poor Jeanine, Isabel was whining over her gloves and she gave up hers to make my little angel happy.

Christmas Morning

Slept later then I thought she would but she woke up walked in the living room and almost froze she just stood there staring. Then the first thing she did was check to see if he ate the cookies and guess what she was upset that he left a piece, out of 3 cookies he ate 2 1/2 and she was upset that he didn't finish. So we opened a few presents Barbies from the Diamond castle, Thumblina, Leapster and more playmobile. Anthony then came over to watch her open her big gift from Santa. She got her playmobile hospital. WOW that must have taken him SUCH A LONG time to put together almost 4 hours (just guessing)






Isabel went to her dads for a little while after to open yet more presents then I went to pick her up to bring her home and we just chilled out in out pj's and played will all our new stuff.

Christmas Eve

Worked in the morning, the kids were so hyper, all the talk about Santa coming was just to much I guess. It was fun totally made me remember being a kid and that pit in your belly from all the anticipation. We went over to Mimi's for a little bit before heading to Belmont for dinner.





Watching and waiting for her cousins to come to eat

Is my godchild not the cutest???


Had to bring baby Hailie of course and Aunt Jeannette bought her a new seat!



Went back to Mimi's to open presents, again the kids were so hyper they were so excited it was really neat to watch them open up their gifts.
Isabel got a barbie castle like house, her ambulance, she loves her calender, lots of stocking stuffers.




About 9 or so we left to go to Maureen's to wait for Santa. We always go over there it is so nice, so many people come, and they have such a great way at making oyu feel like family.
All the kids were lined up at the window to wait for santa and when they heard those bells and saw him at the window it was priceless to see all their faces.
When Isabel heard Santa call her name she was in heaven. Santa gave her walkie talkies and can you believe he forgot batteries. It was so cute she was calling them "hearing things" all night get it?? cause you hear each through them....hehehe



Then it was home around 11 still to get out the cookies, milk and carrots before bed. So wired I didnt think she would ever go to sleep. Salem decided to hide from Santa in a bag.

Christmas party's... :)

Our first Christmas party was at Dylans house (well Kristen's house...lol) it was fun Isabel had a great time and I got to take home a bottle of wine. They had a train that went around the tree but the kids could sit on it and ride it. That was a big hit for Isabel.



On the 19th also Joseph's birthday "Happy Birthday Joseph" Isabel had her school "Christmas Play" it was the story of Mary & Joseph trying to find a place at the INN and the children were getting ready for Jesus' "birthday party". They sang some songs and all the kids had a few lines. It was really cute but you could totally not understand anything they were saying the kids all of a sudden became so shy. After the play they got to eat desserts, and open a present left under the school tree.

Doesn't this cupcake look delicious??

"Little Drummer Boy"


On saturday there was a small party at dancing school too. After a little while of dancing there was lots of goodies to eat and pass around. All the girls were so excited.



That afternoon we went to New Jersey for a holiday family get together. Isabel had the best time. She was having so much fun playing with Caitlyn and Amanda. Poor Caitlyn, Isabel followed her around everywhere, wanted to do everything just like her. The girls played so nice together I love seeing her with family.
