Funny Little Munchkin

Look who found a magic box . . .


I was literally on the phone for about 20 seconds and she about emptied a whole box of tissues. What a stinker! But she was so happy in her pile of tissues that I couldn't resist taking a picture and laughing about it the whole time. I wish the picture did the pile of tissues justice. There were so many all around her that it was hilarious! Needless to say, she now wants to empty this box every time she is in our bedroom now.

Happy Birthday!

OK, so this post is obviously late since Izzie's birthday was on Sept 2, but at least I'm doing it now, right? We've just been so darn busy lately that it's hard to find minute to blog. When I have the choice of shower or blogging, I usually pick shower. Sorry! Anyway, we're now done traveling for the summer and hopefully things settle down for a while.

We had a super fun birthday party for Izzie. Since it was her first birthday, we invited everyone —grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Iz was spoiled with fun gifts like clothes and toys and books and puzzles. Her current favorite is a stuffed kitty that she holds and giggles because she likes it so much. It's a great distraction from the dishwasher too. If she's "helping" me load dishes, I just ask her where her kitty is and she'll go find it.

We also took Izzie to her one-year check up. She now has the all clear to eat whatever she wants (even though we were basically giving her everything anyway). We were able to face her car seat forward, which she is still thinking is totally weird. She has 4 teeth on top that are all breaking through (fun nights for me and Todd). Her stats: 92nd in height (wow!) and 70th in weight. And she is basically just growing up so fast we can hardly believe it. We love playing with her and watching her play and entertain herself as well. She does such funny things! Anyway, we love Iz so much, we can hardly stand it. So to prove how much we love her, here's a ton of pics for you to enjoy!

With her grandmas


Super smiley and cute!

Last Hawaii Trip

We're done traveling for the summer, so here's a few pics from our last trip over to Hawaii.

Izzie is now brave enough that she crawls right down to the water.

Playing in the sand is one of her FAVORITES!

Hanging out in the shallow end of the pool at our condo.

Getting a little too daring and wanting to hang over the side of the pool chair.

Iz discovered she loves snuggling into a bunch of pillows. What a fun game!

Her first pig tails! :)

Rockin' her Pooh sunglasses once again.

On the Pineapple Express at the Dole Plantation with mommy.

Just being SUPER CUTE! (P.S. This was the pic on Good Things Utah!)
