Snow ice cream

Early in January we had some great snow. We decided to make some  snow ice cream. It was being posted on Facebook and we thought we would give it a try. I used too much sugar but it was still good. It melts super fast so you have to chow down. 

First snowfall

Last week we had our first snowfall. Issabella was pretty excited. 

She loves snow! She wanted to go sledding. She was really disappointed when she got up from her nap and the snow had melted.

Dear Issabella

On April 21, 2013 you turned 3. What a great weekend you had. We went to Chicago and you got to spend your birthday money at the "baby " store also known as american girl. 

 You had a tangled birthday and got to show off your new playground. 

You finally weigh 30 pounds. Big stuff! 

Your daddy and I are so proud of you. You are too smart for your own good  

What you are into right now...

*tutus

*singing any song on the radio 

*rainbow- your baby

*princesses 

*cowboy boots

We love you and can't believe you are already three. 

Love you peanut!

Water Fun with Carter!

Jenn, Casi, Carter, Issabella, and I went swimming for the first time altogether on 6-25-10. It was quite funny. Carter is just like his mom...no sun for him. You sure can tell which child belongs to which mommy.


I hope that these two grow up and become the best of friends!


Issabella did not want out of the water. She loves to take a bath so I knew she would like the pool...I did not know she would but up a fight when it was time to get out.

Some one the other day at Target asked me if my baby already had a tan...ha, ha, no I told her...just her skin color.

Smiles,
Cami

Dear Daddy

Dear Daddy,

Sunday was your first Father's Day! I know I am little and can't tell you with words how much I love you, but I sure do tell you with smiles and coos.

Love,
Issabella



Dear Seth,

Issabella is so lucky to be able to call you her dad! You protect her just as you have always protected me. I love it when the two of you have your daddy/daughter times. She loves to cheese with you and tell you stories and you tell her stories right back. I can't wait to see our little peanut grow up and I know we will always support her!

Love,Cami

Issabella's First 5K

On Sunday (6-6-10)Casi, Sue, Lisa, Issabella, and I went to Chicago for our first 5K since Issabella was born. The race was at Lincoln Park Zoo. Most of the race took place in the zoo! The animals looked like they were watching us walk. The cutest was a bear that was sunning on a rock with its tongue sticking out!


Issabella and I waiting for the race to start.

Walking With the Children...

Issabella and I went for a walk today. We took Chubs, who was not to thrilled to have someone else with us. He kept looking at her.



Bath time fun...the verdict is still out if she likes to take a bath.


This picture was taken on my phone and is not great...this is Issabella practicing her touchdown signal for when the Colts play.

Smiles,
Cami

Just too cute!

I love how you hold my finger when you eat.
I love how you look in the direction of when daddy is talking to you.

Hello Issabella

Dear Issabella,



You arrived today (April 21, 2010) at 5:55 a.m.! You really did not want to leave my tummy we had to really convince you to let us see you today! You weighed 7lbs 7oz and were 20 inches long. You did not really cry you just let us know that "Hello, I'm here!" Even when you got your shots you just complained twice and then you were happy. When the doctor gave you to me, I started talking to you and you immediately opened your eyes and looked at me. It made me think you were thinking, "Hey I know that voice, but why is it so much closer to me?" Daddy was the first to put your diaper on and the first person to dress you. He sure does love you, I can see it in his face when he looks at you. I even catch him giving you little kisses. You really like to be held for only a little bit and then you like to just lay down and rest. Your daddy and I are so proud of you and we love you very much!

Love,
Mommy
