Play Ground Fun...

This is always right next to where we picnic so we all have tons of fun on it!
It is fun to be a kid again....
swinging and sliding!!!
Bella and Wyatt on the perch of the swing set....
Daddy...are you too big to slide?
Guess Not!
Wyatt...strong enough to do the zip line!
Weee.....

Annual Brown County Trip...

It was a B-E-A-U-T-iful day to spend outside having fun with family...
We played football...really just about all of us had our hands or feet on the ball at one point! Bella and Wyatt had a blast keeping up with the guys and chasing the ball around!
Had a delicious picnic even though the bees were the worse I have ever seen!
Took a hike and got many good pictures!
Bella and Wyatt found many sticks and used their imaginations to make a build all sorts of things!
It was lots of fun as always something that I look forward to each year!

I love FALL....

Fall is in the air....
One of the things I love about Indiana is the change of seasons....
Fall and Spring being my favorite!
I love the smell that is in the air, the big harvest moon, the crisp nights, pulling your jeans and sweaters out, big mums in bloom, apple cider, chili, warm crock pot meals!
What fun time of the year and we enjoyed being out in it today!

Finding Our Pumpkins...

On the search for the great pumpkins...

Taking the tractor hayride out to the pumpkin patch...
Bella enjoying the ride...
The search in on....we are looking for 3 pumpkins

This one is too heavy....
Looking all around....
How about this one?
This is Bella's perfect pumpkin....as you can tell she is very proud of it!
We found 3 we loved... A Tall one for Daddy, Medium for Mommy and
Little one for Bella!

Russell Farms...

This is what happened 15minutes before we arrived at the farm so we
didn't know how the trip would end up
but she did great with only a 30 minute nap for the day!

She loved the tire horsey!

Our cute little scarecrow! Let at that big pumpkin!
The petting farm with daddy....She thought the turkeys were really funny!
and the piggies too!
Driving the tractor!

Today was a picture perfect fall day! We took advantage and hit the pumpkin patch! What fun we had!!! Russell Farms was a great spot for Bella's age. Lots of tractors and horseys to ride on, a petting farm and other animals to look at . In addition to the reason for going hayride and pumpkin patch!

#3...in 8 weeks...

One Tough Cookie....
Bella checking out her new prescription....
Poor Bella now has her 3rd ear infection in 8 weeks!!! She is tough, shows signs like a cold but for the most part continues to be our happy little girl! We were going for our ear check from the last ear infection and found this one, she also got her flu mist today in hopes to protect her from the flu! We have a call in with Dr Miyamoto to see what the next step is because Dr Layman said looks like tubes might be in Bella's future but how that all works with Bella's little ear we will have to figure out! For now, we will start another antibiotic and pray our little one gets some relief!!!

Willy Worm....

We found a willy worm....
We saw it hanging around the house two days in a row!
Bella touching it for the first time to see how soft it was!
Bella torturing the poor thing with her wand...maybe she was casting a spell!!?!?!

Emily comes to our house to play...

Playing outside...
Dress up time....
and of course snack time!
After Mom's Day Out on Friday Emily got to come home and play with us! The girls were busy all over the place exploring all the toys! They had lots of fun playing and we were glad to have Emily over!

I hadn't been to play group in 2 months but Bella had! I was soooo glad to see all the girls and kiddos again! I think sometimes play group is more for me than bella! Thanks goodness for girlfriends!


Music Class is Back....

Doing her "baba" beats with Miss Trish....
Miss Holly was on a Disney cruise this week!

Getting her instruments

Miss Annie had us over so we could play after class! MiMi and Bella had so much fun! As you can see they were still entertaining us at lunch!

We are so excited to be back in music class! Bella loves it and it is fun to see Ann and MiMi each week too!

2 year update...

At 2....
She weighs 24 1/2lbs (25 percentile)
She is 34inches tall (75percentile)

Izabella continues to be the joy of our life! We love watching her learn, grow and love! She is already very independent and certain about what she wants yet very sweet and loving too! Loves to give Big Hugs and kisses all the time. Will cuddle with you especially in the morning and night but throughout the day too, which we love! She loves to sing all the time, lots of well known songs and her own made up songs too. She knows her ABC, and a triangle and star...the other shapes along with her colors it depends what day you ask her. I have heard her count to 12 but skips 4 or 5 a lot. She is not a picky eater just picky about what you give her at times, likes her variety! She continues to be a great sleeper and sleeps 10-12 hours at night and still takes a 2-3 hour nap! Bella's imagination is huge: she takes great care of her babies, always making us something to eat in her kitchen, and loves to dress up. She will let us read to her for hours and sometimes reads back to us! All 4 of her 2 year-molars are breaking threw right now. Her vocabulary is really exploding Tim and I have noticed just in the last couple of weeks she is full of questions, "what are you doing", "what happened?", "where'd it go?" She is very polite and always says thank you, now when she burps she says, "what's that" and then "excuse me"....pretty cute! She recognizes cars of friends and family...we were driving the other day and a car like Miss Jenny's pulled up and she said, Emily, then when we pulled in the drive way Papaw's truck was there and she said Papaw. She loves all vehicle, firetrucks, tractors, bull dozers and will point them out to me while we are driving!

What fun we are having!

We continue to thank our lucky stars that we are blessed with her as our daughter and look forward to each and every day with her!


Wyatt joins in...

Is that you, Wyatt...he wasted no time and had a bag full of apples
in 5 minutes!
Had to get some way up high with Daddy's help!
Taking a break enjoying an apple!
Too cute!
Wyatt joined us at the end of our outing...we were so glad he could make it!
