VALENTINE'S HERE WE COME!!!!

Once again we had her pictures done at Target. I love it when they need us to come in for training purposes. We get FREE pictures and then they use our pictures in the studio for advertisement. How fun is that. And Isabella is such a great candidate to have pictures taken cause she loves the camera. This time, however, she could crawl to the camera faster than they could take her pictures.... We all got a good cardio-workout chasing her around. ENJOY!!!

Yes! She's Walkin' Folks!

We caught her first time walking on video. I can't believe it. I know she's not walking by herself but she is still walking in my book. She is not even 9 months old yet. Our house is once again changing because she is mobile 'on foot' now. ENJOY!

Busy Fingers!

Today while we were at lunch Preston and I were talking and eating lunch. During our bites we would feed our darling daughter some of her puffs then continue eating. Well a couple of bites went by and I realized that I hadn't given my daughter any puffs because she was no longer demanding them, cause she was busy. When I looked at her she had some blue stringy sticky stuff attached to her hand and was pulling on it from underneath the table. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! SHE FOUND GUM! I exclaimed! GRRRROOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSS! We cleaned her up and got her hands sanitized. As we finished cleaning her up I soon realized that.... AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH she's chewing on something blue!!!!!. I reached in her mouth and with my finger I pulled out some of that blue stringy sticky stuff. My daughter had picked off someone's gum off the bottom of the table and put it in her mouth. I was totally disgusted and felt like I was going to puke. These are the times of busy and quick little fingers. Thought I'd share the experience with all of you.

Dallas Here We Come!

My best friend Julie and I planned a trip to Dallas for one of her daughter's birthday parties. Since my parents were going to see Phil and Kelly. I got the best of two worlds. Isabella and I got to see family and friends this past weekend. It was our first time away from daddy.. something I don't think we'll be doing again any time soon... we both missed him horribly. After seeing my brother and his family I headed to meet Julie for a girls weekend. Isabella took right to Julie(she will be proud I put that in here.) The picture of Isabella laying on the bed was right after we got to the hotel and she was bushed. She got to meet Cinderella, she found herself in a mirror, learned what it's like to sleep in a hotel crib (not good), and went swimming. Oh, and had lots of play time with Aunt Julie. ENJOY!

8 months old

Once again it amazes us how time flies when you're having a blast. Soon she will be 1...then off to college she goes. :( Tear.... oh well... we will enjoy the moments we share as they come. ENJOY!

Dancing To Music!

Mimi and Papa got her this ball toy for Christmas that she loves. She has recently started dancing with the music that plays. Watch closely.

Rubber Ducky Advertisement Poster

Does anyone else see this as the new "Rubber Ducky Advertisement?" I my self think it is priceless. She loves her bath time.

BOO BOO!

She pulled up on my rocker the other day and before I could get to her she pulled the T.V tray over on her. Without stopping she burst into tears and looked at me like I did it. She busted her head open enough to make her bleed. I think it hurt me worse than her. After some much needed T.L.C she was back at it in no time. And with some neosporin and ice the evidence of damage was gone in about 2 days. And it didn't scar. Thank God!

Play Time!

She is on the move all the time now. It's hard to get her to sit still for pictures.

New Bed Time Fun!!

So recently she has mastered "not going to sleep" instead she loves to stand and play in her crib. In the video watch closely as she hands mommy the decals she has pulled off the wall...listen closely at the beginning and you can hear her banging on the wall.

Bowling Day!

This past Sunday some of us met up in Owasso to go bowling for my cousin Wendi's & Johnny's birthdays. We had a blast. Thank you Joe, Leah Mom and Dad for making it possible. I think Gab and Isabella had more fun playing then we did bowling. Since none of the bowling balls fit us properly our hands and thumbs were quit "raw" when we left. But it was still an enjoyable time with the family.

They played so well with each other.

Look at them go.....!!!!!

"Are we done yet with the whole picture thing?"

Gab was the best at sharing that day.

They look so mischievous

Johnny and Aunt Leah
