Visit with Paige (& More)

I am just not good at updating as often as I should, but at least I am trying, right? :) We just had a wonderful few days with Paige here for a visit and I managed to not get a single picture of her with the kids! We did do a lot of fun things and went for lots of walks and had lots of Starbucks, which is pretty much all we need for a good time together. I do have some other pictures to update with though, so here they are:

Bella had her 1 year check up last week and weighed in at 16 lb, 6 oz. Not quite on the chart, but the Dr is not at all worried about her growth and she is just such a healthy happy little girl and growing at her own pace!






































We got to go to a super fun Star Wars birthday party of our friends Christian and Landon. The kids could even bring their light sabers and battle with them! There was also a ball pit that both of the kids enjoyed.


































































Izaac's preschool had a field trip to OMSI, a science museum. We had a great time and Izaac got to pet a real walking stick bug.



















We have also been spending as much time as possible with our friends. Here is a picture of Izaac with Hannah & Luke (aka Darth Mal, Princess Lea, & Batman) today.

Bella's 1!!!

I can't believe our little baby is one already. I got an e-mail today that said a 1 year old can be called a toddler, but I am just not there yet, so she is still a baby in my book. She is not walking yet, but she is getting very close. She says mama, dada, baba (brother), oof (woof), kkkee (kitty), up, and hi. She also signs more, please, and all done. What a big girl. She is such a joy and we are so thankful for her little precious life.

Bella enjoyed cake at her birthday/super bowl party on Sunday!














She was all worn out after our friend Luke's 3rd birthday party on her birthday morning.




















We spent her birthday afternoon at the park and with our friends Hailey and Michael.




















Thought I should put in some pictures of the work crew too. We had such a great time with grandma here and got SO MUCH done! (Thanks mom!!!!) We listed our house today and hope to get our sign and start getting some showings in the next few days.
