Ok... really.

We had a lot of hiccups with getting internet here. Everyone thought everywhere in Daybreak had free fiber optic internet. I guess there are a few streets that just don't get it.

We finally have it, and I am committed to keep this blog up. I love reading all the blogs of our family and friends. So I need to give to get right?

And you know our blogs are the best with pictures of the cute little people in our lives...

Without further ado.

I have several pictures from this summer.

First off, my little fishy girl. She can swim underwater about three feet by herself. She loves going underwater and could swim all day if I'd let her. You can really see her missing tooth here now.






For Jeremy's birthday Izze got him the DJ Lance Hat, she was so excited. She thought, this is something she really wanted, so she knew her dad would love it too.





Izze being cute again.


I know she's got a booger face, that's what happens when you ride against the wind. I didn't do a thing to this photo, she's just so darn beautiful! :D I can't help but brag!


Showing me the rock she found, she loves painting rocks and giving them as gifts. You can also see her name bracelet I found at the farmer's market. I never thought it a million years I'd find Isadora, and I did... all I had to do was wait until the Ecuadorian family started a booth of these!


Izze told me she wanted to grow out her hair... but we both decided on a whim to get her hair cut, short and choppy.





She loves riding her bike. We ride it almost every night.




and even though this is out of order. We got her dance class pictures back.


I'll update a lot more often, smaller too. Izze dance class is starting up again soon. The classes I teach are up and running. I'm taking a few classes now too. We're always staying busy, so hopefully that means we'll have a lot to post about. :D

Preschool Pictures.

Here are the pictures of Izze's first day of preschool.








She was kind of mad that I picked her up in my dad's car and his carseat instead of her carseat and my car.


This is her school bag she'll use for the rest of the year.


This is her piggy puppet, she made. So cute.

Izze's first haircut!

Jeremy was pretty firm on his opinion of Izze's hair. He didn't want her to have it cut until she was 2. I used to push the issue, but I stopped. Yesterday when we were talking about Izze's 2 year old pictures, he mentioned he'd like to have her hair cut by then (obviously before she's 2). I said, let's do it today! He said OK! OH MY GOSH!!! So we called Cookie Cutters and made an appointment! I'm so pleased with how cute she looks! I was nervous she'd look like she never really had hair to begin with, he hair was getting so long, but she had this Donald Trump, "half hair" going on, so at least I wanted that to be fixed and evened out.

The stylist gave her a cut little bob that flips out. Izze was such a good little client! She just sat very still, watching the other kids in the salon. Izze really wanted to sit in the black helicopter, but was just as happy sitting in the pink car!

Here are a few pictures of the big event!


Just before the haircut in her pink car!


Sitting very still!


Styling! The stylist even blew her hair dry! She sat still for that too!


THE AFTER SHOT!

She's so cute! This morning we just let her hair dry and do it's own thing and it's still just as cute! We don't have a small round brush to style it the way the stylist did, but we're getting one today so we can do Izze's hair just as cute as she did it! We'll definitely be going back to Cookie Cutters to get her hair done again!

:D My little Punk is growing right up! So cute!

You now know just one more thing she gets from me.

Growing up I loved that I got the "tongue biting thing" from my Grandma Hansen and now Izze does it.

I uploaded a lot of pictures from the playground with Parker, Avery, Kyson and Jaiden. I was getting so teary eyed seeing my little girl so big.

I'm lucky aunt, I'm a lucky mama.

That is my flickr account, I upload pictures almost daily. I'm doing a project with Izze where I take a picture of her every day for a year. We started in January... my camera pooped out... so we started again in June.

Isn't she seriously one of the cutest little ladies you've ever seen?

And yes, she really is a candy expert, as of Easter she knows all the best kinds of jelly beans.

I said, what does your shirt say and she said "A... A.... A...." and I said, it says "candy." Which was a big mistake, because she kept asking for candy for the entire night.

This is so cute. (click on the picture to see it bigger) Izze loves to "draw" and "color" last night she was drawing on some paper, lying on her belly. Then Grandpa came and showed her how to draw funny faces. She really loved it. It was adorable.

Of course she's got a piece of purple tulle wrapped around her waist, because she was asking to wear it.

What a fun little lady.

365 (366 actually) days of photos.

Izze day 4

So I decided I'm going to be part of some flickr projects to take a photo every day for the year. I have to be fair, so I'm making sure to take one of myself (self-portraits project) and one of Isadora (project 365 kids) and also one of Jeremy and then of something random. I've done 4 days so far and I'm enjoying it so far. I just wish I had a little nicer of a camera, because it's a challenge getting quality pictures to post in the groups.

This picture is day 4 of Izze when we were waiting to take a bus (which we enjoy doing, don't worry).

You can see the rest of our photos here

It'll be really interesting to see how we change this year and it should be really fun too.

I'll try to post updates as it's going.

:D
