Daddy's business trip

Daddy had a training in Prescott last weekend and because he already had a hotel room to himself, he invited us along with him. It was a great drive up as Isabelle saw the trees and proclaimed, "we are in the woods now!" Before we checked into the hotel room, we toured Whiskey Row and ate lunch at "The Palace." There were a few western movies filmed there and many famous visitors. Afterwards we stumbled upon a Corvette show! All the pretty cars, "room room," Madee told us.

When we got to our hotel room we realized we had a two room suite. Isabelle could watch her cartoons while sleeping in her own inflatable Princess sleeping bag while we were in the other room. The weather was great and we were sad to leave.

The picture was in the hotel restaurant the girls ate at while Daddy was in his training class before we left.

The Phone Call

Isabelle has been talking about calling her cousin Audrey, who recently moved to Washington, for about a week straight now. Earlier this week she left a message for Audrey on the "talking voice" at her new house far away! Today we actually were able to have them both talk to each other. After throwing a fit because Daddy wasn't getting off the phone quick enough with Uncle Justin, they hardly said a word to each other. It was like she was talking to someone she hardly knew. Funny thing was after she got off the phone, she had the biggest smile and boasted that she got to talk to "Auudreey." Silly how kids work, but she was happy so that makes me happy!

So sad

We have all been battling the sickness that has plaqued the valley. The changing weather has caused allergies to hit a high right now. Poor Isabelle got it hard; allergies and the sickness. This morning she came home from spending the night with Auntie Barbara saying that her stomach hurt, which it has been for a couple of days. All of a sudden...it happened. She had a little accident on the floor. Throwing up milk has to be the worst smell. Then it happened again, and then later again. It is one of the worst sites to see your little one so sick with nothing you can do. Thankfully after a 3 hour nap and a little bit of pizza, she seems to be feeling better. Let's hope we stay with the good streak!

Isabelle started gymnastics

So today was a monumental day for me, okay maybe Isabelle too. We signed her up for gymnastics classes through the Buckeye Rec. Center. They bring in an instructor from a local gym which made me feel a little more at ease.

The first great thing happened as she was getting out of the car. I asked her is she wanted help out to which she responded, "No mommy, gymnastics girls don't need help out of cars!" As she stepped out of the car, a jet flew overhead. At this time she simply said, "There is my uncle!" I asked her what she meant. "My Uncle Rich, mommy, DUH! He just came from Korea to say hi for when I go to gymnastics." Of course, what was I thinking.

As all the kids and parents were in the room waiting, the instructor turned with a smile and told us parents that the room was too small and all the parents would need to leave and wait outside. The moment I have been waiting for since I knew I was having a girl and now I can't watch. At the end of a very long 45 minutes, she came out with a smile.

I guess I will let her go back next week!
