It finally happened...

Isabelle is out of 2T clothes! I was wondering when it would happen, I mean she is almost four now. In some cases she jumped right to a 4T, except for shorts and skirts of course. Tiny little waist. Her feet grew too! Who knew the small things would make me SO happy.

So funny!

As I began to make dinner the other night Isabelle began to sing the Subway jingle. Of course our little parrot joined in. I had to grab the camera. The picture is kind of fuzzy because the auto focus on my camera broke. Getting a new one this weekend

My little girl isn't so little!

I knew I had sent in the check and the registration, but it wasn't final until I got the call. Isabelle is officially enrolled in preschool for next year. She is so excited. Every time we drive by on the way to Grammy's house she sees it and points it out. Sadly I am already thinking about kindergarten; not that I want her to grow up any quicker than she already is, but with all the budget cuts, it is going to be hard to find a kindergarten that offers the kind of education she needs.
None of my babies are babies anymore...so sad!

Giggles are the best medicine!

Madee's laughs are SO infectious! Her is a video with Madee and Jarett while he is getting her to giggle away. How can you not smile???

Thank goodness we didn't die!

Awkward title? Maybe, but I can't tell you how many people were so worried that we were actually going to Rocky Point for Spring Break. What if we died was the most popular question I got anytime I told anyone our plans. As you can see, we are back and had a FANTASTIC time. Thanks Justin and Liz for making it possible.

Madee's party

We had a great time for all who could make it to Madee's party. It was an Elmo bubble party and Madee couldn't have been happier. We were at Kell park next to the library in Buckeye. There were about 15 of Madee's friends who dined on hot dogs and loved the Elmo cake. The weather was a little windy but not too bad nearing 70 degrees. Thanks to everyone who joined us!

Just another reminder

Yesterday the fmaily took a hard hit. Brian, my aunt Kimberly's husband died quickly and suddenly of a heart attack. The family is in shock and so many are unsure how to respond. So many people were at the house yesterday just "there" for Kimberly. Our family is pretty dysfunctional, but in times of need, we are there. That is what matters most. He was only 48 and had so much more life to live. We understand that he accepted his calling and is now with God, but it is still so difficult.
Brian worked in the voice over and radio business and had acquired many friends along the way. We were reading the many messages left on his Facebook and were comforted and amazed at just how many lives he touched. He was such an amazing and great person. He always welcomed everyone into the family with loving arms. He was one of the first to make Jarett feel welcome in my CRAZY family. He made us laugh and smile just by being in the room.
He will be GREATLY missed! It is just another reminder of how special life really is.
