Build a Bear

We decided to do something different this year and have a Build-A-Bear birthday party for Isabelle's 4th birthday. It was the best kids party I have ever been to and would recommend it for anyone with a child at least 3. We had some two year olds and they did okay, but the older kids enjoyed it so much more!

Isabelle holding everyone's bears, pre-stuffed, she had such a good time.

Birthday girl goes first. She acted like she was a pro!

Here are all the party goers at the end with their take home goodies!

Happy Birthday Baby!

Jasmine birthday present

Lately Isabelle has been more than obsessed with Jasmine from Aladdin. Seeing as the movie is not out right now and she is not a "popular" princess, finding something that is only Jasmine has proven to be next to impossible. Thankfully my sister felt the same about Jasmine as Isabelle does. My mom found my sister's old Jasmine music figurine and gave to to Isabelle for her birthday. She was excited

The girls love their kitty

I have always wanted to know what Isabelle's hair looked like straight. SO....I got out my straightener, set it on the lowest setting, and went to work. She looks so different!

Summer fun

Both girls "posing" for their picture to be taken. Yes, Madee actually posed this way!

Madee enjoying some ice after we all finished our drinks. She had her hands in everyone's cup.

Isabelle with her autographed picture of Baxter, who she calls, "Bastar" I know it sounds bad, but it really sounds so cute.

Isabelle taking her picture with Baxter after the autograph. Madee was actually afraid to get her picture taken with him and Belle wasn't.

We went to the D-backs game on Wednesday with Grammy and Grampy and had a great time. Unfortunately they lost, but we still had quite a bit of fun.

Yep...she's mine

On Saturday, the funniest thing happened that just made me giggle a bit on how much our kids pick up from the small things we do. The girls and I were with my mom and going to Walmart. As we turned into the parking lot, Madee yelled, "Is that Taco Bell?" It was and we told her that. She then proceeded with, "I LOOOOVE Taco Bell!"
Definitely my child!
