Day of Birthday - 11/12/07

1st Birthday Princess Shirt.















Her first ice cream cake.















Aunt Amy had just gotten in from the airport and was able to celebrate part of her actual birthday with us.





























Eating her first ice cream cake. We decided not to let her dig into this one.















Our small group from church were able to celebrate with us as well. Here are the little ones playing after dinner and ice cream cake.

Some fun videos....

Here a few videos we recently took. The first one is a little dark but hopefully you can make out her standing up. She loves doing this over and over. The second video is of her playing with her first birthday present from her Auntie Adella. The other two are of bath time. She really enjoys her bath time. :-)

Just some pics....

Here are few pics taken over the last week. Enjoy!!




















Having a snack before church...















My first birthday present a little earlier. Can't believe she will be a year on Wednesday. This is from her Auntie Adella. She said it was okay to go ahead and put it together. :-)















Helping mommy....















Yeah, what fun....




















Taken this morning. Just love that hair!!! :-)

Halloween pics

Look at me! I'm a monster from the deep checking out the pumpkin patch.














Baby octopus in the hay maze. This cool costume was a fun gift from cousins Jeremiah and Genetta.



































































Check out my cool Halloween slippers! Thanks Aunt Ruth!















And finally, a happy family photo in the airport coffee shop.

Pics from Florida....

Well, I think we are finally starting to recuperate from our trip to Florida. We were there from 10/5 until 10/18. We had a great time visiting friends in Orlando the first week and really enjoyed spending time with family the second week. Isabella was such a trooper and adjusted so well. Here are few pics from our trip.

In Orlando:















With her new friend Ansley Barnes















Good friends, Mandy, Meigan & Diego Rivera. We were at Outback celebrating Meigan's birthday!















Here we are with the Barnes & Rivera's at Outback















With our good friends Dan & Carol Warner















Isabella even met a new friend at the hotel during our week in Orlando. This is Giovanna. She is 10 days older than Isabella. We had breakfast with her and her mom several days at the hotel.















Bath time with some new pals. These belong to my friend Seliena. She was my old boss when we used to work together. :-)















Here is Isabella with Seliena's youngest, Colby. He is 6 months old.















Here we are with my good friends Seliena and Lisa, former co-workers. We all had lunch together on Friday the 10th before heading to Pensacola for a week.

In Pensacola:















Having lunch with Cousins Jonathan & Alexis and Granddaddy Reeves and Cathy.















Giving Gigi big smiles!















Loving on Gigi!















Giving Mimi sweet hugs as well!















With Aunt Ruth and Cousin Lindsay




















Swinging with Cousin Alexis















In Daddy's old rocking chair with Cousin Lindsay















"He's down"! Having a little fun with Cousin Jonathan.















Just hanging with the cousins. :-) Isabella really enjoyed being with Jonathan and Lindsay for a week. They seemed to enjoy playing with her as well.















With Aunt Carol and Cousins, Gideon, Noah, Jonathan and Lindsay















Isabella's first time at the beach. She was really fascinated with the sand. I couldn't get her to look up at me when I was taking her picture.

First Tooth...

Well, Isabella's first tooth has finally decided to make an appearance. It has been trying to poke it's little white head up for about a month now. Hope you enjoy the pics that she so graciously let me take of her little mouth. :-)











































You can't see her tooth in these last 2 pics but she was giving me such a great smile, I just had to add them.





























Just wanted to let you all know it may be a couple of weeks until the next post. We will be heading to Florida on Sunday for two weeks. Ben has to go to Orlando for work and Isabella and I are going to join him. We will be staying with him in Orlando for the first week and showing off Isabella to all our old friends there. The second week, Isabella and I will be in Pensacola spending time with Ben's family. We are really looking forward to going to Florida and seeing friends and family. We will have tons of pictures to post when we get back.
