Birthday at the Big House

So, we decided to have a mini-party at The Big House for Izzy since some could not make it to her party.  We got a Princess cake from Costco (yum-o) and took it to open house to celebrate.  After a 4 year old melt down (that is what I call it), we told her Ryan Mac was eating her cake and she better get out there to stop him...then she marched out there and all was good.  She got a new pez dispenser and bubble gun from Honey, Buddy and Todd....so you can guess what happened after that!!

First trip to the Dentist

Ms. Izzy had her first trip to the dentist.  She did great!  I have to say though that the office we went too really caters to kids.  They had names for all the tools, played Nemo on the tv (great distraction), and had a bucket of toys for you to choose one on your way out.  She did have one cavity that she had to go back for a different visit to get filled, which wasn't so bad since they didn't have to give her any shots, etc.   Oh ya, she got to wear some cool purple glasses in case the light was too bright.  How come they don't offer those to adults?  Good job Iz.

Happy 4th Birthday Isabella!!

Can not believe 4 years ago we started this journey, a new stage of our lives!  It has been a great 4 year years and look forward to what many more years have in store.  She is older for sure and doing things "on my own."  She has started reading....what fun it is to see and hear her figure words out.  She is so tall.  Everyone think she is more like 5 years old.  She loves playing outside and is interested in all sports.  Most of all, she is healthy and growing girl and for that alone, I am so grateful.  We are blessed to have her as our daughter.

The day started early...6 am.  We heard noise from her room.  She is not suppose to wake up until 6:45...this time she was sitting in the middle of her bed singing, "Kids in Motion...."  This is the place we are having her party next week.  I guess she was excited about it.  When I saw her, she said, "Mommy, is today June 8?"  I said yes.  "Okay, good, today is my birthday!!!"  So fun.

The night before we made funfetti cupcakes wit pink frosting and sprinkles!  She took those to school for the kids in her class.  Then we also made a pink (strawberry) cake with pink frosting and sprinkles for after dinner when we open gifts.  Here are some highlights.

Preschool Summer Program

She did it....another year at TTP!  She has gotten so big and grew a lot this year.  She is still the tallest kid in her class.  I am so glad she has been at this school.  The lessons and material taught/learned has been priceless.  For teh program, they sang Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child,  This Little Light of Mine, and Are You Ready For the Rapture?  Love it.  Lots of hand motions and somewhat yelling rather than singing.  I will add the video later.  Here are a few pictures from the evening.
