Isabella's 1st Birthday

2 Weeks ago our baby girl turned 1. Where did this past year go?

She is growing so much, toddling around and chasing after her brothers. Always wanting to be in the middle of everything. She had a wonderful birthday party with family and friends. She was a true princess. When she was opening her gifts she got so excited whenever she came to a pair of shoes. She also loves all of the baby dolls she received, and her build a bear. When she saw her bear for the first time she started giving it 'loves' it was to cute. When we gave her her birthday cake she didn't know what to do, we are always telling her to take things out of her mouth. I actually had to grab her hand put it in the cake the to her mouth, after that she kind of got the hang of it. We haven't been in for her 1yr check up yet that is not scheduled until December 11Th. She is still a peanut, just growing into 6-9mo clothing. I am interested to see where her weight is at. She had a beautiful birthday and was a true princess.

As for everyone else we are all doing well. Eli was fight a bad cold last week, he wasn't drinking or eating and running a very high fever. He has finally kicked it, but now I have his cold. Eli is talking more and more we are still trying to figure out somethings that he says but it all gets clearer and clearer everyday. AJ has been off all week, he doesn't know what to do with out being at school. Neither does Eli so they have been at each others throats all week. But I love the times it so nice to see them play together. I know AJ is looking forward to going back to school. He enjoys it so much, he loves learning. AJ is reading now. It is unbelievable to see your children excel. He loves math and is always walking around doing addition or subtraction. Aaron and I also celebrated our 6Th year wedding anniversary on the 14Th. We were able to spend some time out without the kids while Rhonda watched them for us. We had no clue what to do with are time. It was nice to just spend sometime with each other.

Our first update.

Well things have been going great!

AJ is doing wonderfully in school, he received an award on Friday for Citizen of the Month. We are so proud of him. They honored all the Citizens of the month at 'Friday Flag'. It was great. He is excelling in his work and loves to go to school. He loves having homework and is upset when there isn't any. He is already counting down the months till his birthday. He absolutely loves math, he is also starting to read. It is truly amazing to watch him learn new things.


Eli is doing well also, we have hit the terrible two stage and he has his moments and tantrums, but they can be few and far between. He is so very love able. He loves to just cuddle with you on the couch. He is also obsessed with 'Kyle' who is Mr. Potato Head, and Mickey Mouse. On a recent trip to Disneyland we picked him up pieces for 'Kyle'. It is so cute to see his imagination at work when he plays with them. Eli is also talking up a storm, we understand most things he says now, which makes it easier. He is getting so big so fast.

Isabella is a princess, and she knows it. She is turning 1 on Friday. Time has just flown by. She started walking a month ago, she is trying very hard to run and keep up with her brothers. She is still just a little peanut. Its so funny to see her walk around when she is just so tiny. Bella is still toothless, she is teething but nothing breaking through the gums yet. I recently found one of my cabbage patch dolls and gave it to her, she has been carrying it around ever since. She looks at it and says 'Baby'. She also says Mama, Dada, AJ, Night Night and sometimes Eli.

I will post more next week hopefully with some pictures of Bella's party!!!

A side note!

I decide to do this thanks to some wonderful ladies that I have known for over 2 years now. We might just have a 'online friendship' but they are wonderful women who are always there.

I try very hard to send e-mails out to update everyone about how our family is doing. I'm hoping this will be an easier way for this to happen. I'm going to try very hard to log on at least once a week and update this with things that are happening in our life. This is for all of our family and friends who we are not fortunate enough to see on a regular basis.
