Fun, fun, fun

The kids have been having such a FUN time playing with their new toys lately! Here is Isabella playing around with her new kitchen. She likes to open every door on her kitchen set and put things inside. She's so cute to watch because she gets really excited when she discovers something new she can do!

And here's Wilson on his new red tricycle! He is SO excited about this tricycle... and he tells everyone about it! He even got a red Cars helmet to match! He is stylin'. It's so fun to watch him trying to figure out the coordination. He's growing up way too fast!


And here's another boy clowning around on his bike, too!
And here's a few pics of the kiddos just being so darn adorable!


Wilson was so happy to have Memaw here for a long weekend for Isabella's birthday... but he wasn't so happy that she had to go home. Every time we see an airplane he asks if that is the airplane going to Memaw's house!

First Birthday Celebration

I'm a week late in posting these pictures, but we had a great birthday celebration for sweet Isabella's 1st birthday! We were joined by our awesome family (Memaw, Nonna & De-da, the Meguiars, the Vogels, Jenny, and the Chadwells). It was a chilly day outside, so I made a huge pot of "taco soup" and cornbread for us to enjoy. And then it was down to business... CAKE!

And this little girl enjoyed every single bite! She didn't make too big of a mess, since she's become a pro at feeding herself lately. And she didn't want any of the icing to go to waste!



Towards the end, she even mixed in a few goldfish with the cake & icing! Yummy!


Isabella's big present from mommy & daddy was a play kitchen (complete with pots & pans, silverware, food, microwave, etc!) She likes it, but Wilson likes it even more.
We are so proud of our big girl! And can't believe she's growing up so fast! She's definitely figured out how to play favorites to get what she wants. She is a "mommy's girl" for sure... but she's a "daddy's girl" too! She has already learned how to have the best of both worlds! Smart girl!

Happy Birthday, sweet Isabella!

I can hardly believe that my sweet baby girl is celebrating her first birthday today! The past year has flown by! She is absolutely the most precious baby girl ever (of course, not biased at all). Today we are celebrating our sweet "babydoll" by hanging out & having family time together. I love watching how much Wilson & Isabella are able to interact and play together now. Wilson was super-excited this morning when I told him it was Isabella's birthday! He loves his sister and seems so proud of her... quite protective, too! So cute!
Happy 1st Birthday, sweet Isabella! Hugs & kisses!
