Izzy is 3!

Iz and I had our own birthday celebration the day of her birthday (and the day after her party). Bodes was sleeping, and g was gone working...it was a special time to have with just me and her... and cake of course!:)





Iz picked out her cake this year- Strawberry ice cream/chocolate cake , the heart cake I cut out of her leftover party cake, sorry no home made cake this year iz, but it probably tasted better! :)





3 years!!





And back to the party day... We did presents first thing of course,





Bodes interested in the presents!

We had a great party day with our friends, so thankful they could help us celebrate!

On Iz's real bday g was working so I had the kids and we had such a fun morning at the park. It was hot, but we were early so not too bad. Loved getting a few outdoor pics while we were the only ones at the park so I didn't have to feel embarrassed whipping out my phone to snap pics and encourage them to smile :)

Bodes, awesome at smiling on cue :)





Love to swing!

Then to play with the new kitchen, strawberry milkshakes on the menu!





And some art... Another favorite











Iz, at 3 you are fun, spirited, adorable. You are smart, funny, give great hugs and kisses (when I beg :)) your laugh is the best. You love to color, dance, play outside. You are creative, you love your stuffed animal toys and Froggy books. You have favorite tv shows , Max and ruby, Dora, Angelina ballerina, u can work my iPhone too well :). You are the pickiest eater! You love to jump, ride ur bike, play in sand, swing, and b naked :) you make us laugh.

For all the times I'm not as patient as I should be, I'm sorry. I've seen you grow this year in many ways. You have matured. You listen. You walk by the stroller instead of running away, :) you can play alone at times for hours, sit and do art quietly, and of course as dad would say , you dominate the park! Oh biz, I love u. These days I want to remember forever( well the good ones :)). I'm still learning this whole parenting thing- a wild ride.
I'm so glad you are mine!!!






Thank you to all our friends and family for the generous gifts and time you spent for iz, we appreciated it all!
