On July 3rd our little izzy turned 4!

We had a quietish day at home, and enjoyed celebrating as a family.

A few phone pics and memories from the day...

Loving her new scooter from grandma!



The night before decorations. (Inspired by my mom and all those years I woke up to my own birthday decorations and felt so special and loved.)















Opening gifts and cards from friends and family. Thank you so much to our generous families for making this a special day for iz.

Thank you Iz for bringing sunshine to our lives every single day. Why do the years go so quickly?! I am loving watching you grow up and finding out more about who you are. I feel so overwhelmingly blessed to have you as my little girl and to be able to spend every day with you. I love you so much. Thank you for all my pictures and hugs and smiles. You make me laugh and remind me to relax, enjoy life and have fun. You are such a sweet and determined little one. You have a fire inside you and I hope it never goes out, my little firecracker. Happy birthday!

At 4 years old you love to draw and do art projects. You still sleep with bunbun- your best buddy for all time. You love your new scooter and choose to ride that over your bike-although you can ride a 2 wheeler with no training wheels! Your favorite place to go is the mall, lol. You love to read books at the book store, play in the play area, and eat a giant salt pretzel. You are becoming a fun big sister and will play with bodie more now! You have friends from school that you have so much fun with. You say you miss school alot this summer. You love to swing and can pump super high. You love to help me cook and to make things yourself. Your favorite is peanut butter and jelly with chocolate milk. You love to make lemonade, although you dont drink it, lol. You have particular food choices still. You told me that you like strawberries because they are the color red and you like red, not because you like to eat strawberries. Ha! You crack me up. You like rides and we recently went on the giant slide and carousel together at the county fair. You had your first 2 stitches last week in the top of your finger, after you fell off your chair at dinner (we aren't sure how it happened), but were very brave at the er! You are a strong girl!

I can't wait to see what the next 100 years bring for you baby girl. We love you so very much.

Happy Birthday love!
