Isabelle is one year old!

 So Izzy turned one back in April. We opened presents as a family and then she had cake for the first time. She definitely enjoyed her cupcake! But what a mess she made!! Below are more photos of her birthday with just the four of us.

                                                             Opening her presents

                                                     Big sister was a great helper

                                                                  Look at that!

                            She got a Tractor with a farmer and cow and pig from Mckayla

                                        She got a princess chair from Mommy and Daddy!

                                                                and an activity cube

 

                                                                         "Yay!!"

                                                Time for her first bite of cake! "Yummy!"

                                                       Mckayla enjoyed the cake too!

                                                                      What a mess!!!

Backyard campout

So  a couple months ago Mckayla saw a show where a child had a camp put in their backyard. So Mckayla decided she and James needed to have one too. So James bought a tent, a fire pit and a few other things and they had a campout in the backyard. Izzy and I were not up for sleeping outside as we did not think it would work out with Izzy so we just spent the evening with them having dinner outside and roasting marshmallows. Then we went inside and let James and Layla sleep in the tent. Mckayla loved it!! Here are some photos from the campout!

                                                            Starting to set the tent up

                                                                      All set up

 Mckayla watching James getting things all set up- "This is going to be fun Daddy!"

                                                              Just sitting by the tent

                                                          Mommy pushing Izzy in the swing

                                                            Getting the fire going

                                                              Looking great!

                                                                  "What Momma?"

                                                     Mommy and her "Big girl"

                       The Playhouse- James, his dad and brother made it for Mckayla Christmas 2011. Slowly more and more things hve been added or done to it.

                                                               More sandbox fun!

 Even before Izzy was walking well she liked pushing Mckayla around on the Pooh Bear Car and Mckayla loved it too!
