Izzy Bug

Saturday we celebrated our little Izzy's Birthday with Family. It was a fun day but boy was it hot. We had the party at Mama and Tata's house and it is at lease 15 degrees hotter there than here at home not to mention Saturday was a scorcher no matter where you were.It was a ladybug themed party. We call Izzy our little love bug so it was only appropriate.
The girls loved playing in the bounce house but it was way too hot for them to stay in there very long.

Cherish came out looking for a Popsicle. I think she ate at least 6 that day.
Izzy enjoyed having both of her grandmas there to take care of and spoil her.
We tried to get her to take a nap before the party started but we were not successful. so we finally got her to sleep in the middle of the party in an hammock. We let me sleep for about an hour but then we woke her because we had to get things moving. One word of advice...Never wake a sleeping baby. I know we have all heard it before, but really NEVER wake a sleeping baby.

If you do be prepared for what follows.

I don't know if she just didn't like our singing or what but she was not impressed.
Once we gave her a cupcake she was happy again.
Yum-Yum
I love her cheesy smile.
I had to include this picture of her pirate face. She makes me laugh.

Once it got dark and cooled off the girls made their way to the bounce house and jumped and jumped. Cherish was doing some pretty good flips.

Family Game Night

The other night we played one of our common games of Trouble. Who can forget the Pop-O-Matic Bubble? It brings back some great memories.
It has become one of Cherish's favorites to play.
Izzy Loves to play too but she largely just puts her pieces on her fingers and tries to steal everyone Else's pieces. Yes it disrupts the game and makes it hard to play but it only adds to the fun.
She also takes her turn with the bubble. She loves to help us roll.
Check it out mom. Look what I can do!!
Nothing beats a good game of trouble with those you love.

I can't believe my little girl just turned 2!! Time really does fly by. We greeted Izzy with balloons and singing Happy Birthday when we got her out of bed. She wasn't too sure what she thought about it at first.
She quickly warmed up to the idea.

We made her Eggos complete with whipped cream bananas raspberries and candles. When we finished singing she asked us to sing again and again. She loved blowing out the candles.

Cherish taught her to lick off the candles. After breakfast the girls took a bath and had some fun times.


We went outside and took a couple of pictures. She is such a happy little girl.
What a smile!!
She let go of the balloon and waved bye bye until she could no longer see it.

We had a little melt down. I think she had had enough.
She has the sweetest little face.
Jose came home early and we spent the afternoon and evening at Disneyland. We went on the carousel many times. The Birthday girl just didn't want to get off.
Evan came along with us.
We had a good time on the Ferris wheel
Izzy really liked it in the beginning...
After a couple of minutes she wasn't so convinced. She kept snuggling into Daddy.
SURF'S UP!!!
Izzy tuckered out by about 5:30 and took a long nap. She didn't wake up until about 7:00. All in all it was a great day and a late day. We stayed for the fireworks and still went on Pirates of the Caribbean afterwards.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR LITTLE IZZY!!
