The FLU has struck!!!

Jason has the flu, we went to the new McLeod Urgent Care place on Palmetto this afternoon, when his temperature reached 103.8!!! They did a nose swab, and quickly told us that he has the flu!! Please, please pray for him to feel better soon, and that Isabella and I would not catch it from him!! We have shipped her off to my Mom's for the night! Please, please pray for all of us!! Thank you!!

We're in!!!

Just a quick post to let you all know that we are in our new home!!! It has been an absolutely CRAZY BUSY week, but we spent the night in our new house last night for the 1st time!! I will post some pictures of the last week soon!! Please come by and see us, we would love to see you!!

Isabella's 1st Pigtails!!!

Okay, don't pass out--2 posts in one day!! Can you believe it?!?
For the Super Bowl with Jason's Youth Group tonight I decided to try to put pigtails in Isabella's hair. I think that it turned out pretty well, you might be able to see from the pictures that actually there were 3 pigtails!! Hopefully with some practice I will get better at fixing her hair!! She is thinking--"Mommy, what have you done with my hair?"
It is so much fun to have such a girlie girl!!

These are a few of my favorite things. . .

Since I am really trying to do better with blogging about our life I thought that I would make a post about some of Isabella's favorite things!!!
She is ALL girl!! For months now everything that can be is a bracelet, purse or baby! She has even started trying to feed and give her baby "juice."
Dr Farrell said that her vocabulary would really take off after her tubes were placed and her tongue was clipped and it really has! She can say Mama, Daddy, Papa (Jason's Dad, but seems to only say it when he can't hear her), juice, baby, duck, turtle, hi, hello, bye, this, cheese, shoes, and my favorite she tries to say thank you! It sounds like more like "ank ou," but I will take it!! I am sure that there are more words that she can say but that is all that is coming to mind at the moment.
I am sure that all parents feel this way, but I can't even comprehend how much and deeply that I love her! She is just the sweetest thing ever, she gives "loves" anytime she is asked to--"loves" at our house are hugs and kisses!!
Here some pictures of some of her favorite things!!
Two of her favorite things--books and playing in her Mommy's laundry basket--she climbs in and out and in and out....
She loves to look at books, always right side up and from front to back!!
Okay, so she is not smiling in this picture but she really does love this toy from her Great-Grandparents!

Leave it to Grand (my Mom) to introduce her to cheese balls, she loves them and loves carrying around the container too!!
I just love this picture from Christmas!! Unfortunately it does not really get cold enough here often enough for her to wear hat and scarf!!
Her car at Papa's house--okay so it really used to be her cousin Mackenzie's but I think that she has claimed it for her own!!
A picture of "juice" and "baby," it doesn't get any better than that!!
She loves getting into my rubbermaid cabinet and throwing all of it onto the floor!!
Caught in the act!!!
Playing with Keri!! Nick and Keri were here for the weekend again--always great to spend time with the Snyders!! And I finally remembered to take a pic of Keri and Isabella! I just noticed that she is holding her socks--another fav--she loves to take off her socks and shoes!
Playing in boxes--and boy we have a lot of them around here lately with the impending move!! Grand got a care seat for her car and gave the box to us, now it is a "house" for Isabella!!
Her very favorite thing--spending time with her Papa!!
Being dressed up like the princess that she is for her friend Carlisle's birthday party!
No one could have ever told us that being a parent could be the absolute best and hardest job ever!! She is just the best thing ever!!
