At the beach

We spent the day at Pacifica on Saturday because some good friends of ours were renewing their vows. This was also Izzy first trip to the beach! We had a blast and I enjoyed watching Izzy run all over the beach and play in the water with Daddy.

This is an attempt at a family photo, but obviously it's not the best. Oh well.

Bud and I are SO over due on some pictures together. I need to work on that a little more.

She enjoyed playing in the sand...and eating it.

She's so cute. Come on, just admit it. She's the cutest.

So cliche, right? Gotta do it!

fun with daddy











overlooking the beautiful view!

Beautiful sunset

It's blurry, but I think it looks kinda cool. This was on a patio of a haunted resturant we ate at. We watched the sun go down and then sat around the bon fire and enjoyed our evening!

Apparently Izzy's diaper shifted somehow and she peed on daddy. HAHA! It was great!

I love him!

Izabella Grace turns 1!

Here are some of the pictures from her party. I've had most of them uploaded for a while now and I have just been totally lacking the energy to blog lately. But I had to finish this before the whole month of September goes by me and I didn't even post one post! So here it is!
Here is the princess herself!


This one is just awesome! The afro, the half opened eyes and of course the gapped teeth! This one we will be for sure keeping around when she's older! I'm thinking to bring out on her 18th birthday!

She loves her new princess camping chair!

She wants to be a big kid so bad!

Black and whites are the best!

Random pictures!

Our little family went on a bike ride and stopped at the pond to feed the ducks and the geese. Izzy loved it!





Every time we go out into the garage and Izzy comes with us, she B-lines it straight to the drums. She loves the fact that it's OK to beat the heck out of these things and she won't get in trouble for it!




Daddy could NOT wait any longer to put on her ridin' jersey. Size 3T.


And finally, Izzy knows where the snack cabinet is as well as the sandwich baggie cabinet. She opens both many times a day and gets into everything. If I don't catch her fast enough, we end up with sandwich baggies EVERYWHERE and a lot of the time all the snack boxes are out. This, however was the first time she got into one of the snack boxes. Apparently she was hungry. I think more made it onto the floor then in her mouth, but, whatever, they're just Cheerios and she was having a good time!
Oh and excuse the kitchen mess, we're getting ready for a brand new kitchen!!! She'll be all confused when her cabinets are gone!
