July was busy month...not only is my birthday in July my brothers and sisters is as well...so July makes for a crazy month! I was so excited to share my favorite holiday with my sweet little princess....if you aren't catching on it's 4th of July...something about the smell of fireworks in the air it just gets me....every year we have a get together at my parents house and everyone brings food and drinks and has a great time...this year Isabella and I made a red velvet fruit cake it looked beautiful at home then slid into a gooey mess on the way to the party...hahaha whatev it still tasted fabulous!! Isabella had so many "first 4th" outfits that she had many wardrobe changes...a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do...hahaha So the day before we went out firework shopping and I started to get a little nervous about Isabella liking it as much as me...I was realyy hoping that I didn't end up sitting inside with her and Tank (my 200lb fraidy cat) he's a mess....thankfully this was not the case!! We started the morning off with swimming...Of course Isabella had to rock her patriotic bikini...hahaha I wish I could be a baby then it would be cute to have a pop belly and rolls on my thighs....it's just too stinkin cute!! =) She did great with the fireworks she had fun watching B and me set off smoke bombs and sparklers (I can't get over how big my niece is getting)....she even tried out a sparkler for herself (well kind of)...She has always liked lights so once the night time festivities started she just sat with me in awe of the pretty lights! We had such a good time!!
A couple weeks later we went to Michigan to visit some great friends...Genna was finally coming home from Korea which meant she finally got to meet the princess and could meet her new little guy! Isabella was a rock star traveler....we got stranded on the runway on the way there for 2 hours and she just played and talked to people around us...then slept then entire flight...Everyone kept telling her she was the best baby they have ever met...I'd have to agree but I'm probably a little bias hahaha! We went to the zoo, the play ground, and the botanical gardens it was so nice to see Genna and the boys!!
