5 years I think that should come with a prize!!

Well Iz....we did it...you are five years old.  I say we because there is no way I could have done it with any other person than the incredible little person you are.  I remember this night 5 years ago I was staring at you so unsure...probably the most unsure I've been in my entire life...I hate unsure Iz...it scares me...scares me a lot.  Today though 5 years later I have decided you are the one thing I am so incredibly sure of.  I'm sure you rocked my world....I'm sure the no one can breath life into a room the way you do...I'm sure that you are the most beautiful thing I've ever laid eyes on...I'm sure you are smarter than me...I'm sure that I knew true love in you...I'm sure that you are full of sass (I happen to adore that about you)...I'm sure you have an infectious laugh...I'm sure you are wise beyond your years...I'm sure you are a force to reckoned with...I'm sure that you were what I was made for...I'm sure that you changed me, gave me more purpose...I'm sure that you are going to do incredible things....I'm sure that I won't have to worry about you but you better be sure that I know that tough exterior has a soft heart...I'm sure that you have made me whole and I'm sure that you will blow me away even more next year!  Thank you sweet baby for being my greatest accomplishment just by being you!  I love you to the moon (around it) and back!
Love Always
Your Mommy

Lets Go Royals

One of my favorite things about this past summer was watching Isabella fall in love with baseball...even though T-Ball is currently not her favorite sport (mommy can keep hoping) she loves her Boys in Blue...Omar Infante is her favorite player...which its very difficult to explain to a very adorable 4 year old why he isn't playing....At one of the games we went to this summer he came over and signed her hat!  He was super sweet to her when other players were pretending (I let them know they were pretending) they couldn't here us...so Infante it is!  Well I never though this would happen but the Royals made it to the Worlds Series this year (two years in a row I might add) and Iz wanted to go...so after searching for tickets and even emailing a video of her crying that she couldn't go...tickets were found....I wish I would've captured the look on her face when I told her Mac found tickets for her...I mean I thought she was going to come out of her skin...so we were going...I wasn't really sure if Isabella would be as into it with as busy as the game was going to be...but she loved it....she screamed for every player and didn't even let a little rain bother her!  Even after we had a little spill on the playground (rain and slides don't mix well) we got a souvenir ice pack and kept on cheering on the boys and blue.  The best part is they gave her a win...so at 4 Iz can say that she's been to a winning Worlds Series game!  It really has been incredible enjoying this ride with her...It is interesting that she knows most of the players numbers and what position they play...I didn't think watching baseball would be her thing but for this year it was....maybe she caught the blue bug like everyone else in KC did but I hope that I can look forward to baseball summers with my girl....if not there is no way I could forget the look on her face this year! 



The Parade...WE WON THE SHIP so we get a parade...well we went to a game we had to go to the parade right....right....holy smokes....first off I need to send out a serious thank you to Seanie and Lisa for braving the crazy with us..never would we have survived or would Isabella be able to see anything if she wasn't sitting on his shoulders...LOL so That blue bug I spoke of....they are estimating that there were 800,000 people at this parade and rally outside of union station.  Isabella was incredible, we didn't eat anything from 10am until 7pm...minimal complaints....we were crammed in with all the other crazies....minimal complaints....I think my favorite memory from the day is me trying to find a place to park (people got out of their cars and parked on I-35) I kept asking "do you think I can just drive up there" Lisa and Sean weren't sure....so they next place I asked "can I pull in there"....this happened a couple times and I kept being shut down....from the back seat I hear Iz say..."But Seanie we have to pull in somewhere"....my mini me had my back!  =) I'm thankful that we went...Iz saw a couple players (they are much harder to recognize out of uniform) and we made memories...if they win again I think we will just watch on TV hahahaha

Tball

So we started something fun this summer that one part of me couldn't wait for while the other wishes we could've skipped straight to fastpitch...Tball was well...interesting....it was a little bit like watching the most adorable train wreck you have ever seen...I might understand now why my Dad would take his hat off and stomp on it....how hard is step and throw....obviously it's a little more complex than I realized...it was incredible to watch Iz figure it out...and the first time that she "struck out" and she cried my heart broke...I hope that this is the first of many summers sitting at the ball park!  I wonder how long she will yell "Hi Mom" from the field...I'm going to live it up while I can!!

I'm glad my Dad is still coaching...he has a ton more patience than I do...probably why he was such a good coach when I was a kid...Iz liked playing the pitcher or first base...that seems to be where the action is in Tball...even though the entire field runs where ever the ball is....hysterical....Her favorite part of the games was going to Dairy Queen after!!!!

Thank you!

Isabella~~
I just wanted to write you a little letter today just to say thank you...we are having a beautiful day in January and I just wanted to take a minute to make sure I tell you how fabulous you are....you have a personality bigger than your little self....I can't even put into words how much fun you are....today we were on our way hone and came up to a stop light...I was slowing down and from the back seat I hear "why are we slowing down folks"....I had tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard....then you don't understand why I'm laughing...you said "why are you laughing that's what my Toshy says"...You make me skip through Target and sing songs about squares and make me look for rectangles throughout the store...I'm sure people thought we were crazy...but I don't care....I'll never forget it (and wonder if you will remember). We've spent most of the afternoon playing outside....I love watching you dig in the dirt with your pink painted nails....I just hope if I can teach you one thing it's to try and see yourself like I see you.  You are beautiful and terrifyingly smart...you have no fear but a humongous heart...you are just incredible and I wanted to write you a little thank you for making Mommy smile so big today!
All my Love
Mommy
