Trip to KSU!!

So my sister and I thought it would be great to take our girls to a KSU game!  It sounded genius getting to spend the whole day with them...teaching them to get ready to yell when the announcer says "that's good for a wildcat....FIRST DOWN", the Wabash, and of course my favorite park KKKKKK SSSSSSS UUUUUUU wildcats!!  We however did not think through the logistics of the whole thing but whatev it was an experience....The girls slept most of the way to the game....even though we got lost and it ended up taking us 3 hours instead of 1.5 and yes I said lost I know it's a straight shot but it's to difficult to explain!  Then once we finally arrived it rained through out the majority of the game, however the girls still loved it!  Thankfully we had a little break with Tyler at his family's tailgate....the girls got to eat and play a little so that was helpful!  We even ran into Willie when we got there....it didn't work out as magical in person as it did in my head...I had imagined Willie holding both the girls with them smiling and us getting a great picture....what really happened was Isabella clinging to me and B screaming "NNNOOOOO I WANT TO GO HOME" I guess I didn't realize he might be a little scary...ooppps...we still have a pic hopefully we will get a better one later!  Then on the way home we (by we I mean me while driving my sisters car) backed into a car....all is well though we survived and the girls have officially been to a game....it may be their last for a while but I'm so glad we did it!!!

PUMPKIN PATCH!!!

So this weekend we took the kids to the pumpkin patch!  My mom got these adoooorrraaablllee TuTus for the girls to wear (I hope you could hear the sarcasm)....when we got there the kids were immediately entranced by this little pony...hahaha I think they thought it was a miniature Tank....there was a playground and a corn maze...Boston was cracking me up she just wanted to run...I swear somehow my sister and I have switched children hahahahha Isabella had a good time crawling and walking through the tunnels...she is really loving being able to get down and play instead of being stuck in a stroller or being held...she gets filthy most of the time but hey she is having fun!  We rode a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch and searched for the perfect one...Isabella's technique for the search is to stand by the pumpkin and pound on it....hahaha hilarious she would just go from pumpkin to pumpkin slapping them!  Boston spent her time trying to escape by running as fast and as far as she could hahhahaa, and of course as we are leaving Isabella passes out...she always does...oh to be a baby and just be able to sleep whenever I could!!

Sharing....

I can't get over the fact that Isabella is 10mo old now..,her personality is showing up more and more it makes me a little nervous just because I can see myself (and not only good qualities haha)....she wants to do everything herself, to include going down the stairs(which means falling), taking off her shoes(which means lost shoes), eating by herself(making a giant mess), and taking her bows out (which drives me crazy)...I wouldn't have her any other way though!! We had everyone over for my Dads birthday and Isabella wanted to eat an apple...she doesn't eat an apple like most babies would....she wants to hold it and chew on it (with her 2 whole teeth haha)...it cracks me up...she is willing to share though...this little girl brightens my day!!

Someone remind me of this when she won't share later!! HAHAHA

Teething....UUGGHHH

So I know that I've been lucky having a baby that has a pretty mellow temperament, who knows how someone that came from me has a mellow temperament....but she does...unless she doesn't feel good...her first 2 teeth she got came in relatively easy and didn't faze her to much however these top two are rough...she has been running a fever and not sleeping well and having awful drainage...however just like when I don't feel good a bath can make everything better...so I had to capture these adorable little smiles to remember my sweet little baby is still in there and will return as soon as the teething monster leaves her alone!  HAHA

So I can't believe it but Isabella is walking...she is only 9.5mo old and she took 5 steps yesterday and 6 today!  It just blows me away!  Everytime she takes her sweet little steps I am stunned and then the eyes get blurry...she is getting so big!  I'm really proud of her too...you can really see how happy she is when she gets going...she is struggling with trying to go to fast...cracks me up because I was always in trouble for that when I was little...I rememeber my 4th grade teacher in particular getting onto me about it...haha poor baby hopefully I'm not turning her into a little I must be an overachiever monster like me...hahahaha who knows a little bit of drive never hurt anyone!!  I know I've said this a million times but I really had no idea you could love someone so much...she takes my breath away!  I can't wait to see what she does next....walking today....who knows tomorrow!!!

The things you do for your kids....

So for those of you that don't know I'm terrified of clowns....not just creeped out...terrified...fight or flight kicks in and I normally embarrass myself...but now I have a baby and the circus was in town...Sammie wanted to take Boston and so I decided to brave the circus for Isabella...I was sick to my stomach as we walked up just kept trying to think that my fear is irrational and that I can handle this! HAHA even typing this it sounds ridiculous but I can't help it they scare me!  Anyway...I survived it actually wasn't even that bad...the show was great and Isabella seemed to enjoy it...well except for the nap she took during the show...haha she's still a baby, give her a break!  Thankfully the only clowns we saw were down in the ring and it only made my heart race just a little (I'm growing up so much haha)....Aunt Sammie fed Isabella a snow cone (which she loved) Aunt Sammie is notorious for feeding her things that she probably shouldn't have...but whatev! It was such a good time...

Can't believe she is 9 months old!!

So it kind of blows me away that Isabella is 9 months old...I can't believe it...she amazes everyday!  She is standing all by herself and running not walking but running with her push toys...she is developing such a personality too...she will slam her hand down if she thinks you aren't paying attention to her or give you kisses if you look upset...I can't get over how much she has changed me and how I look at things...any day now she is going to be walking, it's all happened so fast!  She says Mamamamamamamama which melts my heart every time and a few other words too!  It's only been 9 months but I don't remember what I did with myself without her.  I am so happy that she has Boston too, they both light up when they see each other and B is her personal protector and watch out if you mess with "my Iz" as B would say! We have had some rough nights with this new personality too...I think I may have met my match on stubbornness and after a few nights of tears she is going to bed like a champ...I'm not saying it was easy one night even had to take a walk around the block while Genna and Sammie listened to see if she was sleeping yet...Yesterday we went to her 9 month doctors appointment she is doing awesome she is exceeding all of her developmental goals and instead of screaming her little head off when she got her shots...she just gave the nurse a look that said "I don't suggest you do that again" HAHA I have know idea where she got that =)....our latest battle has been about eating....Isabella has decided that she is big enough to feed herself and does not like me feeding her...well the only problem with that is that the whole spoon thing wasn't working out for her...the floor was eating more than she was....so first I tricked her with giving her a spoon to hold herself that worked for a one whole meal...so she loves to play with the packages her food comes in...so I decided to just open it and give it to her and see what happened....so I put the end in her mouth and squeezed it just a bit so she realized she could get the food out herself....and.....VOILA everyone is happy...Isabella is happy because she is doing it herself and Momma is happy because she is actually eating!!!!!  These 9 months have been so much fun I can't wait to see what happens next!!
