Girls Day

Yesterday Isabella and I spent the day having a girls day...I love just hanging out with her...it seems like every five minutes she is doing something new.  We went and got pedicures or as Isabella would say "toes" and she was so good she sat on my lap put her adorable little toes in the water and talked to everyone in the salon.  Her favorite trick was to tell everyone what color the water, the water was rotating through different colors and she was getting most of them right (SO SMART) I can't help but swell with pride when people Gasp and ask how old she is...ONLY 18 months hahaah I'm such a bragger but I can't help it maybe it's a Mom thing...I mean she does sometimes know her colors (her default is always purple) but for some reason yesterday she was spot on hahahha silly girl!  She picked out neon pink polish for both of us (not my fav but how could I refuse that sweet baby face)...after our pedi we walked over to get some ice cream....as we were eating our ice cream she asked to go swimming so we headed out for that...its such a fun age right now...I can't wait to see what's next!!!

Out of the mouths of babes....

Tonight we had a great time we went to visit the Goldens...Isabella just adores them (well I think she thinks Mike is scary but he's like 6 feet taller than her hahaha) Mema and LiLi (Emma and Olivia) are so sweet to her and Jenny is the big sister I never had...it's always a good time and it's nice to know that Isabella has another home away from home with them...enough about that before I blubber all over the keyboard...anyway so at dinner tonight Isabella dropped something off her plate and Jenny said "uh oh DANG it" (I repeat she said dang it) and then Isabella looked up in her sweet little voice and repeated her....to bad her form of dang it sounded a lot like damn it (yep blog world I just cussed haha) and of course we can't help but laugh so of course she does it again..."oh damn it oh damn it" We were all literally laughing so hard we were crying...it's exactly what I needed a good laugh...someone remind me of this when I'm furious that she said "damn it" inopportune time....=)  so after dinner while Emma and I went over an awesome cupcake recipe we are going to master Isabella went to play with her LiLi (pronounced lee lee) they were playing with her karaoke machine...we were summoned into the room because we just had to see how cute she was according to Olivia....Isabella is hilarious she was just singing and dancing (too bad we couldn't understand a word haha)  we had a great time!! The pics are a little blurry but still super cute....

 

I've always hoped that those girls both know that I am always here for them and I can already tell they will be the same for my sweet little princess...I'm glad that when Mom isn't cool enough to talk to anymore I'm confident that these girls will lead her in the right direction!!!

Blurry but it's the moment that counts!!!

Sticker Fun

Boston came over to play with Isabella this evening...when my Mom got here to pick her up she brought both of the girls sticker books...she got Isabella princess stickers and Boston Dora....I am not a Dora fan (that is an understatement)...much to my dismay the girls switched
=(....we ended up with the Dora stickers....anyway so Isabella likes to put stickers on people...so she walks over and in her adorable little voice says "Mommy cheek" so she put one on me...and then another and then another...hahaha pretty soon I was covered in Dora (I just threw up a little)....so here I am covered in Dora at least I know Isabella had fun....it was not fun however when she tried to rip my face off with them (she hasn't quite mastered finesse) thankfully there is no more Dora on my face though hahahha crazy baby!!

Real Princess

Isabella is all about her own little opinion now...tonight her opinion is that a real princess wears a Tutu to bed....hahahhaha it's hysterical...we putting on PJs and she went into her closet and pulled out the purple Tutu then she proceeded to dance down the hallway wearing her Tutu then when I tried to convince her to take it off and put some real PJs on she told me "No Momma....Pwetty"....I mean how can you argue with this....

Primping the Princess

So I am prepared to catch some grief for this but whatev she is my baby I can curl her hair if I want to...hahaha anyway so Isabella and I were getting ready for Baby Michael's Bday party and Isabella had this one adorable little curl on the back of her head (which makes me excited that she may have gotten my curls) and I thought how cute it would be if the back of her head had little curls on it (instead of just one) so I got out the smallest curling iron I had and curled her hair...she thought it was hilarious sitting in Mommy's sink while I curled her hair...she looked super cute!  I should enjoy her letting me fix her hair because I'm sure that won't always be the case hahahahaha

SESAME STREET LIVE

I did not realize how much fun it was going to be to watch Isabella at Sesame Street live....She was amazed...to watch her sweet little face light up was a memory I don't think I will ever forget...Before the show we had a little run in with the Crazy (and yes that capital letter is on purpose) people from the Westboro Baptist Church...I hope by the time Isabella can read this they either don't exist or they have figured out how to stop them...Anyhoo we got to go backstage and meet Elmo and Ernie (this was a big deal considering Mammie feels the same way about costumes that I feel about clowns haha) When we walked into the room Isabella gasped and said ELMO...she was allllllll about it until I went to sit her on Elmo's lap and she attached herself to me...so I sat on his lap with her...She gave him a high five and then gave him a kiss...she was bubbling over with excitement....Boston took a picture with them but felt the same way her Mommy did about the costumes hahaha....when the show was starting Isabella stood up on my lap and danced and pointed for the duration of the show....at intermission she lifted her sweet hands and said "what happened"....I haven't laughed like that in a while....Boston decided that we needed cotton candy (only the blue kind would do) so her and I ran down the hall to get it...when I say ran I mean ran hahaha B and I know how to get things done so we don't miss the show!  We all had such a great time!  I can't wait to take them again!!!

Trip to Powell Gardens

My Mom wanted to take the girls to Powell Gardens this weekend...we had such a great time!  Isabella was pumped to be outside...I soon realized she would not be riding in the stroller...when we saw the first flower bed she stretched out her little arms and yelled.....MOMMA FLOWERS.....you can't help but smile 

I have an outside girl...I think she asked me a bagillion times "what's that" and got excited every time saw something "Purpa" (purple for those of you who aren't fluent in Isabella)...She practically ran the entire two mile arboretum...we were taking so many pictures that at one point Iz went and stook by some pretty rocks put her arm out tilted her head to the side and smiled....hahahhaah you think I take to many pictures?  Probably but I'm not going to stop so why dwell on it....=)  Her smile is contagious....

Besides enjoying the garden it was so nice to see how loved this sweet baby is...her and Boston are both surrounded by people or absolutely adore them!  You can't ask for anything more...I always talk about how thankful I am that the girls have each other but I don't think I say enough how thankful I am that they have my parents...sometimes Grandma is the only one that can fix it and Isabella drops everything and runs to her PaPa every time he arrives....they are lucky girls!!
