Fab-u-lous!


Isabelle is Sharpay mixed with Gabriella from High School Musical at age 6. It is the funniest thing to watch Izzie and Allie drive down the sidewalk in the pink convertible. The first time she took it out Izzie almost went off edge of the sidewalk. She turned around, giggled, and said in her best valley girl voice, "Oops, sorry I wasn't paying attention". My mind fast forwarded 1o years--scary. I have to say she has become a pretty good driver. Three point turns are easy now. It is priceless to hear them scream, "Woo-hoo" as they take off and Allie's hands fly up in the air. They wave to all of the neighbors and kids as we drive down the walking trails to the park where they make an appearance before heading back.

Izzie told Allie not to tell her how to drive. She said, "Siit back, relax, listen to some music." and then turned on the barbie rave music on the car radio. Hmm, is she listening to Daddy in the car? Although, I taught Allie a few bad habits in the car. I honked a friendly honk to tell someone to go at a green and she threw her hands up in the air and exasperated said, "Gees, come on!" I really should watch that. Anyway, they have a blast in their pink mustang. And I have a small glimpse of them in high school. Which is so cute and so scary at the same time.

Thanks Mom!



I am back in Arizona and I left without leaving a note for my mom so this is it:

Mom,
Thank you so much for all of your help. I don't know how I would've done it without you. Thank you for watching my girls and taking such good care of them. Thank you for figuring out outfits, doing hair, taking Izzie to school, picking up, doing homework. Thank you for doing endless laundry and cleaning. Thank you for waking up at 12 and 3 and 5 when you heard the baby cry. Thank you for talking, encouraging, and uplifting. Thank you for taking care of sick girls, all 3 of us. Thank you for making the holidays so wonderful. Thank you for the customized breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Thank you for all of the amazing quilts and blankets. Thank you for cuddling my girls. Thank you for being such an amazing mother, grandmother, and friend. I love you so much and I appreciate you more than you will ever know. I love you.

Peace, Joy, and Love


Here is our Christmas card birth announcement we sent out this year. Again by Jess Bishop. They turned out so pretty with a pearl finish.
