Running

This is a picture of us hiking with the goats. We took Isley and 2 goats- she let us pack her for a while then insisted on walking (which goes really slow as she investigates every bug and plant she sees). Heise Half-Marathon

Corey on his 10-mile leg of the To Bone and Back Relay. Ususally teams consist of 8 people (5-miles each) but we had a 4-person team and each took 10 miles. The course is really hilly and by the time we ran it was toasty out. We placed 5th overall out of 100+ teams.

Puppies

So glad the weather is beautiful out and we are spending all sorts of time outdoors. We play in the front and back and at the garden all the time.
The first pic was Isley's sorting of my shoes. She is getting over her shoe phase, but it lasted about 3 weeks and besides her walking around the house in my shoes she would also organize them. Sometimes kids do the strangest things.

Isley loves to walk the dogs, feed the dogs, pet the dogs, throw the ball for the dogs and water the dogs. They seem to enjoy it too- especially when she feeds them because she gives them seconds and thirds.

Jumparoo

Isley loves to play in her crib. She gets mad if we take her out to quickly after nap time and has not had a chance to throw all hr blankets out and bounce around. We typically have to be in the room watching her and throwing her the balls or she gets mad. At least she hasn't tried to get out yet!!

High Heels

Her new thing is to wear my high heels. She is really good at walking around the house in them. I don't wear heels too much so I don't know why she likes them so much, but everytime she goes missing we look in our closet and there she is picking out a pair of flats or trying to walk in my stilletos.

She also likes her Elmo jammies she got for her birthday.

Butterflies

Just a few snapshots of the Turkey and I wearing our summer dresses for the one day that summer came to town.

Little Green Gardner

Isley is quite the little gardner. She helped me plant our garden and she loves to help water the flowers. Just want this weather to stay nice so I can teach her the most important part of gardening- pulling weeds! Ha!

Shes TWO!

Isley turned TWO today! We had a fun filled day with lots of playing and suprises. We started with a jog at 7am (she woke up early and I needed to get one in). We stopped and fed some carrots to a horse, which she was a fan of. We came home and woke daddy up, opened presents and had yummy fresh blueberry pancakes- her fav. We didn't assemble to presents the night before (our mistake) so Corey worked on her new trike and I worked on her water station. She helped out where she could. Then we played with all her new toys before she zonked out for her nap. After her nap we played on her trike then headed down to an elementary school a block away for her party. She played on all the toys, opened more presents and had some cupcake- yes I let her have some cupcake. She had a great time and is spoiled- Thanks to everyone!

Hold on!

Yummy cupcake.

She loved the frosting. She actually licked about half of the frosting, had two bites of cupcake and was done.
