Sledding

We had great plans to take Isley sledding this winter, but the weather had other plans. We decided that we would chance it anyway and take her to the foothills. Of course I forgot the camera, but sledding through the weeds was not her thing so after to small runs we hiked back to the car. Here she is getting ready to hit the slopes.

Xmas

Xmas was wonderful as usual. We hustled from house to house, ate too much and opened lots of wonderful gifts. Isley had a blast, but was worn out by the end of everything. This year seemed to be Vandal themed- Vandal shirts, Vandal pants, Vandal blankets. As a result Isley is getting really great at the Vandal Fight Song. I spell out I-D-A-H-O and she chants "Idaho, Go, Go, Go!
The pictures are the best, but they will have to do.
Her train set.

Play-Doh. Daddy bought a 24 pack that will be sure to last for months and months.

Matching Vandal pants- Corey also got a pair!

Vandal pants and a cutie for xmas.

Tree Decor

Just some snap shots of us decorating our lovely tree. I am all about the live trees (much more Green) and we didnt' have time to cut one down this year, so we picked one up at the Y. It is just our style! Isley helped decorate this year and didn't break any of the plastic bulbs. Don't mind the hair- we just got back from swimming.

Fly Tying

Isley loves to help daddy do anything with fishing or hunting. She loves to play with the deer sheds, jump around in his tent, fish on the stairs and her new find.....helping daddy tie flies.

Late Halloween/Nov

This is only a little late-HA! Isley fit into her pumpkin costum from last year- so she was another darling pumpkin. We took her to Boo at the Zoo and she had a blast running around looking at the animals- and we kept er to two tootsie rolls all night.
On Halloween she helped pass out candy- I thought she would be more interested than she was, but we had fun seeing all the kids come to our door.
Her monster hat and vest. I love all the fun kids hats they have available now. I could buy 100's of them, but we just stuck to this one. And Grandma bought her an elmo hat too.

Koal ripped her leg open hunting this year. She had to wear the cone for about a week. Isley enjoyed the cone more than Koal.

Practicing using her swimming floaty. We actaully haven't taken this to the pool, but in makes for a fun toy.

Goggles

We have been taking Isley swimming about once a week. Out gym has a "therapy" pool that is heated to about 96 F and it is perfect to splash around in for an hour. Our good friend Jona bought these goggles for Isley- I wasn't sure she would wear them, but she LOVES them! She even wears them in the bath tub. I think she looks like a Harry Potter character.

Trucks and 30

Don't mind the pics of my 30th. The first is blurry, but it is a good belly shot (27 weeks) and the family one is just not cute. Corey and I went out to a delicious dinner with some good friends. Thought about going dancing afterwards, but the thought of me shaking it on the dance floor with my belly hanging out just wasn't appetizing. I keep that to the living room with Isley right now- she doesn't mind if my belly hangs out or I am a little off beat.

Isley loves to play with her trucks. The cement truck is hers and daddy and I have to share the dump truck- depending on who she wants to play with her.
