Isabelle has been working on her numbers! Ok so all she knows is 2 comes after one...but we are working on three. Today Daniel was asking her how old she was and she replies....THREE! Yes three. So we laugh and then a while later he tests her to see and again she says three. No wonder she is so independent sometimes...she is three and I didn't even know!
Today they had rodeo pictures at school. (I still don't get Houston and this whole Rodeo thing but whatever) But the best part is I didn't know it was rodeo picture day and I dressed her in this cute little sailor girl outfit. Great. Not sure how these pictures are going to come out!
Tomorrow I get to go duke it out for a spot in a new school for Isabelle. Wish me luck. Who knew you had to start fighting to get your kid into a good school this young!!!!

Last night our door bell rings at 9 pm...yes 9pm then the person knocks on the door and I can see them peeking through the window on the door. Naturally I decide its a robber....because they always knock first! But Daniel answers the doors and its two ladys selling Kirby Vacuums. Right your read that right. While they are trying to explain what they are selling the ladys phone rings twice...but not just rings its a the great musical ring tone of Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me. Daniel tells her ..uhhhhhhhhh its 9 at night ,not an appropriate time to be soliciting. To which she replys its 9?? I was 8:30 just a little bit ago. Right. There not hours between 8:30 and 9. Whatever...who sells vacuums at 9 at night. Now if it was the girl scout cookie kids I may have had a better attitude!











Our Goddaughter Cameron came to visit and Isabelle had a blast playing with a big girl for a weekend!!!











Cooper and Cassie also came for a weekend and as you can tell Isabelle tried to win Cooper over by hand feeding him his meals...and offering him some of her juice!

This is Isabelle playing with our Goddaughter Emma...Isabelle is getting lots of good practice being a big sister!



This is her coloring her first picture. I think she is a natural! We have finally moved past eating crayons to coloring with them...most of the time!





Here we are at the Downtown aquarium on the Ferris wheel. I was not as impressed with the heights as Isabelle and Daniel were. There is tons of fun stuff for the kids to do. And it only cost you and arm and a leg.




Ok I really really promise to be better at blogging. (Laura stop laughing...she says I start every post this way!) Isabelle is so much fun right now. She is enjoying showing off her personality. Since I have so many crazy stories about her these days I guess I should share.
Remember that whole stress that she wasn't talking. HA not an issue anymore. The things I will know for next time! Yesterday she discovered the word mine! Not sure how because I never use it?? But the best part is she has no idea what it really means. She just walks around all day saying mine mine mine mine.Not even pointing at things just saying it to herself. Lets just hope it takes her a long time to learn the meaning!
She has also taking to climbing. She keeps pulling her toys over to the end table and using them as a stool to climb up on it. Or she finds a chair and climbs in it and stands there with no hands! So today we implemented time out. Oh and get this...she loves it. I tell her No then when she doesn't listen I say ok do you want to go to time and out...to which she says "Yes" and runs over to her time out chair. She sits there and we go over why we don't stand in chairs or climb then she says "sorry" and climbs down and goes back to getting into trouble. Why is parenting so hard.
I don't have any pics yet but I will post them soon...but Isabelle is the proud wearer of a bob! We had to cut off the mullet and therefore ended up with a bob...but it looks so much better!
