It's time to party!

We called Grandma to tell her Happy Birthday this morning. Instead Isla said "it's time to party!"

Sleep hasn't been going well lately but the past few nights have been great.

Sunday at the pool, J was saying "fee fi fi fum....". Isla said she didn't like J Giant. Hmmm--she must know the story. Apparently Daddy read it to her at bedtime Friday night. That was a HORRIBLE sleep night! She kept saying she had bad dreams. Daddy's going to be careful what he reads at bedtime.

Slacking

The past few weeks have been very hectic and busy. Here are some pics until I get a chance to update again....

Princess Tea Party

Friends came today for a Princess Tea Party and play date. The tea is one that my Grandpa gave someone from church in 1960. It was given back to my mom several years ago and she passed it on to me. It coordinates well with the china my grandparents gave me when I was a little kid. The lovely tablecloth was given to me by A from one of her trips to Germany. But it was the 3 precious little girls who were truly priceless.

I love you baby....

I love you too momma.
I love you three.
I love you five!

Doctor Isla

Hole

Isla went up to Speckles tonight, lifted her tale, pointed, and said "hole." Then she said something about poop.

Here are some phone photos of my princess....

No Daddy--no eat Momma

And so our kiss was interrupted by the child thinking Daddy was trying to eat me.

Kiss it!

So there are a couple of you who read here that I KNOW have heard this story. But I love it and want to make sure I don't forget this sweet stage. Isla is in the "kiss it and make it better" phase. Momma and Daddy can cure anything with a kiss to the affected area (and it's symmetrical counterpart). We're also in a "hyped up before bed" stage and a "try to jump all the time stage." Recently I had her on my lap trying to get her dressed for bed after her bath. She was hyper and trying to do acrobatics on my lap. I was worried that she was going to fall so about the second or third time I got on to her, I swatted her tush (seriously, we spank her much harder when we're playing with her than the few times we do so when she's in trouble). Her little eyes got big, she looked shocked, pouted out her lip, pushed out her hip to turn her backside towards me, and said "kiss it! kiss it!"

Love that little girl!!

Pics, stories, and vacation memories!

Trying to do a month of blogging in one evening....After I did the first post with a few pictures, Blogger wouldn't let me do another post like that so I had to go through Picasa to export pics to the blogs. Not sure why, but that's why all the separate posts.

I didn't think I was getting any good pics of Harrison--little guy moves like a monkey and I didn't think I was catching anything, but I ended up with several I liked. I got a few good ones of Henry too. Love those guys and wish they lived closer!
