What's Been Going On:

We had our first trip back to California since moving to Colorado:

Isabella and her best friend, Landon enjoying Popsicles together.

Isabella's favorite treat is a Popsicle.

With her cousins at the park.

In our family, we live up to the saying, "Shop until you drop"! Isabella is napping
peacefully on Grandma's lap while out shopping.

Looking adorable.

Isabella holding hands with her good friend, Alicia.

On the carousel, one of Bella's other favorite things.

At the farm with our friend, Margaret, and cousin, Madeline.

Daddy's girl.

Isabella and Grandma at Fashion Island.

Isabella turned 2!!

Isabella saw this bike at Target a while back and talked about it so much. It was her
2nd Birthday gift from mommy and daddy. If you ask her about it she'll tell you,
"Bike, helmet for head, basket, and bell, it rings." She loves it and she is too cute!

We attended our first small town event in Colorado called the "Ducky Derby":

It was a cold, windy day, but that didn't take away the fun.

Thousands of rubber duckies are put into the creek for the race.

The ducks are taken out one by one and the numbers on the ducks are
announced for any winners with matching raffle ticket numbers.
We didn't win, but it was still fun to watch.

We celebrated Mother's Day:

It was a perfect day for a picnic and play at the park.

We've made friends:

Isabella and Elijah (our pastor's son). Watch out Landon, Bella and Eli really
like each other and talk about one another all of the time!
Bella even prays for Eli at bedtime, but she still prays for Landon too:)

and . . . We bought a house!!

The backyard is great for outside play!

Good thing David bought a lawn mower! He'll be buying some grass
seed this weekend to fill in those brown spots.

This pic was taken the first time we saw the house.

So, that's pretty much what's been going on with us. Isabella continues to amaze us with all that she does and especially with what she says now that she's talking in these long sentences. She loves our house, especially the grassy yards. We'll be playing outside and she'll just lie on the grass and smile! We are so thankful to God for providing us with a home that is more than we imagined to ever own.
