The Girls

 Here are a few very random pictures of the girls.

A couple of weeks ago Olivia got new glasses. We went to the ophthalmologist about 2 years ago and found out that Olivia was farsighted the ophthalmologist was hoping that her eyes would improve with time but they haven't they have gotten worse instead and since she starts kindergarten this Fall she was prescribed glasses. And no she does not love them, she cried for about 3 hours straight the day we went and picked them up. But everyday she feels a little better about them.

 

 Olivia likes to pretend that Isabel is old enough to have sleep over with her.

One with beautiful big brown eyes.

 And one with beautiful blue eyes. (We'll see if they stay blue)

She's getting so big!

On the Fourth...

... we managed to get our Dad to put his books down long enough to go to a parade. Not the best parade ever but it was something to do plus who doesn't like to sit and watch a parade while they sweat to death! 

Afterwords we went and had lunch at the park with great friends. Then we went home so Dad could study some more and Izzy Boo could have a nap.

And we ended the day with fireworks, of course!

3 Months

 Our little Izzy Boo is 3 months! Time is going by so fast but at the same time it feels like she has been a part of our family forever!

The picture below is a picture of Olivia around the same age. Can you tell that they are sisters? :) Sometimes they look so different to me and then at times they look so alike, its funny. It will be so fun to see the similarities in the two as they grow up.

These days Isabel will reach out for her toys and if she grabs hold of them she will chew on them, she loves to blow bubbles and have conversations but her most favorite thing to do is to give a big cheesy smile :)

Swimming

 We have been spending LOTS of days at the pool swimming this summer! Olivia is becoming a better swimmer every time we go to the pool. She loves to jump in the without her floaters and swim to the service and is able to keep her head above the water for a couple of seconds.

And this is how Izzy spends her days at the pool :)

Attitude? What attidude??!

 We had a little get together with friends from church the other day and someone asked Jared if Isabel was a smiley happy baby or if she had sassy attitude like her big sister... I don't know if I should laugh about my daughter having a sassy attitude, cry or be embarrassed. We are working on her sassiness but what can I say my daughter is very independent and prideful and struggles to look at strangers when they talk to her which makes her come off rude but she's also the sweetest thing and loves to help others out and most of all she's the best big sister!

In the three months of being a big sister we yet to have a temper tantrum on her new little sister taking away attention from her, which I think is amazing saying she has been the only child for 5 years! I love my Baby Girl Olivia!!! (Oh and if you are wondering Isabel is a happy baby who loves to smile from ear to ear!)

Buddies

Last week Ty, Kari and Carson moved to Wisconsin, I guess after people graduate with their MBA they go and get a job. Weird. We were sad to see them go they aren't just family but one of our best friends. 

This guy is too cute, I love him to pieces! She's pretty cute too.

 We wish Ty, Kari and Carson the best in their new journey!

 Cousins Isabel - Carson - Porter

How cute are they?!!!

 

 Jared's mom got married on June 2nd and we went to Utah for the wedding (Jared's Dad passed away almost two years ago from cancer). Sadly this is the best picture I took of the couple.

 Isabel was such a good baby and slept through the ceremony and dinner but screamed the whole time we were having pictures.

 This is the smile I get out of Olivia these days. Love 5 year old's!

 I love Jared's sisters, not every wife can say that their sister in laws are their best friends but mine are. And we have cute babies.

 Isabel 2 months, Porter 4 months and Carson 3 months.

It's going to be so fun to watch these three grow up and play together.

March 24th 10:02 am

8lb. 2oz. 20 in long

 Love at first sight.

The scheduled c-section went really well, no exciting dramatic story to tell. Jared and I arrived at the hospital at 8:00 am and she was out screaming at the world at 10:02 am.

Olivia is the best big sister! She loves to help and take care of her little sister. I was sure that we would have some jealous moments and tantrums over the new little sister but not one yet. 

(The pictures are obviously not in order)

We sure do love our Izzyboo, she's such a joy and blessing in our lives. 

2 Months

Today Isabel turned 2 months, wait maybe I should rewind 2 months! To be continued...
