the day after

isabel had to wear her cinderella dress ALL day long... it was awfully cute. this is the 2 of them playing in the kitchen. they were baking cookies and isabel was actually sharing.

the two "cindelellas"

our carriage awaits

all ready

our little sleeping beauty... hector thought this was jax!

all week i had been telling isabel that she was going to get a surprise... new cinderella dress, limo ride, and disney on ice. i laid out her dress beside her while she napped so it would be the first thing she saw. unfortunately i had to wake her up from her nap and she was less than excited to see the dress. but, she finally let me put it on and we waited for the limo.

i videoed her walking down the steps and had thoughts of when she would be walking out on her first date or to her first dance. it was a little emotional. she was really worried that i wasn't going to go with her and i had to keep assuring her that i was coming along.

once we arrived we got our picture taken, saw the princess show, and bought $20 worth of popcorn and snow cone. we had amazing seats and finally sat down to enjoy the show.

First 2010 trip to the zoo...

hmm...

she was scared of the construction noise... she 

periodically hopped in throughout the day

i am so glad that we did a FOTZ membership, it was well worth the price. hector was off for 2 of my spring break days and this day was gorgeous. when we first got there we stopped to look at the progress they're making on the polar bear exhibit. i looked away from isabel for a second and she was gone. my heart started racing and i began to panic... i frantically asked hector if he knew where she was. this is where we found her...

Mr. Jax

watching monsters inc... i've never seen him do this before

a headstand... i think he's been watching izzy.

the smile

what can i say about our little man? now that he's completely mobile he is into everything and is everywhere... the baby gate upstairs finally had to go back up. such a doll.

NaNa's 66th Birthday Dinner...

isabel snuck into the picture

would you believe that isabel actually took this picture!

jackie, cheyenne, jaxon, and nana

tonight we went to texas roadhouse to celebrate my nana's 66th birthday! my momma, daddy, and were there along with nana and papa and aunt jackie, uncle mark, and cousin cheyenne. we had so much fun especially when nana got in the saddle... and she almost fell over! of course my mama is having trouble with her memory card again and half of the pictures are gone alone with the video of nana in the saddle:-(

tomorrow is day 2 of spring break... we're headed to storytime at the library, PAT visit in the evening, and then i get to try out the dragonfly gymnastics class! if i stay with the class and follow directions i get to join the class and leave the parent tot class behind!

spring break has officially begun! last night jax and i stopped by the great-grandparents house to have a visit with great grandpa and great aunt karen... great grandma is in sunny san diego. this afternoon we went to jacob's birthday party and isabel is spending the night with nana. jax and i headed up to the legends to have a late lunch with daddy and then look at bedroom furniture at nebraska furniture mart. lastly, we headed to oak park mall and got isabel a cinderella dress for her trip to disney on ice! and that was only the first day of the break... whew.

Snack Time

jax and i just woke up from our naps and of course we needed a snack. i noticed that jax was sitting on the kitchen floor eating so i decided to join him. of course i tried to steal his snack... isn't that what big sisters are supposed to do?

Where's NaNa

nana came by for a much needed visit... she disappeared into the restroom and we just couldn't wait for her to come out. so, jaxon and i were both on our tummies looking under the door. of course when momma tried to take a picture we both got up.

Tate and Marli's First Birthday Party

yummy... cupcakes

the birthday table

jaxon and harlo... i wish this picture wasn't blurry 

because she is beautiful

jax loves playing with balls

last weekend we were able to go to tate and marli's first birthday parties at gymboree. tate and marli are the kid's of 2 of momma's colleagues and tate is also one of jax's best friends at celias. tate, marli, and jax were all born within 1 month of one another! we both got to play at gymboree, eat cupcakes, sing happy birthday, and watch them open presents. it was so much fun... thanks so much for inviting us!
