She's got the Eye of the Tiger

Boxing Queen of the Wii...

And she wins!!!!

My beautiful Belle

I can't believe you are turning 5. My, how the time has flown by. You came into this world screaming. We knew right then you'd make your voice heard, and boy have you! You are our little chatterbox who always has a story to tell!

We could also tell right away that you'd be our cuddlebug. You still love to cuddle! You are such a little sweetheart and so loving.

You have filled our lives with smiles and endless laughter.
You aren't afraid to be yourself. You are crazy silly, and have a wicked sense of style. You're a stunner baby!The years have flown by, candles have been added. You still love to poke your finger into the frosting and flash a cheesy dimply grin.

You truly do your name justice. You are not only beautiful on the outside, but you have the purest, most beautiful heart. I love you with all of mine. Happy 5th Birthday my sweet Isabelle. xoxo, Mommy

Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas with only one hitch this year. Our sweet little man woke up on Christmas Eve not feeling so well. I took him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with croup. Even sick, he had the doctor and nurses fawning all over him. What a Lady Killer.

The doctor said he'd be fine to continue our plans to celebrate with the family, so we did.

Santa paid us a visit....

Santa brought us a new tv and Wii. Thanks Santa! Belle is amazing at the Wii. I need to have Omar video her so I can post it. She talks smack to the tv. It's hilarious!

She loved her art center we bought her. She's our little artist who is constantly drawing, so she was thrilled. Poor Papi was not feeling well and wasn't really into opening his gifts.

We went to the IL's, and he ended up not feeling too well at all.

The next day he stayed at home with Daddy and MIL. Before bed I found that he had broken out in hives! Poor baby. Off to the doctor we went twice more that weekend. He had an ear infection as well as some sort of allergic reaction.

He's feeling much better now and enjoying his gifts, so I'll have to get some pictures of him.

I think that about sums it up! I hope everyone had a nice Christmas.
