Isabelle with one of her favorite friends, Emry. We met them at the community playgroup over a year ago and finally had them over for dinner. The girls were so cute- matching by coincidence.
Jumping on the couch.


Wendell playing with one of Isabelle's birthday present. He loves using the screw driver. I love how this tongue is out as he concentrates.

Cade and Wendell playing in the toy box. Cade's mom and I swap babysitting to go to institute. (Unfortuantely we only got to do it once and then our family got super sick- for the WHOLE MONTH of Feb.!!) The three kids played so well together.

Isabelle's 3rd Birthday- January 16th

Isabelle opening presents on the morn of her birthday. (Possibly not the best timing because then she didn't take a nap. Kind of anticlimactic for her special cake since she was right there kickin' around while I made it. So much for surprises.)


Isabelle's castle birthday cake Richard and I made. It's not the best picture, but I was hurrying because we were about to be late to the party. It's our first "special" cake we ever attempted. She just cared that was strawberry. (Strawberry was the kind of cake she said she wanted.)

Waiting to eat cake...

This is my favorite pic. (Thanks for taking pictures, Jeremy.)


We did the party at the Institute where there was more room. It turned out really well. We had music and dancing, toys and games like Duck, Duck, Goose. We had coloring and cake. We tried to keep it somewhat small.

Wendell being so super adorable!! PS he LOVES the bath. He is a splashing fish.


In Cali. when we went for Christmas.

Oakland Temple view. It was amazingly clear. Richard is the panorama pro.


Family pictures. Cousins Brooklyn, Porter and Wendell.



Love you guys!
