Family Photos!

We've been meaning to take photos of isabel as well as family photos for a long time now.  We were never able to find the right person here in chicago, so we always put it off.  Izzy had picture day at her preschool last month where we met andrea from www.andreabroglephotography.com  and she took such cute pics of izzy for school, that we thought we would try her for family shots. Here are a couple sneak peeks from her blog.  I'm looking forward to seeing the rest next week. The photos were just taken at the bunny park we always go to about a hundred feet from our house.  It was a hot and muggy day, but izzy enjoyed taking the pics and wearing her blue dress =)  We wanted to take pics here in chicago so izzy would always remember it.  Also....izzy is going to be a big sister finally so we wanted to capture her alone before the family expands to 4!

Trip To Quebec City!

We got to tag along with samuel on his trip to quebec city.  we are so glad we went.  it was such a beautiful place that we instantly fell in love with it.  isabel loved saying bonjour! everywhere she went.  we didn't even need a car, because we were able to walk around everywhere.  i love that!

getting on the tiny plane to Quebec from Montreal....izzy thought it was just right for her size.  i thought it was scary that it was so small.

A Trip to Seattle/Tacoma

Izzy and I took a trip out to Seattle to see family and friends.  It was great to see everyone and to be able to relax.  I think this was the first time we went just because.....all the other times, it was for an event or occasion.  We especially wanted to see my brother and sister in law once more before she has her baby in July.  Isabel loved being at my parents house.  She had so many people to play with and so many things to do!

Her new thing for the past several months have been playing games.  Games like Zingo! Great States, Magna Tiles, puzzles, and her all time favorite right now.....MEMORY GAME.  I am amazed at the ability that this girl has when playing this game.  When we were at my parents and inlaws house, she beat everyone there.  After playing this game and losing to a 4 year old, everyone started treating her like she was an adult.  It was hilarious.  This has probably got to be one of the best games kids can play.  The rate at which their memory skills grow is tremendous.  Any moms with kids, go out and buy your kid a set.  She had a disney princess set, but my friend Kris bought her a different one at the Woodland Park Zoo of a variety of butterflies, and now that has become her favorite.  One day i will have to upload a video of her playing with samuel.  He shows no mercy =)

We also went to a outdoor play of Beauty and the Beast.  In all my years of living in washington, i never knew about Forest Theatre.  It is located in Bremerton and what a treasure!!! It was an outdoor theatre nestled deep in the woods.  This was their 85th year performing!!! Isabel loved it and the cast and crew were so nice.  Again...if you have kids in washington, this is a must see.

Hanging out with friends!

Now that the weather has been warming up, it feels sooooo nice!!! Having lots of fun taking izzy to the park and actually spending time outside. Some of her favorite things these days are creating puzzles, playing the memory game, watching Go Diego Go!, Dora ( she used to like it when she was 2 and then forgot about Dora for a while and now loves them again ) and drawing of course.  Here are some recent pics. 

Izzy at her friends birthday party held at the firezone.  very cool place for kids to be a firefighter for the day. Happy 4th birthday Romen.
