Rolling around

Izzie gets were she plays and rolls all over when she plays. This is how I found her one morning after I got the kids out the door to school. It just makes me giggle.

She got so tired she fell asleep under the chair

The kids love to play with Izzie. Lately Katie is really into pretending she is shopping so Izzie was her baby and she went shopping. I think Izzie was fine with that.

FOOD

At Thanksgiving Izzie was having such a hard time watching everyone eating and she wanted to try it too. The whole time at both meals she just yelled at us and would try grabbing everything to eat it. So after that day I went and got some rice cereal, banana, applesauce baby food and bitter biscuits. Just to try. She is a little younger then my other children when I tried feeding them but I asked the pediatrician and he said it was fine since she was so interested.

Well she is the best eater I have ever had she loves too eat. She will eat it all. She also makes a Mmmm noise after every bite. It is so funny. She also gets frustrated because you can't feed her fast enough. Now I have tried a few different foods and there are a few she doesn't like but she will still try and eat them anyway. She will even try and gag herself. She is so silly, and entertaining the kids love to watch her eat.

We took some pics of her first experience.

Thanksgiving!!!

We had a great Thanksgiving. We went over to my aunt's house and had a great feast. The kids played with there cousin Hannah. We had a good time visiting and goofing around. I of course forgot my camera.

Then the Friday after we went to Thanksgiving Point and went to the farm. (With Chris's Fam) Then went and got hot chocolate in the cafe'. Then as we were leaving we saw the reindeer getting ready for Santa.

We need one of these at home-hehehe

Cousin Addie loves Noah. She usually is hanging out with him.




Santa's Reindeer

Then on Saturday we had another Thanksgiving with Chris's family. At Calley, and Cassie's house. We all go so stuffed, we just hung out afterwards. Even the kids just were lazy and sat around.

Aunt Jen and Uncle Scott always still the baby's.

We love it.

Addie just loves Noah.

She decided she was tired and the only one she would sit with was Noah.



Then she decided she wanted to hold a baby so she tryed to hold Izzie. It didn't work very good.

She needs to get a lot of practice- her mom and dad announced she will be a big sister in about 7 months.

CALIFORNIA!

Back in April we decided to go to California. Go to Disneyland and the beach and stuff. So we payed for our condo and everything. But after we moved we debated if we should go or not. But things were already paid for so we went. I am so so so glad we did. It was really fun. A very needed vacation for all of us.

The first 2 days we were there we went to Disneyland. Then we went and spent a day at the beach it was really nice. We could see dolphins out really close to the beach. I saw one so close to Chris I swear if he reached out he could have touched it. Noah just loves the beach. He chases sea gulls, digs in the sand, gets wet, becomes a sea monster with sea weed. What else could a boy want. The girls also like it too. Just not to that joyous extent. He is in heaven when we get there. Izzie enjoyed it too. She was sticking her hand in the sand feeling it and I was looking out at he other kids and looked down and apparently she likes the taste too. She was eating it- oops. At the end of the day we rented a beach bike for four and our family of six got on it. We rode up and down the beach I thought it was fun, but Chris didn't really because Izzie got hungry during our ride so I was busy feeding her and couldn't help peddle and the only other one that could reach the pedals was Allie. Poor guy towing 5 other people around. I laugh just thinking about it.

Then the day after the beach we just spent the day at the condo. The condos we stay at are nice because they always have activities planed for kids. So the kids got to play games in the pool and in the evening it was kid movie night and then they got free games in the arcade.

Then the next two days we went back do Disneyland. It was so fun this year. Allie and Noah usually are scared of rides and have a hard time enjoying there selves. But they did great this time by the third day they were going on every thing they loved space mountain, Thunder mountain, the Matterhorn. But they didn't even try Splash Mountain, but that is totally fine with me I am just glad they pushed there fears aside and had fun. Katie on the other hand would go on anything from the first day and absolutely loved it. She was our ride buddy. Because Chris and I would take turns staying with Izzie and any kid that was scared. But most the rides we all could just go on. The last day was the day they start the Christmas stuff so we saw the Christmas parade and we watched the other shows too. Like Fantasmic and the fire works and they make it snow after wards it is so cool. They make it so magical

Some of the new stuff is cool. The finding nemo ride, toy story ride (California adventure), talking with crush was really neat even though I was in the very back feeding Izzie. But he talked to Chris and Allie.

The weather was great, the lines were short. I didn't want to come home I think I might just live there. hehehe
