My little girl is growing up =(

She is just looking entirely too grown up. =(

A bunch of randomness....

No major stories or anything here. So this post will probably just be a bunch of randomness. But hey, as long as there are pictures, who cares, right? This has been a rough week for Ken. He had a tooth start hurting him on Sunday afternoon. The dentist wasn't able to see him until Tuesday. They did nothing for him other than provide him some pain killers. They told him the tooth would either need a root canal or to be pulled, but they couldn't do it until March 12. So we called and got him in with an Oral Surgeon for today (Thursday). Unfortunately, he also had a corporate visit at his store this week, so he couldn't even really take any time off to deal with this. Luckily the visit was this morning, so he was fine to come home once they left and we'll leave for his appointment shortly.

We have new adventures with Isabella on a daily basis. Her favorite thing to do lately is to find anything she can wrap around her shoulders and walk around saying, "cold, cold." Its quite cute actually. When I grab her to give her a hug, she also will now say that she's "tuck" (stuck). But she can be very cuddly sometimes and at times even loves to give kisses. Here are a few random pictures of the past few weeks in our house.


Speaking of Isabella and her "cold, cold." This was at Aunt Linda's and she was walking around with a pillow case. So Aunt Linda put her in the pillow case and put a pillow on the floor and she had a ball curling up IN the pillow case. Goofy kid.



Bad hair day for an 18 month old.


Then, just to show that we do actually do something with her hair at times.




So the other day, I went to get Isabella dressed and grabbed a pair of jeans. However, there was a little problem when I put them on her. Evidently, they were capris, not jeans. So she looks like she was waiting for a flood. I did change her pants. Then she looked like she was ready to head to the gym or something.




My little hoodlum baby. Isabella loves to put hats on her head. Any hat. Or mixing bowl. Or box. This hat happens to be black knit and she looks like a little hoodlum baby in it. She was yelling at me about something. I have no idea what. Probably for taking her picture or something. She's very vocal. I just wish I knew what she was saying.

Nursery

Isabella is 18 months old today. So anyone in the Mormon church knows that means that Isabella can now go in the nursery. Woo hoo. This means that Mommy and Daddy might actually get to hear a Sunday School lesson. She did quite well in there today. She went in and there were toys, so of course she'd be fine. I peaked in at one point and she was crying, but Ken thinks the Primary Chorister scared her when he came in for singing time. But she settled down and stayed in there the whole time. Now, we'll just have to wait and see if she does as well next week.

More sledding videos

We went sledding up at Godwin Middle School. Isabella isn't quite ready for the hill to the football field, so we just went down the hill from the tennis courts to the soccer fields. She had a blast.

Crawling around in the snow



First time down the hill with Daddy. Linda and Mike weren't there yet with the sleds, so we had brought a plastic tray that I didn't care if it got messed up. It seemed to work well until Ken broke it trying to "surf" down the hill on it.




Snow angels....or not.

Going down the hill by herself



And last but not least, Ken trying to "surf" down the hill....on an actual sled this time.

Sledding

Isabella had a ball sledding. As soon as they'd get down the hill, she say "Again" and start trekking towards the hill. She tried climbing it a couple times but would fall a short way up. She even sled down by herself a couple of times. Here are the still shots and a few videos. Once the battery charges on the main video camera, I'll get those videos posted. I had fun watching the revelry until I realized that the car key was no longer in my pocket. Luckily Uncle Mike found it after Linda and I left to see if there was a key to our house at Mom & Dad's house so that we could get the extra car key. Found out we don't have an extra key at their house, so I'll be making a trip to the hardware store to fix that problem. Then we came home and warmed up noses and toes and had dinner.
