My Sleepy Baby

Because of her acid reflux, Isabelle has a hard time sleeping. She has a hard time getting settled and staying asleep. She does a little bit better in her carseat, because it's so upright. I couldn't resist taking these pictures because she was finally so exhausted she was totally out and snoring a little bit... how cute!!

No matter what I do, she manages to wiggle her little toes out. I think she has the cutest, softest feet in the whole world. I love to rub them and kiss each little toe. She is such a miracle to me, and I don't think I'll ever get over how amazing she is!

Happy Father's Day!!

On Father's day, Isabelle and I got up early to make Ryan breakfast in bed. We were so excited for his first official Father's Day!

Ryan is such a good Daddy to Isabelle. Even though she's screaming in this picture, I promise she loves him very much! He is so sweet with her and I love seeing this protective daddy side of him! I am so grateful that he works so hard so that I can stay home with Isabelle. I love being able to take care of her everyday... thanks Ryan! We love you!!

I just wanted to also say how grateful I am for our dads. My dad is such a cute Grandpa. Isabelle is so lucky to have him! I am so glad that even after thirteen grandkids, he is so excited to see her and play with her. He even got her to stick her tounge out at him!! He's always been an amazing dad- the kind of dad that knows how to do everything. He takes good care of us and I'm so grateful for him and love him tons!

Isabelle is lucky to have another Grandpa who also loves her very much!! Ryan's dad is so cute with her. He always wants his turn to hold her and play with her. He has always been so nice to me, too. He has always been so welcoming and he's the kind of father-in-law that you can always joke and tease with. We're so grateful for him and love him very much!

Happy Fathers Day!!

Alder's Picnic

Every year Ryan's work has a picnic during the Summer. It's especially fun because he works with family, so we get to hang out with his brother and cousins. We were excited to take Isabelle to meet everyone, but nervous that she would scream the whole time. Well, she did great! She was happy and sleepy the whole time.

Isabelle getting ready before the picnic... I love bath time pictures!!

The bow looks cuter on Izzy, sorry Alex!

You know you're a mom when...

Yep, that's right... that is poop on my leg. It's from a poop/sneeze. It's one of Isabelle's best tricks.

Isabelle's First Vacation!

Isabelle went on her very first trip... We went down to St. George with some friends. It was so nice for all of us to get away! Ryan had lots of fun helping Mark plant palm trees (he even has scars to prove it!) while us girls went shopping! Isabelle did great on her first shopping trip. Amanda did great shoved in the back of the car on the way there, too! Isabelle loved the warm weather... she took naps in her stroller parked in the shade while we swam and layed out. It was such a fun trip!!

Thorson Lincoln

Isabelle has a new cousin!! After a full day of labor, followed by two hours of pushing, and then a c-section... my sister Jody had her baby!! Poor girl- what a hard delivery, but I'm sure she'd tell anyone that it was worth it... he could not be cuter!! They named him Thorson Lincoln Wixom. I love him so much already! I really wish they'd call him Thor (how cool is that name???) but they are going to call him Lincoln. That's a cute name too, so I'm ok with it... not that it really matters what I think, I know. Anyways, I am so grateful to have such a wonderful sister, it has been so fun sharing the pregnancy experience, and now the newborn baby experience with her!! I am so excited for these two kiddos to grow up together!! Five weeks seems like a big difference in right now, but really that is such a close age! I can just imagine all the fun things they'll do growing up together!

T-Linc and Izzy... buddies already!

Look at all that hair... what a cutie!!

The proud parents with their sweet boy

We are so excited for Jody and Troy! I'm so grateful he's here and healthy and that Jody's doing good as well. Babies are such blessings. Yay for cousins!!
