Through the Eyes of Izzy

When daddy got home from work today we took a nature walk as a family. I took a plastic grocery bag with me and picked up lots of pretty flowers, leaves, and baby pine cones. Didn't I get a nice collection? This is a picture of my favorite ones. Mommy took the four big flowers in this picture and put them in a Ziploc bag and then pressed them into a book. When they are ready I am going to make a bookmark with them and that way I'll be able to keep them forever. I also got a couple rocks that I'm going to paint and post pictures of later. What a great day!

I have decided I want to be a ballerina, so I have been practicing, and had grandma Lori take pictures of me. Here I am balancing on one foot. And here I am jumping up in the air "Singing in the Rain" style, or so my mommy says. I love to pretend to be a ballerina, well, I love to pretend to be lots of things. Mommy says that is the best part about being a kid is using your imagination, and I think she's right.

While mommy and I were taking a walk today we found this neat Luna Moth in the driveway. We decided to move it off the driveway so it wouldn't get run over by a car. When we scooped it up with a stick it spread its wings and I loved its spots! I also loved its big fuzzy pink legs and fuzzy yellow antennae. We found a good home for the moth and I decided to name it Tuna the Luna Moth.

I found my pretty snake skin, I'd hidden it in the cup holder of my car seat, so I let mommy take a picture of it to show everyone just how neat it is.

Daddy took me to Myrtle Point Park and we went walking around on the trails there. We pretended to be adventures exploring the woods. Along the way we found this big puddle and inside were a bunch of frog eggs, it was so cool. I even got to hold them. Just look how neat they are, what could be better than holding frog eggs?

My Papa and I always go on fun adventures. He always shows me neat things and tells me all about them. We like to look at birds and plants and bugs. I know what a lot of them are too because he teaches me how to recognize them. He also takes me to go see the horses and find fossils; I always have fun with my Papa. The other day he took me on an especially fun adventure. We went walking around in the woods and we climbed up a hill and sat down on it above the fox's den. We wandered around over and under broken trees and followed some deer trails. We found lots of little deer poops along the way, and we also found a big pile of deer poop and I looked at Papa and said, "That's some BIG poop." We also found a snake's skin under a log which I thought was awesome so I kept it. Then we went down to the water, which Papa explained to me was a creek, but I just like to call it water. I put my hands in the water and it was really cold, but it was still neat. I h

The other day Grandma Mitchell showed me the secret of the napkins. I needed a napkin, but there weren't anymore, so I asked Grandma if she could get me some. She told me that I was old enough now to learn the secret of the napkins. She showed me where she kept the napkins (after we made sure Abby wasn't in the room, because they are kept in a small cabinet that Abby would have no trouble getting into). Now, if I ever need a napkin and there aren't any I know where to get more. I just have to make sure Abby doesn't see me, because it's a secret, a big girl secret. Shhhhh!
