Through the Eyes of Izzy

Yesterday Mommy, Daddy and I drove to Indiana to visit Aunt Susie and Uncle Scott.  This is our third annual vacation to Lamb Lake.  I love spending the week with Uncle Scott and Aunt Susie!  We go to the beach, swim, boat, go tubing, and lots of other fun things.  I love going on this vacation with my Mommy and Daddy.  This morning it was a little chilly.  Don't you love my "muscles"?  I'll try to post more pictures later.

I am taking swimming lessons now.  We go on Saturday mornings at the local community college - CSM, the College of Southern Maryland.  Mommy, Aunt Sarah, and Grandma Lori all graduated from this college and Uncle Tony is going there now. I am the only girl in my class. The boys in the class are kind of annoying.  Some of them splash me when it is my turn to work with the teacher. I am getting more comfortable in the pool and learning new things. Mommy and Daddy are very happy with my progress and the fact that I sit and listen when the others in my class don't . Today Grandma and Papa stopped by to watch me swim.  I was so surprised to see them.  Of course, Grandma took a lot of pictures.  I don't mind though.  I even stopped to pose for her on my way out after class. 

Christmas morning at Grandma's house.  As Uncle Tony handed me this package, he dropped it and then it rattled and he said he broke it. It was Legos! My Uncle Tony is so silly. Yes! I got the chopsticks I wanted! Abby and I took turns opening gifts and Ellie was taking a nap. Abby got the Princess Barbies she wanted.  She was so surprised.   Grandma Lori made hats for Abby and me! Then the part I had been waiting for . . . I had a big surprise for Abby! I gave her my Powerwheel.  I'm getting too big for it and she loves riding it when she comes to my house.    She was happy! She took me for a ride. Oops! I think more driving practice will help.  Abby was really good at the driving by the end of the day.  Ellie woke up from her nap and opened her presents.    Mommy made these Easter decorations for Grandma and Aunt Sarah. Grandma's is the blue one and ...

Everyone says I'm looking so grown up now.  Aunt Susie and Uncle Scott came for Thanksgiving.  Aunt Susie, Abby, and I were in charge of decorations. Just chilling out Happy Birthday Mommy! This year Mommy had a turkey birthday.  That is what we call it when her birthday is on Thanksgiving. I love rocking with Ellie! Papa bought this carousel for Grandma.  Abby and I love it!   This is what it looks like lit up at night. Uncle Tony decided to cook Japanese style one night.  Don't you love the hat? He is such a fun uncle Uncle Scott and Aunt Susie joined in the fun too. The grown ups had fun playing a game called Telestrations.   I had fun watching Ellie. I completed a tree project for school.  You can see Grandma's new Christmas tree in the background.  Uncle Scott put it up. Do you think he will put the tree up next year too?   Mommy and Aunt Sarah being silly t...
