The comic above describes my life perfectly. And to my dismay, it will be june in just a few weeks, and I really don't know where the time is going. Izzy will be 4 in just a few days, then I turn 27, and then it's practically Christmas. I'm trying to live in the moment, and soak up my kids at these fun, carefree stages. I am grateful that I get to be with them for the majority of the time, and I just wish I did a better job at remembering every detail, every cute word, every sweet mannerism, every giggle, every thing that makes them smile and cry and everything in between. I know I take a lot of photos, and I'm glad to have a nice camera in my back pocket 99% of the time, but somehow it still doesn't feel like enough. I feel the memories slipping away right before my eyes, and I'm open to any and all suggestions on ways to stop time and bottle up this wonderful stage of my life.<br />

Anyway, April was FUN! We did so much, and we crammed every day full, and I think that's partially why it flew by in a bit of a blur. Easter fell on General Conference this year, and it was no surprise that my kids were freaking rockstars during all the sessions. We got lucky, and Cam's naps lined up with the sessions perfectly, and he literally slept from opening prayer all the way to the closing prayer each time. And Izzy has always been content to play quietly, so we had a few things for her to play with, and she was content to just be near us, listening to all the talks. The sweetest was how she set up her dolls in her dollhouse. They are all sitting down and watching conference too. I love it so much.<br />

Izzy got some bath crayons and bubble bath in her Easter basket, and she wasted no time requesting a bath, and promptly drawing the PJ Masks all over the shower walls. I was pleased with how easily the bath crayons cleaned up! I see many more tubby art sessions in our future. </div>

April continued to give us beautiful weather, and so we continued to spend as much time outside as possible. We love the park in my moms neighborhood, and go there often, as well as the zoo. We had lots of fun playing with sand toys, and swinging and climbing and going with friends to play in the splashpad at the zoo and see all the animals. </div>

Izzy has been in dance for a whole year now and she had her dance pictures and it was so so so cute. She wore the fluffiest, sparkliest, pinkest, cutest little tutu, and posed so nicely, and was just so sweet. She loves Miss Alex and all her friends at the Dance Barn! </div>

Hope had her baby, and we had a wonderful time spoiling them both at a nice Baby Brunch. It was the best way to celebrate; gorgeous weather, yummy food (that I didn't have to buy or prep), all of our friends and family, plus, the baby was already born, so we got baby snuggles AT the baby shower! It doesn't get any better than that!</div>

I've been studying for the last year to become a Group Fitness Instructor, and I took and passed my test, and then I started working at my gym, and taught my first class in April! I was nervous and stressed out, but I think it went okay. I've taught since then, and each time I teach it just gets better and better! I'm happy teaching, and I'm glad that I followed my passion, and pushed through and went out of my comfort zone to accomplish something I'd been dreaming of doing for years!</div>

Campbell is at such a fun age. He babbles in a little alien baby language all day long. I love it. It's hilarious. He loves cars, pushing baby doll strollers, feeding himself, dancing, giving kisses, his pooh bear lovey, sleeping, throwing balls, bubble baths, copying his sister, and reading the same 3 books over and over and over again. He is so good at all his sign language, and can basically get his point across even though he isn't saying any words yet. He loves animals, and is so soft with them. He's hilarious and easy going and I just love spending my days with him.<br />

We took a fun trip back east with the kids to see the Dbacks play in Philly and DC. I was most nervous about the flights, but it actually went amazingly well. We made it to Philadelphia in one piece, and got right to sight seeing since we were only in Philly for one day. We walked down to the Liberty bell and enjoyed the history and the cherry blossoms. We took the long way to the stadium, and soaked up the beautiful weather. Once we made it to the field, we took some pictures, got some lunch and found our seats. We had a ton of room, so we spread out and let the kids go crazy, and cheered for our Dbacks! Izzy and I made up a new game -Guess the Animal. It's basically reverse 20 questions. You pick and animal, and then give clues to describe it, and see if the other person can guess it. We started out easy, but I was amazed at all the animals Izzy was guessing and all the ones she was having me guess. She's an incredible describer, and it was genuinely fun to play with her, and we probably played for over 2 hours at the baseball game. We still play it almost every day. It's so fun, and I love playing with her.<br />

After the baseball game we headed to the train station and took a train to DC. It was such a long day, and we were all pooped and so so grateful to get to the hotel! The next day was our first full day in DC and we went to the National Mall, and enjoyed all the museums and Izzy especially loved the Natural History museum, and the Air and Space museum. She loved all the big planes, and learning about the planets. I love how much she loves to learn.<br />

The next day we went to the DC Zoo, and saw so many animals. The weather was just lovely, and we just enjoyed being in the sun, and feeling the cool breeze and eating treats and being together as a family. After the zoo, we went on a subway adventure and went down to the Nationals stadium. Alex's aunt and uncle live in Virginia, and they were awesome enough to come and meet up with us to watch the game together. It was great to meet them all, and we had a fun time at the game. It was a spectacular night, and the game did not disappoint. After the game, we went out for pizza and visited and it was a great ending to a great day!<br />

Our last day in DC we had two options. 1. Go see more historical sights (all of which alex and I have already seen) or 2. go back to the ballpark for another game. We ultimately decided that the kids would have more fun at the ballpark than seeing monuments. So back to the park we went. And it ended up being perfect. We didn't know it, but it was Kids Day at Nats Park, and so kids were free, and they got free face painting and balloons, and toys and it was chaotic and chilly and fun fun fun! Our Arizona blood couldn't handle the overcast, cold weather, but we had a great time anyway.<br />

I'm grateful for a family who loves to travel, for kids who are well behaved and easy going, and for a loving husband who plans the whole thing and takes care of us along the way! I love that I have these memories!<br />

April was amazing, and busy, and crazy, and fun and just really really nice.allorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03777641563602063057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068721489136186001.post-26272035416053103702018-04-18T22:05:00.000-07:002018-04-18T22:05:16.322-07:00March UpdateThe weather in March continued to be AMAZING so we kept with our trend of being outside as much as physically possible. The smell of the orange blossoms alone makes you want to be outdoors at all times. We had the best time at the zoo with baby Livy Rey, and Ander and Hope and my mom. The kids were so happy to be free to run, and play and chase birds and play in the splash-pad. I love having a zoo membership and the freedom to be a 'yes mom' and just let the kids lead the way without feeling like I have to do and see everything to get our money's worth. Sometimes we go to the zoo and see only one or two animals, but we play at the slides, run through the water, have a picnic and enjoy the sunshine.<br />

We enjoyed going "bumpity bumptiy" on papa's Rhino and it was a blast. We took the pack and play so Cam had a little safe place to play and Izzy literally never wanted to give up her spot on the Rhino. We played hard, and even ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere and had to wait for my brother to come rescue us! Haha, but there is something about being in the desert, eating homemade sandwiches and cookies and getting all dusty and being with family that makes for some of the best possible weekends I can imagine!<br />

We had the cutest birthday party for Cammer, and when I was planning his party, I had a few ideas as to what theme I wanted to go with, but I asked for Izzy's opinion, and she said that Cam should have a butterfly party. I didn't think that was too bad of an idea, but made it a little more boyish, and added all other types of creepy crawlies to the invite list, and we had ourselves a bug party. I designed a cute invite, and we had a low key little party with lots of fun buggy food and cute decor. Cam loved all the attention and he especially enjoyed his cake! I'm so happy that we have such good friends and family who all live close enough to come and celebrate with us!<br />

Alex and I celebrated our 7th anniversary just a few days before all this birthday fun, and we enjoyed our traditional melting pot dinner, and then i convinced Alex to come to As You Wish with me, and we painted some ice cream bowl, which is perfect since eating ice cream together is one of our very favorite past times. Something fun that we did while driving around the city, was to listen to all of the songs that remind us of our relationship. It was so fun and all the memories associated with the songs came flooding back and i think it will be a new tradition for our anniversaries!<br />

Cam just gets funnier and funnier. He currently loves to hold everything in his mouth. He will put a toy in his mouth and walk around waving his little arms around and I love it so much. The best is when he finds a slightly deflated ball, and will chomp on that and he just thinks it is the funniest thing, and I would have to agree. He also loves to put his head on the ground and put his bum in the air and just stay like that and laugh at himself. I love it. And I'll never stop loving Cam's open mouth kisses. It's the best thing of my life, and I hope it never stops!<br />

Izzy is my biggest helper, the smartest little person I know, and the sweetest big sister. She is constantly astounding me with her big vocabulary, her amazing memory, and her big heart. She's just beautiful, inside and out, and I'm seriously humbled to be her mom. She's currently OBSESSED with the PJ Masks, but I don't even care, because it's so cute to see her run around and use her super cat speed, and use her owl eyes to find something, and use her super gecko muscles when she opens a heavy door. It makes me smile every time, and I'll be sad when she doesn't yell out "Owlette" and stick a cute pose at random moments throughout the day.<br />

<br />Baseball season started, and no one is more excited that Izzy. She loves to watch the games with us, knows the difference between a ball and a strike, loves to clap and cheer and is the Dbacks biggest fan. We are looking forward to lots of games at the ballpark this year!<br />

We enjoyed Auntie and Papa's birthday weekend, with pedicures with the girls, and movies and eating out and lots of love! It was extra fun because we also were celebrating Easter AND General Conference! Crazy! It was cute to watch Izzy hunt for eggs, she is already asking me if it's going to be Easter again soon because she wants to have more egg hunts. Cam loved all the candy that was lying around and I simply enjoyed all the family time.<br />

I've fallen behind in my posts, but I still wanted to make sure that I was able to fully document Campbell's first year. February was short, but it was chalk full of fun stuff. February weather was GORGEOUS. It finally got a little chilly (for AZ standards at least) and I made it a priority to get outside almost everyday.<br />

Cam was full blown walking at this point and it was really impressive to see him perfect his walking skills at all the different parks on all the different terrains. He loves to climb and it's terrible because he has no fear and will go right to the edge of the play equipment and then when you run towards him just in case he falls, he gets so excited and starts to jump around and almost always will lose his balance and it's so scary, but he hasn't gotten hurt yet!<br />

Alex has had the same car since we met over 8 years ago, and it finally bit the dust, and so we had the fun task of purchasing a new (to us) car! He had a Honda Civic, and it served us well for many years, so we kept it simple and just got a nicer and newer Honda Civic.<br />

Around Valentines we did some fun crafts, and baking. Izzy and Grandma and GG and I decorated cupcakes and Cam reaped the benefits hard core. He stuffed that cupcake is his face as fast as he could, and it was hilarious.<br />

Cam's developed a love for books, and every morning he wants to spend a good 30 minutes on the floor reading and playing with his basket of books. His favorites are any Touch and Feel books, "Peek a Who", "Oh my oh my oh dinosaur", and "Are you my mother?". I love reading to him, and usually I get 10 minutes of snuggle/reading time just with Cam, and then Izzy will wake up, and come in a climb up on my lap as well and we will all snuggle and read, and it's the best way to start my day!<br />

Cam has always been a happy guy, and as he grows, he just gets more and more fun and delightful. He's always smiling and waving his arms around and waving at everyone and laughing and just making my life better. Cam also has perfected the open mouth kiss, and it's one of my favorite milestones. He is extra kissy right when he wakes up, or right before bed, and he will snuggle on my shoulder, and then get up and give a kiss, then lay down and snuggle, then get up and give a kiss. He will do this over and over and over and my heart explodes every time.<br />

Since Cam has been walking, his dance skills have taken off. He loves to bounce around and wave his arms and swings them back and forth, and it happens without fail any time he hears any song with a good beat. I love having dance parties with him and Izzy!<br />

It's crazy that he is One and i'm just in awe of the sweet little boy that he has become!allorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03777641563602063057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068721489136186001.post-90306364627740318522018-02-08T15:47:00.000-08:002018-02-08T15:47:00.487-08:00January Update - Cam Eleven MonthDid January feel insanely long to anyone else? It seemed to just drag on and on and on. We had lots of fun, and took some time to get back into the swing of things after the holidays, but man, it's hard to believe that it's only the 8th of February... But honestly, what's harder to believe is that Campbell will be ONE YEAR OLD in less than a month. January may have seemed long to me, but this first year with Cam has flown by.<br />

We spent lots of time outside this last month, enjoying the unusually warm "winter" weather. Cam loves parks, and can climb up the playground equipment and find his way to a slide and will do that over and over again to his hearts content. The swings are also a hit with Bubba, and I'm happy to report that after only a few bites of sand, he decided that it wasn't for him, and hasn't eaten any since.<br />

We have had lots of other outings, one to Butterfly Wonderland to visit Auntie who works there, and also to the zoo with our church friends. He loves to look at the world around him, and will sit contentedly in his carrier or stroller for the entire afternoon just admiring the trees, animals, flowers, butterflies, and people. He's a social little bug and loves to wave and smile and babble to everyone.<br />

He got a walker for Christmas and has loved zooming around the house with it. It's the most adorable thing, and I love to watch him navigate around obstacles and zip after Izzy all day long. It's helped him a lot and he took his first steps a few weeks ago at Nana's house. He's still a little timid and won't walk without his walker too much, but I think he will be walking full time here really soon.<br />

He has started to show more interest in toys and books and will sit for long periods of time just examining everything. He likes to knock over Izzy's block towers and swipe all the toys off of his shelves. He loves to chase Franklin, and pull himself up on any sturdy surface he can find. He's so busy and full of energy and smiles.<br />

As always, this month was full of belly laughs and slobber and boogers and snuggles and cute siblings and memories and the best of times with the best little boy in the world. I love him so much, and I'm so glad that he is all mine!!!allorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03777641563602063057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068721489136186001.post-29206461455955541252018-01-30T19:34:00.001-08:002018-01-30T19:34:09.279-08:00December Update - Cam Ten MonthPhew! The holidays are over, and we are finally finding our groove again. I've avoided writing this post in hopes that Cam would just stop growing up if I didn't document the milestones... obviously that isn't working, so I am finally buckling down and finishing this post so I can remember how wonderful the holiday season was with two kids.<br />

December was an absolute blast, although I'll admit that it did go by in a bit of a blur. We were really busy, and had something going on almost every single day! But we were still able to have some fun memories as a family. </div>

We loved the temple lights, and loved seeing Campbell be so enamored by all the colors and lights everywhere he looked. Izzy loved seeing the wise men and their camels and the sweet baby Jesus.</div>

The weather is AZ in December is too good to pass up, so we spent a lot of time outside, playing at parks, going on walks, going to Zoolights and enjoying our backyard. Cam isn't so sure he likes the grass, so he and I would mostly play on a blanket with bubbles or a small ball while Iz tore up the playground equipment. </div>

Christmas with two kids was an absolute delight, and I loved seeing the magic through their eyes more than anything. Cam and Izzy both looked so nice in their Christmas Sunday outfits, and it was even more sweet to see them in their Christmas jammies surrounded by wrapping paper and boxes, so excited by all the morning magic.</div>

Campbell is in the current stage of GO! GO! GO! He never holds still, would rather die than let you cuddle with him, and loves emptying toy bins more than actually playing with the toys. He loves to drives cars up and down our hallways, and crawls faster that most kids can run. He would eat constantly if I let him, and loves to drink from a straw.</div>

Cam is a great sleeper, and takes 2 killer naps, and sleeps 13 hours at night. He has a hard time sleeping without his sweetest Pooh Bear blankie though. He loves to dance. He thinks his sister is the funniest person in this world, and adores her more than life itself. </div>

Even though he doesn't like to snuggle, he still is the sweetest baby, and is so easy going. He has a smile and a wave for everyone he meets, and especailly loves Costco trips since he gets to sit next to Izzy, gets free food, and gets smiled at by nearly 378 old people each trip. </div>

November was a bit of a blur, between getting ready for Thanksgiving, practicing for all my holiday concerts, and spending as much time as possible with family, we didn't take many pictures, but had a really great time watching Cam grow and flourish.<br />

Cam is the speediest crawler and gets around the whole house in like 6 seconds flat. He pulls himself up on all the furniture, and pulls toys out and just plays and crawls, and plays and crawls! He does the funniest thing where he will find a toy that perfectly fits in his mouth, and he will keep it there while he crawls around and makes the funniest humming sounds. It cracks me up every time.<br />

Campbell eats EVERYTHING. He basically hates baby purees now, and only accepts the same food that we are eating. He loves noodles, rice, oatmeal, bananas, oranges, quesadillas, toast, eggs, applesauce and anything else we throw at him. He only has hated cottage cheese!<br />

Cam loves music. He loves to play the drums on anything he can, and immediately starts dancing and clapping when he hears music. It's so cute, and I know his love for music will only grow!<br />

Izzy and Cam's love for each other gets stronger and stronger every day. Izzy loves that cam can play with her now and she is really really good at sharing toys and making sure that he never puts any of her tiny toys in his mouth. They are the best and I feel so blessed to be their mom.<br />

Hey, look! This blog is only 1 week late! #killingit I'm really making an effort to be more on top of my life. October was such a blast and also such a blur. I'm astonished that we are already half way through November... WHAT! Where did 2017 go?<br />
<br />
Anyway, we started out the month with lots of play dates and time outside. It wasn't necessarily fall weather yet, but it wasn't sweltering either. Cam and Izzy both love Riverview park, and we spent plenty of nights having picnics and playing on the slides! Both kids also love riding in our little wagon, and we went on lots of morning walks together. Cam sits in his Bumbo and just thinks it's the best thing it the world sitting and riding right by his sister.<br />

Cam can now crawl like a crazy person. He is so fast, and it's hilarious how he chases after what he wants. He can also sit himself up in 2 seconds and Izzy loves having a playmate, even if he mostly just slobbers on everything.<br />

Along with sitting himself up, he has started pulling himself up on things, especially his crib. It startled me when I walked in to find Cam like this:<br />

He thinks he is hilarious, and the funniest part is that he gets up, and it so proud of himself, but then he doesn't know how to move or even get down, so he just gets scared and starts to whimper until someone saves him. I know soon enough he will be walking along every piece of furniture we have, so for now, I kinda love that he's too afraid to move. And hey, maybe it means he will be a cautious little boy.<br />

For my mom's birthday we spend the weekend up in Sedona. We went on a little hike, and spent time in the pool at the condo. We played outside all day and the kids loved all the fun parks. We ate super yummy food and just spent the whole weekend as a family. It was really nice that everyone schedules were free and we all were able to be up there with Mom. I especially loved going on a motorcycle ride with my dad through Oak Canyon! It would have been a perfect weekend, but poor Cam got so sick and it was so hard since we were in such a small condo and we didn't have any medicine or a humidifier, or anything and we had one rough night, and I just knew he would be happier at home. But my amazing parents offered to keep Isabel for the rest of the trip, and she had such a fun time. It was best for all of us since I could give all my attention to poor Cammer, and Izzy wasn't around the sickness. Cam started to feel better once we got home and had his rocking chair, and humidifier and lots of time to snuggle with his mom!<br />

Halloween was a blast and we did tons with the kids. Mom and I took the kids to IHOP for monster pancakes and then we went to Trick or treat on Main Street which is always so fun! Izzy was the sweetest Ariel, and last minute we decided to get Cam a little skeleton costume! We met up with Alex for $3 Chipotle BOOritos, and then headed back to moms to get set up for our annual halloween potluck. We all get together and pass out candy and have yummy treat and just hang out all together in my moms front yard. Both sets of grandparents come, and Izzy has a blast passing out candy. I think she loves that more than trick or treating herself. The best tradition of all though, is getting to ride around on Papa's Rhino to all the best houses in the neighborhood. She loves it so much.<br />

We recovered from Halloween by spending some days at home just hanging out together, and eating as much candy as we could handle.<br />

Cam is at such a fun stage. He is so animated and giggly. He has the funniest laugh where he sounds like a dolphin, and it kills us. Izzy is the one who makes him laugh the most. He claps and plays patty cake and beats his hands on any surface he can reach. He will raise his hands up high in the air when you say "SO BIG!" or when you get the the "Throw it in the oven" part of patty cake. It's hilarious. He is babbling all day long, and mainly says "bababa" or "mamama" it's so fun. We love our sweet boy, and can't believe how big he is getting!<br />

And every month, I am scrambling to upload some content 2 days before it's time for me to write the next blog post. Cam turns 8 months on monday... So I really need to post about month 7. I'll do better next month... maybe...<br />

September was so so fun, but incredibly busy. We started out the month finding out that Alex was going to be switching jobs. For the last 3 years he has been working at General Dynamics in their finance department. That job was a huge blessing, and we loved that he had friday's off! We definitely would have been happy at that job for a long time, with the exception that there wasn't a whole lot of room for growth with that company, and so we were kinda feeling stuck. In an attempt to have some leverage with HR and with talk about a salary bump, Alex starting going to interviews with other companies. Well, he was very well liked at a company called MUFG (Japan's largest bank) and they offered him a position and compensation that GD couldn't even come close to matching. So we sadly said goodbye to fridays off, but said hello to bank holidays and better benefits. It's been a few weeks now, and I really do think that the job switch was a good idea. I'm grateful for Alex and all the hard work he does to provide us with such a wonderful life.<br />

Cam has always been a fun, happy, easy going baby, but this month I feel like his little personality just exploded. He Is so fun to tease and joke around with. He loves peek-a-boo, especially with Izzy, and loves when someone is holding him, and someone else tries to "get him" by chasing him and trying to poke or grab at his little belly; it's the best game. You know he loves someone or something because all his limbs just go crazy. He kicks and flails and squirms around in excitement, and it's the most adorable thing. An especially favorite time for Cam is bath time. The second he touches the water he goes full blown water park mode and kicks and splashes with the intent to soak the entire bathroom. It's hilarious, and obviously encourages Izzy to do the same thing, so don't try and bathe my kids unless you wear your swimsuit.<br />

In his short 7 months on earth, Campbell has done a lot of traveling, and this month he added Orlando to his list of destinations. He was an absolute champion, and I loved every minute with him. He makes everything 100x more fun, and just like with Izzy, I love watching him experience new things and just take in the world around him. He was a trooper and even while cutting his first tooth he was a joy and a delight to have with us. You can read about our whole trip <a href="http://mchardylife.blogspot.com/2017/11/disneyworld-girls-trip-plus-cam-2017.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

When we got home from Orlando, Cam had a few more firsts. He learned his first sign in baby sign language, and can now sign when he wants more of something. It's so adorable, and Izzy just loves asking to say more over and over again. He also loves sitting in the shopping cart, especially at Costco where he can sit next to his favorite person in the world, his sister. He loves getting ogled at by all the old people at the store and I love having his cute face to accessible for kisses!<br />

Right at the end of the month Cam began army crawling with vengeance. He is so fast and can get to anyone or anything that he wants . Izzy thinks it's hilarious and loves trowing toys for Cam to chase after. They play on the floor together all day long and it's the most wonderful thing. I love when babies can crawl and get around, the only bummer is how dirty and dingy they always are while they are constantly rolling around on the floor. Thank goodness for oxyclean.<br />

She said she would take care of the car, condo, and park tickets, and we just had to fly ourselves there, and pay for our food and any souvenirs we wanted. Um okay!! Best deal ever, and I get to spend a ton of time in my most favorite place with some of my most favorite people. Does it get any better than that? Luckily, we also had just enough SouthWest Points to fly Izzy, Cam and I there no problem, which was such a blessing!<br />
<br />
I was a little bit anxious about the flight to Orlando since I had to get my two kids, two carseats, a stroller, a carrier, two carry ons, a diaper bag, a boppy pillow, and my own self onto a plane. But thankfully my sister and my grandma were on our same flight so we had extra hands and we got through security so easily (shoutout to PHX TSA for not sucking that day!). But even luckier than that was the fact that our plane was not full, so Izzy and GG had a row to themselves and Abby and I had our own row and Cam got his own seat! It was so great. Everyone napped, and we had snacks and watched movies and played games. It was not a big deal at all. My mom was on a flight that got her to Orlando a little bit before us, so she just waited at baggage claim and we all met up and were on our merry way. There was a few issues with our car rental and whatnot, but it was all sorted out, even if it was a huge nightmare.<br />

We got to our hotel and had the night and next morning to relax while we waited for my Aunt and cousin to get in, and once they were picked up we were OFF TO DISNEYWORLD!<br />
<br />
My amazing mom had been on top of all the scheduling and knew the best days to do each pack, and had even reserved our fast passes for each day. Our first one was a Character meet up with Tinkerbell, and Izzy was a bit shy and nervous at first, but she warmed right up and they had the cutest interaction. Izzy will still tell you that meeting Tink was her favorite part of the entire trip!<br />

That first day at Magic Kingdom was 100% for Isabel. I let her lead the way and she was the main decision maker. We rode Small World and Tea Cups and Winnie the Pooh. I took her on the carousel and the Ariel Ride and it was so fun because she was tall enough to do all the 40 in hight requirement rides, so we also did Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and The Seven Dwarves Mine Train. The weather was a beast, and it's true what they say about Arizona being a dry heat, and how it's not nearly as bad as places with heat AND humidity. Man, it was in high 80's the entire time we were there, which in AZ is really nice weather. But it was around 75-85 % humidity and it was pretty miserable. We were constantly just wet and sweaty and sticky. Not my favorite. But it was nice that Disney World knows that the humidity is terrible, so a lot of the rides lines are inside in air conditioning which helps immensely. Since we wanted to get to the AC as much as possible, we met more characters than maybe we normally would have. Izzy loved meeting Rapunzel and Tiana. It was so cute, I asked Izzy if she was going to tell Rapunzel about being at Izzy's birthday party and Iz just looked at me kinda confused and said, "No mom, she was just there, she remembers me!" So sweet. I also had an idea that Disney should implement with their character meet ups. Parents should have a way to tell the character something they want them to talk about with their kids. Like you could have Belle tell your girls to make sure they always listen to their mom and do their chores right away. Or when meeting the super heros, have them tell the kids to always be kind to their siblings and not fight. Haha I just feel like kids would really listen to them and the parents could say "Remember what Captain America said! Don't tease your sister!" It's a great idea, I promise. Per the Disney norm, we ate lots of yummy food. Fish and chips, maple popcorn, frozen lemonade, candy corn cotton candy! Our favorite restaurant from our first day was Pecos Bills Tall Tale in and cafe. They had super yummy nachos and all you can eat guacamole and salsa. Plus Izzy wanted a quesadilla, but it wasn't on the menu and when the person taking our order heard that they said that they would talk to the chef and see if they could make her one special- and they totally did. It was so amazing. We stayed at the park riding rides until they were kicking us out, and our car was one of the last in the parking lot. It was an amazing first day.<br />

Sunday morning we just took it easy and slept in since we had had a crazy few days there right in a row. But once we got up and got going, we took a break from Disney and took Izzy to Sea World. She went with my parents when she was 1, and absolutely loved it, so my mom wanted to take her again. This time was no different, she had a wonderful time. We pet the sting rays and watched the amazing dolphin show. We went trick or treating in their kid area, and went in the penguin encounter, which was my favorite! They closed early, but it was just the perfect amount of time for the kids. I was bummed we didn't ride any of their big roller coasters, but I'm glad that the kids had fun!<br />

I was so excited for Monday! ANIMAL KINGDOM! It was brutally hot that day, and it caused dome heated emotions in the morning, but once we got fans, neck towels, and waters in place (I even bought a new, cooler shirt) we were all a bit happier. Again, my mom had planned a great day for us, and we started out at the Lion King show! It was wonderful and funny and Cam and Izzy loved all the music. One thing I love about Animal Kingdom is all their shows. They are all so wonderfully executed and obviously family friendly. Just long enough to feel rested and find refuge from the heat for a while, but not so long that the kids get restless. It's perfect. A top priority for our day was making it to Pandora- The world from Avatar. The wait times for the attractions there were always 90 minutes or more, but we knew that we didn't want to miss it. So we made the trek over to Pandora and Abby, Makalya and Kelly got in line. I stayed with my mom and grandma and the kids and we did some kid friendly activities since Izzy wasn't tall enough for Flight of Passage. Mom joined the others when they were close to the front of the line and after they were done, we did a baby swap and we were able to get on relatively quickly. This ride was by far the best ride I've ever ever been on. I was squealing with delight the whole time, just amazed by the whole thing. It's immersive and incredible and it really does transport you to another world. I did not want it to end, and if time allowed, I would have done it a dozen more times. If you have a chance to go to Disney's Animal Kingdom, absolutely DO NOT miss Flight of Passage. Even if the wait is 2+ hours, it is well worth it.<br />

Tuesday was another low key morning. We slept in and went to the pool at the condo, had lunch and just relaxed because that night was Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! We decided to do a bit of a group theme, and all the adults were Disney Villians. It was fun and really easy, plus we got lots of compliments. Izzy is the sweetest little mermaid, and Cam was just a little hero in training. We were mostly there for the candy- I wasn't trying to win any costume contests. The name of the game in Orlando in September, is staying cool and being comfortable, and that was my main focus for the kids. We love going to Mickeys Halloween party! It's so fun because you get tons of candy, the lines are shorter, so many fun costumes to see, special character meet ups, and fun parades and shows. Izzy loved all the short lines and was so happy that I was constantly letting her run onto every ride she wanted to go on. We even went on small world and we were the only ones in our boat! We met Winnie the Pooh and friends and they were all dressed up in their halloween costumes, which the kids adored. We passed one of the cupcake shops and they were closing for the ngiht and getting rid of all the cupcakes they hadn't sold that day. They stopped Izzy and told her she could have a cupcake if she could sing her favorite Disney song, and without hesitation she starts busting out "Part of your World". It was so cute and she was so proud of that cupcake! It's so nice to be at the parks late, when it's cooler and the crowds are less. When given the chance I will always go to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party. What's better than Disney and Candy? We had a blast and came away with quite a mountain of candy!<br />

On Thursday we woke up to tons of big fluffy clouds and it was legitimately what an answered prayer looks like. It had been so hot and humid the last few days, I was just dying for some shade and a breeze, and that's exactly what we got. It was so amazing. We enjoyed Hollywood studios so much. It was fun to be able to ride Tower of Terror and, my favorite, Toy Story Mania! We also very much enjoyed the Frozen Sing Along. After getting some dinner, we got our seats for Fantasmic, which both of my kids loved. We ended the night early and gave our feet a much needed break and caught up on some sleep before the next two crazy days.<br />

Thursday was so much fun. We were able to have a second full day at Magic Kingdom. And since we had already done quite a few things on our to do list for MK, we were able to slow down and just enjoy the beauty of the park instead of running from thing to thing like crazy people. Well, that's not quite true, we had to literally sprint from the monorail to the very back of the park for our fast pass with Ariel, I'm exhausted just thinking about it. But once that was over, we just had a wonderful day eating yummy food riding all the rides we could manage and best of all, watching the fireworks. The firework show is incredible, Abby and I were both in tears, it's just so magical. They are able to transform the way the castle looks with projectors and lights and it's so cool! My very favorite part of the day though, was when we were waiting for a spot for the fireworks and we had a little over an hour before the show, so Izzy and I went off by ourselves and just had a little Mommy/Daughter time at Disneyworld. Talk about amazing. We just held hands and I followed her lead and we did whatever looks fun to her. We rode teacups and small world and got a soda and it's a memory I will always cherish. I loved being there with her.<br />

Our last park day was Friday. We went to Epcot and we got lucky again with the weather, well sorta. It was nice and overcast and the coolest day by far. We immediately went to Norway to ride the new Frozen ride, which is so cute, and then went next door to meet Anna and Elsa. We were there while the food and wine festival was going on, so we enjoyed the day snacking on treats from around the world, and I couldn't have been happier. Izzy got to ride Soarin' over the World which she liked, but she said it made her dizzy, so I wonder if she is going to easily get motion sick. We enjoyed wondering through the countries but did get caught in a bit of a rain storm. It was pouring down when we were passing through Italy so we decided to stop in a sit down restaurant and enjoy a sit down meal since it was our last day all together. It was a wonderful dinner and a nice break from being rained on. We finished up our tour of the countries and headed home with sore feet but big smiles on our faces.<br />

Our week in Orlando was over, and it was so much fun. It was amazing all the hard work and money that went in to getting everyone there, but oh so worth it. I am so glad our schedules allowed for us to be there and that we were able to make all these memories together.<br />
<br />
The flights home weren't terrible. Even though Orlando's TSA agents SUCK and their security lines SUCK and the SW attendants in orlando SUCK, and I cried like 4 times between checking our bags and getting on our plane. We made it on in one piece and really, and again we were blessed with some extra seats for the kids to stretch out on, and cam slept the ENITRE 5 hour flight! Bless him. Poor kid was cutting teeth the whole week, though you wouldn't know it. He's a champion. It was a whirlwind of a week and it was stressful and hot and sweaty and crazy at times, but I would do it all again in a heartbeat.<br />

Where did summer go? I feel like just a few weeks ago I was partying it up at Lake Powell and planning Izzy's birthday party. But all of a sudden, it's fall and I'm partying it up at halloween parties and planning halloween costumes instead! I'm pretty late in writing this update, but I'm determined to get this blog out before Cam turns 7 months on Saturday!<br />
<br />
August was pretty low key, and since we had a busy July, and a lot going on in September it was nice to just lay low and spend time at home.<br />
<br />
Cam is a full time roller and scootcher now. He immediately rolls to his tummy if given the chance, and explores every inch of whatever surface he is on. He loves to look around at his surroundings, and is very curious. He has been to lots of baseball games in his short little life, but he just becomes more enthralled with all the goings on every time we go. We went as a family a few weeks ago, the kids wore matching shirts, which Izzy thought was the best thing to ever happen. I wish it were easier to match siblings of the opposite sex. Maybe I should start a clothing company....<br />

Cam is a very social bug, and makes friends with everyone he meets. He always has a smile for everyone and if he really likes you, he will kicks his legs and flail his arms in every direction. He laughs at anything and is really good at making you feel like the most amazing person on the planet.<br />

He is such an easy going kid. He was a great little companion on a fun little day trip up north to hike the Tonto Bridge, and loved just being in his carrier, looking around at the world. He will sleep anywhere, although he does prefer a crib. He has a better relationship with his carseat than he did as a newborn, which is very nice.<br />

You should see this kid when he gets in the bath. He splashes and kicks and goes crazy the whole time and basically turns our bathroom into a water park. It's amazing. Izzy thinks this is hilarious and only encourages him. It's my favorite thing!<br />

Campbells favorite person in the whole world is Isabel. He lights up the most when he sees her. They share a very special bond and I just love to watch them interact. Izzy LOVES her brother. She is so kind to him, is so patient with him and thinks he is the handsomest, funniest, chubbiest little bubba! I'm so grateful for their relationship and I can't wait to watch it grow!<br />

Cam started sitting up unassisted. I don't know how he learned it, one day I jokingly sat him up to "practice" and he just never fell over. He loves sitting and playing with toys and watching Izzy dance or sing or do something funny to make him laugh. I love when he sits up too because he is less mobile that way!<br />

Campbell is growing perfectly and he is still the best kid in the world. He is easy going, happy, smiley, sleeps amazingly, loves kisses and cuddles, laughs constantly, eats like a champ, and is the absolute light of our lives.<br />

June was such a blur, and we did so much, it was nice to slow down and unwind a bit in July. We didn't have any big trips planned, but we still had lots of fun! Since it is always so hot in AZ in july, a lot of this month was spent indoors, simply playing at home. Izzy and Cam just love each other so much, as it's something I truly hope continues as they both grow up. I'm close to my siblings, and it's nice to have built in friendships with your siblings. Izzy always wants Campbell as close to her as possible, and Cam doesn't mind at all, he lights up when she is near by, and it's so sweet.<br />

Cam had his 4 month Dr. appointment, and we got some stinky news that he hadn't gained any weight since his 2 month appointment, and that we needed to start supplementing. The same thing happened with Izzy, so I was more emotionally prepared this time, but I was still bummed and felt like a failure. It's frustrating when you do all you can, and your body just won't cooperate or do what it is naturally supposed to do. For about 2 weeks after the appointment, I took fennel, fenugreek, blessed thistle, lots of water, oats, cluster fed, and power pumped, but my supply never grew. I knew Cam would have to be on formula for a while to help him gain weight, so I called it quits on trying to regain my milk supply just a few days before he turned 5 months. I'm SO grateful for formula, you have no idea. And I'm so so happy for the time we did have to breastfeed. Breastfeeding Cam was way easier than it was with Iz. I never had any pain, or bleeding. He always did so well, and I'm happy for the short amount of time I had to exclusively nurse him. He loves his bottles and gets SO excited and grunts and puts his hands straight out trying to grab the bottle as soon as he sees it in your hands. It's hilarious and I love it. Alex and Izzy love being able to easily feed Campbell, and I'm grateful for a happy and healthy baby boy.<br />

We spent some time at the pool, the lake and attended a few more baseball games, since that is what summer is all about! My kids are both so easy going that it makes traveling, and having excursions to the pool or the ball park so easy. I'm glad that they both love getting out of the house as much as thier momma does.<br />

Cam has mastered rolling over, and now he sleeps on his tummy which is great! But the best part is now he LOVES cuddling. He used to hate laying on my chest and letting me just hold him and rock him; he always wanted to face outward. But now that he feels more comfortable on his tummy, he will snuggle all day long and it's the greatest.<br />

The first weekend in august we did have a fun trip planned, and we took the whole family to San Fransisco! I plan to devote a whole blog to that trip, but I just want to reiderate what I said above - MY KIDS ARE FREAKING ROCKSTARS! They did incredibly well on the trip, especially since we had over 12 hours of fight delays combined between the trip there and back... insane. But they did amazing and we all enjoyed the change in scenery and temperatures.<br />

Campbell is the sweetest baby, and I wish I could just bottle up his happiness and giggles and smiles and happy kicks and coos and remember them forever. I love that little boy so much.<br />

I literally don't know how we are already a week into July. It's still May in my brain. But regardless of my internal calendar, I do indeed have a 4 month old baby! I love this stage of babyhood. Cam is just so smiley all the time. His social smiles just do me in, and I feel like he saves the best ones for me (well me and Izzy, I swear he loves her more than he loves me). Campbell is a talker, as long as he is awake, he is cooing and gurgling and jabbering and laughing. Izzy loves to talk back to him, and she talks in the cutest 'mom voice', which she is totally mimicking from me- it's hilarious.<br />

We have had a blast this last month. As soon as we got home from Lake Powell we started using our Ballpark Summer Pass - a ticket that gives you access to all DBacks home games in June and July!!! It has been so stinking fun. It is totally spoiling me, and also convincing me that we need season tickets. It's made a ton more fun since both kids love the ballpark, and our DBacks are KILLING IT this year. I'm calling an Astros v. Dbacks World Series #youhearditherefirst<br />

Along with lots of ballgames, there has also been a lot of swimming. Cam loves the water, and just is so relaxed and loves to float around and will occasionally rapidly kick his legs and splash and smile and laugh. Iz has been loving swimming without floaties, and i'm amazed at how her confidence has grown since doing swim class. I have two summer fishy babies, and I wouldn't want it any other way.<br />

Cam has mastered the art of rolling over. He first went from his back to his tummy on June 16th, and it only took about 3 days until he could roll both ways, starting from his tummy or his back. So now he just rolls and scoots and slides all over the floor, and his crib. Poor thing gets stuck in the slats of his crib all too often now. But he now loves sleeping on his tummy and it's so so cute.<br />

Campbell is a slobbery monster. He isn't teething (that i can tell) but MAN, the drool is strong with this one. His shirts, fists, blankets, and the arms of anyone holding him all constantly sopping wet, and we all tease that it's his way of staying cool in this AZ heat. He may be slobbery, but he's so cute, especially in his little bib-danas that I put him in to try and save his outfits from being soaked.<br />

Just a few days ago we celebrated my birthday, and it was great spending the day with just my little family. I had some alone time in the morning thrift shopping, and then we went to lunch and got sushi, and then took the kids to a movie. After the movie, we went bowling and then dropped both kids with Lorri and Gregor and Alex and I headed to, you guessed it, a baseball game. It was their 4th of July game, so there was a cool t-shirt giveaway, and a huge firework show. It was so fun, we got yummy yummy food, which we don't usually do, and Alex surprised me with a Churro Dog- a long john doughnut, cut like a hotdog bun, and then they fill it with a churro, topped with vanilla frozen yogurt, whipped cream and sprinkles. Totally perfect for a birthday treat! Top the day off with the fact that the DBacks smoked the Rockies, and I'd say it was a pretty excellent day.<br />

Full of adventures, and play dates and time spent enjoying the last bit of cool weather! Cam hit that super fun baby mode. He is cooing and giggling, social smiling, gurgling and is just the happiest most content baby you'll ever meet.<br />

Campbell officially became a thumb sucker this month! It's so cute and so nice that he can soothe himself without help from a paci. I felt so sad for him though because when he was first trying to figure it out, he wasn't (and still isn't to be honest) too coordinated, and he had tons of scratches all over his cheeks from trying to find his mouth.<br />

He is such a chill little guy, and makes it so easy to go out and run errands or take Izzy out on a date, go to the zoo or the botanical gardens! He just sleeps, or hangs out in his carseat, or in the Lillebaby.<br />

We celebrated another Mother's Day, and it was so great, especially with two littles to call me momma! Alex, my dad and my father in law planned a big Mothers Day dinner with both sides of the family, and all the men cooked all the moms dinner and it was a blast! New Mother's Day tradition?!<br />

The very next weekend we had everyone over again to bless Cam. It was low key, we blessed him at home, and the blessing was so sweet. We all felt very loved and supported and I'm grateful for all the family and friends we have in our lives who help raise, nurture, and love our children.<br />

Right after the blessing, my mom, the kids and I packed up and headed to the airport to go to Disneyland for Izzy's birthday! The kiddos did amazing on the flight, and we zonked out at our hotel, ready to hit up Dland bright and early! We had a great hotel that was less that .2 miles from the entrance, and we got through those magical gates right at 9am. We snagged a picture with floral Mickey and then headed to Pooh Bear. Izzy had been to Disneyland 2 times before this, and the chick knew what she wanted to do! I let her lead the way since this trip was 100% for her. We rode Pooh bear 3 times in a row, and then met the characters, which she loved. We rode all the rides she wanted, ate churros and got bubbles. We saw the parade, shopped and even though it was pretty hot and crowded, i'd say we had a great time!<br />

California Adventures was the next day, and it did not disappoint. We got our fast passes for world of color, rode Midway mania at least 4 times, rode Ariel, saw the Frozen show, rode rides in Cars Land, ate yummy new foods and threw a few tantrums for good measure. Even though more tears were shed than I'd like to admit, I'm still so glad we were able to have this last little trip to Disney while Iz was still free!<br />

By the end of the month it was time for the LAKE! Cam is in love with the boat... so long as it's moving! If we are stopped he fusses and cries, but the minute we start driving he is content as can be, and usually ends up taking a nap. We spent a week with my family and cousins on a house boat at Lake Powell and it was a wonderful time, Izzy and cam got non stop attention and love, I got to take naps in the sun, we played endless amounts of Mario Kart on the Wii, we surfed and cliff jumped and explored canyons and ate tasty food! It was so nice to be with family, out of cell phone range, spending time in one of my favorite places on this earth! Big thanks to my mom and dad for arranging the whole thing!<br />

She's a full blown kid, and an incredible one at that. I can hardly believe how smart she is, and her sense of humor gets me every day. She is the kindest kid, is creative, and has the sweetest imagination. I have loved watching her blossom and grow this past year. I'm truly honored to be her mom.<br />
<br />
In honor of her birthday, I want to share my top memories from this past year.<br />
<br />
1. Camping - Last august we went camping with my family, and I loved seeing how adventurous Izzy was. She's not typically super crazy, or wild, but when she is outdoors in the woods, she loves to climb on logs, collect sticks, and ride Papa's Rhino. I loved how she would ask to go "bumpity-bumpity" over and over again, and how she knew that if she wanted to go, she needed to wear her helmet.<br />

2. Meeting Mickey Mouse - I already talked about this experience in another blog post, but to recap, seeing Izzy meet Mickey was just about the best thing I've ever witnessed. I was unsure as to how she would react, but watching her run to him when it was our turn, and hug him so tight and not let go for a solid minute and a half was pretty much the best reaction possible. Our whole first visit to Disney was a magical one, but if all we did was meet Mickey Mouse, I would've been happy, her reaction was just that good.<br />

3. My little travel buddy - I have loved traveling with Iz. She is such a trooper, loves planes, makes friends with everyone, and just makes every trip better because she is there. We went to Denver, Utah, Disneyland (x3), and I'm so so glad Izzy was there with us!<br />

4. Becoming a Big Sister - From the minute we explained to Izzy that she would be getting a baby, she was 100% on board. She had a good understanding as to what was going on, and loved talking to my belly, and giving it kisses any chance she got. I loved how she had randomly nicknamed him Baby Jellyfish McHardy. And then, once Cam was born her true love for being a big sister came out. She gives that little man more kisses, and singing him lullabies, holds his hands, tells him how much she loves him, plays with him, burps him, rocks him, consoles him, and makes him smile and laugh more that anyone else. I absolutely love watching Izzy and Cam's relationship blossom.<br />

5.All her cute words, phrases, and quirks - "waterlemon" "these are the fluffiest clouds i've ever seen!" When she called the Disney Castle a temple. Mixing up 'tomato' and 'potato'. The way she gives us all a 'million kisses'. "lememmade". Her unprompted "I love you"s, and the way she can sign i love you in ASL. Hearing her count and say her colors in Spanish. They way she dances and shakes her little bum. Hearing her sing all the songs, if it's on the radio or frequents our pandora stations, you can bet she knows the words. The way she can negotiate with you about anything "but but but but... how 'bout this....". "SHOCKER". The way she will tell you exactly what to say. "That will be splendid". Her love for Pooh Bear, TinkerBell and Dory. Her love for rainbows. Her obsession with playing "I spy" and how she'll say "nope, that's not what I was thinking about" when you guess it wrong. "Quesadeeda" How she showed people she was two by using her thumb and pointer fingers. When you'd ask her "Do you know what we are gonna do?", and she'd say "YES!" and you'd say "What?" and she'd say "I don't know" with the cutest little shrug. The way she said Gatorade with a looong A sound "Gaaaaatorade". Her love for watching baseball while eating popsicles. Wrapping up random things and giving them to you as a present.<br />

I wish I had a better way of documenting all that she says and does. This blog post seems less than sufficient. I'm missing everything. I'm afraid I will forget what she was like. How smart she was at such a young age, the sound of her voice, her little features. I'm constantly amazed by her. I wish I was a better mom for her, she deserves so much. I look forward to every day I get to spend with her, and I love her more than she will ever ever know.<br />
<br />
Happy Birthday Izzybee, mommy loves you <3<br />

The month started out by taking Cam to his first movie! We went to see Beauty and the Beast with Izzy and Grandma and Brennan. It was SO GOOD. We really really enjoyed it, but I think Cam was a little bored with it since he slept through the whole thing. We hit up the Disney store afterwards, and Grandma bought Cam his first pair of sunglasses. I die from the cuteness.<br />

Izzy started swim class early in April, and we all loved getting out in the mornings, sitting by the water, and cheering on Big Sister. Cam loves being outside. He just stares around and is so content at all times while we are out and about, that is if he isn't sleeping. If he falls asleep in his carseat, and we are out running errands or something, he will literally sleep the entire time. He's a champion, and makes it very easy to get things done and to get out of the house, which Izzy and I both need in order to keep our sanity.<br />

Campbell basically put himself on a sleep-eat-play schedule, and it is wonderful. he started sleeping though the night! A full 12 hours most nights! It's incredible, and the first few times it happened, it was terrifying and painful. I woke up in a panic that something must have gone wrong, and I was super engorged, haha. But, I was very much relieved to find Cam, in his bed, just as content as can be. I thought that his full night sleeping might have been a fluke due to a growth spurt or something, but so far, he has been sleeping from about 7:30-7 am for about 2 weeks now.<br />

A contributing factor to his amazing sleeping habits is the fact that he is, in fact, a thumb sucker. It's by far the cutest thing I've ever seen and I adore it. Talk to me when he is 3, and I might say something else, but for now, it keeps him so happy, and it's just adorable.<br />

We enjoyed Easter as a family of four! We had lots of egg hunts for Izzy and lots of family time and snuggles for Mr. Cam. Izzy is just too good at finding eggs, and loves cracking them open as soon as she gets them in her basket.<br />

It warmed up for a bit and we were able to take Cam on his first trip to the lake! He looked so stinking cute in his little swimsuit, and he didn't even mind the squishy life jacket! We did something a little different this trip, and we found a little sandy shore, and pulled the boat up onto the sand and had a beach picnic. Izzy was able to play in the water, Cam could stretch out on a blanket, and the rest of us just enjoyed the wonderful shade and gentle breezes. It was a blast all being out on the water, and I look forward to many more trips to the lake with my family.<br />

Cam loves play time. Right when he wakes up, I feed him and change his diaper. Then I'll lay him a blanket or his playmat, and he kicks and coos and laughs and smiles and looks around and it's such a highlight to my day. I love to just lay next to him and hold his little hands and talk to him and play with him. I can't get over how happy he is all the time. He is just so content and he brings me so much joy.<br />

I love that he sleeps with his hands above his head. I love how he kinda shouts before he sneezes. I love how much he loves his swing. I love how he looks in a tank top onesie. I love having him "kiss" me when I know he is hungry and I put my lips in front of his. I love how tightly he grips my fingers while he eats. I love how much Izzy loves him. I love him so so so much.<br />

This last month has flown by. I feel like time goes fast with a newborn anyway since they are changing so rapidly, but when you have a toddler also, and your attention is split between two small people, the time seems to go twice as fast. Cam already seems so big, and I feel like I didn't capture enough pictures and videos of him as a tiny little newborn! But ever since I got my new Google Pixel, it's been so nice because I have unlimited photo and video storage so I can record and document as much as I want!</div>

Alex didn't get any real paternity leave, but his new position at work allows him a lot of flexibility and the ability to work from home, which was nice in the early days so I could have him get up and get Izzy dressed and fed, while I slept. Or he would hold Campbell while I showered, and got ready so I could feel more like myself. </div>

I know I talk about how much family support we have, and how nice it is to live so close to everyone, but man, it is even more true after having a new baby. We had so many visitors and helping hands. My mom, sister and grandma would come over and clean my house, and hold Cam, and play with Izzy and let me rest and recover. Friends brought dinner, cleaned my kitchen, folded my laundry and kept me company. My in laws had us over for meals, let us nap, entertained Isabel, and loved on Campbell. I attribute so much of my speedy recovery and happy postpartum attitude to being so close to my family and having such an amazing support system. I'm grateful for all the meals, all the service, and the good relationships I'm able to surround myself with. </div>

I never want to forget how much Izzy loves her little brother. From the second they met, she's been beyond smitten. She will sing him lullabies when he cries, and pat his back when it's time to burp him. She loves to touch noses with him, and say "You're so handsome buddy!", "Look at those big eyes!" "He's so awake mom!" "I love you CamBam!" "Hi Brudder! You're so cute bubba!". She will wrap her arms around his head and say "I'll protect you Brudder!" If she hears even the smallest peep from him, she jumps up and wants to go comfort him and hold him and give him his bink. She loves to lay next to him on his blankets, and hold and 'help' us carry him in is carseat. She will start the music on his swing, and sit and so lovingly just watch him swing. She gets him toys all day long and will say "When he is bigger, he will play with me, and I will give him my toys!" and she always is telling people "my brudder doesn't talk very well! I will have to teach him!" I'm so proud of Izzy and how amazingly she has adapted to the role of big sister. She is so sweet to baby Cam and I just love to watch the two of them together!</div>

We got out of the house quite a bit, and while I have to be more prepared going out with 2 kids, it hasn't been nearly as hard or chaotic as I imagined. We went to the zoo a few times, once with my mom and grandma, and another time with my mom and Hope and Ander. We also had lots of picnics and park days. The weather is just incredible this time of year, and I could not pass up any opportunity to get out and enjoy it. </div>

Baby Cam is a great sleeper, he gives me a good 4.5-5 hr stretch at night, eats for 20 minutes, then sleeps for another 3-4 hours. It's miraculous. He hates his carseat, unless we are driving, and we have to be driving fast. He usually quiets down once we hit 40mph. I tease that he is going to grow up to be a Nascar racer or something cuz he loves being speedy. He loves to be held, and specifically loves the football hold, facing out to look around and see whats going on! He likes our solly wrap and I love it too! I didn't have any type of carrier with Iz, but I'm loving being able to be hands free with Cam. Nursing is going GREAT! We have had absolutely 0 issues - no pain, cracks, bleeding, nothing! His latch is wonderful, and he just guzzles everything down like a champ. He burps easily, and rarely spits up. I can pump, and he will take a bottle no problem, which allows me some freedom and flexibility. We've gotten a couple sleepy laughs and smiles and it's the best, and I can't wait for it to start happening more and more! </div>

It is because of her you are even reading this post! She takes Izzy every Wednesday and spends the whole afternoon with her, and it gives me time to bond with Cam, shower, do chores, or nap and relax and blog! Today I'm choosing to catch in Grey's, and crank out the blog posts!<br />
<br />
So at my last Dr. appointment I was dilated to a 3, and was like 80% effaced, which was more than I expecting! But when Dr. Huff asked if I wanted to schedule an induction, I, without hesitation said YES! We would go in Monday morning at 5 am, and have our baby! I know that there are differing opinions on being induced, but my induction with Isabel was AMAZING, and I had no problem doing it again with Cam.<br />
<br />
Sunday night we spent at my parents, and we left Izzy with them since we would be leaving for the hospital so early the next day. I found it harder than I imagined it being to leave Izzy. I hugged her extra tight, knowing that in 24 hours her world would be completely different - hopefully a good different- but different nonetheless. I cried on the drive home, but knew that she would be okay with my family. Even though I was sad to leave Izzy and demote her from her Single Child status, I was much less anxious and nervous this time around. Before Izzy I was basically sick to my stomach, I barely slept the night before and I needed a blessing from Alex before heading to the hospital. But this time I slept great, and was pretty much just excited to meet my son! Alex woke at 3 am on March 6th, and called the hospital to make sure that there was indeed a room for us, and that we could head down once we were ready. The nurse said that there was a place for us, and so we got up, showered, packed up our last minute things, ate some breakfast, and headed out.<br />
<br />
We did all the boring paperwork, and were admitted into our room. Coincidentally it was the exact same room where I delivered Izzy. I took this to be a very good sign! If my labor and delivery could be anything like it was with Iz, then today was going to be a breeze.<br />

The one thing I'm always the most nervous for is meeting my nurses. I just hope to get someone who will bond with me, have my best interest at heart, and advocate for me! Stephanie was amazing, but sadly would only be my nurse for a few hours before her shift ended. But she got my hooked into my IV's, answered all my questions and was just extremely kind. She checked me and I was still at a 3, but was more effaced and she started me on pitocin to help speed things along. Dr. Huff came in around 6:30 and broke my water and said that he would see me soon, and luckily was just down the hall performing surgeries all day to he would be close when the time came to push.<br />

My mother in law showed up around 7:30 and we just chatted and helped the time pass. This time I spoke up for myself a little more, and asked to be able to get up and labor out of bed. It's really not fun to have contractions while not feeling like you can move around or get into a comfortable position. But I was able to walk around and sit on a birthing ball and this helped me for a while. But by about 9:30 I was ready for my epidural. The anesthesiologist was amazing and we got me all hooked up easy peasy. My thoughts on getting an epidural are - if you know you want one, get one ASAP. I don't need to be in pain any longer than necessary. Modern medicine is amazing and here to help, so I am going to take full advantage. I don't need to be a hero, so the minute I start to feel uncomfortable from contractions, I get my epidural ordered! Yeah it's kinda lame to be stuck in bed at that point, but it't worth it to me to be pain free!<br />
<br />
*To anyone afraid to get an epidural- it is by far the least painful part of labor in my opinion. Getting my IV put in hurts 1000 times worse*<br />

I immediately started to feel relief, and Alex and I took naps! I woke up a few hours later, maybe around 11:30 and my mom and birth photographer Sally had joined the party. We talked and joked and played cards. MY new nurse Ashley came to check me and I was at a 7. Things were moving along just as quickly as they had with Iz. Dr. Huff came to check in on me and said that he'd be surprised if our little man wasn't here by 2pm!<br />
<br />
We passed the time some more by watching some TV, and playing games and then I suddenly began to feel uncomfortable. Even with the epidural I could tell that something was happening, and that my body was getting ready to push. I called in Ashley again, and she lifted my blanket to check me and almost immediately ran back out of the room yelling for Dr. Huff. In an instant my room was filled with nurses and carts and they were warming baby's bed and transforming my bed and I was ready to push! Dr. Huff walked in, slipping his gloves on and had Alex and my mom help hold my legs while I pushed. I had 3 good pushes, no tearing and a tiny episiotomy and Campbell Alan McHardy was born at 1:13pm. Super fast and easy just like his sister, but even better since I had no tearing!<br />

He was so beautiful and I was so filled with love as they placed him on my chest for immediate skin to skin - my favorite! They waiting to do most of his tests, and let us have some time together. Once they went to do his stats I was surprised to find that he was 8 pounds and 10 oz and 21 inches long! Such a big boy! So much bigger than his sister! But he was so healthy and just so content to be held and snuggled.<br />

I could not wait for Izzy to get to the hospital! I knew she would love him so much, and I wasn't wrong! She kept saying "you're so handsome buddy!' over and over. She was a little scared of me, which makes sense since I was all hooked up to IV's and monitors and such, so she didn't really want to sit with me, but I was just happy to have her close. She sat with my mom as she held Cam, and without any prompting from anyone else, started to sing him lullabies and it was just the most magical moment about becoming a mom of two. She sang "Hush little baby don't day a work, Izzy's gonna buy you a mockingbird..." and it was so precious. We were lucky to have lots of loved ones come and visit! My sister was here almost immediately, and my father in law came running in with Jimmy Johns and french fries from Five Guys! My dad came as fast as he could, and it was nice to have everyone there!<br />

I'm so beyond grateful for my Dr. and the Nurses at Banner Baywood. I'm so glad my mom and mother in law could be there, as well as our amazing photographer Sally. (see more of her work and prices <a href="http://www.sallywhettenphotography.com/" target="_blank">here</a>!) I so wish I could go back and have those raw, candid photos from Izzy's birth. I will seriously cherish Cam's birth photos forever. I'm grateful for my loving, incredible, patient, hardworking husband. He is the best dad, and I feel inadequate to be his partner, but grateful that he chose me, and continues to choose me to be his wife, companion and mother to his children. I have no words to describe my love for my daughter, I don't know how we got so lucky to have such a kind, sweet, smart, talented young lady to raise and love, but I'm grateful she is ours. And I am thrilled that Cam chose our family, and I hope to love him and raise him to be kind and gentle and to love his family and God and be a service to all those around him.<br />

<br />
Before I can get to the babymoon though, we have to rewind a little to Christmas. As usual, the holidays were amazing. We were able to spend ample time with both sides of the family, we enjoyed lots of fun Christmas activities, spoiled Izzy rotten, sang in lots of concerts, and celebrated our Savior. Christmas morning was spent with the McHardys, and it was as enjoyable as ever, opening gifts and enjoying the delicious traditional breakfast. I knew there was an extra special present coming from Alex. I didn't know what it was, but he was so excited to give it to me, and made me open it very very last. He handed me a tiny red foil gift bag that was stuffed full of folded papers. Immediately, I figured it was tickets, or reservations somewhere, but I was in disbelief when I unfolded them and saw a plane ticket to Chicago! I opened the next paper, and it was our hotel reservations, and lastly I opened the paper and saw a poster for Hamilton. He had bought me tickets to Hamilton. I obviously cried and honestly couldn't believe it. But it was all true, we had a trip planned for the 3rd week of January. Alex had even called my OB to ask if it was okay for me to travel that late in my pregnancy (I would be 33 weeks when we flew) and planned with my parents to watch Izzy while we were gone. He definitely topped himself this year in the gift department. Good luck ever getting me a gift better than this one, hun.<br />

As if I could become any more obsessed with the musical, I spent the next few weeks before our trip listening to the Hamilton soundtrack on repeat (Izzy may or may not have a large number of the songs memorized...) and watching ALL of the Lin Manuel Miranda interviews on YouTube.<br />
<br />
Side Note - if you haven't heard of this musical, please go look it up, listen to the whole album, then listen to it again, and I guarantee that you will love it!<br />

We flew to Chicago on a Thursday afternoon, and with the time difference got into ChiTown around dinner time. We hopped on a train into the city and had a short walk to our hotel. It was a super memorable walk though because Trump was sworn into office that morning, and the residents of Chicago were not too happy about it. There were some loud, but peaceful, protests going on, and they were marching down the Millenial Mile, all the way to Trump Tower. And lo and behold, our hotel was directly across the street from Trumps hotel, so we basically walked in the protest all the way to drop our bags off. I loved reading everyones signs and seeing how passionate everyone was. It was definitely more fun that we anticipated having on the way to our hotel!<br />

We immediately needed deep dish pizza and found the closest Giordano's and practically ran there (as close as you can get to running while being 33 weeks pregnant!). We ordered our pizza right when we walked in since it talked 45-60 minutes to bake, but enjoyed endless sodas and a delicious cheesy bread appetizer. The pizza is just so good, and the company wasn't bad either, and it was the best way to spend the first night of our babymoon "in the greatest city in the world". (<- Hamilton reference.)<br />

The next morning I was so excited to go eat. Haha, basically the reason for going back to chicago besides Hamilton, was the food. There is just so many amazing places to eat and when you're pregnant, eating is your MO. We got ready, and checked the weather and were shocked to learn that it was going to be GORGEOUS sunny 60 degree day, and was going to actually be warmer that back in Mesa AZ! So crazy! We left our jackets at the hotel and enjoyed the most beautiful day in the city. We started out at Wildberry! Let me tell you, if you find yourself anywhere near Chicago, you absolutely must eat here! The wait is long but it is 1000% worth it. I ordered the eggs benedict and I think to date, it's the best meal I've ever eaten. Alex got a chorizo scramble and their famous Wildberry pancakes, and they did not disappoint. After breakfast we strolled through Millenial Park and took some pictures at the Bean, and again moseyed down the Millenial Mile while the Womans Walk was going on. I loved being there and reading all the creative signs and seeing all these amazing women and men band together to march for something they believe in.<br />

We spend the majority of the afternoon walking through the shops on the MM, and eventually made it to the Lincoln park Zoo. If you know me, you know I love Zoos, and so even though we had come to the zoo last time, I was happy to walk through again. By this point though, my poor pregnant body had had enough walking, so we snagged an Uber home to our hotel and got ready for HAMILTON!<br />

I was beyond giddy at this point, I couldn't believe we were really about to see Hamilton! I probably checked to make sure the tickets were in my purse at least 50 times. We scarfed down some amazing burgers at a fun and weird little diner on the way to the theater, and once we got the the theater, of course we had to wait in line to get a picture in front of the poster.<br />

We got to our seats, and we opened our Playbills, and both Alex and I practically yelled at each other when we read who had recently joined the cast as Aaron Burr. It was none other than the hilarious and amazingly talented Wayne Brady! It was so awesome to have a familiar face on stage! It somehow made it more emotional, almost like I was rooting for a friend and like I had a personal connection to the play!<br />
<br />
The lights dimmed, and the tears almost immediately started to flow. I will never forget the cheers that erupted when Alexander came on stage that first time, or when Angelica is rapping and says that "when I meet Thomas Jefferson, I'mma compel him to include women in the sequel" of the declaration on independence. I loved seeing the relationships evolve in front of me. I had an idea of what happened from listening, practically non stop, to the soundtrack, but there is nothing that compared to watching it all unfold on stage. It was incredibly emotional. And this play, this incredible musical about the man on the $10 bill, has quite literally changed my life. Seeing this play recharged me. Ever since seeing it, I have been hyped, filled with joy, hope, gladness and quite literally my soul has been nourished. It's just incredible was an amazing work of art can do to you. I don't know if I will ever love a show as much as I love Hamilton. And the fact that I was able to see it, with my loving husband makes it that much better. The only problem I have had with seeing Hamilton, is that it isn't just like seeing a movie, where if you love it, you can go again and again. I don't know if/when I'll ever see Hamilton on stage again, and it breaks me a little, but it also makes me cherish my experience in Chicago that much more. I now listen to the music and envision what I saw that day in the PrivateBank Theater, and it's just marvelous.<br />
<br />
After the play, I practically floated home. Alex and I just raved about all of our favorite parts, sang all the songs, obsessed over the actors, and I basically asked if we could extend our trip by a day, and get tickets to Sunday's show! We stopped in at a 7/11 so grab some late night snacks and went home and just enjoyed our Hamilton High.<br />
<br />
Sunday morning, we had to check out of our hotel, but were able to leave our bags, which is so so helpful. We immediately knew that we wanted to eat at Wildberry again, because it was JUST THAT GOOD! Breakfast again was amazing, and we enjoyed everything we ordered.<br />

<br />So after breakfast, the plan was to go uptown a little and watch the Packers/Falcons game at a Packers Bar. we found one near by, but by the time we got there they had reached max capacity, so we were turned away. I was super bummed, and felt bad for dragging us all around the city for no reason. We decided to just head to the airport a few hours early and find a bar in the airport and watch the game there. Not much can stand between me and a football game!<br />
<br />
We checked out the AA lounge once we got through security, and were so happy to see that they had the game on in the lounge, and so that meant, comfy chairs, good sound and UNLIMITED SNACKS and DRINKS! Heck yes! We were able to have free wifi, changing ports and foot and football. it was so relaxing and honestly the perfect way to end our babymoon.<br />
<br />
Shoutout to my mom and dad who watched Iz while we were gone. They always do the funnest things with her while we are gone. This time they took her to the aquarium, and to Disney on Ice! Love them, and are so thankful that they are always so willing to watch izzy for us!<br />

<br />
To start, I found out I was expecting on my 25th birthday. I had been having really strange dreams and just sort of 'felt' it. So even though I had a few more days until I would miss my period, I decided to take a test early that morning. I watched as the lines were forming and for a good 45 seconds, no second line ever showed up. I knew that I had to give the test 2-5 minutes to really get a good reading, so I went back to bed and casually scrolled facebook. I kinda zoned out, and honestly forgot to check the test right away, but a friends post about her pregnancy brought me back, and I snagged the test off of my nightstand. I did a double take. There were 2 lines! I was so giddy and I started to cry. Alex and Iz were still sleeping but I knew I couldn't wait very long to tell them. I came up with a cute little poem and wrapped the test up in some birthday wrapping. When Alex woke up I handed him the gift and said "Happy Birthday!", he was still pretty groggy and kinda confused but I insisted he open the little box. He read the poem and let it all sink in, and then, for some reason, he was super awake after that. Haha, we kissed and exchanged our "I can't believe it"s, and then we had to quickly rush and get ready since we would be meeting up with my family for breakfast.<br />

We told my family and the McHardy's immediately. I also texted Hope and Taylor. It's my personal opinion that I would want a few friends and family to know from the very very beginning, and then that way if something tragic happens and I lose the pregnancy, I have a support system behind me.<br />

Overall, my pregnancies are easy peasy. I am so fortunate to not get sick, although food doesn't always sound great for the first weeks. Sadly this was while we were in Paris, and I wasn't able to fully enjoy the wonderful food, but I can't even complain since it would have been much much worse to be throwing up for 10 days abroad.<br />
<br />
Some other symptoms I experienced this go around was that my body was a lot more sore and tired than it was with Izzy. I was really emotional with Isabel. Crying unexpectedly, getting mad over the wrong kind of taco shell, that kind of thing. But physically, I didn't experience too many aches and pains, I always slept well, and didn't understand the normal complaints from other pregnant friends about achey joints, sore ligaments, and whatnot. But this go around, I haven't really shed one unnecessary tear. I've been level headed, even keeled and an overall an pregnant delight to be around - truly, you can even ask my husband. But my body has been aching since very early on. I had extreme sciatic pain, and lower pelvic pain and unending back pain. Luckily I still have slept really well this pregnancy. One similarity between both pregnancies is the heart burn. So we will have to wait and see if Baby Boy has as much hair as Izzy did.<br />

Naming this baby was the most impossible task. Naming a little girl would have been a breeze. We had like 5 names that we LOVED. But with a boy... yeah no such luck. Sure there are lots of good boy names, but nothing that felt suited our little one. Once we decided on one, it still took a few weeks of playing around with it before it felt really right. But now, we love it so much, and hearing Izzy call my belly by Baby's name is the sweetest. Some of the names we liked but won't be using were - Carson, Jace, Bennett, and Daniel.<br />

I think the absolute best part about this pregnancy has been watching Izzy fall in love with her baby brother. She caught on to the concept really early. She never seemed to question the fact that there was a real little person in my belly. She loved to sing and snuggle and talk to my belly. She would constantly ask me "what's baby brudder sayin?" and i'd have to say something like "He says 'I love you Izzy'" or "He says 'Thanks for the kisses and snuggles'". She loved that. Also I could get her to almost anything by asking her to do it for baby brother. If I ask for a snuggle or a kiss of to take a picture, she might say no. But if I said to come and do those things with baby brother, she'd come running. I cannot wait to see them together. I really think she will be a great big sister. I don't anticipate too much jealousy, but we will see. <br />

I'm grateful for my amazing friends and family that threw the sweetest shower for this little boy. It was themed around "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and everything turned out amazing. We had incredible back drops, cute and yummy food and super fun games. We felt so loved and so supported and I really felt prepared to bring him home to our family after the shower. The bonus was that we used the amazing back drop and incorporated it into his nursery, which I just think is so much fun!<br />

We also are blessed with an amazing friend, who also happens to be a phenomenal photographer! She offered to do our pictures to help widen her portfolio of maternity photos. It was a gorgeous day, and I just felt so beautiful. I had a much bigger bump with this baby, even though I weigh a lot less this time around. I'm glad we have the pictures from each pregnancy to compare and remember the similarities and differences.<br />

We are so excited to become a family of 4! I am interested to see all the similarities between Izzy and Brother. I'm excited to have more baby snuggles, more baby coo's, more cheeks to kiss, more diapers to change, more patience to show and more love to give.<br />

By now, most of my audience reading this blog already know that we have a goal to see a baseball game in every MLB stadium. It's a super fun goal that gets us to explore a bunch of different states that we probably wouldn't visit otherwise. A funny story about this trip too, Alex had originally booked the trip for when the Dbacks we playing the rockies but it was about 10 days before we were planning to leave for Paris, and I just felt overwhelmed by so much traveling so close together, so we cancelled. But we decided to look into going again later in the year, and decided that labor day weekend would be perfect since Alex gets the friday before labor day, and the monday off. We looked up flights and they were dirt cheap with our points, and then just for fun decided to see who the Rockies were gonna be playing, and HURRAY, they were going to be playing the Dbacks again. The beauty of seeing a team that's in the same division as your home team, is that they play each other a ton. We booked it all up so quick! </div>

Our first day we hit up the Denver Zoo, which was really fun. They have lots of exhibits, and they do lots of shows. We saw an elephant show, a sea lion show, and (just for Alex) the llama show :) The weather was really nice and overcast and we had a really fun morning. We went to get lunch before the game and found this gourmet hot dog place, which you know I was pumped about. But these hot dogs were crazy. They were made with all kinds of meats. Alex had a reindeer dog, but they had rattlesnake, pheasant, elk, wild boar, and even bat! I was boring and just got 100% beef, but topped it with caramelized onions and cream cheese and it was so good. We also got deep fried mac n cheese which was to die for.<br />

We got to the game and did our usual walk around the stadium, took some pictures, bought our hats, and a pin and then went up to our seat. Izzy ate a bunch of sunflower seeds, got a soda, and played on the little kids play place. The Dbacks played really well, until about the 7th inning. We were up 7 to 5, but ended up losing 14-7. It was terrible. Hahaha. Oh well. But ti was also at this game that we announced our pregnancy to social media. Announcing to friends and family on Facebook and Instagram is always such a fun part of being pregnant!<br />

The next day we went to the Children's museum and had a blast there. They had a dino exhibit and izzy got to dig for bones which she liked a lot. They also had an awesome water table, and i think Alex enjoyed that just as much as izzy. They had puzzles and arts and crafts and story time and we ended up spending way more time than we thought we would at the museum. </div>

We left and went to the 16th street mall, which is a big out door strip with tons of shops and places to eat. We found a really yummy burger place and it was SO GOOD. They had parmesan truffle fries and I got a chipotle adobo turkey burger. I would go back to Denver just to go to that restaurant. <br />

Sunday was our last day, but we had a late flight, so we were able to take a beautiful drive up mountains. We drove the highest road in america. You go to an altitude of 14,000 ft. and its on this super crazy, stressful road. I was kinda freaking out a little. But the views were gorgeous, and izzy got to eat some snow at the top, which was fun.<br />

I'm grateful for Alex and the hard work he puts in for us to be able to travel so freely, and so inexpensively. I'm glad we have a love for baseball, and a sweet, easy going daughter who is a joy to travel with. </div>

While we were camping a few weekends ago, I was talking about how bummed I was that I was going to miss the Diamond Celebration at Disney, and that I had found out that the Paint the Night Parade was ending with the celebration, and I was really hoping to see it when we go on our family trip to Disney in November. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Well Alex says, "just go and see it.." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Me, "haha, yeah right, that'd be nice."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Alex, "I'm serious, just go for one day to Disney, see the parade and the Diamond Celebration and come home."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Me, not giving it serious thought, "yeah that'd be fun.."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">end of conversation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Fast forward a few days when I get an email saying that I have a hotel reservation at the Hilton Doubletree in Anaheim for the following Sunday and Monday nights. A few moments later I get a call from Alex telling me to go buy my Disney tickets and to see if my mom and Hope want to come with me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He's the best I tell ya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Well of course Mom and Hope were in, and we were all set to leave the next sunday afternoon. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We got the car loaded up and were on the road around 12:30. I knew we probably wouldn't make great time since we had Izzy and Ander who would need lots of breaks. But they both did really great. We took lots of potty breaks for Iz (since we had only been potty training for about 15 days at this point) and she didn't have any accidents! We got into our hotel around 9:00, so it was definitely a longer drive than usual, but I'm just grateful the kids were both decently happy. We all crashed really fast, and I couldn't wait to get to Disney in the morning!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We got to the park right around when it opened, and quickly got situated, and then right when we walked through the main gates, we saw Mickey! We ran and jumped in line, and it was probably the best move we made all day. I figured it would be best to meet the characters first thing, since the kids weren't hungry, hot, or tired yet. Izzy could. not. wait. When I told her it was </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">finally her</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> turn, she RAN into Mickey's arms and just gave him the tightest, sweetest, longest hug. She wouldn't let go for anything! She kissed his nose and just kept saying, Hi Mickey, I love you! I was a puddle. I kept it together pretty well for the pictures and until our turn was over, but then I literally almost had a full ugly cry meltdown. I don't know why I was SO emotional, but I am pregnant, so that can be an excuse right? Haha! I think i was just so happy to see how much she loved it. It made the whole trip worth it, in my opinion.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">After I regained my composure, we decided to go do some rides. All the wait times were super short, so we just walked until we saw something we wanted to do. We did the Tikki Room first. We all got Dole Whips and Izzy loved them. She liked the music in the Tikki Room and still talks about the birds and the pineapple ice cream!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Next we went to Pirates, and I wasn't quite sure how Izzy would like it since it's dark and there is that drop. But she wasn't even really phased. She did say that it was a scary ride, and that it tickled her tummy. But she asked to go again, so I think she liked it. We kept walking towards the back of the park so we could take the kids on Winnie the Pooh. I knew Iz would love that. And boy was I right. She was so excited the whole time, and asked to go again right when we got off. So we went again! And again! She asks to watch the ride on YouTube multiple times a day. Thank goodness for people who have the thought to take their go pro on the rides and let you "ride" it with a first person viewpoint, haha. After a whole lot of Winnie the Pooh, Hope and I ran onto Splash Mountain and mom stayed with the kids while they ate suckers and played in the dirt. Then we did Winnie the Pooh again. Haahaa. I don't think Izzy would have done anything else! But we were ready for lunch so we went and found a shady spot, and got some mac n cheese and sodas and rested our feet. Mom and Hope went on Big Thunder while I stayed with the kids, and then when they were done we rode Dumbo, and the Casey Jr Train. Izzy loved Dumbo, the whole time she was yelling "I"M FLYING!" it was so cuuuute! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">After that, Izzy fell asleep in her stroller and we went and got a seat for Mickey's Soundsational Parade. It was right by Small World, so after the cute parade we jumped on Small World, which both kids loved. We were gonna go try and get on Buzz Lightyear, but it was kinda a long line, and in order to get a good seat for the Paint the Night parade, you have to stake out a spot like 2 hours before, which is annoying, but we did get a good spot right on main street. We put down a blanket we brought, and ate some corn dogs and chilled for a while. Izzy and I went and got some souvenirs, and just wandered around so she didn't get too bored. Poor Ander was having a tough life and had gotten some really bad diaper rash, and he was NOT HAPPY about it. He was bawling and bawling and it was a rough scene. Hope was desperate and sadly, she had to leave before the parade :( But Ander definitely needed some cream on his bum. I felt so sad for Hope and Ander, and that we basically came for the sole purpose of seeing this parade, and they had to miss it! </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sad stuff aside, the parade was freaking awesome. Izzy was wide eyed and smiling and clapping and screaming the whole time! She would yell out who ever was coming next and was just waving at everyone. It was so sweet! I'm really glad we were able to see the parade and the fireworks before they ended.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Mom grabbed a few things on the way out of the park and we hurried as fast as we could to our shuttle so we could get back to hotel and get miss Iz to bed.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It really was a great day, but i've decided, that with two little kids, one day in Disney is NOT ENOUGH! We didn't even ride a fraction of the rides i would have wanted to take izzy on, so thank heavens we are going back in November!</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">I will say though, I'm glad she got a quick taste of Disney and absolutely loved it. She asks a few times a week to go to Disneyland, and she wants to look at all the pictures we took. It makes me excited to go back with Alex and my Mom and Dad in November. I know she won't be scarred of the characters, or rides, and we worked out any bugs on this little trip and now hopefully our next visits will be perfection! </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We were literally dead tired after Disney. We allowed ourselves a sleep in/lazy day. We slept/rested til around 1pm! I can't remember the last time that happened. We headed out and picked up some lunch and ate in the park and then just walked around. Since it was Saturday, the park was so full of activity and Alex caught some Pokemon. I started to feel sick/nauseaous so we ended up just going back up to the room. We watched a movie/slept some more, and really just gave ourselves a break. It was nice since we were in such a nice hotel. The bed was comfy, and the wifi was fast. What else do ya need? :) We headed out again for dinner and to see the Opera House. I finally got myself some French onion soup and Alex tried Foie Gras. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We woke up feeling refreshed and ready to have another busy day. We had to check out of our hotel, and then we grabbed breakfast and went to Notre Dame for 11:30 mass. It was such an interesting experience, and we loved hearing the beautiful choir they had invited from Canada. It was gorgeous. </span><div>

Then continued to the Eiffel Tower. It was about a 3 mile walk! </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We waited in line for our tower tickets for about 45 minutes, but it was perfect timing. We got to the top just as the sun was setting. It was gorgeous. And we got to see the city in the sun light, and all lit up at night. </span></div>

Day 11<br />
<br />
Last full day in Paris. We had to switch hotels again just for one night, but our next hotel was just down the street, so it was a really easy change. We got all of our stuff situated then headed out for lunch. We found a cool pasta place and got it to go. We enjoyed it back in the hotel because, shocker, it was beastly hot. After lunch we did some shopping again, and got some souvenirs, and some delicious pastries, and headed back to the park to people watch, enjoy a soda and let Alex catch some more pokemon.<br />

<br />
The last few days in Paris were super low key, but honestly, it was just what we needed to recharge. Sometimes it's fun to go go go and have your days jam packed full of activities, but when you are both typically busy with work and being a mom, it's nice to just have a few days to relax and unwind together. I feel like Alex and I were able to get exactly the break we were looking for, and while some people may look at our simple days and think how much time we wasted, we wouldn't have changed it for anything.<br />
<br />
Day 12<br />
<br />
Travel day. Not much to report except that in First Class on American Airlines, they give you pajamas.... haha We ate super tasty food, and SO much of it. They literally never stop feeding you on those flights, and it's wonderful and terrible at the same time.<br />

These flights were so fun, and it was great to eat and watch tons of movies, but it was killer to have to wait so long to see Iz. I was so ready to see her, and the time changes and the layovers about did me in.<br />
<br />
She had so much fun with her grandparents and I don't know what we would have done without them. I would have been a nervous wreck otherwise, and I survived off of their letters and texts and facetiming!<br />

All in all, this trip was amazing. The hotels were incredible, the food delicious, and the company was the best I could have hoped for. I'm very grateful for a wonderful and hard working husband who made this whole trip possible. <3<br />

But we finally figured it out, and we got off right in front of our hotel. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We were staying at the Westin right by Tullieres park. It's gorgeous. The lobby was full of Lillies and it smelled incredible. We got cleaned up and went out for a quick dinner, and hurried home to rest up for our full week in Paris!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The best part about having so much time in Paris was that we didn't feel like we had to cram everything into just a few days. So all of our days were pretty laid back, and easy going, but we still felt like we got everything in that we wanted to, and then some! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We started our first full day in Paris by strolling though the alley ways to find a bakery for breakfast. We found one quickly and got some croissants and pan au chocolats, and a few baguette sandwiches for later on. We enjoyed these on the steps of a small church and a crowd of pigeons quickly became our friends. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We then headed across La Seine to get on a river cruise to show us some main sights, and to help us get a general overview of the city. The cruise was fine, a little chilly and surprisingly not too informative. But we still got some lovely pictures and a chance to rest our feet which is always enjoyable when you are logging over 9 miles every day. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We kept meandering up to the Champs-Élysées, poking into some shops and gazing at the Arc de Triomphe. It was stormy and about to rain, so we did a quick Google search and found a theater not too far away showing movies in English with French subtitles. We hopped on the metro and we're headed to see Tarzan. If you haven't seen it, you should go! We liked it a lot. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bastille day! We were anxious to get up and get out to the parade. We had grand plans to beat the crowds and have the best spot of all. Great plan, until we accidentally slept in until 15 minutes before the parade was to begin. We jumped up and hurried out the door and actually made it to a decent spot just a few minutes before everything got started. We didn't have the best view of the marching, but we could see the horses and tanks and planes and hear the band just fine. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We didn't have time for breakfast so we were ravenous for lunch. We found a bakery and grabbed two of the most delicious sandwiches I've ever eaten, and a few pastries, and a Coke Zero and enjoyed a little rest while we ate our lunch. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">After our recharge, we headed out on a long nice walk to Notre Dame to do an audio tour we had downloaded on our phones. It was so fun. I really enjoyed learning about the sculptures on the face of Notre Dame and some history behind it. We wandered the surrounding city and stumbled upon the coolest gelato shop where they scoop your gelato into the shape of a rose. It was so fresh and delicious and we will probably make our way there again before we come home. It was so good. Another fun surprise that we happened to find was a French board game shop. Floor to ceiling was full of amazing games. Alex was in heaven checking at all out. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">It was time to head to our firework watching spot. Alex had read a few blogs about good spots to watch the July 14th fireworks, and it was seriously perfect. We grabbed a picnic of bread, cheese and ham, crackers and some fruit and some apple cider! We munched and people watched and enjoyed the view of the sparkling Eiffel Tower. The fireworks were some of the best I've ever seen, and I'm so glad we were able to experience that. </span></div>

Like one car drove by and these girls faces were literally smashed up against the window. It took 4 trains to come and go before we could finally squeeze into one. Luckily we only have to go 2 stops before transferring so it wasn't too bad. </span></div>

The wait for Indiana Jones was only 5 minutes so we did that first. It's totally different than the ride in California. It's just a crazy intense roller coaster. It rattled our brains a little too much so we headed to Pirates of the Caribbean next. There are two drops on this Pirates and it is so fun. Funny to hear them singing all in French, but just as enjoyable. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We went to fantasyland and rode Small World which was so cute. Alex had never been on that, so it was a fun one to do together. All the wait times for the other fantasyland rides were a bit too long so we went to Tomorrowland. Super short wait for Space mountain, so we did that. It was so much fun, so we did it a second time right away. My hair was crazy so I invested in my first ever pair of Minnie Ears. They even perfectly matched my outfit, which I promise I didn't do on purpose. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We ran right to a Ratatouille ride. The wait was so long, but since there isn't anything like this back home we decided it was worth the wait. And it totally was. It's a fun 4D type roller coaster. Combine the little mermaid ride, soaring over California and Star Tours! It was really cute and we were glad we waited to do it. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Next we practically walked right into Tower of Terror. Just as good as back home! It seriously is the best ride ever. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">On to more new rides. Crush's Coaster! I didn't know what to expect, but it ended up being my favorite ride of the day. You sit in a turtle shell back to back with the other riders so you are all facing out. And you go on a crazy roller coaster and you spin in all directions. I was afraid I'd get too dizzy, but it was so smooth and so fun. I wish we had had time to do it again. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We also did a Toy Story ride that is like the boat ride at Lagoon where you swing back and forth really high. But you are in the RC car riding up and down a race track. It was really fun. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We ran to ToT again and were able to do that right before they kicked us out. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our feet were dead so we hobbled back to the train and made our way back home. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; white-space: pre-wrap;">It was seriously so fun and I'm glad Alex loves me enough to agree to a Disney day while we are on our Europe adventure! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you haven't read up on how my husband and I were able to spend 12 days in Europe for only $100 out of pocket, go read his blog post all about that <a href="http://pointspursuit.blogspot.com/2016/07/londonparis-tripreport-i-wanted-to-do.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We headed to the airport early in the morning, and I cried and cried when I had to say goodbye to Iz. I knew she was in the best hands, and that she was going to have so much fun, but man I was gonna miss her. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We got checked in and through security, then headed to the American lounge to get a bite to eat and a drink before our flight. We were lucky enough to be flying business class the whole way there, so we had priority boarding and meals provided the whole way. We watched some movies, read our books and even played a few card games on the first leg of the trip. We had a quick layover in New York, and then we were off again, headed to London!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; white-space: pre-wrap;">We walked Exhibition Road and found the Hyde Park Chapel. It was so neat! They have a mini visitors center in the lobby of the church, a Christus, some movies on the restoration, history about the church coming to England and lots of other things. We walked around there for a while, talking to the senior missionaries and using the free bathrooms. </span></span></div>

Once we got home we both hopped in the shower to get ready for dinner. We accidentally closed our eyes for a bit, but luckily we didn't sleep for more than about 15 minutes. We enjoyed a little bit of wifi, checking Facebook and whatnot. Then headed out to dinner. </div>

We picked a little Italian place called Bizzaro. The prices were the cheapest we'd seen all day and the atmosphere was amazing. Everyone was authentically Italiano, the pasta was homemade and absolutely delicious. The whole time I just thought about how much my parents would have loved it!! We had every intention of going back again before we left. It was seriously that good. </div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; white-space: pre-wrap;">After church we went and jumped on our Hop on, Hop off bus tour. We mostly stayed on the bus and enjoyed the tour, but after a while the traffic got so bad due to road closures for a sporting event, that we simply got off and walked the rest of the way to Westminster Abbey. It was actually pretty neat that the roads in front of Westminster and Parliament were closed because the whole road was open just to pedestrians. You could stand anywhere for pictures, walk right across the street to look at each side of the river, and didn't have to worry about cars or big buses running you over or getting in your picture. </span></span></div>

We got all of our selfies with Ben, then headed to get some lunch. We just grabbed some quick sandwiches and chips again, and then went to join the queue for the London Eye. We have gotten a discount on our Eye passes when we bought our bus tickets so that was perfect! Our timing was impeccable and the sun burst through the clouds just as we were about to get into our pod. The views were lovely and I'm really glad we went. </div>

After the Eye, we jumped on a river cruise. That was also included with our bus ticket, and it was way more fun than either of us anticipated. Our guide was hilarious and taught us about each different bridge on the Thames, and we got some lovely shots of Tower Bridge. Oh and we won the trivia question about where the London bridge now resides - It's here in Arizona, in case you didn't know ;)</div>

We got off the boat at tower bridge, and enjoyed the long stroll back to the Eye and Parliament. We passed a huge crowd that was blocking almost all of Southbank. And as we approached we noticed they were all watching Murray in the Wimbledon championship. It was awesome cuz we got there just in time for the last match and we were able to watch him win. Extra fun because we also watched him win at Wimbledon a few years ago when we watched at a sports bar in Florida. We must be his good luck charm. </div>

By this point we had walked almost 9 miles that day, and we were both ready to plop on a bus and get home. The bus rides are so nice and we obviously love the free wifi. We got home easily and decided to head out for some dinner. We both wanted to eat in a Pub, so we found a quaint one near our hotel. We found a seat and both ordered the Fish and Chips. Again our luck and our timing was amazing because we didn't even know that the final French/Portugal game was playing, but we were able to watch it and enjoy the local energy. Very fun. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">We accidentally slept in until 9:15 this morning so our morning started out more hectic than we were expecting. We rushed to breakfast and then haphazardly collected our things and ran to the bus, hoping to make it to the changing of the guards at Buckingham. But of course we got on the wrong line and ended up over by Trafalgar Square instead. We figured we can see the guards tomorrow, so we meandered around the square, and then ended up browsing the National Gallery. We determined that we are uncultured swine, as we only recognized 3 artists that were in the Gallery. </span></div>

We emerged from the museum and found blue skies! So instead of getting on another bus we walked to Piccadilly Circus and did a little window shopping. We thought about doing Ripley's Believe it or Not, but tickets were way over priced, so we chose to get back on a bus and head up to St. Paul's Cathedral. The history in that part of town is incredible. From Shakespeare, the great fire of 1666, the bubonic plague, it's certain that London is an incredibly resilient city. We grabbed lunch at a pub that is over 300 years old. We LOVED the atmospheres at the pubs. The haphazardly placed tables and chairs, the low ceilings, friendly staff, and delicious warm food. </div>

After our bellies were full, we put in our headphones and did a Rick Steves guided tour of Fleet Street and the surrounding areas. It was a fun and different way to get around. We even got to see Gingots Wizarding Bank (it's the Australian embassy, but was used as the bank in HP) </div>

It began to rain heavily, so we again found refuge on a double decker bus and rode back to the west side. Once the sun began to peak through again, we hopped off the bus and enjoyed a beautifully long walk along Regent Street and Oxford Circus. We peaked into the Disney store and I cried a little thinking about Izzy and how much she would love it. </div>

We decided to walk the 2 miles home since it was so nice out. Once back at the hotel we took a quick rest, and then headed back out for dinner. Our hotel is surrounded by tons of different choices and tonight we followed our noses to a Malaysian noodle place. I'm grateful that Alex is an adventurous eater and isn't at all picky. We ended the night with some caramel sundaes and a movie back at home. </div>

The skies were blue and the clouds white and fluffy, so instead of taking a bus to Buckingham palace, we decided to walk. It was about 2 miles, but we just strolled through Hyde park. I wish you could smell it. It's so fresh!!! The grass and the trees and the flowers. I just can't get over it. </div>

We got to Buckingham about an hour before the changing of the guards, but we staked out a spot and just enjoyed people watching and resting our feet. The guard ceremony was a bit of a let down, a whole lot of hype, not a whole lot of action. Haha. But still fun. We needed to head back to the hotel, and since we still had blue skies we started the trek home. Bad idea. About 5 minutes into the hour long walk the skies opened and we had a steady heavy rain. We had an umbrella, but still ended up kinda soggy. We can't complain about the rain though, since we were so incredible lucky with our weather so far, and honestly it wouldn't have been a true London experience without a little rain. <br />
<br />
We snarfed down some lunch, and we obviously HAD to go back to the Italian place we went on the first day. And literally what we ordered the first time was SO GOOD that we got exactly the same thing again. And it was just as heavenly as the first time!<br />

This post is way passed due, but I wanted to bust it out, so I could get started on our European trip!<br />
I decided kind of last minute to have a party for Iz. We invited some of her little friends and reserved a ramada at the park. Izzy had recently become obsessed with all things Finding Nemo/Dory, so we did a little Nemo invite, and themed everything accordingly. I think everything turned out so cute, and even though I don't go too crazy with themes or anything (i think it's so silly to spend lots of money on party stuff that is just gonna get thrown away..).<br />

We had her party on thursday, and her actual birthday was on saturday, and so we just spent the whole day with her, doing all the things she loves best. We woke her up with balloons and singing Happy Birthday, which she loved. Then she helped me make pancakes with sprinkles in them, and we sang Happy birthday a few more times and let her blow out her candle a bunch of times.<br />

My best friend Katie was also getting married today! So after breakfast, I was able to go to her sealing, which was so beautiful. She was the most exquisite bride and I am so happy I was able to be there on her special day! After the sealing, we got ready to go and meet up with Grandma and Papa at Joes Farm Grill to get some lunch, and open even more gifts. We then took her to San Tan village and let her run around in the splash pad, and pick out a toy (or two) from the Disney store. We would have spent more times window shopping and just hanging out, but it was a record breaking 120 degrees that day, so it was a much better idea to get home and stay inside.<br />

We went home for a nap, and to just relax and play with toys. It was nice to relax and get out of the heat for a while. We braved the heat again and went to Katie's reception and ate some yummy cake and fun sodas. We ending the night doing one of Izzy's favorite things - swimming. Mark and Hope and Andy came to my parents house and we enjoyed the last few hours of our little loves birthday<br />
