Stay tuned for pictures of our carved pumpkins! We picked out a daddy, momma, and baby pumpkin to carve.


The rabbits seemed to be Isabel's favorite. Here she is with Tony looking at them wishing that they would hop a little closer!

Animal Crazy



Isabel loved feeding the goats, donkeys, deer, and chickens. She laughed and giggled at everything. There were 4 week old kittens but we didn't get to hold them. I think she is going to love animals as much as Tony and I do.

Isabel and Gabby, our sweet little pumpkins!

Pinehaven


Isabel, Tony and I met my sister and her family at Pinehaven pumpkin farm on Sunday for some fun. They had many different animals to feed and all kinds of scarecrows and they even have a huge pumpkin launcher that shoots the pumpkins thousands of feet into the air. It was a little chilly but the kids at a blast and it will be even more fun next year when Gabby and Izzy can run around together with Thomas.

Isabel loves being outside and it has been a summer-like week so we have made the most of it!


Daddy and Izzy laying with the doggies watching TV.

Friends



Last weekend we hung out at Jesse and Amy's house on Friday night. Lori, Ryan, and Brady came down for the night too but it got pretty late so the babies didn't get to see each other very much. Here are a few pictures of them playing together.

Inching along


Isabel is really starting to inch along the floor now. She pulls herself with her arms and then pushes so she ends up going backwards. It is really fun to watch her concentrate on every movement. Here is she playing with her toys!

She is such a good driver with her hands at 10 and 2 I hope we can say the same thing 16 years from now!


Here she is feeling the grass and putting her hat in her trunk!

Sweet Sunshine


Isabel and I have been enjoying the beautiful summer like weather the last couple of days. It is so nice to be home in the afternoons with Izzy and the boys, I am so fortunate. We take the boys for long walks and play in the grass. Today we took Isabel's hot pink car out for the first time and she loved it. We went in the grass and around the cul-de-sac a few times. Even though the warm weather has been great we are looking forward to the cool days of fall.

Sky King




Grandpa Don bought a new plane not too long ago and he was kind enough to take me and Gina for a ride in the sky. It was a windy day but beautiful as we were flying right next to the eagles...literally. It is a two-seater but there was plenty of room as we flew over Lake Vermilion about 600 feet in the air. It was a lot of fun and I am hoping to go up with him again this fall to see the changing leaves.

Swimming in Lake Vermilion



Isabel got more than her feet wet in the lake over Labor Day; Tony took her for first swim. There was only one problem...she outgrew her swimsuit... but it was okay because fortunately she had her birthday suit with her, being 1/2 year old and all... her first skinny dip! She loved the water and didn't cry at all even though it was a little chilly.

Grandma Marcia made Isabel a hat for her birthday and Grandpa Don picked out a gift especially for her; a glow worm. She has it in her crib and when I am trying to get her to nap she is memorized by it. Izzy also had her first cracker on her 1/2 birthday and she loved it. She got really mad when she dropped it.



Louis and Ollie had a wonderful time at the lake swimming and running around free for the entire weekend. Louis loves to jump off the dock and Oliver is the offical bird watcher. They both had sore tails and slept for 2 days when we got home!

Labor Day Weekend





We had a busy fun-filled weekend up in Cook over Labor Day. It also happened to be Isabel's 1/2 birthday on August 29th and since she was born on leap day, grandma and grandpa Pascuzzi decided to have a birthday party for her. There was balloons, cake, presents, and food; everything a party should have!
