Go Purple!!!

Isabel loves watching the Vikings with her dada and papa. She get so excited every time they raise their voices she runs in front of the TV and yells "Go Purple!!" Too bad they also seem to play at nap time...although it may be a good thing since dada and papa seem to say some bad words sometimes while watching the game!

"I Love Halloween!"

Grandpa Don and Grandma Marcia came into town with a gift of treats and a movie for Izzy. She shared her candy with "Papa Don" of course.

Izzy loves music cards especially when she gets them in the mail. Grandma Jodi and Grandpa Tom sent her a monster music card that she absolutely loved. She would open it and dance all over the house.

Playing with her friends at daycare.

Halloween

Izzy had a party at Rachel's this year for daycare and she also went trick-or-treating to a few of our friends and relatives. She would go right up to the door and say "twicktweet" and walk into people's houses and try to take her shoes off. I had to get clever about hiding her "loot" because she wanted to eat everything that she got immediately. I replaced everything in the bucket with raisins and only gave her one piece of candy a day except on Halloween night she got two. She loved answering the door when we got home and she danced until "she couldn't dance no more" after her sugar fix. She was a giraffe but we thought for the longest time she was a horse so she whinnied and neighed all over. What a fun night!

Whew! What a great trip!

There were so many cool animals at Sea World that we didn't have time to see them all. We looked at the fish through a cool tank that was on all sides, we stopped for an ice cream cone, and then Izzy had to take a nap! She fought it but she was too wore out! What a great day!

We were so lucky because it just so happened to be Sea World's Halloween "Spooktacular" event when we were there and they featured some of the Sesame Street characters. Izzy's favorites are Abby Cadaby and Elmo and Abby was there greeting people! We had to wait in line and I thought Izzy was going to have a major toddler meltdown but she did pretty well yelling above the crowd "HI ABBY!!". When it was our turn, she ran right up to her and gave her a big huge and tried to kiss her. It was all she could talk about all day!

We went to Sea World and a water park another day. Izzy's favorite was Sea World. She loved the dolphin show and when it was over she could hardly clap, all she could say was "more, more!"

Just like "da da"!

Florida

We were invited to go to Florida with Tony's grandparents and parents over MEA break this year. It was Izzy's first time flying and she talked about the "airpane" at daycare everyday before we left. It was a rocky flight there with Izzy getting sick on the plane, but other than that, she did great! She loved swimming in the pools and playing in the fountains. She was wearing 50 proof sunblock but her little Italian skin was tan the first day!
