Isabelly's first day of school!

Here's our Isabel! I managed to get her into bed by about 9:30pm (waaay earlier than she usually goes to bed)! She woke up all bright-eyed and excited for her first day of school! I was fine up until her teacher started to take them inside....and from nowhere...my eyes started to well up with tears!!!! He he......I'm happy....but nervous....but luckily our little girl is brave and bold and can handle lots of things on her own! Wheeew! Enjoy the photos!

About to get dressed! Check out the pose.

We're still talking about that.......!

movies.

Derrick and Krystal aka Harry and Helen Tasker from

School Shopping

So today Isabel and I decided to go shopping for school clothes. We ended up at Old Navy. She had sooooooo much fun picking out clothes and trying them on! We got into the dressing room and she told me she was going to do a "Fashion Show" for me. So each time she put on an outfit she walked and did a pose! So cute! I was instructed to clap after each pose.

After the clothes we tried to tackle the school supplies. So off we went to Wal-Mart. But, being that I hadn't done this before.....I forgot the school supply list and Wal-Mart didn't have one of those stations where you could pull the list for the local schools. I decided to wing it anyway......we'll see what's missing!

Isabel is going to model the outfits once again for pictures! I will post them later! Our little girl is now "school-aged"......time goes by sooooooooo fast! She's ready.....but mommy isn't!

Emmy's 29th Birthday Dinner

Here's the Birthday Girl! We celebrated on August 6th but her real birthday is today (August 7th)....HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMY!!! We had a nice family dinner at Bucca di Beppo in Lynnwood....and the food was yummy!

Gabe and Luke! OK......I SUPPOSE Gabriel looks more like Luke (IN THIS PICTURE)!


Krystal and Derrick.....the lovebirds!

Emmy and Isabel. Isabel was so excited that her Auntie Emmy was dressed like her! "We have the same dress on!" she said at the beginning of the evening.....doesn't Emmy look like Pretty woman (remember that brown polk dot dress with the hat and the white gloves?).

I made a recipe scrapbook for Emmy for her birthday. She had been wanting a book of mom's recipes...so I made her one!!!! I'll take photos of the pages and post later.

The first page featured a picture of mom in the center and photos of each of us on each petal.

Emmy and Mom (aka Lady - it's a long story)!

Another sister picture......and Isabel in the background trying to get in the picture....what a ham!

Mom and her girls! Isabel poked her head in this picture too!!!! He he.

Gabriel LOVES ice cream!

The intertwined arm pose.....too cute! Awwwwwww....the lovebirds!

Telus Science World

It was too rainy to go to the zoo :( We ended up at Science World where we learned lots of cool things. The place was full of little game booths (the learning kind), movies, presentations, good food, and a shop. Isabel went crazy going from booth to booth looking at everything. What did we learn??? Well, I learned that there are three kinds of stinky fart gases, when diluted are also present in some perfumes....but I don't remember what the gases are called....I only remembered the funnys stuff!!!!

Isabel on the video wheelchair race game.

Isabel played this video wheelchair race game.......she didn't win....but it was okay.
