Silly Sleeper

Izze sleeps in the most random ways, it always cracks me up when I check on her to see her position.  She rarely takes naps anymore, so by the time 7:00 rolls around, she is usually pretty tired.  One night both girls were playing on Addie's bed when Addie came running in to tell us that Izze had fallen asleep on her bed while playing Barbies.  Izze also loves to sleep with her toys, sometimes one or two, other times a whole bunch, but they always have to be behind her back! 

Flamingos

Last weekend my sister and part of her family came to visit.  We had a lot of fun going to some parks, eating yummy food, and walking the strip with four kids!

Checking out Lake Las Vegas

Hanging out at The Flamingo

Izze refused to go anywhere near the M&M guy, it was so funny!

Izze also refused to go anywhere near the Coca-Cola Bear, equally as funny!

Hoover Dam

A few weekends ago, Andrew's parents were in town so we ventured out to Hoover Dam.  We took one of the dam tours to see the power plants and then walked across part of the new bridge. 

Red Rock Canyon

A few Saturdays ago we decided to check out Red Rock Canyon, which is only a short drive from our home.  We lucked out because it was free admission to the State Parks that day, yay!  We drove through the canyon and did a short hike.

Izze-isms

Izze is very protective of her toys, and Addie's toys.  She struggles with sharing or not getting her way, hmmm sounds like she's two!  Izze can't handle just having one Barbie, but needs a whole pile.  She is sure to sniff out the Barbies at any one's house and hoard them all, beware!  Izze loves her princesses, especially Belle, Rapunzel, Ariel, or Sleeping "Cutie" (as we call her in our house).   Izze has a mind of her own and she is not afraid to show it, she is very hard to compromise with, it's her way or the highway.  She is a total Mama's girl, she won't leave my side and prefers that I do everything for her.  She comes up with some pretty funny sayings and can be as cute as ever when she wants to be, we love our little Izze and her crazy antics!

Izze loves to play behind this chair with all the dolls, most likely hiding from Addie.

I asked Izze to smile for this picture and this is the result, she really thinks she is smiling!
