Dad and my brother Mike have decided to run the Walt Disney World Marathon in January. It just happens to fall during out big family trip, so everyone will be there to cheer them on! I’m really excited for them. I designed t-shirts and we’ve ordered one for everyone in the family to wear at the marathon to show our support for them. Here is what the t-shirt design looks like:
The quote on the back says “Run when you can, walk when you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up.”
Poor Isabelle has has one medical issue after another lately, luckily nothing too serious, but still no fun for our little girl. A few weeks ago both her and I had thrush. About a week later she had a really bad diaper rash that required oral antibiotics. A few days after that, both kids got H1N1 (luckily, not too severe, they’re mostly over it now). Then yesterday Isabelle started getting a rash all over her body. Its identical to the one Caleb had when he had an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin he was taking for an ear infection. His rash showed up a week after he started the antibiotic, her rash showed up a week after she started her antibiotics. So I’m assuming that its the same thing, although if it gets worse or doesn’t go away I’ll take her in to see the doctor.
Here is a picture of her spots. Poor girl can’t get a break!
4 years ago we welcomed Caleb into our lives. Wow, its really hard to believe that its been 4 years! Here are a few pictures from his birth-day.
Caleb’s first moments. I love that he kept grabbing his face and crying as if to say “noooo, put me back!”
With Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa and Auntie Em. Everyone else in the room got to hold him before me!
Finally! Meeting mommy.

He was so tiny, but perfect.

I was sitting in a labor and delivery room watching Trading Spouses with a nurse named Kelsey. I was so BORED! :)
For those of you that don’t know- I spent 4 days in the hospital before Caleb was born. My water broke on Nov 1st and despite efforts to induce me, contractions didn’t start until the afternoon of Nov 5th. Lets just say that the birth center is a really boring place when you’re not actually having a baby.
Tonight was Caleb and Isabelle’s birthday party. It was so much fun! All the kids seemed to have a great time and I know Caleb loved having his friends there. Here comes lots of pictures…

Singing Happy Birthday.
She was so careful about everything, just picking frosting off of the top of her cupcake, then later picking it up for a few bites.
The toy Caleb has been asking for for weeks… the gumball machine!!!
Isabelle loves to cuddle with Minnie.
My cupcake creations.
Here are a few pictures from our Halloween celebrations. Friday night we went to Trunk or Treat at Beth and Josh’s ward and tonight we went to the Halloween carnival at our old ward.
Isabelle was dressed as Tinker bell (I made her costume), Bob and Caleb were pirates, I was a witch and Christina was a zombie.
Headed to the carnival

Isabelle attacked this cupcake
Shooting balloons with a nerf gun. This game was awesome!
Isabelle really wanted to get in the bouncy castle. She’s going to have fun at her birthday party next week when she actually gets to go on one!
Sneaky little girl, stealing candy ;)

Enjoying the spoils.
I got new glasses last week. I think they’re fun and stylish :) The best part about them? They cost $13 ! (including shipping)
I got them from this site: http://ZenniOptical.com . Bob is buying a new pair of glasses and I’m getting a pair of prescription sunglasses from there now. They’re really nice, good quality and I just needed my prescription from my eye doctor. Hey, for less than $20 I can get a couple pairs and match my glasses to my outfits or moods. I would never buy leopard print frames before, but if I have an outfit to wear them with, heck yeah I’m gonna get them!
