Izzy in pink

Oh Izzy Buns, we adore you.
We love your laugh, your crazy hair, your dimple and how your eyes light up when you see us.
And for the record-her hair has no product in it whatsoever.  It just does that every single day.

At the patch

And for a second year in a row, their dreams came true!
We visited our favorite pumpkin patch and rode horses, played in hay and rode in the little cow carts.
And finished the day by getting some delicious apple donuts of course.  

And it's off to First grade!

 Ready to catch the bus.

 With Dad.  Brynn is showing her new backpack for preschool.  Of course it's hot pink. :)

 The four little amigos.  These four are the best of friends.  They play every chance they can, and give a big group hug when they have to part ways.  They live right next door. And we love it.

 I love this shot of Brynn looking at Maya.  Maya + Anabella catch the bus in Jerry and Rose's yard.  It's right across the street.

 Getting on the bus.

Reflections.

Zoe is 2!

 The Birthday Girl!

 Oh, delicious canned frosting!

 Izzy in deep contemplation....

 New book to read with Dad

 Maya, Izzy and Dad

 Most favorite present.

It's always better to open presents just in a diaper.

Zoe's 2nd birthday fell on Labor Day this year. We partied at the lake and then came home for a nice nap.  We made a horse cake, ate way too much frosting and blew out the candles.  It was so funny to hear Maya and Brynn cheer Zoe on as she opened gifts and blew out her candles. 

Some things I love about Zoesy Cat Caboodle:

*When she wakes she shouts "I'm awake Mama!"
*She is the first one to the dinner table, most of the time before dinner is even ready.  She hops up in her chair and sits patiently!
*She loves her blankets.  One of them she stole from Maya, and she is not going to give it up.
*She loves her sisters, following them all around the house, and chasing them. They shout "here comes the big baby!"
*She loves black beans and would eat them at each meal.
*She makes the days happy at our house. 

Love you Zoe!
