Happy Birthday!

More Birthday Cake!!

First Birthday, Continued...

Ok - Here is the Big One -- ONE YEAR OLD!!!

We are such dorks...but we had a GREAT birthday party for Isla -- in attendance:

Mary, Amy, Zander, Joanna, John, Jenny, Nolan, Eric, Cheryl, Evelyn, Nickie, Ella...great time!

Babysat by the Rutlins!!

We took Zander and Jo up on their longstanding offer to watch Isla while we went on a date...so we went and saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D -- I (Dad) am a sucker for Tim Burton -- I, of course, thought the movie was brilliant...but here is a cute pic from Z and Jo's time with Ruskie!

Skunks!!

Both Charlie and Sofia got sprayed by a skunk, WORST.THING.TO.EVER.HAPPEN.TO.A.DOG.EVER!!!! They still smell...here is Dad giving Sofia (who got sprayed twice because she went after the skunk again) a hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, dish detergent bath...

Can I Have a Sip of Coffee Dad?

Kiss Me, I'm Irish...

...sorry, that was SO dorky -- Isla sure is a cutie though on St. Patrick's Day!!!

Isla in Moooootion!!!

Moving so fast, the camera couldn't hold her...she's running and walking all over the house -- when will she walk on her own?!? She's been doing this for a couple months...

Great Pics of Mom and Ruskie!!!!

11 Months!!!

We're BACK!!!

Sorry for the delay, we've been super busy...we'll try to bring you up to speed!! Here is Isla - in her toy box, which she loves taking all of her toys out of and climbing into!!

Ten Months!?!?!?!!!

I can't believe my little lady is ten whole months! She is still army crawling, but pulling herself up onto everything. Unfortunately, the day after this we went to the Dr. where we found she had - RSV, pink eye in both eyes, an ear infection and a real bad diaper rash. Poor thing! You can see her eyes are a bit funny looking, but she's still cute to me!

Baa Bye!!!

Cutie Pa-Tootie!!!

Supporting Brett!

We had our friends Zander and Joanna over for the Vikings game. Now, we are all Packer fans, but we will support Brett every now and then. Here is Isla enjoying the day.

I love this picture!

She loves playing under chairs.....

Getting ready to go sledding with Dad. She did not like this! (Notice she is supporting the Packers)

Parent Child Dedication

We finally made a commitment in front of the church to raise Isla according to God's Principles. We appreciate those that made it up here for it and those that didn't - you didn't miss too much! Here's a couple pictures of our little sweetheart who was babbling, babbling the whole time!

Isla!!!

Despite all the toys she just got, this is how she entertains herself...
