Ride the Duck

I had a girls day last weekend at our house, so Izzy and Daddy went to Seattle to "Ride the Duck!"  They had a blast!

Biker Babe

Gerald is dreaming of the day that Izzy gets to ride with him.  He's convinced that 7 years old is the magic number ... we'll see!  In the meantime, she's getting used to sitting on the bike.

Bothell Country Village

We've spent a bit of time at Country Village lately: first to get Izzy's haircut before her big birthday bash, and then for a play date with Pasha!  We love Country Village!!

 

First a Haircut at Bella & Max - she got the pink car!

All cleaned up!  So pretty!

The ducks were really hungry!

Izzy's Three!

Izzy turned 3 on March 6th.  As she told it to anyone who would listen, "she had 4 birthday parties: 1 at school, 1 at Grandma and Grandpa's house, 1 at Chuck-E-Cheese, and 1 on her space ship!"  The space ship one still hasn't happened, but the rest were a ton of fun!

Flower & Garden Show

Izzy and I both attended the flower & garden show this year, but we didn't go together!  I attended with my friend Alecia on Thursday and Izzy went with her Grandma & Grandpa on Friday!  Here are some photos from our fun days:

 The Three Little Pigs Garden was my favorite - check it out!!
