Bunny Bounce

 We attended Bunny Bounce at the Woodland Park Zoo with the Weil's.  It was fun - and the weather even decided to cooperate for us!  Here are few photos from the egg hunt:

Izzy & Avery took a twirl around the May pole

Everyone thinks they're sisters - I wonder why?!

We fed the birds - Jil was the "bird whisperer"

With a little help from Jil, Izzy got the hang of it!

So peaceful!

Happy bird & Happy Izzy!

M & M's

We were in Bremerton the weekend before Easter and we stopped at Walmart.  Izzy found M&M's all over the store and wanted a photo with each one.  Pretty funny!

Izzy & Nick

Izzy spends every-other Friday with my parents in West Seattle.  They live in a wonderful neighborhood and Izzy is like a resident there.  Many Fridays Izzy gets to play with Nicolas & Natalie down the block - I was home early enough one Friday to see them in action.  Here they are riding in Nick's Jeep - they had a blast!

Building

It's funny how many toys that we bought for Izzy when she was little are preferred by her now that she's older.  Here she stacked her duplo blocks taller than herself (while Daddy assembles the marble maze in the background).

Heather's 29th Birthday

Happy belated birthday to my sister Heather!  She turned 29 in March and I haven't updated the blog since then!  Here are a few fun photos from her pottery painting party:

Izzy painted a monkey & a turtle

Heather's butter dish

Kristi's sea-themed tiles

Izzy getting her hand painted for her hand-print plate

Hand prints!

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!

A little post-haircut duck feeding

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!
