She's 3 going on 13

Wow- Isabelle is 3! She is growing up to be a little princess. A year ago she was chasing the boys, wrestling and tackling, and standing her ground with fits of rage. Today, she a big girl who is confident that she can do it herself and if she can't she will die trying. She loves her brothers and all of her family so much. I love the way she wraps her arms around my neck when she gives me a big hug and her soft little kisses on the cheek for no reason. She loves to color with markers, eat ice cream, play computer games, and have gum. She has taught herself how to use the potty, the alphabet, and has already started reading some words. Look out world!

Izzy we know you will do great things in your life because you are determined to. We are so proud of you already and love all those precious moments you have given us. You are courageous, smart, beautiful, and caring. It's adorable when you say things like, "Oh look-that's soooo cute" or "we are the girls, right mom?!" or when you pray "please bring my daddy home safely." Your tenacious attitude about getting what you want even when what you want isn't a choice is sometimes cute. For example, I offer you milk or water and without hesitation you say, "juice". We do this a number of times before I say then you get nothing, then finally you chose. It drives me nuts sometimes, but I think it's adorable too. We pray for you daily and ask that Jesus uses your spunkiness for His glory. I can't wait to see how he does that!. Happy Birthday Bear- We love you so much!
