I LOVE this time of year, when all the beautiful flowers bloom. I enjoy taking pictures of them. So here are all the lovely flowers outside our house.
I love this picture of my Izzy, she looks so sweet.
If you keep up with me on Facebook, then you will know about Izzy's little pet snake, Willis. He is a Blind Snake (completely harmless, can't even bite and he eats earthworms, and looks like one too). We found him out in our yard and Izzy wanted to keep him so we let her. She has a little tank with dirt for him (which he burrows in) and we feed him worms we find in the yard every weekend, and keep the dirt moist with a water spritzer.
Izzy LOVES to play with Willis. She is very gentle with him and takes good care of him.
One day, Izzy was playing in her room and I told her I was going to take a shower. When I got out, 10 mins. later, I found her like this in her bed. She was one tuckered out little girl.
Izzy loves to play among the rows of trees in our front yard. She sometimes pretends it's the castle of an evil giant and she is sneaking around, looking for treasure. Such an imagination.
The other day we were over at my parents and I found Izzy just chilling out on the deck eating some string cheese. She would live outside if I let her.
For school she had to make a homemade bubble wand. We took a soda bottle and cut the top portion off. She holds if by the mouth piece, dips the bottom in and blows through it. It works great.
My mom surprised my sister and me by getting each of us the new iPad3! Izzy loves to play on it. I have fun kids games and Dr. Seuss books that read to her on it. Here she is snuggled in my bed, with my sweater on, playing on the iPad. I love my little girl so much. I can't believe how grown-up she has become. I enjoy her so much and cherish all the fun times we share and all the things I am able to teach her. I am grateful to be her mommy.
