The Hilariousness Never Ends!

When Izzy got home from school today she gave me her homework folder and I found the leftovers of a cut-up piece of paper inside. I asked: "Izzy what's this?" She looked and her eyes grew wide with excitement. "I found this on the floor today and I thought 'Wow, that would make a great wig'!" I busted out laughing, I mean, what can you say to that?

It's shootin' time!

Izzy had Clay helping her look for her silly bands the other day because she couldn't find them. After a while Clay told her that they simply weren't to be found, and she said, "That's okay daddy," She then turned and looked at him, holding her Nerf gun, "because it's shootin' time."

She is so fun. :)

Only my Daughter

Meet Spit. Yes, I said Spit. That is what my daughter decided to name this cute little guinea pig stuffed animal. Only my daughter would come up with something like that. I asked her, "What about Squirt? That sounds nicer." She said. "No, Spit is good." What can you say to that?

Kissel Family, Christmas 2010

Here is our family Christmas picture. It's from when we went to ICE to see the "How the Grinch Stole Christmas' ice sculptures, it was so awesome, not to mention cold (9 degrees to be precise).

I Feel So Loved!

Izzy and I were playing this morning and she suddenly looked at me and smiled then said, "What would I do without you, mommy?"
I nearly cried as my heart went pitter-patter and my love for her swelled within me. "I don't know," I said, "What would I do without you?"
She just smiled. "You wouldn't be able to play with any toys." She said.
I laughed, "Nope, I guess I wouldn't. I'm so glad I have you."
"I'm glad you have me too, mommy, because I love you." She said, smiling even more.
"I love you too, sweetie." I gave her a hug and kiss.
"Let's play now." She said.
"Yes, let's." I said.

Now that I have all of you going 'Awwwwwwwww!' Don't I just have a wonderful little girl? I adore her and am so glad to have her in my life.

Silly? Not Me!

Me: Izzy you're so silly.
Izzy: I'm not silly.
Me: Izzy you're so cute.
Izzy: Yes, that's much better.

Gotta love that girl! :)

Finding the OFF Switch

We went to go visit with some relatives on Clay's dad's side of the family and Izzy got to meet some new cousins. There was a little boy, Ty, who is a year older than Izzy. They were running around having a grand time chasing each other. After awhile Ty comes over to me, looking completely exhausted, and says, "How do you turn her off?" Without missing a beat, I said, "I don't know, but if you find out please tell me." Now, for those of you who have not met Izzy, or don't know her very well, let me help you get a feel for just how busy this little girl is. She has the energy of twelve hyperactive boys hyped up on Mountain Dew. If I could bottle her energy I would be the richest woman in the world. She wears out kids her own age and older or younger all the time. She only has one speed, GO, because the only time she stops is when she falls down from exhaustion or when I make her go to bed, because she'll stay up until she falls asleep standing up. I really wish an off switch could be installed somehow, because I am plumb tuckered out, ALL THE TIME!
