Isabelle has BIG news!

She is going to be a BIG SISTER!!! We are all so excited! But the best thing is that Baby Gates is expected to arrive on Isabelle's birthday, April 27! What a great 3rd birthday present! 11 weeks down and only 29 more to go, but who is counting anyway!!!

As you can see Isabelle is already practicing her big sister skills!

If you can't read her tee it says "princess and big sister!"

Life is good with smiles like these!

On another note we all so glad that fall is on its way! Caleb is done with harvest, football season is here and hopefully cooler weather is not too far away! BTW in the picture above I was trying to chase Isabelle down to put her in the bath and she ended up outside! That is why she has NOTHING on!!! These days we blink our eyes and she is gone!!!

Henry, the new turtle & Jake, the new dog

Last Sunday we headed to the camp to let Isabelle play with Pop's new dog Jake, little did we know that we would be coming home with a new pet turtle Henry! BB and Pop found Henry roaming around the camp yard, and rescued him so Isabelle could take him home! While we were at the camp Isabelle insisted on giving Jake a bath to get him all clean!

I don't know a better way to end the day, than relaxing on the couch munching on a big bag of chips with daddy!
