Thanksgiving!-

Here are a few of our thanksgiving pictures. It makes me sad to look at these pictures of Izybel because she doesn't look like a baby anymore....she looks like such a big girl.
Atleast we are more then half way done for baby number 2!! I swear pregnancy is the longest 9 months ever...I forgot how miserable and uncomftorable being pregnant really was...oh well, it's all worth it in the end though...right!?!....and we had a couple more U/S the past month and are now having a baby girl!! I couldn't be more excited for Izybel to have a baby sister, and plus girls are better. Cody was a little depressed but got over it, he's just going to have to deal with all us girls. We can't wait for this little one to get here.

Fall

I can't believe that Fall time is already here. It just seems like this year has flown by. It's crazy for me to think that I have a 2 year old now too. It makes me sad to think 2 years have already gone by and I feel like I just had her. Izybel had such a good Birthday, other then she had ear aches. We had family over and had a pizza party and cupcakes. And she was spoiled as always. Izybel is at such a fun age. It seems like she learns new things everyday. She is really good at talking and learns new things to say everyday. We have to be careful what we say around her too, because she's really quick at picking things up we've learned.
Other exciting things that have happened is that we're expecting another baby, and this one's a BOY! I'm a little nervous about having a boy, but Cody is thrilled! Izybel doesn't fully understand the concept of it...she thinks she has a baby in her belly too. It'll be a big adjustment having 2 kids, but I'm sure I'll love it. Now if March would just hurry up and get here already.

Summer Fun-

This summer we've beem up to alot. It seems like every single weekend we're gone doing something fun. I guess I'd rather be out in the sun then being cooped up in the hot house. At the end of June it was the BIg Talbot family reunion. We went there for a couple nights and camped. I'm not a big camper, I actually HATE it, but Cody loves it and I knew that Izybel would enjoy getting to be outdoors all day. So, I took one for the team and we went camping. The day after we got back Hailey and I decided to take Nash and Izybel to the zoo. Then, the weekend after that was the fourth. We went to the Idaho Falls fireworks where my dad had a few rooms and we stayed there overnight. It was a nice day and we had fun walking around and sitting up on our balcony. The weekend after that we had a good ol' Murdoch family Vaca. We just went up to Lagoon and stayed there a couple nights. My dad got an RV and we stayed in it. We had a blast and Izybel really suprised me by liking alot of the rides there. She's a scardy cat so I thought she'd hate them. We rode the meri-go-round(is that how you spell it) like 10+ times. We also went to Lagoona beach which was really fun too. I'm sure that we will do alot more fun things this summer too. I can't believe that it is already half over this year has seemed like it has flown by, and that Izybel will be 2 in October. We've started potty training and timeouts....more to come-

I seriously can't get enough of this little girl. My life wouldn't be the same without little Miss Izybel. I love her SOOOO much. She makes me laugh and smile everyday. She's at the age of really starting to like girly things and I love it. She loves shoes, babies, clothes, makeup, bows, jewlery....and I wouldn't have it any other way.-

We are so glad that it's finally nice and warm outside....We've been waiting for it to warm up so we could get outside to play. Izybel LOVES it outside. That's all she ever wants to do, she would probably live out there if she could. So, when we're home we're always outside, we have to bribe her to get her inside. She's also a HUGE animal lover. We have a three kittens(we had four by Izybel drowned one) and two scottish terriers and she packs them around like they're her babies. We also have horses at our house right now and it scares me to death because Izybel will just walk right out into the pasture to see them. I'm sure that Izybel and I will get quite the tan this summer!!:)

On the Mend-

Last week was one long long week for me....Izybel wasn't feeling well all week. At the begenning of the week I didn't really think anything of her runny nose or cranky attitude. It seems like ever since we've opened the daycare she's had a runny nose and she's always had an attitude. On Monday Hailey took Nash to the Dr. because he wasn't feeling well and he ended up having pneumonia...so this kind have scared me....and Izybel just kept seeming like she was getting worst and worst, and she was already on an antibiotic for a double ear infection. I knew Hailey was going out of town so I decided I just better take her in to get looked at since I wouldn't have time the rest of the week (and the night before she whined all night)
So, on Wednesday morning I took her to the doctor and she was not happy about it. She hates going there being messed with and stuff. They listened to her lungs and said they didn't sound too good and that her ears had gotten worst and they thought she might have RSV. I couldn't beleive it....I wasn't thinking that she would have that...just a bad cold or something. They brought me a machine for breathing treatments to clear out the gunk in her lungs and gave her a big ol' shot! I was near tears with her too.I hate seeing her have to go through that. During her breathing treatement they brought in the RSV test, I was just thinking like a swab of the throat...oh no....They bring in this syringe with a tube hooked on it that they stick clear up her nose, it was awful, but fast, thank goodness. The test came back positive and I knew it was going to be a long few days.
We decided that we better shut down the daycare. Hailey was going out of town, Izybel had RSV...our worker was out of town...and all the kids seemed like they were pretty sick there too, so we let the air clear there for a few days. Izybel and I stayed home those whole four days, not going anywhere. I found out that I could never be a stay at home mom. I was going NUTS! I just needed to get out, but I knew Izybel was very contagious and needed those four days to just stay home and not be near any germs. So, Izybel and I played, cleaned, cooked, and watched movies over and over again. I think that we were both glad to get out of the house today. And she seems like she is doing tons better.







The day I took her to the doctor, you can just tell she looks sick-



riding her pony

This is her 100th time destroying her room....I picked it up over and over again

Looks like she's plotting her next plan of attack

This is Izybel today....I think she was as happy as me to get out of the house
