Mr. & Ms. Isabela Claus

Isabela has been so much fun! We just can't seem to get enough of this girl! We took a few pics and found a way for her to be Santa, and Mrs. Claus at the same time! We send our Christmas wishes to everyone, with love and smiles for our beautiful daughter.

Santa was missing her glasses... so she decided to steal mom's.
What an honest example Santa is for all young children!

This is one of our favorites... Santa's baby elf.

Chillin in the High Chair

Izzy is so great at posing! She smiles ALL the time and makes the funniest faces with her tongue. Her eyes grow so big whenever she sees shadows, herself in the mirror, puppy dogs, or snow falling from the sky. I can't believe she is so big already.
She loves to wear hats... she hasn't ever pulled off hats or head bands.

Look! I am the new zamboni driver!

Food Sneeze & Aunty Nae

I was feeding Izzy some of the GREATEST FOOD EVER, when she decided to look up and SNEEZE all over me. I love being a mommy!

When Aunty Nae and Beth came to play, we had lots of fun. Then Izzy and Renee took their nap. Renee woke up just as I was about to take the picture, so she is faking sleep for the picture. Two seconds later she burst out laughing so hard, she woke up Izzy Mae.

Brandon's Graduation

Brandon would like to thank everyone for supporting him these many years of "College", he finally did it. What better way to graduate than with a wife and child, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Forster for coming to the ceremony as well as the Hawkes family. We then all went and celebrated Chilean style at "Ya Po" in Logan.

More Thanksgiving pics...

Daddy and Isabela... this is what Daddy looks like after he is stuffed with turkey on Thanksgiving. I think it is naptime.

My New Hobby

Stealing pictures from other people's blogs.... since they have posted pictures of us that I don't have. Thanks Aunt Jenny and Aunt Kimmy.

Dustin's 27th Birthday Party!

What a good wife... making your husband happy on his birthday :)

Sorry you are too old to blow out all of your candles at once...oops!

Grandpa and Grandma with Isabela.

Not quite the first time drinking out of a cup, but she sure does LOVE IT!

Standing Up

I know I will regret saying this, but I cannot wait until Isabela can stand/walk on her own.

She loves standing so much. She fusses sitting down and cries sometimes when she is on her back. But she is as happy as can be when we help her stand up. I can't be with her all the time, so I will be stoked when she can just do it on her own and be happy.

La Monita - Halloween!

1st Snow

Chupon

Isabela is using her toy to hold her binkie in her mouth while she chews on it. Over 3 months of teething, chewing on everything, and not one tooth has broken through yet. We can see that they are close, though.

And with that smile, she gets whatever she wants.
