Isabela and the camera

Isabela loves to take pictures with the camera. I delete most of them, although I love pictures of the ceiling, floor, garbage can, bright lights, noses, etc. But I saved just a few...

This one I dedicate to Renee!

And Dillan actually took this one while they were playing.

Yes, she is very infatuated with her dad!

And these are my feet, again, dedicated to Renee (so sorry, no accent on your name).

Abuela

and Papi

Isabela's Birthday!

Her party will come on Saturday, but for her birthday, I decided we would do some of her favorite things...

First, Isabela got to ride the city bus... her favorite thing.

But, then, so did Xander.

She got to ride in the little car...

But then, so did Xander.

She jumped on the trampoline...

and so did Xander.

Isabela went down the slide, and is fearless.

Everyday she asks to see the horses. She LOVES them...

and they loved Xander.

It takes several minutes everyday to get her to leave the grates over the water pipes. She will sit and watch the water all day if you let her.

and best of all... her favorite person/best friend came to visit!! She loves her Grampa and Chaga!

and Chaga loves Xander.

Happy Birthday Isabela!

Our little jailbirds. We couldn't have planned it better. Xander was just 6 weeks old when Lincoln was born. Here, Lincoln is about 3 days old. I can't believe how much bigger Xander has gotten. His head just looks huge. He sure has chunked out. He weighs over 12lbs now.

Then you see them when Lincoln is all stretched out and it doesn't look that much different. They just grow up so fast.

Xander Visits

Xander got to go to Colorado! We saw the whole family and beautiful Aunt Kimmy. Xander was in heaven!

It was great to be able to see Grandpa and Grandma again. It has been awhile. They were able to come up and see Xander just after he came home from the hospital. He was just a little fussy, but felt much better after he ate. :D

And Isabela even gave Grandpa and kiss and hug and said, "I love you."

And I bawled some more...

I took the memory card from my camera to upload pictures onto my blog. To my dismay, the card couldn't be read on my computer. I put it back into the camera. No luck. All of my pictures were GONE! I cried, and then I bawled.

I called Brandon, and bawled some more.

I called my dad, and bawled some more.

Then I called my brother, and bawled some more.

Dustin came and tried to retrieve the images from the card. As we drove to our ward party, Dustin called to say that after lots of tried and using various programs, he couldn't get any pictures off the camera. So as we reached the church parking lot, I let it all out... and bawled some more. I told Brandon, "If I am this upset over pictures of our children (including all of Xander's pictures at birth and first 2 weeks of life), can you imagine how upset I would be if something happened to one of our children, and not just a picture?" Not a happy thought.

After the ward party, we went to Dustin and Kala's to pick up the memory card. After showing me a few pictures he had taken at the hospital, he magically pulled up the pictures from my camera! I wanted to scream at him! But being so excited that he did get the pictures off, I again, bawled some more...
