Goodbye Abbie Foo Foo


On Monday Abbie was diagnosed with Glaucoma and the vet said that she had to have her eye removed. Well, we couldn't afford the cost of the surgery, so I found a woman to take her in, fix her up, and adopt her out. I was going to take Abbie to her on Friday. Well, Abbie must have been much more sick then the vet thought...because she passed away last night. It was a very sad night in our house...but at least I know that she isn't in any more pain and is happy again. Rest in peace, Abbie. I love you!

Baby Girls Birthday Bash




Today was Isabelle LeeAnne's first birthday party. She got all decked out in her cute polka dot dress, dug into her little cake, played with her new toys, including baby dolls and a horsey to ride on, ran around a little and now is crashed from pure exhaustion. (cuddling her bunny of course!) I am now depressed that I no longer have a baby girl....but she is the cutest darn....big little girl there ever was!!! :)

Is it snowing yet????


So one of John's favorite things to do is dig through the shoes...find a pair and try them on. This time he found Sam's winter boots and was proudly walking around in them. What a fashion statement hey???

Train 'em young!!!


Isabelle has started to take an interest in John's talking vacuum. When I was vacuuming this weekend, she was trying to push it around and follow me as I made my way though the house. She even struck a pose with a big smile when mommy brought the camera out. Now....we just have to find her a PINK talking vacuum!! Hmmmmm......my new mission! :)

She survived!!!!

I am pleased to announce that Isabelle's lovey (aka Bunny) survived her first bath. She was covered with chocolate milk, snot, spit, baby food and other things that gave her a nice rainbow coloring. But she ended up coming out bright white again!! What the heck was I thinking giving her a WHITE stuffed animal?????

Cuddle Bug


So John had (and still has) is bibs as his comfort item, and we weren't sure if Isabelle was going to pick up on the habit. Until we noticed her cuddling her bunny when we was in bed one night...and every night when she goes down she goes right for it. And gets SUPER excited whenever she sees her bunny. So Ms. Bunny is Ms. Isabelle's 'lovey'. Already the ears have been gummed and it has been used as a snot rag....I'm sure Ms. Bunny will see many trips to the washing machine! :)

Sesame Street Live





Kelly managed to get us front row tickets to Sesame Street Live, so John, myself, Kelly, Jayden, Jackie and Abbie all headed to the show this afternoon. It was a lot of fun and John was mesmorized for most of the show. Although towards the end, he started to dance around and have a lot of fun. It was especially cool when some of the characters came off the stage and interacted with the audience! my first front row concert....a kids show...I am such a mom!! :)

Happy Halloween!!!



Well...this was the first year we actually ventured out with the little ones and went trick or treating. First we went to go and show our costumes to Grandma and Grandpa Maier. As you can see....John was the Incredible Hulk and Isabelle was a little white kitty. From there we went up our block and hit about 6 houses. And then we headed home. We had exactly 2 trick or treaters come to our house....very disappointing since I had bought 4 bags of candy!!!
