We had such a fun time with Isabel on her birthday! I really cannot believe she is 8 years old! My, where does the time go? She will be baptized in a few weeks and she is so excited about it!
She wanted a watch for her birthday and a ladybug cake with 8 spots. I think we delivered nicely... She just loves the "peace" sign right now! If we could just get her to channel some of that inner peace towards her brother... Oh, wait...here is some!
The 8 spotted ladybug cake!
Isabel "cha-cha-cha-ing as we sing to her.
Isabel with her ladybug cake made with much love by her Mama!
Make a wish!
Another shot of her cake. I just think it turned out so cute! Don't you?
Here she is with her cousins who came for cake and ice cream!
What is it with boys anyway? I mean do they have to be so boyish? So here's the story...
A few Tuesday's ago, we had the missionaries over for dinner. All was well, the dinner was deliciously sumptuous, if I do say so myself, and then it was time for the favorite dessert of browines and ice cream topped with chocolate sauce. Mmmmmmmmmmm...
So Zaquel decided he was done and jumped down from the table and headed towards the bathroom. I loved his independence or so I thought... Then a few minutes later, during their spiritual message sharing, the missionaries were giggling. Yes, giggling! You see, Jungle Boy and I were facing the missionaries and our backs were toward the hallway. So we said, "Is he naked?" (referring to Zaqel of course) They said "yes" and tried not to laugh. So right as we are turning around Zaquel says, "I have poop on my butt!" We turned around and there was Zaquel bent over with his little bum up in the air and poop all over it! I mean really, boys and poop, I just don't get it! He wasn't trying to be funny, he really needed some help cleaning himself off. I let Jungle Boy do the honors. I know, so nice of me!
By this point, the missionaries were crying because they were laughing so hard! Then a few minutes later, all cleaned up and with only underwear on, Zaquel graces us with his presence once again. He then tells one of the missionaries as he is pointing to his chest, "These are my boobies!" How nice of them to get an anatomy lesson as a trade off for a spiritual one! I tell you, never a dull moment at our house!
SIDE NOTE: The missionaries did say it made their day! They had been in an accident earlier that day and were a bit stressed out. So next time they need enlightening... I am sure they will be right over!
Zaquel loves drumming on the empty cans. No way could he do it on the full ones! We might lose that precious and expensive food!!
ok, this pic says it all doesn't it? Did I mention Briel is in the 101st percentile for weight and the 97th percentile for height? That is how we make um' strong enough to last! You'll be glad to know this is only about 2 months worth of food for the girl!
