favorite things...

isa is slightly obsessed with her jumbo word book she got from her cousin emmie. it's the first thing she pulls off of her shelf. she turns the pages, stands on it, sits on it, kisses it, babbles to it. we think she might like it. maybe just a little. thanks baby emmie!

flashback friday...

miss baby at 4 months.

where's goosey?

a birthday party!

isa's first birthday party was this afternoon! it was a very fun time for all involved. there were lots of kids, lots of cupcakes, lots of beer, and lots of fun. we rented a great little pavillion at the park so there was a playground for the big kids and soft grass for the little ones. there was so much going on that we didn't have time for many pictures. but these were cute enough, wouldn't you say? many thanks again to papa bubba and queen for helping up put it all together :-)

Limes! Who knew?

on the previously mentioned trip to jackson, we found ourselves enjoying a margarita in one of the best mexican restaurants. it was a well needed break and quite refreshing. isa found the place to be highly entertaining and she even discovered a new love... limes.

now just to preface this... papa bubba thought it was horrible to let a baby suck on a lime. i think he used the word "cruel" actually. but little did we all know that isa actually loves limes. i mean seriously loves them. after this video was taken, she cruised around in her stroller sucking on her lime for a good half hour. god forbid the mommy actually try to take it away, as she threw a royal fit, right in front of some lovely restaurant patrons. of course, now papa bubba was insisting that she keep the lime. of course.

(another) trip to jackson...

we've found it quite convenient to live so close (er, three hours) to a place like jackson. it's a nice place to take visiting family, as it almost feels like the big city and the drive is spectacular. so there we were, once again, this week. miss baby, the mommy, papa bubba, and queen, took a short trip over to jackson to see the sights, do a little shopping, and celebrate queen's birthday. isa found delight in all of the flashy real estate catalogs and seemed to take a liking to all those bazillion dollar homes. with the median house price in jackson now over a million smackers, we hope she likes figuring out how to become a mogul too :0)
