Isabelle's Ballet Studio

I still can't believe Isabelle is 3. Where did my little baby girl go?

Well her birthday party was so much fun. I decided to go with a ballet theme since she loves her ballet class.

Welcome to Isabelle's Ballet Studio.

I had little wands for all the little ballerinas.

I made my dining room into the ballet studio. I think it turned out pretty cute!!

They love each other.

Isabelle's ballet instructor came over to teach a ballet class. All the little girls looked so cute in their little tutus!!

I think Isabelle really enjoyed it.

Happy Birthday to our beautiful little ballerina!!

Ballet Class

Isabelle has been loving her ballet class. She is the perfect little ballerina!!

Christmas 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! Just way too much food and toys. Santa brought Isabelle a new kitchen and a cute little kitty and Bronson got a home depot workbench with all of the tools. They were definitely on the nice list!! Love this picture!!
Waiting patiently to open gifts.

Baking Cookies

We decided to bake some cookies yesterday. My two little helpers really enjoyed it. Bronson was having fun stirring the flour. Very messy, but it was fun. He was also our little taste tester. We made Gingerbread Christmas Trees, I think they turned out cute!!

Carter, Isabelle, Coen & Bronson

While we were visiting, we got a chance to have some photos taken of everyone. It was very hard to get a good picture of everyone. But here are a few of my favorites of the kids. They are just so cute~

Breakfast with Santa & Mrs. Claus

They were both so excited to see Santa this year.

This is the first year that little Miss Isabelle didn't cry when she saw Santa Claus. She actually greeted him with a hug and she asked Santa for a kitty cat for Christmas. Bronson looked handsome as always and just sat with Santa. I think he was more amused with the carolers.
I am so excited for Christmas morning!!

Our little Artist

Look at this amazing artwork.

I took the kids to the discovery museum and there is a spot where the kids can paint and color on the window. I was watching Isabelle and this is what she drew. I think it is really good!!

Amazing!!

So I am truly amazed with my little Bronson. Whenever I take Isabelle to the bathroom Bronson goes with us, he started showing interest in the potty so I started sitting him on it and he would go pee pee. Well last week I was sitting on the couch and he came up and said " Mama poo poo." He grabbed my finger and took me to the bathroom, so I put him on the potty and he went. Yes, at 17 months old he went poo poo on the potty. Sooooo Amazing!! Of course, I had to call everyone and tell them. Well I truly thought it was a one time thing just because he still is my little baby, but he keeps doing it. The other night during dinner he kept saying poo poo. So I took him and he amazed me once again. We just need to work on him telling me he needs to pee pee and maybe sooner then I thought I will have two potty trained kids. I am not sure I would know what to do, as crazy as it sounds I might miss having to change diapers.

Go Bronson!!

Taking our babies for a walk

More from our visit

We went over to Auntie Lindsey's house and the kids loved playing with their dogs, especially Big J.

This is where Bronson learned to say "Hi puppy."

Even this morning when he woke up he was rolling around his crib just saying puppy.

He is silly!!

This is such a great picture!!

Then we stopped at this wonderful little ice cream shop. We had a wonderful trip!!

Happy Halloween!!

Roloff Farm Pumpkin Patch

We were so excited to go the "Little People, Big World" pumpkin patch this year. I think it was one of the best pumpkin patches that we have been to.

All the kids got cute little pumpkins painted on their faces.

Bronson really enjoyed spending some time with Uncle Matt. So very sweet!!

Everywhere that Carter and Isabelle went they were holding hands. They are truly so cute!! Isabelle really loves her cousin Carter!!
There were even pony rides there. Carter and Isabelle did wonderful!!
I think she needs her own little pony.

4 Children all under the age of 3 in 1 house

This past week we went up to Washington to visit and we had so much fun. The kids played and played and played some more. I truly think it was only quiet in that house when it was nap time. As crazy as it was at moments, it was so wonderful to see them play together!! We can't wait for the next visit!!

She did it!!

I have been waiting for awhile to post this. We started the whole potty training thing back in the beginning of September. I use to always randomly try to get her to go on the potty, but it was very rare for her to actually go. Then one day I decided to give it another try and she was ready. We bought this little sticker chart and she just loved being able to put stickers on it every time she went. There were still a few accidents here and there though. Then our family got hit with the stomach bug that lasted about 4 weeks, so that set us back for awhile. Finally after we were all better, it was back to potty training. TJ and I could not decide when we should consider her to be actually potty trained. She has not even worn a pull up for quite some time now, just her cute big girl panties. After discussing it for awhile, we realized that she has not had an accident for weeks now. So I guess, She is officially potty trained. I am so proud of her, she is truly just amazing!!

Keeping up with big sister

Isabelle and Bronson have been having so much fun together. Bronson has reached that age that he just wants to play and do everything Isabelle is doing. It is really cute!!

15 Month Check-up

My little big guy!! Yes, he is in the 50 percentile for his height, but only in the 3rd for is weight. He is weighing in at 19.12 pounds and 30 inches tall. I do think he lost some weight from being sick though. He even was a little trooper with his shots, sick and all.
