Take me out to the ball game for the first time

We got to go and see the Cincinnati Reds play for the first time this season on Friday. It was Izzy's first "proper" game (we took her a couple of years ago when she was a few months old). Somewhere amongst the hotdogs, the peanuts and pop there was a Reds game going on (not shown). We did have a good time even though the Reds couldn't put a win together.







Tiffany's brother Tyler is in town for a few days before he goes off to his summer job. Izzy likes Uncle T.

Easter Eggs

The Easter Bunny brought Izzy a real treat on Easter morning. Somehow Izzy has worked it that the Easter Bunny drops off a little gift or two on Easter morning (I certainly had no such good fortune growing up, this is a tradition that came from Tiffany's side of the family). The Easter bunny was well aware of Isabelle's affection for Dora (and Boots!) and left a Dora the Explorer DVD and Book.



Izzy posing in her Easter Sunday dress (if you're wondering what it reminds you of ... the answer is 'Neapolitan Ice-cream').



The big Easter Egg hunt. What you don't see is the bee-line Izzy made for the trampoline completely ignoring the hidden treats in the garden...



..until she realized they were filled with chocolate.






These Eggs were well hidden in the trees. Fortunately the kids didn't mistake them for Candy Eggs.



A successful Easter Egg hunt.



Checking in with Nana who missed her first Easter Egg hunt with the kids. The kids were filling her in on their finds.

Izzy, cheese, Eva!

Our good family friend Eva posted some pictures over at her blog
Fresh & Vintage Designs (link has audio) that include a few shots of our Izzy. Check it out.

Popcorn Popping...in the store

We were in the store the other day and treated ourselves to some popcorn. As with pretty much everything these days. Izzy took ownership of both the water and the popcorn... Izzy looks way too comfortable here.
