Sebastian, Isa and Daniel Shaver at the Tulsa Aquarium for Sebastian’s birthday. They touched starfish, saw jellyfish and sharks.

They were supposed to be in bed. I was with Eli and Sebastian said he was going to get water for Isa and himself. When I checked on them they were in their closet sipping water from wine glasses.

After seeing the post for Isabella’s birthday, I realized we haven’t posted much in the way of her (or much else) over the past year. We’ll change that by catching up with a few pics/highlights from 2008.

Isabella had a rockin’ party to celebrate her first birthday.

…in attendance were the (in)famous superhero’s the incredibles(grandma), superhero without a name (grandpa),  the white equine (tio Jake), the blue scarob (tio Eric), and others not pictured were the cowboy toothbrush dispenser man (dad), Super brother Sebastian, Tia Jessica, and mom (which decided not to reveal their superheroicness).

Food consisted of spicy hot fajita chicken paired with homemade guacamole, corn chips and a homemade carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting to top off the celebration.

The celebrant ended the soiree with the opening of many lovely gifts, and a little singing and dancing.

Love you so much sweet little girl.

October 21, 2008… another beautiful fall afternoon. Isabella is now a whopping 8 months old. We thought it would be appropriate to go down to the local pumpkin patch to celebrate by posing her and her brother amongst the variety of hay and seasonal gourds.

The princess of the pumpkin patch. (seriously, the cutest baby there, fer reals)

We did everything except paint them orange…

And then there was the horse ride. Sebastian was an old hat at this from the previous year. He showed Isabella how it’s done (nvermind that he got a little anxious at first.) Hola Caballo.

Yeah, a little cowboy, don’t ya think? Then, it was time for Isabella to ride.

Here’s the collage, like the mosaic from the previous year. Horses, pumpkins, little Sebastian and little Isabella.

Sunday night, Isabella is ready for bed. Sebastian is up looking at books (he knows what time it is), being cute and decides holding his baby sister Isabella will get him a few more minutos. The shot, the instance… before he’s trying to lift her up over his head.

Does it get any cuter??

I just can’t believe how fast the last six months have gone by. Our
little girl is growing too fast. Here’s a couple  of pictures I took
today. I love the little dimple on her little chubby cheek, and her
sweet slobbery smile.

Beautiful. Incredible. What could be more Amazing?

We didn’t even have to kinda rush to the hospital, but we did. And good thing, Isabella was born an hour later. No time for IV’s or anything. The pictures tell it all…
