Conner's 5th Birthday
This weekend was Conner's 5th birthday, Isabelle has been so excited to go to the party all week. The day finally came and she had a great time. I made Conner a Batman cake, and I think it turned out pretty decent. Check out some of the pictures
Frustrating Day
What a day it has been already, and it is only 3:00. I am beginning to think that everyone in my home is against me. I have a 2 year old, there is not much more I have to say than that. I hate our dog with a passion, and I believe that she hates me. Finally my husband loves our dog, therefore completely against me. What to do when you are all alone with no one on your side. Of course there is a story to why I am having a frustrating day and here it is...
Isabelle and I had a lot of errand to do today, we had to go to the cake store, 2 grocery stores, Walgreens, and Target.. This in itself is a lot of ask a toddler to do but she did quite well until lunch at Target. This is where the frustration begins because Isabelle refuses to eat. After pouring squeeze yogurt down her throat and shoving hot dog in her mouth every time she opens it to tell me something, we finally leave. When I get home I have to unload all of the groceries, I put Isabelle on the ground and of course she takes off. I finally manage to rangle her up, get to the door, put some of the groceries on the ground and then Tootise escapes (have I ever mentioned to anyone that I HATE THAT DOG!!). At this point the alarm is going off, Isabelle has disappeared AGAIN, I have my hands full of groceries and then I hear kids screaming!! I yell for Isabelle she has managed to make it into the living room, I turn off the alarm and run outside to find kids screaming as Tootsie is running full force toward them. As much as a can't stand the dog she would never hurt anyone, but as a child seeing a 80lb dog running at you can be a little intimidating. So I yell for Tootsie, as if she would really come to me, and she just keeps running around. Then one of the mothers starts to yell at me, all I want to say to this lady is that I can't stand this dog, I have no control of her so quit getting on to me. I finally manage to get the dogm groceries, and Isabelle in the house. What a cotastrophy, I am sure that was turned out to be a delightful first day of school for the kids as well.
You know this morning Isabelle and I were watching Blue's Clues and they were talking about being frustrated and how you should just breath. Blue's Clues is clearly a bunch of crap, they have no idea what they are talking about!!
Why did no one tell me you need A TON of patience to raise a toddler, don't you people know I have no patience at all!!

Terrible Timing of the Fire Alarm
Dave and I are still in the process of making a baby with no luck yet, but we are currently in our week of prime baby making time. So it all started last night, Dave was pretty excited about our baby making coming up. (Sorry if this is to much for you guys, but we all know what has to be done to get a baby come on!!) So he was anxiously awaiting Isabelle to go to sleep. She finally fell asleep when we start hearing a chirping sound from the monitor. We both ignored it at first then Dave heard it again, and claimed that it maybe coming from Isabelle's room. He went to investigate and came down with a look on his face like, "no baby making for me tonight". Come to find out it was the fire alarm IN ISABELLE'S room that had run out of batteries and was chirping all night. Isabelle had not even budged she was prepared to sleep through the whole thing, so I told Dave he should sleep through it as well. Dave is a pretty light sleeper and there was no way that he could sleep with that chirping going on. This is when Dave proposed the impossible, go in Isabelle's room with a ladder and change the batteries!!
At this point I am in hysterics at the situation and have a feeling that this will never work. But he is my husband so I will support this crazy idea. We go upstairs and Dave decides that he will practice on the alarm in the hall before going into the danger zone (Isabelle's room). He takes the battery out of the hall unit and of course it then starts to chirp. We then take the battery from the hall into Isabelle's room. As I open the door, of course it creaks so I swing it opne fast. The first thing I see is 3 of Isabelle's babies in a row on the floor with their bare bottoms pointed at the door. All I could do was laugh at this already hilarious situation, even though Dave saw no humour in it. We manage to change the battery and Isabelle does not move an inch. As we leave the room high fiving each other we hear a loud crack of thunder, and the look on Dave's face was priceless as he says, "there is no getting around it she is sleeping with us".. LOL Sometimes storms wake up Isabelle. Dave decides to just take the alarm in the hall down that way it does not beep and we can get a battery for it tomorrow. Just as he says, "eww no more beeping", the alarm goes bazerk and is beeping like crazy. I thought Dave was going to throw it down the stairs but instead he runs down the stairs smuthering the thing the whole way.
It was just hilarious that a battery that has been in the smoke detector for over 3 years now pick 11 at night to start going off in the babies room!

Our Last Pool Party of the Season
Papaw and Mamaw had everyone over for what could be the last pool party of the season. At least I am hoping so, I would love some cold weather.. Anyway, here are some of the pictures that Dave and I took. They include Isabelle and Collin playing, and my favorite was Conner doing his version of jumping in the pool. He called it his "new jump", he said his Daddy taught him. (I sure hope that Seth doesn't jump in the pool like this, or the boy has more issues than we thought)
(I am not terribly impressed with this slideshow but I did not feel like recreating it, so sorry)

We have Isabelle working for the $$$
As many of you know our office has been an on/off disaster since we moved into the house. We have finally come to the conclusion that one of the biggest issues is that we have WAY to much furniture in there. So last week Dave and I took out the big executive desk and we are selling it on Craigslist. We kept the credenza, but this gave us the room to make a desk for Isabelle as well. She is always wanting to, "work for the money". So we brought in an old coffee table (AKA Isabelle desk, don't tell her), strung up a keyboard and a mouse for her and now she is working for the money. She was so excited, and now I can get a little (and I do mean a little) work done while she does her art work, and computer work at her desk. She is just so tickled!

Isabelle's Bed
Isabelle needs a new big girl bed soon, and I just saw this one one a commercial for Rooms to Go. I have got to get this for my little princess, I just love it.
Our hotel in San Fransisco
The hotel we stayed at in California was nice, it is called The Orchard. (http://www.theorchardhotel.com/)
Here are a few pictures of the Trolley outside of the hotel, as well as the view from the hotel.
This was a fountain in the lobby and I love the sign that was hanging on the wall in the restaurant inside of the hotel. It didn't really make me one to hurry up and order anything from the kitchen or the bar =)
