Field Trip

Isabella's class went to the zoo on a field trip. Mommy was able to go along as chaperone and the girls had a TON of fun together!

The butterfly exhibit was Isabella's favorite. She was able to catch several butterflies and share them with her friends that were in our group.

Isabella's first catch. She was SO, SO proud and happy that she caught one!

How fitting that Mommy is the caterpillar and Izzy is the beautiful butterfly!!

My beautiful butterfly!!

Girls Day!!

Friends on the lions.

Isabella was so excited to get to feed the birds. They were fighting over the nectar.


My fearless explorer. LOVE that girl!!

New Addition

It finally happened. Isabella had been asking for a dog for almost two years. We finally decided that it was a good time so we went to the Humane Society. We saw Zandy online before we got there and thought she was really cute. After we interacted with her we all thought she was great and it was decided. The kids are thrilled, especially Izzy! She gives her water and food and all three love helping with the potty reward, a treat. It has been a challenge to convince Zandy that this (our home) is a good thing, but she is slowly learning. Now there are six. : )

She makes the backyard even more fun. Yes she looks a LOT like Max. Probably some mix of Rat Terrier and something. Look at those smiles!

Isabella couldn't be happier!! She LOVES having Zandy.

She's gone from the streets to the Ritz!
