ISABELLE GRACE = 3

How's that for an algebra equation?  Our little Belly Cakes turned 3 on the 13th.  She has been acting like a 3 year old long before it was official.  For those who know her, you know how stinkin' adorable, temperamental, spunky, hilarious, feisty, stubborn and sweet she is.

She copies everything Jillian does and gets angry at the drop of a hat.  She loves, loves, loves to sing and dance around.  She has been 'shakin' it' since she could stand up.  Her hair has a personality of it's own and reminds me of the crazy snake hair of Medusa at times.  I love her little chubby buns and can't help but pinch them...at which she giggles and runs away.  She is Payton's little buddy.  She loves it when he gives her piggy back rides and gets upset when we won't let her sleep in his bed with him.

She loves books, my little ponies, dress-up, and attention.  She is not afraid to get dirty and her stained clothes and dirt filled finger nails prove that.  She tries so hard to keep up with her brother and sisters and wants to be included in everything.  "Guys...wait up."  "Guys, don't go without me."  And she is absolutely, "a big kid."

(She is 'twirling' in her new ballet outfit)

Happy Birthday!!

We love, love, love you... miss Isabelle Grace.
