jenstagram.

ok, i know the title is kinda very dorky but isn't it a little bit witty!?  

i wish i were witty... and could sing, and could dance (like SYTYCD kind of dancing), but i can't do any of those things.  oh well.  i still like jenstagram and i'm sticking with it!

my little iphone is holding so many beautiful, fun memories from the last month and it's about time everyone else gets to see them!

lunch date with jet and linds.  i'm pretty sure these 2 love each other. 

cheesing it up at the park.

silly.

hugs with jillian.

isla likes to swiffer (just like her mom)!

we had a little bit of a milestone this month.  isla's first haircut!  i know she doesn't have much hair but my hair girl (who is great) convinced me that isles needed a little trim to make her hair grow thicker and more even.  so we went with it.  and even though you can't tell by her face in this pic she actually liked it.  she cried when i took her out of the chair.  

such a serious moment.

we also discovered the smores and vanilla cupcake goldfish.  awesome!

another big september event!  i ran my first organized run.  the tour des fleurs 10k.  katie and i ran together and it was such a blast!  we ran the whole thing and to say the least were very proud of ourselves :)  and isla was there in her t to cheer us on, she was definitely our third training partner...

dancing.

just finished.  thanks for all the encouragement katie, couldn't have done it without you!  and thanks to our sweet fam and friends that came to cheer us on!

we made a trip to the cottonwood art festival with aimee, meryl and owen and had such a fun time!  thank you richardson!

these 2 were so cute in their matching hats!

and whats an art festival without a corn dog!

owen was such a good little trooper!

watching the ducks.

we have been going to a wiggle worms class at the richardson library.  they read books, sing songs, and have puppet shows.  it's so fun.  this is isla being a tree...

looking at pics of floyd with katie!

big hugs!

have a nice day.

and nothing says fall in dallas, like the state fair of texas.

watching the ferris wheel.

lot's of corn dogs this month!

we had fried oreos.  and i almost died because they were so amazing.

lots of fun at the petting zoo...

the zebra...

texas forever.

have a great weekend!

19 months.

happy 19 months isla girl!

this is such a fun age!  i really love it.  everyday is so much fun and something new and different.  

isla's vocabulary is growing so much and it's hilarious to hear her cute words.
we just love this little girl more than we could have ever imagined.

favorites at 19 months:
her talking.  she talks non-stop (i just wish i could understand most of it).  but she is saying so many words.  she repeats most things we say and puts together a couple words at a time now.
she still loves sleep and actually loves her bed more than ever.  (wahoo)
we have been going to music class the past month.  she does a little bit of running around the room but loves to sing and dance too.
she loves her friends and loves playing with kids.
the girl loves food!  and now says "i want snacks".  for real!?
she giggles.  and it's cute.
she is sweet.  she gives big hugs and kisses.
isla thinks it's so funny when i beat box.  yes, i beat box... but only for my daughter :)
isles loves her daddy so much.  when joe is at work she asks "where dada go?"
we love our sweet, little isles!

this year isla is a sugar cookie with sprinkles :) for halloween...

and who wouldn't try to eat the sprinkles!  that's my girl!

love you little boo!

hello instagram.

lots more catching up to do. 

i turned 31 in september.  wow.  that sounds old.  

for me 30 felt kind of fun and different but 31 just feels... old.

but i'm over it now and i had such a fun bday weekend.  we kind of planned a last minute trip to colorado with my family for labor day/bday weekend.  it was so relaxing and fun.  and i hadn't seen my parents cabin in over a year and let me just say that place looks completely different.  i will have to do a blog post of before and after pics.  the cabin is awesome!  and the perfect family get-away.  

isla did great on her first plane ride. 

ready for some cooler weather!

how much do you love a little raincoat and boots!?  and that view!!!

happy girl.

the water puddles were a big hit.  lots of splashing and laughing!

loves her nay nay.
