Bethel Basketball: Jordan's First Home Game

Monday night, Jordan had his first home game. Jason, me, Isabella, Scott, and Darlene all ventured up to Bethel College to cheer on the Pilots. It was a close game with Bethel winning by 2 points. Jordan played great!! Isabella loved wathcing her Uncle Jordy play and had fun cheering him on. We are looking forward to the next one. I was able to get a few good photos...

Outdoor Fun

The last few days we have had some really nice weather here in Northern Indiana. It is such a wonderful thing when you can take your toddler outside to burn off some energy. I don't know what I'm going to do when the snow starts to fall and Isabella has cabin fever. We were able to get out some of her toys to play with, her latest thing is a basketball. She also got to ride her 4-wheeler around for a bit. Then on Monday evening, we got to take a family bike ride through the subdivision. This was only possible thanks to my brother Randy, who gave Jason his old bike. For those that don't know, the bike Jason had was one he found in a ditch when we lived in Joliet and parts of it are duct taped together. I was able to snap some photos of the fun we had.

Thinking about what to get into next!

Collecting things

"Look mommy, it's over there."

She ran her 4-wheeler into a pile of daddy's leaves!

Until next time...

Naptime with Sophie

This past week, Isabella got a viral rash all over her body, so we've been treating it with Benadryl and Tylenol. The Benadryl makes her so sleepy!! This morning after I gave her a dose she played for a bit and then she started to get tired. She climbed up on the couch and fell asleep. Next thing I know, her kitty Sophie was sleeping next to her. I grabbed the camera and snapped a pictures. It is too cute and I couldn't help but share!

Until next time...

Trick or Treat

This year for Halloween, Isabella dressed up as a lady bug. It was really cold here in Northern Indiana and Bella isn't a fan of people she doesn't know, so we didn't really take her trick or treating. We got her all dressed up and took her to CVS to see my co-workers. Then we came home and took her to our neighbors, Jamie and Julie's. They were so thrilled to see her, and gave her plenty of treats. After that, we headed home. Nanny, Pappy, Auntie Jenny and Uncle Justin all came up to our house to pass out candy. It was so much fun watching Bella go to the door with Pappy to pass out candy to all the kids. She would stand in the door way and wave to them as they walked down the driveway! I think she enjoyed that more than getting candy herself. We ended up having a good night!! We ordered a pizza, hung out, and ate leftover candy! Couldn't have been better. Next year, we actually plan on taking her door to door since she'll be a little older and hopefully not as afraid of strangers. Here are some pics of Bella:

We hope everyone else had a safe and happy Halloween! Until next time...
