Bahamas and Izzie's 1rst birthday

We had a great time on our cruise. We got to do things we have been wanting to do for a long time. We went snorkeling twice.

We went deep sea fishing and Elliott caught yellow snapper and a trigger fish. As you can see in the picture I'm up chucking over the side. It was a horrible 4 hours. We went para sailing, it was cool. We saw tons of jellyfish, I did not want to put my feet in the ocean. We ate like kings, so of course I gained all my weight back that I lost.

Izzie turned one yesterday and our family came over to celebrate. She has 3 teeth now and it taking steps by herself. Cant believe the year has already come and gone.

Easter

We celebrated Easter a week early since we will be on a cruise ship to the Bahamas. My mom gave the kids cute Easter outfits and they did a Easter egg hunt. Cole loved coloring the eggs. Izzie took her first step yesterday and got her top tooth in Tuesday and she is almost one. Cant believe it. Cole is talking up a storm and is fully potty trained. I'm so proud of him. His hair is getting so long again, we have so many comments on how cute his hair is.

Doctors visits

Cole had his first dentist appointment and was so ready and did great. Except the stupid lady didn't do anything but look. Is that normal? They don't clean teeth anymore? Elliott or I didn't get our teeth cleaned either and we were/are mad about that. So we are going to go to another dentist in a couple months.

I forgot to blog that we went to the cardiologist in January. The pediatrician found a murmur and the cardiologist said she has an opening that should have closed soon after she was born. She also has a valve that is smaller than it should be. The Doctor said she will be fine, they will monitor her every year. Didn't think they made little baby gowns. She is so cute!

My in-laws have sold the farm and we went out twice in a month for "one last time". We had a blast. We are going to miss it out there so much. Especially Cole, he will miss the potato launcher.

Winter

We are loving the snow right now. It is 6 inches and still snowing.

I have such great helpers. One morning I told Cole to go tell Izzie good morning. He climbed in her bed and they were quiet for awhile so I fell back to sleep and they were too quiet, so I went to see what was going on. He was taking apart her Mobil. But they were playing so good. They also wanted to help with the laundry.

Elliott's work went ice skating and Cole had fun, but had a hard time learning to skate.

We finally raked our leaves and Cole was messing it all up, at least I got a cute picture of him

Children of mine

So congrats Dustin on your band tour, hope it went well. Sorry to hear about Dexter and Connor, I hope they are doing better. And Congratulations to Julia with the new baby. I hope to see y'all soon. This is what is keeping me busy:
