Great Grandparents

Izabella had quite an eventful week last week. In a matter of four days she meet all four of her Great Grandma's and two Great Grandpa's. What a lucky girl to still have so many great grandparents to love her. It was great to be able to see so much family and to be able to share our little family with everyone. Izabella has been pretty cranky the last few days because she has a tooth coming in, but I think over all she made a good impression with everyone. It's hard to not love her chubby cheeks and large toothless smile.
Luckily for Great Grandma Burton, she gets to see Izabella when ever she wants since she lives her in Twin Falls. Almost every week Mommy and Bella go down to the court house to visit grandma at work, along with all the other girls that love to see her. Great Grandma Plane was the first GG Izabella met on our weekend on the Great Grandparents. She told us that back home in South Carolina that they call her GG for short. I was great to be able to meed Grandma Plane for the first time, for me as well as for little Bella. After a great dinner, thanks Aunt Ceil, the whole Plane family went to temple square and went up to the roof of the new conference center to take a few pictures. It was wonderful to have the whole family together.
After the fun at Salt Lake with GG the whole family headed up to Heber City to see Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Edwards.













Bella had so much fun at Great Grandma's and Great Grandpa's house. She was able to play with her cousins, Justin, Haley and Kara, and she got to play with Mike's cousin Brandis' little girl Kaida. They had so much fun and it was great to watch Izabella interact with kids close to her same age. Izabella at almost 5 months, Kaida almost 9 months, and Kara almost 1 month. These girls are going to be great friends I just know it.


Here are two great Daddies and there little girls. Mikey and her brother Jeff had to get away from all the adults at the table.



Mikey and his cousin Brandis take some time to pose for a picture.


Then after Mike and I got home we heard that Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Iverson were coming through Twin Falls on there way to Utah. We were so excited!! Unfortunately Mommy didn't manage to get a picture of G Grandpa Iverson, she was to busy talking, so we will have to get one in a couple of weeks when we are up in Royal.

Great Grandma Iverson and Izabella checking each other out!!


Also on our trip down south I was able to get Mike to get some pictures. These are the first pictures of Mike and I together since our Wedding. He hates to take pictures, but know that he has a little girl he is going to have to let me take a lot more. So here are our first family photos.




We have Izabella in the little sling carrier that Emily made me. It works so great and is better than haling the stroller around. However, I think Bella is starting to out grow it. Thank you Emily!! Everyone said the Bella looked like a pink candy cane in her little jacket.






Izabella isn't even looking in this one, but it is a great picture of Mike and I.




There are not a lot of people who can say that they have met all four of their great grandmas, not to mention that in a few weeks Izabella will get to meet her fifth Great Grandma when we are in Washington. She is really a greatly loved little girl. We are so grateful to have such a large and wonderful family. We have so much support all around us from them and our friends. Families are forever and I am grateful that we will always be with our loving family. Thank you for all you do for us!!


I just had to add a picture of Izabella and Mommy!!

Lucky girl! She must be so confused now. :) I was too young to really remember any of my great-grandparents so I'm excited that my kids have so many of theirs left an have gotten pictures taken with all of them so that they'll at least know that they met them. Izabella is such a doll and I'm so glad we got to come play with her! I hope the teething is going better this week. Oh, and don't worry, as soon as I've finished working on the pictures from last weekend I'll upload them and send you the link. :)
Have fun in WA & say hello to the chowderhead for me! :)

It's really fun to check out your blog--I look almost every day to see if there is anything new. I have some more pix on my camera that I need to sent to both you and Emily--I will do it soon--this is my short week to work. We loved the picture on the phone tonight with Mike and Izabella... Talk to you soon--Love, mom
