So I guess I haven't really noticed how quickly Izabella learns from doing. The other day we were cleaning her room when I found a couple of empty wipe package, you know the ones from Costco. Izabella was helping me, and wanted to do everything herself. So I gave her the wipe packages and told her they needed to be thrown away. I lead her into the bathroom and showed her were the garbage can was. She threw them away and was so happy with herself that she started to clap. Later that afternoon I got a new wipes package out when it was time to change Izabella's diaper. A few hours later I notice Mike was getting ready to change her diaper and had gotten out a new wipes package. I just figured he hadn't taken time to look for the one I had opened earlier. However, that night when I was getting Bella ready for bed I couldn't find either wipe package. Where could she have put them? After about 20 mins of searching I decided to use the wipes from the diaper bag. Then when it was time for Mike and I to get ready for bed, I went into the bathroom and noticed that the garbage can was quite full. When I looked more closely I found the 2 packages of wipes we had opened earlier that day along with one of Mike's stinky shoes, Echo's dogie toy and a couple of magnets from the fridge. I guess Izabella found a few more things around the house she thought where garbage. I will have to be careful what I show her from now on. I can't believe how fast she is growing and quickly she is learning.
Love you all,

Love You!!
Saturday we all got up early and went to Justin's tee ball game. Justin did great and it was fun to watch him play. Izabella loved it. She wanted to run out onto the field and play to. After the game was over I let Izabella run on the field and over third base. I think I have a future Softball player on my hands.
Justin all ready for the ball.
Father and son...
Grandpa and Grandma with Izabella
Izabella loves riding her horse...especially now that she is big enough to get on and off on her own.
Daddy bought Bella this new little table. It's just her size!
I can't believe how much Izabella looks like her cousin Hallie in this picture. At least I think so, what do you think Em?
This is Great Grandpa Iverson's little wood tractor that he made Izabella, and all his other great grand kids for Christmas. Every time she plays with it I can't help but think of how wonderfully talented Grandpa is, and how much I miss him. We love you Grandpa!!We hope you all enjoyed these pictures as much as we did.
Love you all,
Michael, Stefanie, and Izabella
We arrive in Tri Cities on Thursday afternoon were Kira met us and took us to her house for the evening. Izabella has never seen so many toys in one place ever in her life...Addi and Doug are very lucky to have such great play room. Then Friday it was off to Mom's. She put together a wonderful BBQ dinner, and Russ' cooking is always so yummy. And i always love to see Grandma and Grandpa Iverson when I'm home. I am always amazed how much their home has changed, but how familiar everything is. There is nothing better then being at home!!
Then on Saturday morning Dad and Jeana took me horse back riding. It was so much fun! I had almost forgotten how much I enjoy riding. Jake came with us to, and the four of us rode for hours. I can't wait for my next trip home so that we can ride again. Izabella wasn't so sure of the horses. She loved being able to pet them, but she didn't want to ride unless mom was there too.
I want to thank my entire family for letting Izabella and I come stay with them. We miss you all so much and were grateful for the chance to come home, even if it was for only a couple of short days. July will be here soon and then we will have a whole week of fun together.
Love you all and see you again soon,
