A Plane Family Story

I know I am a little late posting this, but I have to share the wonderful weekend we had. Friday afternoon Mike's parents stopped and picked the tree of us up to head to Hill Air force Base, in Utah were Mike's brother Jeff lives. We had plans for the whole family to go to the new Star Trek movie together. Of course Grandma opted to stay home with the four babies while the rest of us went to the movies. If was so much fun to be able to have a date night with adults. And the Plane men had so much fun showing off their great Star Trek Uniforms that Mom made. 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.

After the game we all caught a quick lunch and some of us got to take naps, then we went to see where Jeff and Em's new house is going to be built. I am so excited for them and their new house. I can't wait till it's done! Then we swung by the air force museum. I loved the mash helicopter, and Izabella enjoyed daddy's crazy driving of the stroller.

Jeff fixed steak that night for our Mother's Day dinner. It was great! Thanks you Jeff and Em for a wonderful Dinner.

The whole weekend was wonderful! I am so grateful for Jeff and Em for letting us come and stay with them and for all they did for us while we were there. We look forward to seeing everyone again this weekend. We all love being with family, and Izabella adores her cousins. They were very entertaining.

Love you all,

Mike, Stefanie, and Izabella

Izabella is now 16 months old, and I have decided that she finally had enough hair to try pigtails. You have to look really close but they are definitely there, sticking up behind her big hair bows. I had to put almost as much product in her hair as I do my own to get all her hair to say up. Sorry sweetie you definitely have you mother and fathers hair, thin, baby fine, and straight as a rod. No matter, I still think she looks so cute.

My daughter finally has hair!!! So here are some pictures... 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

Izabella and I were able to come home for a weekend so that I could go to a work luncheon in Moses Lake last weekend. It was a short trip , but it was worth it to see all my family. Even A.J. took some time out of his busy schedule to come and see us.

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.

We will just have to get around horses more so that she will love them as much as her mommy.

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,

Stefanie and Izabella

Easter Morning!!

Mike and Izabella had so much fun looking through their baskets. Izabella loved her little purple light up duck with jelly beans. She couldn't wait for bath time...Candy, candy, and more candy...I think Bella thought she was in heaven.

"Scentsy"

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am having a Scentsy candle party this Saturday May 2nd. I am so excited to invited everyone over to my home at 1209 Sparks St N, here in Twin Falls Id for this wonderful evening of candles, food, friends, and fun. I hope that you will all be able to make it. If those of you who live somewhere else and are unable to make it please check out www.scentsy.com and let me know if you would like to order something.

If you haven't heard of "Scentsy" candles before, let me tell you a little about them. Scentsy candles are unique warmer in many different styles that use a 25 watt bulb to melt wax slowly, maximizing the fragrance time of the Scentsy bar allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scents for a more than 80 hours. Also with the use of a light bulb to melt the the wax, the wax only melts to body temperature and will not burn when touched. I love this product and just wanted to share it with all of you.

I Love Easter!!

Mike and I took Izabella to the Jenks Family Easter egg hunt on Saturday. This was the 71st annual easter hunt for the family. It was great to see so many family and friends! Mike and I have been to the hunt together since we were married and Mike went a few years before that. This was Izabella's second time, but it was her first year to Hunt the eggs. She thoroughly enjoyed it, and I think she did rather well collecting her nine eggs. In fact, we almost couldn't get her to give them up. Mike hunted this year also, and collected 38 eggs. I was rather impressed even though the winner collected a whopping 166 eggs. Wow!!!

Here are a few pictures of all the fun!!

This is Mikey and one of his best friends Ashton Jenks!!

Off they GO!!

Izabella did a really good job keeping up with Daddy.

Daddy Hunting...He looks like he is more leisurely walking..

I will add the rest of our Easter time fun soon!!

Love Ya All,

Mikey, Stefanie, and Izabella

I just wanted to post a couple pictures of Mom Plane and wish her a very happy birthday!! I hope that you have had a wonderful day and that both your boys remembered to call you. I'm not going to remind Mike so if he forgets I'm so very sorry.
