Izabella was so excited for Halloween! She woke up Saturday morning singing "Candy, Candy, My Yummy Candy!" She defiantly has Mike's sweet tooth, lets hope his metabolism is a packaged deal.
Here are some pictures of our fun filled Halloween evening!
Here is Izabella outside our house with our pumpkins. She was a cute little Bumble bee for Halloween. Isn't she cute?
She was so happy to pose for pictures!
Here is a cute close up after we put her wings on.
Our original plan was to meet Katie and Rem at K-mart to go through there Trick or treat street, but by the time we got there there was a line of almost a 1000 people. So we went over to Mike's old neighborhood and trick or treated some of the homes we knew. We stopped at the Wilson's to decide what to do next and let the kids run around in the front yard for a while. I think they enjoyed this more then the Trick or treating.
They ran back and forth and all around. Izabella just followed where ever Colton went. She loves having friends to play with.
She wouldn't even hold still for a picture. Look at that little bee go!!After we let the kids wear them selves out a little Katie and Rem and their two kids, and Mark and Kat all came over to our house where we ordered dinner and played games until the kids were ready for bed. It was a wonderful night. Every time our door bell rang Izabella and Colton would run to the door to help hand out candy and see all the other kids costumes. They had so much fun!!
All in all a great Halloween!!
Love ya,
Mike, Stefanie, and Izabella
So we have had a busy couple of weeks at the Plane home. Last Saturday we had what has become our annual Pumpkin Carving party. Kat and Mark came over with their pumpkins and a health appetite. We started off the evening with Homemade Chili and corn bread. It was so good if I do say so my self. Then Mike and Mark started carving pumpkins! Katrina decided after almost cutting her finger off last year that she would supervise. So I put her and Izabella to work decoration sugar cookies. This was Izabella's first experience with decorating cookies, and I have to say that she rather enjoyed herself. Unfortunately most of the frosting ended up in her mouth and not much of it ended up on the cookies. It was a wonderful night full of fun and friends. We were very disappointed that Colten was sick and the Katie and Remington were unable to join us. Hopefully next year! Here are a few pictures of all our fun!!
Here is Izabella frosting some cookies!

Smile Kat and Bella!

Mike just chillin'...doing what he does best.
Ok so I took Izabella's hair out and had her all ready for bed before I thought of taking pictures of our great pumpkins. So don't mind the model's hair and look at all our cool pumpkins.
She is cute even with her wild hair.

She is cute even with her wild hair.On Wednesday Izabella had a Halloween party at Day Care. She was so excited to were her cute little bumble bee costume. She had so much fun and brought home a ton of candy and little gifts. Kelly also gave her a cupcake when she left and Daddy thought it would be an OK idea to let Bella "hold" it on the way home. I don't know what made him think that this was a safe thing to do with our little eating machine. Needless to say Mike called me just before he pulled in and asked me to bring him a hose. Daddy had quite the mess to clean up, but Izabella seemed to have rather enjoyed herself.
The cup cake is gone, but there is plenty of orange frosting let over as evidence.
Kelly also let the kids make these cute little shirts. They used finger paints and their hands to make little spiders on either side of their shirts, then added a string for a spider web to dangle from and eyes. Bella loves her new little shirt.

So here it is the 28 week tummy! I'm not sure if I can grow much more!
As far as I can tell our little girl is getting bigger everyday and is quite active. In fact, when I feel like my tummy is getting ready to burst somehow it finds room to grow a little more. The doctor says that she is in fact growing very well. She is a much bigger baby then Izabella was and has a very healthy sounding heart and he agrees that she is incredibly active making finding her heart beat for longer then a few minutes difficult. We'll keep you posted!
Love you all,
Stefanie

So Mike and I have been on the road a lot the last couple of weeks. First we were swept away to Washington when my grandfather passed away the end of September. It was nice to be able to take a whole week to go home and spend time with so much family. Even my brother-in-law Carl was allowed to come home from Afghanistan to be with the family through our lost. 
This is a picture of all the Grand kids just before the funeral. It is so hard to get five kids under the age of three to sit still long enough for a decent picture. Oh, well they are all so cute any way.
Papa Russ' birthday was that Friday while we were up there and Kira and Dayrk had brought donuts to celebrate. Papa Russ thought this orange frosted donut with sprinkles had Bella's name on it. Well, he was right, she rather enjoyed it, even though mommy didn't enjoy cleaning her up at all.
Nana and Papa also had kittens. Bella took every chance she could to go out side and sit on the grass watching them. She was very disappointed when Daddy told her she couldn't bring one home because mommy was allergic.
We were all patiently waiting for the guest of honor to show up. I love surprise parties, I just hate WAITING!
Izabella helped Grandpa open and read his birthday card! LOVE YOU GRANDPA!
Just a cute picture. I could resist posting it.
After dad blew out the candles with Addy's help he taught all the grand kids to steal the icing off the cake. It was all fun and games until Doug tried to stick his fist in the cake. That's what you get for teaching your grand kids bad habits.
And here is Dad with three of his five grand babies. I can't believe in only a couple more months that there will be 6!

Then only seven days after coming back to Idaho we found ourselves back in the car and on our way to Washington for Grandpa Eldredge's 50th Birthday party!! WOW, dad's getting OLD!!

So we all got together at the Freeman's farms before the party for pictures. Wow, it was great. We had a large group and everyone but Bella cooperated. Next time she is taking a nap.
I will have these family pictures soon and will post them for everyone to see.
It was great to see family, however I am glad to say that it will be after the new year before Mike and I travel again.
Love you all,

Mike and I have been planning on taking Izabella to the zoo all summer, and I'm glad to report that we finally made it to the Boise Zoo.!! Izabella loves animals and I knew she was going to love see all the different animals the zoo would have to offer. Well, her reactions didn't disappoint. Just see for yourself...
This is one of the new baby giraffes that the zoo just got. They were so cute!
Bella couldn't wait to ride the carousal. It is only appropriate that she was riding the monkey.
Izabella and Daddy loved the penguins!
Even the fake ones where fun to climb on (even thought there was a sign posted saying not too.)
This was a playful little turtle that followed Izabella back and forth in the window. She loved being so close to the animals.
She even liked acting like she was a turtle. What a nice shell you have!
The zoo had a large Kamodo Dragon that Izabella wasn't too interested in, but she loved sitting on this statue.
Bella loved the tigers, even thought she just thought it was an extra large kitty. They had a little one just out side the exhibit for the little kids to sit on. I didn't think we were going to see the rest of the zoo after we found this.
Daddy and Bella in the tunnel looking for the prairie dogs, or maybe they were just trying to hide from mommy.

I want to thank Grandma Plane for taking the day to go with us. It takes a lot to keep up with a 21 month old and I appreciated not having to run after her so much. An extra pair of hands made the day even better.
Love you all,
Mikey, Stefi, and Izabella
A Great and Special Man...
I'm not really sure what I can say that has not been said about this wonderful guy! Grandpa was defiantly on of a kind. I have always believed that their was nothing he couldn't do. I watched him for years as he worked with all he had on his farm, for his family, and in the church. I was by his side while he battled cancer, and he held my hand when I fought my own battle. I think after a trial like that it is very reasonable to feel invincible.
Grandpa and Grandma where the center of our large family. They supported each other, their children, their grandchildren, and their great grandchildren. They were always together with their wonderful smiles, and sweet laughs.
I am so glad to know that even though Grandpa isn't with us any more here on this earth that he is somewhere wonderful, and that he is still with family. I think Grandma was right to say that he is taking care of my little girl for the next few month until she joins our wonderful family here on earth. I can only pray that she inherits some of his wonderful loving traits.
FOR MY GRANDPA
I know we are all feeling a little bit sad,
That we've lost our Grandpa, our friend and our dad
Together we have cried an ocean of tears
As we feel so empty and hold many fears
But Grandpa would want us to know he's in a good place
And that he watching us all with a smile on his face
As we have made him so proud, as proud as can be
That he has raised such a beautiful and special family
Thinking back now I really must say
I feel lucky and privileged to have known Grandpa to this day
For in my life, you have played a special part
The memories I will treasure and keep close to your heart
For me I am glad my little baby he got to meet
And for all of us, be grateful, his life is now complete
To each one of us he has loved and cared
And a family, be thankful for the good times we shared
Although he has gone we will always be together
And his spirit will live on each one of us forever
When you look to the sky, look for the brightest star
As that will be Grandpa looking down on us from afar
And now I would like to thank the good Lord above
For blessing us with our Grandpa with his kindness and love
Dear God, if it is not too much fuss
Take extra special care of our Grandpa as he is very dear to us
Grandpa if you are listening say a prayer for us every day
Be sure to protect us and guide us on our way
We know when God called you, you had to go
But we want you to know Grandpa we miss you and love you so
Love you always,
Mike, Stefanie, Izabella, and Baby Girl

I have to apologize for my lack of posts the last month or so. So much has been happening. Truthfully the main reason I haven't posted is that when I was home for the Iverson Family reunion in July I lost my camera battery charger. I asked everyone in Washington and looked all over the house numerous times looking for it to no avail. So my wonderful husband ordered me a new one along with a new battery just in case. Then to find out, it was in Royal all the time at my moms house. So now I have two batteries and two battery chargers. I shouldn't have camera problems for a while.
Then it is now the busy time at work and I have been putting in anywhere from 40 to 72 hours a week. Talk about exhausting on top of being in my last trimester of this pregnancy and running after a 21 month old. Life is just busy!!
However, I am excited to announce that I will be making it all up in the next couple of days. I have a lot of news and a lot to post. So stay tuned!!
Love,
Stefanie Plane
