A Plane Family Story

Where does time go. I can't believe that it is now September! Where did Augest go? I don't know. The hardest thing to believe is that my baby is now 8 months old. I know people always said that they grow up so fast, but this is faster then I was expecting. I miss the days when she would just sleep on my stomach for hours and be so content. Now taking naps is almost out of the question. She is such a busy little thing, always having to be doing something. She isn't crawling yet, but I think that is because she can get everywhere she needs to by rolling or scooting. She has been getting up on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth for the past couple of weeks. She just doesn't seem to be interested in crawling, but man does she love to walk. Just lend her your hands and off she goes, as fast as her little feet will go.

A couple of weeks ago Mike and I moved into another apartment. Don't worry this is the last time we are moving until we buy a house; at least it is the last time I am moving. We love our new place and can't wait to get everything situated.

Here are some pictures of our little girl:

For some reason my daughter thinks she needs to hold her bottle with both hands and both feet. She really is a little monkey!!

Izabella stole Daddy's pepsi before he could open it...she looks like she's enjoying it.

O' oh...Daddy caught me...I just need to look inocent now.

Bella is going to follow in her mommy's foot steps. I just don't know it she's to sure about it yet!
Izabella looking at her new book Grandma Plane made her. She loves books!!

Our whole family is doing great despite being too busy to realize how fast life is passing us by. We think of you all often and hope that you are all doing well also. We love you all and hope to see you soon.

Love,

Mike, Stefanie, Izabella, and Echo

I love to see the temple. I'm going there someday, to feel the Holy Spirit, to listen and to pray.For the temple is a house of God, a place of love and beauty.I'll prepare myself while I am young; This is my sacred duty.I love to see the temple. I'll go inside someday. I'll cov'nant with my Father; I'll promise to obey.

For the temple is a holy place where we are sealed together.As a child of God, I've learned this truth;A family is forever.When we are children in primary, we sing this song hundreds of times. We know what we are singing, but I don't know if we truly realize the true meaning of all the wonderful promises in this beautiful song. When we are older and we have the privilege of finally entering in to the House of our Father, and to make those covenants the spirit that we feel is beyond any that I could have ever imagined as a child. We are so blessed to have a beautiful Temple here in Twin Falls. It truely adds a new type of beauty to this city. I love being able to drive by and look upon the House of the Lord and I am anxiouse to enter in to receive more blessing form our Heavenly Father.

When we went to Washington a couple of months ago, Izabella's cousin Addy had the cutest little toy frog. He was bright green and sang lots of fun songs. Bella loved playing with it. Then a couple of weeks ago my sister Kira found one why she was out shopping. She just knew that Bella would love it, so she got it for her.

This is Izabella's new best friend.She loves her singing froggy!!But still not as much as when daddy comes home!

Izabella is really growing up to be a very independent little girl.


She hasn't quite figured out how to use a sippy cup yet, but she won't hesitate to help herself to daddy's glass.

Bottom's up!!

We have been going outside the last couple of nights and playing in the grass.

This is Bella's new toy!!Izabella loves playing out side. And she loves playing with her daddy.

This is the new Blanky that Aunt Ceil sent Izabella a couple weeks ago. I can't believe how beautiful it is. Izabella loves playing with the bows on the corner and is very interested in the two different layers around the edge. Thank you Aunt Ceil...We love you!!!
