A Plane Family Story

Our little girls first Halloween!!!
We had such a wonderful evening. Mike and I bundled up our little ducky and headed out into the rain. We stopped at family and friends for candy, pictures, and some wonderful conversations. It was so much fun to watch Izabella enjoy the evening. She loved seeing every one and for the most part liked her costume. The Duck bill kept creeping down over her eyes so when she tried to look at someone she had to tilt her head all the way back. It was so cute. I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. Here are some pictures to enjoy!!

Bella loved playing in the dirt!
Love you all,

Mike, Stefi, and Izabella the little ducky

We had the greatest FHE this Monday night. We tried to do something together every Monday night, but that usually consists of staying at home watching a movie together, or maybe playing a game. This week we took Izabella to her first Corn Maze. CSI the collage just down the street from us have a small Corn Maze that they do every year. We thought that it would be interesting to see what Bella's reaction would be. She loved it!!! There were a couple of other families we knew that had had the same idea and they were there too playing a game of hide a seek. Izabella absolutely loved it when the kids jumped out of the corn at her and yelled "Boo". It was a beautiful night and it was wonderful to enjoy it with Mike and Izabella.

After the Corn Maze adventure we went home to carve our one little pumpkin. Mike hates carving pumpkins so Izabella and I picked out our own. Thankfully our friends Mark and Katrina had called and wanted to come over and carve pumpkins with us. Yay!!! The more the merrier. This will be Bella's first Halloween, so that made it her first pumpkin carving experience. She had so much fun. Daddy didn't really let her get to dirty, in fact he only let her stick her arm in the pumpkin and pull out the insides once or twice. Then he decided that her trying to eat it wasn't a good idea, however, letting her play with the top of the pumpkin would be ok. Wow, was he wrong. Izabella loves Pumpkin!! I mean she actually ate the top of the pumpkin. We couldn't get any pictures with out the top in her mouth. Who would have thought that the top of a pumpkin could keep a baby so happy. To cap off the eventful night we had a run to the ER. While carving pumpkins Katrina's hand slipped slicing her pinkie finger. Come to find out she actually cut through the flex er tendons and is going to have to have surgery to repair it. We're sorry Kat and hope you are back to new real soon. It just goes to show that even thought carving pumpkins is fun it needs to be done carefully and under adult supervision. I guess we should have asked someone to come supervise us. Despite this, I will always carve Jack-O Lanterns with my children. It's so much Fun!!! And I'm sure Katrina will also.

I am so excited for Friday when we get to take Izabella Trick- or -Treating. Mike's excited to because I told him if she gets any candy he can have it ALL!!!

Here are some pictures of our fun Monday Night...more will follow after all of our Halloween festivities!!

If you look closely at the top corner of the pumpkin top you will see where she was chewing on it earlier. We love Carving Jack-O-Lanterns!!!

Have a Happy Halloween!!!

I was working on my blogging yesterday afternoon while I thought Izabella was preoccupied on the floor with her toys. A minute later I saw something out of the corner of my eye and there she was. She had pulled herself up onto a box of Mike's Star Trek video's. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. Walking is the next step in our little girls growing track and I don't know if I am ready for that!!

Hello everyone,

Fall is here, and I am loving all the beautiful colors as earth prepares herself for the winter that will arrive very soon. Our little family took advantage of such a beautiful fall day to take a family outing to the Pumpkin Patch. I have to say that now I am ready for the holidays.

Izabella really enjoyed herself. We couldn't get her to even look at us while we tried to capture the fun in pictures. She was to busy watching all the other kids, playing with the pumpkins, and yes even trying to eat dirt. Not quit the princess we would like her to be...but she sure had a lot of fun.Isn't she cute with this half smile of hers?!She was really concentrating on all the pumpkins.Surrounded by all those pumpkins...It makes Bella look so SmallIzabella was watching her daddyI think she found the perfect pumpkin. What do you think?Tell Daddy how much fun you are having!!We had such a wonderful time finding the perfect pumpkins today. We'll have to show you pictures after we carve them on Monday for FHE. We hope that you all are doing well and that you are finding that holiday spirit. Take care.

Love,
Mike, Stefanie, and Izabella

I can't believe how grown up you are. It seems only yesterday we where children playing in the yard at home. Now we are married and having children of our own.

I want you to know what an inspiration you are to me, and how much I love and appreciate all that you have done for me. You are a wonderful sister who inspires me in all that you do. You have been a wonderful sister, friend and Aunt to Izabella. We love you and hope that this special day is full of fun and laughter.

A poem for my sister

Even though we are miles apart

It's like your still here next to me.

Because i keep you in my heart.

When you feel down look for me in your dream

We have been there for each other our whole lives.

No one can ever take your place.

Your shoulder is what i have used for my cries.

You have made me laugh when i had a frown on my face.

We are sisters and friends.

I love you my sister till the end.

I could not imagine my life without you

You are my rock.

Just always remember i love you my sister.

And i will be here till the end.

So look for me in your dreams.

When you need a friend

Or you just want to scream.

I love you Jessica Page...Have a wonderful 24th Birthday!!!
