Isla Turned 4 Today!!!!

I can't believe my baby

 girl turned 4 today!

Nixon is my oldest so when she has a 

birthday I feel it is natural

 she is another year older. 

But Isla?

It just doesn't seem right 

saying she's 4 years old! 

It seems like yesterday 

Jared was going 90 mph

up 231 rushing me to the hospital,

praying I would make

it for the epideral. 

(thankfully I did)

We had a very special day!

Isla was so happy her cousins

Ella, Sara, and John Robert 

were here to celebrate!

Last night Isla made sure to

remind me that she needed

birthday muffins when she woke

up! Thanks to Jared for baking these!

We sang "Happy Birthday" 

to the birthday girl! 

After we got dressed we 

opened up presents!

Ella, Sara, and John Robert gave her

a bag full of goodies including

makeup, a hello kitty brush, and notepad!

Roman gave her a 

slip and slide.

I think Nixon likes 

the puppy and purse she

 gave her more than Isla does!

Jared and I went against everything

we believe in and bought her 

an ipod touch. :) 

She is obsessed with my

 iphone so hopefully

this will keep her off my phone. 

She thinks it's a phone 

so she loves it! 

She mainly likes it b/c of

the camera. 

We HAVE to get her

to undertand she

can't take pictures of

her daddy (or anyone

else for that matter)

when he is in the shower! :)

I downloaded her the 

soundtrack to Snow White

and she has listened to it all 

day!

We figured out she can also Facetime

all our family!

(she's more high tech than her mommy!)

After we were done opening gifts the

girls went to preschool.

This is the birthday girl

and her teacher Mrs. Michelle. 

(she asked me NOT to call

her Isla today but 

"the birthday girl")

The class sang "Happy Birthday" 

and she blew out her 2nd set of candles!

She chose bubbles out of the cake!

We had purple cupcakes for 

the entire class!

(she requested purple)

Her cousins joined the class for cupcakes!

So did our sweet neighbor Hadley!

John Robert and Roman

really liked the cupcakes!

Nixon walked over from her class to

help celebrate!

Lottie and Jared didn't get

to enjoy a cupcake but they still

partied! 

I don't think anyone liked the cupcakes

as much as Sara did!

After we got all cleaned up 

we went to the church 

nursery to play.

(it was raining so we could not go outside)

They had a good time

with their babies!

We ended the afternoon at 

Monkey Joe's for 

pizza and fun!

Roman LOVES

Monkey Joe's!

(I must add he had on an

adorable smocked jonjon

and he insisted on wearing the camo 

pants and Bama jersey!)

John Robert was unsure at 1st 

but Uncle Jared taught 

him how to slide!!

Lottie had a good time 

strolling around!

The Birthday Girl and Sara

had a blast!

Hadley had fun too!

We ate pizza!

Hadley ate alot! :) 

Lottie didn't get pizza.

Libby joined us,

and Jordan!

Daddy and Mommy

with the Birthday Girl!

We had a wonderful day celebrating

4 amazing years with Isla.

(just to clarify, her name is pronounced

"eye-lah" NOT "is-lah")

I have a week to finish planning

her Snow White party.

She has many specific requests! 

I know she is going to love it! 

(and I love to plan a party)
