Wanna Be Starting Something!!

Izzy was very excited tonight when Papa came home early! She wanted to have a dance party! So we threw on a little MJ and she went to it! She has some moves that is for sure! :)

Peddle, Peddle, Peddle

It took Izzy about 1 day to swim with her floaties! And the whole time swimming she would say "peddle, peddle, peddle"! Too cute!

Assisi and Florence, Italy

Here are some pics from Florence and Assisi. They were both amazingly beautiful! However, Florence would be so great to visit in the fall! It was over 100 degrees and there was so much to see and shop! The leather there is amazing, but just to hot to really look at! It would be great to go when it is a little cooler...especially if you are going with kids!!! We all melted! The shopping markets in Florence!

We didn't get to go to the top because it was so hot and the kids were dying!

In the main plaza of Florence.

Assisi, Italy...so beautiful! Built on the side of a mountain.

St. Frances Cathedral, this is actually built on top of the origional (tiny) chapel that was built in the 1200's...but of course you couldn't take pictures inside. But it was pretty cool to see!

Italy 2010!!!

Here are some random shots from our time in Italy. We spent most mornings by the pool and afternoons were spent touring the little towns of Tuscany and Umbria! We were lucky enough to have Emiliano's family there to show us around and take care of us. It was a blast and the food was AMAZING!! :)

In public pools you have to wear "swimcaps"...aren't they cute!

Looking good!

Izzy is 2!!!

I know it is hard to believe that our baby girl is 2! But she is! The past two years have flown by! Izzy actually had two birthday parties to celebrate the occasion. The first was over Easter weekend while we were at the farm. The big party was here in KY the next weekend. We did a joint party with her best buddy, Tanner, who turns 2 in April also. They had a great time at the party place we rented out. Izzy played till she could play no more, and still didn't want to stop! The Birthday Girl!

The birthday girl and family!

Easter At the Farm!!!

Easter weekend the whole family met in Charleston, WV to stay at Krystals family's farm...or as we call it, "the farm". We had a great weekend full of 4wheeling, feeding fish, and hanging out with the family! It was a great time! On Sunday, we had a huge feast at June and LeRoys which was delicious! It was a great spending time with the whole family together!

Izzy's favorite thing to do on the farm...riding with Uncle Eric!
