Izzy with her new present from Mari. She got early practice for the big b-day!

Izzy learning to open presents. Sorry I didn't rotate this before I posted and now it's stuck that way.

Oh my gosh, look at this big present!

Well we went to the ENT and tubes are in our future. July 2nd is tube day. I am sad she has to go under anesthesia, but if it makes her healthier, I'm all for it.

This weekend Mark and I spent our 5 year anniversary in Lincoln for the Wistrom Foundation golf tourney. Friday night our friends, the Kreifels, took Izzy so Mark and I could enjoy the evening. Then Sat. morning Mark golfed and Izzy and I went to visit my friend Shannon and her three kids. It was really good to see them. Shannon hadn't even met Izzy yet, that's how long it had been. Shannon had her oldest daughter when we were in college and I can't believe how grown up she is now. Time goes by sooo fast!

Then we went to our friend Sarah and Poppy's house and played with the toys and the kittys. I think Izzy may have a little feline allergy, but who knows. I'm always trying to figure out what is wrong with her. I need to quit guessing.

Sarah, Poppy, Izzy, and I loaded up and went to the golf course to meet up with the daddy's. Sarah was taking some pictures of the two girls and Poppy just laid Izzy out. It made her mad. Oh did the tears flow.

Izzy has really gotten into mimicking what we do. She chews when we say "chew" and move our mouth, she shakes her head "no" when we do, puts up the "number 1" with her finger when we do, and the latest.....made me laugh. I was trying to get her ready for school and she wouldn't sit still and was crawling everywhere. I was sitting on the floor and firmly pointed my finger into the carpet and said, "Izzy come here right now." She sat her bottom down from a crawling position and started pointing her finger into the carpet. That little stinker! Gotta love her.

Talk soon!
