I know, I'm late, I'm a bad mom, but better late then never right?

So Monday was Isabelle's 3rd birthday.  We spent the morning at Disneyland and had fun as a family that night.  I was really tired that night, so I didn't post that day, and I was gone most of yesterday, so I am finally putting up a post in honor of her today.  I love my funky little girl, she has brought lots of laughs into our family, as well as plenty of grief.  She has caused more visits to urgent care then Caleb, and in two and a half years less of living.  So for my Isabelle, Isaboo, Boo boo, Belle or Boo-daisy as she is currently known, Happy Belated Blog Birthday!

My favorite picture of her, less than 24 hours old.
 
Such a happy girl already!



Such fashionable hair!  It came out with frosted tips, like she had just been to the stylist.

6 months old and on the move.

She found these presents on the table, but she had to wait all day to open them!
Our hairstyle for the day.  Quick simple and out of the way.

So we get to Disneyland, and head to the Bank on Main Street to get her her very own pass.  And what happens?  She walks right into the corner of the granite counter inside the bank!  Poor thing!  Its kinda hard to see, but the first aid guy thought she was going to end up with a black eye.  Luckily, he was wrong!  She still has a little bruise, but no black eye to mess up her pictures. 

So sad!!  

She cheered up when she saw the horsies though!

Disneyland was pretty crowded so we headed over to DCA where we hung out in Flik's Fun Fair until it was time to go to lunch.
We met up with Grandma Marcy, or big grandma as the kids say, Aunt Jessy, Aunt Go-Wee (Skylar), and baby Zeke for a fun lunch at Rainforest Cafe.  Isabelle loves blowing out birthday candles.  Whenever she sees a cake, she asks where the fire is.

After lunch we walked back to the parking structure and she conked out before we were even halfway there.  All this and the day was only half over!!

We picked Caleb up (thank you so much Katie for picking him up from school), picked up her cake from ALbertson's and headed home.  She promptly wanted her hair out, her new tiara on (it wouldn't stay on with her hair up) and her princess Belle dress on.  Yeah, her hair gets a little frizzy done up in those tight hairstyles.

When Jared got home from work we asked her what she wanted for dinner, and she said "Chips!"

So we headed to On the Border for some yummy chips, corn dogs (for Belle), quesadillas (for Caleb), and tacos (for mommy and daddy).  Gotta love a restaurant with such an eclectic menu, and unlimited free chips and salsa.

Then we headed home, cause it was finally time to open her presents!!!

Of course she blocked the view so we couldn't really get any good shots.

She wouldn't stop moving around, sorry its a little blurry.  She got an Enchanted vanity set from the Disney store and a new Barbie Mermaid.  She is pretty much in love with Barbies and mermaids, so she was a very happy girl.

And finally, her cake!!  She loves these little doll cakes, and have told her she could have one on her birthday, so she was so excited to finally get one.  Of course, being typical Isabelle, she only ate about one bite.   We had a great day, a very long day, but a very fun one, and I had one very happy girl at the end of it.

What a perfect newborn picture. She is such a cutie. I love her Cake! You're welcome for picking up Caleb, it was not a big deal at all.
