{Isabella on her birthday}
As many of you know this past Tuesday, January 17, 2012 was Isabella's first birthday! (btw thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes) Though we were so happy to have Isabella turn one the day took a sharp turn when my stomach ache turned into the stomach flu which got both Casey and Isabella sick so the rest of her birthday was spent laying in bed trying not to vomit (sorry if tmi). When we all felt better we finally got to celebrate Isa's birthday, even though it was a few days after her actual birthday. Her favorite burgers were made and fries with a custom cupcake cake made for her (by Hannah) and ending the night watching her favorite movie Tangled. As nice as it was to celebrate her birthday in a small way and have a birthday party with some of my family from Arizona, I wish we would have been able to give her a birthday party with all her family and friends.

Speaking of family from Arizona. I haven't seen some of them in almost 7years! My Tia Lorraine (aunt lorraine) hasn't changed which was nice but 5 of my youngest cousins really grew up! It's so weird seeing kids that were not even a year old to 6 years old and not even to your hip seem to grow overnight like weeds and surpass you! I still can't believe my cousins Anthony and Xavier have mustaches! Only 2 years ago they were in elementary school climbing the trees in my parents back yard and now one is Pauly D obsessed and the other is a licensed boxer! Another couple of years and they'll be driving to Tennessee and New Jersey to visit us from Arizona! Looking at them really makes me wish Isabella could stay little and cuddly forever!
