Isabelle Turns 12!


Scott and I have spent the last 12 years watching our first born grow and develop into the beautiful and intelligent young girl that she is today. Isabelle has always been in a hurry to grow up. She rolled at 3 months, crawled at 6 and walked at 9. And started talking talking talking! I remember her hounding everyone with "What's that?" by 2 years old. Most of all she has loved to be with people, friends and/or family. Her first friend was a little girl named Heather that lived next door to us. She was a year older but Isabelle didn't have any trouble keeping up! She learned to ride a 2-wheeler at 4 just to keep up with the big kids of the neighborhood. Isabelle was more than ready to go to preschool and kindergarten, going through 5 before finishing elementary school! She has moved 10 times, lived in 4 different states and driven through Canada. She was the first of all the grand kids on both sides of the family and the first "great" on both sides. Most of all, Isabelle has been an amazing big sister, taking on more responsibility at younger ages than most kids ever see. She has always been my big helper and saved me more times than I can count. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father sent her to us. The next several years are going to be an adventure I'm sure but we are going to have a blast along the way! Happy birthday babe, we love you!
