Izzy is 2!!

My sweet Isabelle turned 2 years old on July 3rd! I know it's cliche...but time really does fly!! Maybe it's because she's still so small or because she is still so cuddly and clingy with me...but she still seems like a little baby to me. *sigh* But my babies are indeed growing up! We decided to celebrate her birthday on the 4th since much of the Gibson family would be congregating at Great Grandma's house anyway. It was so much fun! In fact, I don't know what was more fun...watching Brooklynn help Izzy open her gifts...or watching Russ and Uncle Mike act like little kids while playing with fireworks!!! Man...they are a scary duo when explosives are invlolved!! :)

Let me introduce you to "the cheesy grin"...

and to "the stink eye"!

Suprise!

In April, Russ and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary, but June 29th marked our 7th anniversary of when we were sealed together in the temple. My sweet in-laws invited us to have dinner with them to celebrate, but when we pulled into the driveway...we saw many cars and trucks that took a moment for us to recognize. The dinner turned out to be a big suprise party for us!! It was so sweet and lots of fun...not to mention yummy!!! My sis-in-law Tara made this gorgeous cake in likeness of the Nashville Temple...isn't she talented?!?! Thank you all for your friendship, support and love. We are truly blessed!!

I just had to show you my cute nephews, Garret & Michael.

As you can see, all Michael wants for summer is his 2 front teeth!
