I am so thankful today for the 87 degree weather. It is so nice to be outside on our deck. Plus, Isabella loves playing in her inflatable pool. It is funny though, 2 years ago I would have been out there with my bathing suit trying to work on my tan. What happens to us when we have children? That is not even important any more.

Today we have at least a foot of snow which is beautiful. It is Valentine's Day and I opened my gift from Tyler. It is the movie Fireproof. If you have not seen this movie yet, I recommend it highly.

Isabella Goes Bananas! Happy 8 Month Birthday!
Isabella is now an 8 month old baby! Happy 8 Month Birthday, baby girl! Favorite thing this week? Frozen Banana Smoothies. We visited Lake Tahoe with Isabella for our 9 year anniversary this week.
