Happy 5th Birthday Isabelle

Today is Izzie's 5th birthday and I can't believe I am typing those words. Where has the time gone? It feels just like yesterday this picture was taken...

and today we are taking this picture of our 5 year old...

I am so blessed to be her mommy and I love every minute of it even when there are tough days. She is sassy, loving, caring, hilarious, smart and beautiful! I can't think of enough words to describe her and the girl she has become so far.

She had her birthday party last week and I promise to get those pics on here soon. Tonight we took her to Spaghetti Factory and she was less than thrilled that I had them sing to her!

We then took a carriage ride and she LOVED it! She keeps telling us how much fun that was!

Then as if that was all not exciting enough we headed over to the Science center and had a few hours of fun!

Again where has the time gone?

Dear Isabelle.
On this day baby girl 5 years ago you made me a mommy, something I had been longing for. You filled my heart with more love than I ever thought I could have and I am so blessed to have you for my daughter. This was your hospital picture and you were so beautiful and just precious

and today 5 years later you are still beautiful and so precious and becoming a lovely little girl.

I cannot imagine my life without you or what I ever did before you were in it. 5 years ago today you changed your daddy & my lives forever and we thank God for you and choosing us to be your parents!
 Mommy & daddy love you to the moon and back! Happy 5th Birthday, I can't wait to celebrate many, many more with you!
Love,
Mommy
