Come Back to Texas - Denton County is waiting for you

So we are finally back from Utah - I guess we have been home for a week, but I have just been enjoying getting back into routine. Our camera was broken while we were there, so I have no pictures until I get some from family! Most of the trip was hard because Isabella just wasn't herself being away from home and around so many people she didn't know (conclusion, never take a toddler on vacation again!). But we did love getting to see everyone! Here are a few things Bella learned on vacation -
the word "no"
"that's mine" (which is now a game that we play)
how to pretend shoot a gun with gun noises, including how to fall on the ground and pretend die, hilarious (thanks Devin)
and how to pull hair! Actually the pulling hair was partially because she was driving my niece, Amanda (who is 3), crazy with hugs, so when Amanda pushed her away, Isy would pull her hair and we would put her in time out and make her give Amanda a hug to say sorry. So she started taking a short cut and pulling Amanda's hair and immediately giving her a hug. Poor Amanda!! Bella loved her though and wanted to do whatever she was doing!

She loved Grandma Diane's dog, Pepper.

But her favorite thing was riding the bikes and tricycles that all of the cousins had. She is now completely obsessed! She cries for them forever, like at least 30 minutes when you take her away from them! Needless to say, we are going to buy her one as soon as we have money!

Yay, welcome back. we've missed you guys. Tyson got a bike for his birthday and loves it. He doesn't know how to pedal, but the one we got has a bar for the parents to push the kid around like on a stroller or something. it was around $48 at Walmart, but some were cheaper.
