She sits...and the boys score!

Last weekend I told Justin that by next weekend I bet Izzy will be sitting up on her own. Sure enough...by Thursday she was sitting up! AMAZING! She is so cute and so much fun right now. She loves her brothers and dad. I will spend all day trying to get her to smile and they come in the door and say "hi Izzy" and she goes nuts with excitement! I really wouldn't have it any other way though. It is pretty cool to watch her interact with her brothers and dad. We've hit a bump in our sleeping. Izzy was sleeping from 7:30pm-4am straight and now she is up every three hours once she is down. I'm very tired. Any advice from you mommies out there? She loves to play with and eat her feet!Roy and Izzy have been interested in each other more and more...so cute!Both boys' football teams won this weekend!!!! We are moving on to the finals for the Greater Eastside Junior Football Association (GEJF). So exciting! Isaiah's game is at 9am at Mt. Si in North Bend vs. Eastlake on Saturday and Tyson's is at 4pm vs. Bellevue location TBD. We would LOVE friends and family to come cheer on the Kangs if you can! What an amazing season for the boys! Tons of fun for Justin and I too.

Honey Bee Baby...

On Halloween we had football for both boys, so naturally Izzy was dressed up in her honey bee costume for both games. It certainly kept her warm on such a cool day and she was a big hit with the crowd. Both boys' teams made it to the playoffs...Tyson's team is still undefeated and Isaiah's team came in first place for the regular season and going strong. This Saturday marks the semi finals for both teams. If we win, then we move on to the finals! SO exciting for both boys. Our family LOVES football! After football, Isaiah (who was an alien) had a couple friends over to trick or treat and Tyson being 13 now headed off to a friends house to hang out. 13? I know! Aunt Stacy

Uncle Ty and Katie.Best Friends and Champs...Jake and Tyson

On Friday,we stopped by Justin's work to show off the honey bee. We were able to see Carter and Chloe Thurik dressed as a dalmatian and kitty. Also posed with Uncle Blaise.

Sunday, we visited with Auntie Trina and the girls. Izzy loves Grace and Chloe! They are really great with her too. Too much time had gone by without seeing Auntie Trina and the girls. Soon they will be off to Hawaii were Trina's fiance Justin has been relocated for the Marines. We will miss them SO much, but will have a place to stay in Hawaii when we come to visit this summer!

What a whirl wind of a month. I can't believe that it is the end of October already. I have been super busy with school conferences and all of us have been sick in some form or another. Before the weather turned poor, we hit Greenlake a couple of times. Greenlake is one of our favorite places to go. Justin and I started going there shortly after we met and it was actually our first "date" with Tyson six years ago! It's been a lot of fun walking around the lake with Izzy. She loves it! We love watching her take EVERYTHING in. Roy LOVES Greenlake too. He gets to go swimming, which is his favorite thing to do. Not sure if we will get anymore Greenlake days in now that the weather is cold and wet.

Here are some random shots of Izzy that I just couldn't resist posting. She is so cute and a ton of fun! She is such a easy going baby. She has been extra cuddly since she has been sick...she isn't much of a cuddler normally. She is too busy experiencing everything else. I'm trying to soak up all that cuddle time while I can! Izzy found her feet and of course loves them! They are in her mouth more than her hands. I guess now is the only time that is acceptable...get those toes Izzy! We had her 4 month check up today and she weighs 14 obs. 11.5oz (75-90%), 25inches long (75-90%) and her head circumference is 41.2cm (50-75%). She is growing very nicely. She is getting stronger and stronger each day. I swear she changes each day too. Such a love bug.

Pouty face...melts my heart.

Justin called me upstairs...Izzy was watching Sesame Street. Zoned in! So cute.

Auntie Dett- My Big Sis in my sorority came to visit.

Tala's best friend got married the day after Trey was born. Tala was her maid of honor and was not able to go to the wedding. We went to represent. Jo was a stunning bride. I cried when I saw her she was that beautiful. Izzy's first formal function. Grandma of course outfitted her in an adorable pink dress. She had patten leather shoes too. Izzy is fascinated by Justin right now! I love watching them interact. She can't get enough of him!

We headed to Portland to visit Tala and meet Trey. He is so adorable and slept through the night a few times! I can't believe it! Of course Izzy was out of sorts being away from home, so she was up every 3 hours each night. It was like I had the newborn instead of Tala. Aunt Sarah was in town too! Always fun times when the three of us girls get to be together.

Wearing her witch Halloween socks and bib...Thanks Grandma! I swear every outfit she is in is from Grandma! SO SPOILED!

AHHHH! At last I hold my nephew!

The ever expanding Larson clan...when will Sarah join us???? :)

Cousins. Trey is very big by the way. He weighed 9.3 at birth. His hands and feet are bigger than Izzy's!

Grandpa

Auntie Megs- My Little Sis in my sorority and Tala's best friend was down in Portland with us. She is very good with both babies!

Sleeping momma. Snuggle time. I miss those days!

Introducing Trey Eldon Jones...

Tala delivered Trey Eldon Jones, a healthy baby boy via cesarean today at 11:55am. He weighed in at 9 pounds 3 ounces and is 20 inches long! What is with us Larson girls having such BIG babies? I think Sarah is scared out of her wits to have a baby now after seeing what we can produce! Tala, Trey, and Brian are all doing great. They all three are falling madly in love with each other. Tala and Brian are amazing parents! I'll leave the details of the labor up to Tala to share. I think she may be starting a blog.... what a great first post it will be!

New Tala Update...

Tala is still in labor...last I heard she was only dilated to 2 and 85% effaced. They had given her pitocin this evening to speed things up, but no such luck. They have slowed down on things to give Tala a break. They will start back up with drugs again at midnight. Oh boy oh boy...come on Trey!!!s

Almost forgot...I'm still in Seattle. :( The hospital will only allow two people to be visitors of Tala's. That means her husband and my mom. I guess they are taking precautions with H1N1 going around. We are headed down tomorrow evening and will wait for her to come home. So bummed. I guess it is best though. I'm sure she is absolutely exhausted and the quieter the better.

Tala update

Tala's water broke at 6:30 this morning!!! Izzy and I are headed down after school today!!! I'll post again soon! Pray for a smooth delivery and a healthy momma and baby.

Giggles

I got Izzy to giggle (if that is what you call them) several times in a row, but only if I said a magic word...
