Zoo

Last Saturday, Justin took Izzy to the zoo for the first time! They went with his sister Lori, brother Blaise and his daughter Gianna (4). It was the perfect sunny beautiful day for December. The jaguar gave them a good show. It was running back and forth in front of them and them jumped onto a branch. Justin said Izzy was having a blast tracking the Jaguar. Izzy was a perfect little girl for her daddy! Gianna was a bit jealous becuase Izzy was getting a lot of the attention. On the way home, Gianna had enough of that baby named Isabella! She picked her nose and was flicking the boogers at Izzy! HA! I laughed so hard when I heard this. Poor Izzy. She had no idea what is going on! We love you Gianna...even if you flick boogers at your baby cousin! No more though, okay?!

Hiatt Family Christmas

We have had a busy month...as usual! The first weekend in December was my families annual Christmas party. Our family has grown so much. This year there were three new additions to our family. Natalie who is 8mo., Izzy 6mo., and Trey 2mo. Both Tala and Sarah came up for the party. We have been spoiled to see Sarah so much this year with Izzy and Trey's births. Next year hopefully she will be home a lot as well...she can't miss their first birthdays! I'm so excited for Christmas this year. Christmas is so much fun with children. We get to experience it again through Izzy now that the boys are getting older. They are always with their mom on Christmas morning too, so this year will be especially fun to wake up with Izzy! Trey, Izzy, Great Grandma Hiatt, and NatalieGrandma, babies, and all her children together. Ty (19), Tala (27), Me(28), Sarah (31)

Izzy opening her first Christmas present from Aunt Tala and Uncle Brian. Books!!!! We love books! She was very curious about the gift. More interested in the paper more than anything.

What have we been up too?

Once again...I've been a horrible blogger. I don't know why. The boys lost in the championship football games, 2nd place out of 32 teams is great though! Both teams had articles in the Kirkland Reporter. Isaiah is pictured under the "A", #94. Tyson is third one in from left in the front row, #22. They both had a really fun year and LOVE football.

Watching Tyson's game bundled up in the sweater my Aunt Polly knitted her.

Not much new with Izzy. She is eating cereal now. The first time she did NOT like it, but it seems to be growing on her. Izzy is full of laughs and hugs lately! I love it! She is still waking up a few times a night. Ugh! We have tried different things that friends and family have suggested like giving her cereal, cereal in a bottle with extra milk and nursing, staying up later, etc. Nothing has worked. Maybe it is time to have her cry it out? Not looking forward to that! Her favorite toy... tags! She loves tags and will seek them out on all her toys, blankets, etc.

Justin and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary on November 11th! We went out to Daniel's for dinner while Grandma Meredie was home with Tyson and Izzy. My friend Erin took our family pictures at the end of November. They turned out awesome! She took over 400 pictures so it has been really hard choosing our favorites! I highly recommend her if anyone is looking for a photographer. She was fantastic with our "crazy crew". I mean crazy too! Roy had his "lipstick" out the entire time, Justin was crackin his normal sick humorous jokes, and the boys joined in. I love my family. It was actually the best time we have had all together in a long time. We hosted Thanksgiving at our house. We had 12 people in all: Justin's parents, his 3 brothers, and sister, my sister Tala and her husband and son, my mom. It was great to be all together. We played games, drank, and stuffed our selves. Then on Friday we went to my step-dad's for dinner. To end the weekend, on Saturday we had a friend's Thanksgiving at the Haigh's house. It was a wonderful weekend.Grandma and 2 of 4 grandchildrenTrey curled up with his daddy and dog. "Friends Thanksgiving"
