Haircut #2!

Who would have thought that Izzy would have Haircut #2 at 7 months! I just love all of that hair! It totally matches her personality. The other girls at the salon thought she was tres chic!

Izzy's First Thanksgiving

Izzy had a wonderful time at her first Thanksgiving! Grandma T watched her in the morning while Devan and I ran the "Human Race" in Draper. It was so much fun- cold- but fun. Then, we met up with family for the rest of the day. The food was fantastic and Izzy loved being the center of attention. Later that night, Izzy had her first sleep-over at Grandma and Grandpa G's. Devan and I slept over too- that is- until we got up at 3am to go shopping!!!! It was a great holiday.

The Garcia's in Wonderland

Down the rabbit hole we GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

We LOVE Halloween and this year is no exception! We couldn't resist dressing up with our little "Alice." As you can see, Devan is the perfect Mad Hatter and we all know I was born to play the Queen of Hearts! We hope all of our friends and family have a great Halloween.

Scarecrow Festival

Izzy was definitely the cutest "pumpkin" at the scarecrow festival at Thanksgiving Point. There were so many fun activities there for kids. It was a great family outing!

Lunch with Grandma Dee

"Grandma" Dee baby-sat my brother and I when we were little. It is so fun to see her now play with my baby! Izzy loved having lunch today with her "Great-grandma" Dee.

Mommy Makes Me Laugh

We LOVE to make Izzy laugh. When she thinks something is really funny, she gets a little bit deeper laugh that isn't really a giggle. This video is the closet I have been able to get to capturing it!

Izzy at 5 Months

Even though we will get Izzy's 6-month pictures back soon, I just loved her 5 month photos. So- I thought I would share a few of my favorites on my blog before I go crazy with all of the Halloween pics.

Little Hockey Fan

Izzy is already a HUGE hockey fan! She loves to watch Devan play roller-hockey and she sticks her tongue out at the competition!

Halloween Brunch

Of course, Izzy can't have just one Halloween costume. She needs two! One to trick-or-treat and the other for entertaining. We had brunch last Sunday with Izzy's godparents, Adriana and Ryan and it was so fun. We love hanging out with those guys. Plus, Izzy was very excited to entertain as a little pumpkin

Yummy

We started feeding Izzy rice cereal for the first time last month and she loves it! It is so cute to watch her experience new tastes and textures. We have since made our own sweet potato puree that she like too! I told her it will taste much better with marshmallows on top. We like to put her in her own special chair on the kitchen counter that also has a fun rain forrest toy she gets to play with before and after she eats. I have two cookbooks that show you how to make your own baby food so I am really excited to try some of the recipes. How hard can mush really be?

A Lava Lava Birthday

We had a great time in Lava Hot Springs (Idaho) for Devan's brother's (Dustin's) birthday. It was also Izzy's first time camping. She did considerably better than her godmother did the first time we took her camping. :)

Grandma's Birthday in Snowbird

We celebrated my mom's birthday in Snowbird this year. It was so beautiful!
