22-24

My mom has been bringing over things from her basement so they can finish it. She's been finding so many interesting things. I had so many toys I barely played with or I just wanted to "display." This is one of them. A Barbie in a wheelchair.


Izze still lines things up. Probably always will. There's always a reason for the order too.


My pretty girl.

Days 14- 21

Izze's "pink drink" and plastic tiara.


Having a late night. We put up Izze's tent in our living room.


I don't love when late nights turn into early mornings.


Ready for February to be here.


Izze loves gymnastics. I'm so happy we enrolled her here.


Izze's fish Oliver


So fresh and so clean!


defy gravity

10, 11, 12, 13

I'm actually up to date still. I just haven't uploaded the pictures from the last 6 days! :)


Day 10. Blue Carrot Cake. Izze insisted Jeremy use blue frosting on the carrot cake we took to my mom's for dinner. Blue food tastes better anyway.



Not the greatest picture... but I was so proud of making these bow holders and organizing Izze's bows finally. This isn't even all of them, she has one more long one for the little clips and Gymboree bows and a bucket full of other hair accessories.


I really should be more creative with this photos... I just haven't a lot of motivation, but I should start what I finish. :) Izze got a hair cut, for some reason I can't explain what I really want even though I say, "I don't want it to look like everyone else's bob cut, I want it much longer in front." They can't seem to accomplish it. But she's still very cute and her hair will be back to her shoulders by summer.


Getting ready for the day. She's so funny.

4,5,6,7,8,9....

9 days in and I'm still good to go. :)


Izze has a very sensitive tummy, usually we can expect her to catch a bug twice before she's over it.


This time, she passed it on...


Jeremy had to call in to work. He NEVER EVER does that. Poor Parkin Fam.


Izze loves this keyboard she got for Christmas from my mom and dad. She's got her drum set next to it and she could switch back and forth all day... luckily we have a "no instruments after dark without permission rule."


Izze thinks naps aren't cool anymore, she gave them up in the summer. But every now and then she has to give in.


I finally buckled down and made some korker bows. I'm so happy, I think I'm addicted. Izze's panda friend let us model our new bows on him.

2010

I'm giving it a go again. :)
I want to finish things I start. I'm feeling like I can do it this year. I've had a rocky start, remembering to take pictures, because we've stayed up really late every night with Jeremy's family. But I've managed to get somethings.

Day 1:

Ringing in the new year.

Day 2:

On our late night adventures with Jeremy's family, we've been playing all sorts of fun games.

Day 3:

Our old key rack. My keys are big and bulky and show just how much of a kid I'll always be, and Jeremy's are simple and all business. :)

I'm really motivated and excited to finish this this year. This will be my fourth attempt, the last three ending after about 3 months each.
