Margarita girl!

The other day, it was pretty hot outside, and my pregnant self was craving something sweet and frozen. So what did we do? We made frozen margaritas, ole! Non-alchoholic of course. Isabel saw what we made and wanted to try it. I didn't think she would like it because of the salt and they were pretty tart. But to my surprise, she was hooked. She keep yelling at us to give her another drink, it was so funny to watch. She didn't even pucker up her face. Come to think of it, David gives her some lemons when we get lemon water at a restuarant and she doesn't even pucker when she eats them, she actually likes them. Maybe she has so crazy sour taste buds that make things taste awesome. She is such a funny girl!


Her hair is now long enough on the sides we can do some crazy pigtails. She still doesn't like to get her hair done very much, so it is a wrestling match to get her to hold still. This was the end result, doesn't it make her look so sassy? We went to the zoo this week with some friends. She is really starting to enjoy looking at all the animals. She makes the same noise for every animal, but at least she knows that they make noises, we will work on distinguishing the sounds later. She really enjoyed the giraffes and the fishes. There is a bridge you go over a murky pond with tons of those big goldfish. She kept trying to leap out of my arms over the edge. I was a little nervous that she may actually get loose. She is such a squirmer. She also liked this peacock that was showing off for us. She would point at it and make her animal noise.

Here is a little video of her making an animal noise at the zoo. I think we were by the merry go round and peacocks kept walking by, so she was talking to them. Isabel also does this little dance move where she shakes back and forth. It started one day when I told her to shake some toy she had and instead she got her groove on. So now everytime we say "shake it" she starts dancing like crazy, it is so funny. Enjoy watching her shake what her mama gave her!

Wow, she is sooo big! I can't believe how much she has changed in just a month! Shelooks like a little girl, not a baby! Yikes, what does that mean for Conner?! Still feel like he's my baby. Looks like Omaha is great! Glad you're having fun!

Yeah! I didn't know about your blog! And I didn't know you were pregnant! Congrats. I think Kachelle is like 14 weeks along too. FUN! Your girl must be a "Gillespie"- grannie and all our parents drank lemonaid all the time, and they put salt in instead of sugar (to keep it sour.) We do that in our fam too, do you guys? Also, we have some friends going out there for dental school (Dave & Rena Chesser) you'll have to keep your eyes out for them.

If I didn't know better that top picture would look like you were turning your little girl into a lush. Oh, and I love her pig-tail hair do. Hope all is well and you guys are enjoying the summer!
