General Update
Let's see. For Jeff, I pretty much already updated for him. I'm hoping basic training is going great for him!
My update, I start a new job tomorrow! I'm going to be watching an 18 month old boy, 3 days a week for about 10 hours. Its going to be fun! For me and for Isabella. I'm still going to be working at Red Robin too, but since I only work 2 days a week there, its not going to be too bad working both!
Isabella is starting to walk!! She still gets a little wobbly and falls, but she's getting it. I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time! My baby girl is growing too fast! She's almost a year old! Its scary!! But I love it. She learns so much all the time. She can say hi, mama and dada. I'm trying to teach her to say bye, but she just still says hi. Its funny. I've got her birthday party all planned, it should be fun! Lots and lots of fun. And I'm keeping my eye on the weather for her party, since its outside and so far its supposed to be nice. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed!! We go tomorrow to get her birthday pictures taken! I want to have them up for her party, so we're taking them so early so that there's plenty of time for her to get them edited how she wants. Since Jeff won't be here for her birthday, I've got a surprised planned for him for her pictures. I'm really excited about it.
Well, that's about it for now. There's not really a whole lot going on right now. Here are a few random pictures from this summer.
Isabella's 46 week picture.
Swimming in her princess pool!
She got her face painted at Julie's work party.

Duck Race
On Saturday we went to to the Duck Race down on the Greenbelt. It was a lot of fun, but really hot! Isabella had a good time pushing her stroller across the grass. It was so cute, she really got into it and was SO determined to push it. It was a little hard to push in the grass, so she really had to try to push it.
Barney's hot spring
My sister in law, Kelly, lives out in Howe, and not too far away from their house, is a small waist deep hot springs. So Isabella and I drove out there for a visit a couple weeks ago, and went swimming and ate dinner with them. It was really fun to hang out with them, and to chat with Kelly. Here are pictures of our swimming trip. 
Then about a week later, Kelly and her boys came and stayed a night with us. It was really fun, especially for Isabella to have people here to spend time with! She had so much fun with them. Then, before Kelly and her family left to go home, we drank some together, we tried a chocolate covered cherry shot (SO good), white russians, and a pineapple upside down cake martini! We both got a little drunk, but it was fun! But Kelly's husband, Steve, had to work the next morning, so they had to get going home, so he drove since Kelly really couldn't. haha That was really the first time I've drank since having Isabella. Not that I've ever been a big drinker, but still. :)
It's been fun being able to hang out with them! Isabella has so much fun with the boys, I'm really glad she's getting all this time to spend with her cousins!

Jeff in basic training
I can't believe I haven't even posted this yet. He's been gone more than a month, and I'm just now getting to it! Lazy lazy me... haha
Jeff left here July 11 to go to Montana, where he had to get a physical, and do MEPs again just like he did a few months ago. Then at the end of that week, he went down to Georgia. He was stuck in processing for another week and actually went into basic training on July 23. I've gotten quite a few letters from him, basic doesn't seem to be as bad as he thought. Which is good. He says its insanely hot there, which I can only imagine. He misses Isabella, and it makes me sad. He's really afraid she will forget him, and he says it in every letter. I know she won't and I know she misses him, and it makes me sad that he is feeling that way. He can't shave his head, he can only get the haircuts with everyone else. Which I wish I could see because I've never seen him with hair, and I know he hates it. haha
His graduation is October 29, and Isabella plan on going. I'm really nervous about flying with just me and her. I've never even flown by myself really, there's always at least been someone else I know on the plane. Plus with all of the stuff I'm going to have to take for her. Ahhhh. I hope it works out. I really want the rest of this time to fly by. I hate having to wait for letters. Although, I will be getting a weekly phone call from now on, so I'm happy about that at least!!
