Mothers Day and Meeting Isaac

My sister, Cheree had her second son, about 2 weeks ago, and we've anxiously been waiting to go meet brand new baby Isaac...and see many of our family too!


The kids and I road-tripped up to Chattanooga. They both slept the whole way (a big and wonderful 1st for a road trip)! I was tired from the drive, but really appreciated being about to listen to my own music and no complaints, "when are we there's, or kids movies, etc.....Once we arrived, the celebrating began. There was lots of giggling, running and laughing for Izzy, Levi & Jack, but even more snuggling with the new baby. Izzy was especially obsessed with her new cousin. She did a great job with him and kept finding reasons she needed to hold him.
He is a sweet baby and we were happy to finally meet him. The next day my Dad and brother came, then my Nana from Canada and aunt/uncle/cousins from Nashville came too. It is always nice to see family that is so spread apart.


We made many trips to the parks, and even made it to Coolidge Water Fountain/Park in downtown Chatt. I really like going to Chattanooga as it is a super kid friendly place and we have a great time playing with cousins.




(Izzy got her haircut ! Eek but I liked it.)


It ended up being a mini family reunion over the weekend - but it was great to see everyone!
My parents from AR came. My little Bro, who we miss tons came.
My Nana from Canada and her friends Cathy came. Also, my fun Aunt Becky, Uncle Malvin & favorite half-American cousins, Andrew & Mo came too!

Labor Day Weekend 2010

Another busy weekend has come and gone. It feels like we did so much with our family this weekend, but really we were all able to relax some and enjoy hanging out and playing with Izzy for the weekend. I'm thankful for the extra time with everyone. I just wish we had one more day off to do nothing now! Here are a few pictures to recap the weekend. Grammy made homemade blueberry pancakes while Izzy and Grandpa supervised (and taste-tested) YUM!! I'm pretty sure she said Yum a lot this weekend! Izzy showing Grammy how much she loves to take off and run outside She is growing up too fast - but still cuter than ever! Excited that Cheree and Daniel came too Learning all about Mac Books from Uncle D Laughing when Grandpa makes animal noises, another favorite for Izzy Ahhh ...my daily scene of frustration - wish she would listen to us and NOT stand on chairs every chance she gets...but naturally standing is always more fun than sitting for this daredevil, so we're working on that...

Closer than ever

It was soooooo good to see my brother and sister. I'm glad they will get to see Izzy more too! There is so much to her personality and abilities, it is just too hard to describe her over the phone! Yesterday was a very cool day for me - I got to hang out with my brother, sister and brother in law too... hanging out might not sound like a big deal, but to us, it is exciting because for the first time in a long time - at least 7 years the 3 Voyles siblings all live in the same state. Not just that, but we are only 2 hours away from each other. We have been 10 hours apart for the last 4 years...which meant only visiting each other 3 or 4 times a year - 3 or 4 RUSHED visits is hectic and not enough time together for us. Now with Cheree and Daniel in Chattanooga and we're in Nashville (so is Mark), we're all going to be able to see each other much more often, allowing us days to just "hang out" like we used to. I literally called Cheree and Daniel on Thursday to ask so...
