4 and 2 year old photo shoot

We thought she would like a picture with her new bunny purse.  She picked it out herself.  She loves sparkles!

Love it!

I wish it could be like this everyday.  ;)

Cracks me up!  This is shows their personality's perfectly.

I was a bit worried at the start of this session.  Gianna started to cry.  So, we let Isabella go first and by the time it was Gianna's turn, she turned on the smiles.  Needless to say, I was torn by so many good pictures to choose from!

August Visitors

We had some visitors for a couple of weeks.  Aunt Diane, Hannah and Grandma H. came to visit!  We had so much fun with them.  Isabella and Gianna loved having the extra attention from their cousin, Aunt and Grandma.  We miss them already!

We went to the Denver Zoo one day.  It was hot, but fun!

The girls got Hannah to ride on their favorite carousel!

So fun!

Rest to take a picture.

I was taking a picture of Diane and Hannah for them, and Isabella jumped in there too.  HAHA

Too funny!  That's our Gianna!

 We also took them to our neighborhood pool, went shopping and out to eat.  It was a great time!!

Diane and Hannah left us, but Grandma stayed for another week.  The time went by too fast. 

A priceless picture with Grandma.

And....my favorite!! 

Our Baby is 2!

 Our baby, Gianna, is a 2 year old!  She acts like a 4 year old.  I want my baby back.  :)  She has definitely filled our lives with much laughter.  She is so happy go lucky and always smiling....even when she is whining.  I have a feeling she will be our "clown" of the family.  It is crazy how fast she has changed.  She is talking so much now.  It seems like that has happened within the last month.  She loves to dance with Isabella and her favorite toys are her baby dolls.  She will wrap one up in a blanket and feed it a bottle.  Then she will stand and rock it to sleep.  Very cute!

The night of her birthday, we went out for pizza at one of our favorites.  Grandma, Aunt Diane and Hannah were here to visit and celebrate with us!  We had a fun night. 

Her present from Grandma.

 The next day, we had the Martini family over to celebrate Gianna's birthday again.  She loves the "Bubble Guppies" cartoon, so that was her birthday theme this year.  There were a lot of polka dots (bubbles) and a bubble machine to make it all complete.

Thanks to Diane and Hannah for helping me with the decorations.

Sisters having fun!

Bubble time!

Yummy cake!

Saying "cheese"!  She loves the camera.

Gianna was also helping us sing "happy birthday" to her.  I don't know why, but I missed getting it on video.  For those of you that might remember what last year was like with the cake, this year was not as messy.  :)
