How i met my hubby

In January  2002 i was attending a church youth group and they all were planning on going on a ''snow retreat'' and everyone pretty much was going. i DIDNT really want to go at all i wasn't really into going to that plus i didnt wanna pay the $100 to go. however someone decided to pay my way because they wanted me to go so i said OK since someone paid for it [lol] well on January 8th-10th was the retreat and we all were supposed to meet up at the church and then i seen Tim there. he wasn't a part of my youth group but a family friend told his grandpa about it and had him go. when i first talked to Tim he was kinda rude to me a little he had a little ''attitude'' which i think was just him playing tough.

anyway everyone had to ride in a few different cars and and he ended up being in the same car as me. so we spent a few hours talking and getting to know each other. i SO wasn't interested in him AT ALL i had no interest in being with him or anything. he even HAD a girlfriend at the time. about 2 hours into the car ride he started getting really flirty with me. and i just went with it wasnt really caring if he was flirting with me. well we stop at this gas station and he offered to buy me whatever i wanted and me being stubborn i said SURE since i didnt wanna use any of my money there LOL! so i thought he was nice i guess

then he was even MORE flirty with me and i kind of flirted back with him a little bit :)

well we get to the snow retreat place and he went off with his friends and such to snow board and since i wasnt into that i just did my own thing. and suddenly i kind of wanted him around me i actually kind of ''missed'' him since we got to know each other a little. a few hours later he came back and i was actually REALLY happy i remember smiling from ear to ear because he was back. 

we walked around and talked even more. of course it was a church thing so the flirting and such was just little things. so the last day  there he had asked me out but i told him NO because he had a girlfriend and i wasnt sure i really wanted to date him.

so we get back to town and we exchanged #'s and aol screen names

later that night we start talking on IM and on the phone such and he had me laughing and feeling ''butterflies'' in my stomach and i couldnt resist that feeling.

he asked me out again. and of course i said no again. i still wasn't sure!

so on January 14th 2002 we were talking on the phone and i started to REALLY like him and by that time i couldn't resist it. i ASKED him out. knowing he still had a girlfriend i didnt care. i wanted him and of course he said yes. he did end up breaking up with his g.f a few days later and she was HEATED about it. but i didnt care. we liked each other and he had no interest in her anymore. he wanted me and only me.

our first picture together! we were 15&16

i was only 15 and he was 16 so we were still so young but we become the BEST of friends as well. we only saw each other on the weekends. until he turned 18. he lived with his grandpa and he was a STRICT man.. tim wanted out of there so My dad said he can come live with us. and so he did. however my parents were strict so he had to have his own room and what not.

on January of 04' the night before my 18th birthday he had asked me to marry him he was so darn cute he got on his knee said how much he loved and adored me and wanted to be with me forever. of course i said yes :)

on June 30th 2005 we said our 'I do's' and have been HAPPILY married every since!!!

i love him SO much and SO glad i went to that snow retreat because then i would have never met my soul mate!!! :)

Isabella Victoria Ruscigno

It was in April of 2009 that i had a feeling that i might just be pregnant. i had peed on several sticks previously because i could have sworn i was pregnant all those times.

however i had 2 extra test so i decided to take them. i waited till it was my FMP which was liek around 445am i took the cheapy dollar store test and i was still SO tired that i wasnt sure i seen anything so i put it in the drawer then go back to bed. around 7am i got up to go pee and i had looked at my test i took earlier and there was a very faint line... i figured it was a evap line since it was past the maximum wait limit so i just decided to take the other test to be sure and then i saw another very faint line but it showed up right away. then i thought it was prob just the test and i wasnt really pregnant.

about 2 days later i had gotten a pack of the first response test and i took it right when i got home which was around 6pm and sure enough a very faint line appeared so i knew i was pregnant but since i had another test i tested yet again the next morning and sure enough  two visable lines.. well to me anyway because Tim swore he didn't see the 2nd line on any of my test lol!

so a few days later we go to planned parenthood and sure enough. i was pregnant. 4 weeks pregnnat and expected to be due in January 22nd 2010! i couldnt believe we were expecting our FOURTH baby!

I had a pretty great pregnancy in the begining i hardly had any morning sickness. only a few times when i didnt eat but boy was i tired a lot

i had my first prenatal apt in June i had a u/s at the same place and same dr i had with my last 3.

i was 9wks 4 days pregnant everything looked great

around 12 weeks i started feeling less tired and i even felt a few flutters it was great i also went in for a fetal scan to check and make sure there was no defects and what not with the baby and of course there was none the baby was perfect and big and moving all over the place.

 everything was going pretty great with my pregnancy i was feeling little movements everyday and was enjoying my pregnancy. i craved everything SWEET i just had to have cake and cookies and anything even tho i had to limit my intakes. we were praying for another little girl to comeplete our family i know it was selfish but i just wanted a little girl SO bad that i would cry when i seen little girl things. i wanted TWO of each it would have been perfect for us!

at 19.5 weeks pregnant we had our BIG u/s by that time i was pretty convinced it was a girl. we had no boy names picked out and EVERYONE told me i was having a girl. everyone felt it as well

so me and Tim and my mom all went to my u/s and i kept looking to see if i could see those 3 lines and prayin that there was no peepee. the tech had measured the babys legs and i seen that the legs were open and i didnt see a peepee i got pretty excited but wasnt getting my hopes up. then the tech was ready to check the sex of our baby but the baby was being a little stinker and kept its legs crossed and then we were finally able to get a few peeks and sure enough it was a GIRL!! i almost started crying because Gods given me my hearts desire he KNEW i wanted a girl and he gaven me another one! the tech checked a few more times and she even mentioned to me that she never saw a peepee when measuring and then right before we stopped the u/s she spread her legs and  we got a perfect shot of her goods lol! 

I was pretty stoked about having a girl it was amazing! 

i started REALLY feeling those kicks at 22 weeks pregnant and always right before i would go to bed.

everything was going great and of course the usual for me i had GD and was put on insulin nothing new to me i was a pro at that for reals! i had some minor aches and pains but nothing to bad. not until i was in 7-8 months pregnant thats when it all started hurting.. nothing great but i expected it all seeing this was my 4th baby.

i did however have HORRIBLE sciatic pains that lasted for HOURS all day until the day i had her. it was horrible and the hearburn was CRAZY! i thought i was going to die because of how painful it was i figured she would have a head full of hair with all that heartburn.

I had went to be seen at 35.6 weeks pregnant i was checked and i was a 3-4cm dialted so i knew i would have my baby at any given time my dr stripped my membranes to help me progress but unlike my last pregnancy it didn't do anything but cause crazy cramping.

Christmas morning i was 36 weeks pregnant and i felt some crazy contractions that lasted 3 hours and they were every 7-8mins apart. i thought this just might be it so i go to the hospital to get checked and the nurse checked me and told me i was 0cm dialted  i was like HUH my dr said i was 3-4 so they sent me home. [[ i had gone back another time after and the nurse again told me i was 0cm dialted]]

at 37wks pregnant i went to my OB apt and i had told my dr what had happened and she checked me and she says im 3-4cm still. i guess because i have an antiror cervix which i guess makes it hard to check dilatation

anyway she decided to strip my membranes yet again to try and see if that will help.which of course didnt! i also tried castor oil to see if that would workd since it did with Ashton and NOPE it didnt i went to 37.5 weeks pregnant and i had decided to take castor oil again. i was in a lot of pain and i was tired and i just wanted my baby out i KNEW i was going to get induced at 38 weeks if i didnt have my baby on my own and i did not want to be induced again so i took some of the oil with a pepsi around 2pm i felt crampy on and off throughout the day with mild contractions. i didnt want to eat anything just incase i go into labor so i had some pineapple i heard that is a natural inducer as well. 8pm came around and i was laying on the couch eating more pineapple when i started getting very painful contraction. i ignored them until 9:30 when they came even stronger and every 7mins apart. i decided to take a hot shower to help the pain and i had to have Tim in there with me just in case.

by that time the contractions were about every 4 mins and they were making me drop to the floor. i STILL didnt want to go to the hospital after being told to go home 3 times priror but Tim insisted that it  was time. so around 1045 we leave to go to the hospital and i managed to walk to the L&D i figured walking would help. when i got there the nurse had hooked me up to the monitors and such and by that time my contractions slowed down a lot it was about every 8 mins. so the nurse checks me and i was  good 5-6cm so i was a keeper. we get to the room and i get the IV's put in and by that time the contractions were harder and 3-4mins aparti asked for the epi but never got one i just stuck it out. they checked me again and i am 8cm so the nurse tells me i can do some little pushes to help with the contractions while she calls for the on call dr. by that time i was in so much pain i was screaming. [[not like in the movies or anything]] but she was crowning she was coming. i gave a ''little'' push and BAM my water breaks all over the place Tim and the nurse jumped back [[LOL]] the nurse quickly grabs her gloves. she didnt even have enough time to grab the sterile gloves and right as she puts her gloves on Isabella Victoria Ruscigno made her grand entrince she was born on January 6,2010 at 11:58 pm! she didn not want to wait for the dr she wanted out so the nurse got to deliver our daughter.

She was 7lbs 12oz 20inches

i had tried breast feeding her for a few feedings until they tested her blood sugars and had told me that her sugars were dangerously low and she needed something quick. so they had to hand pump formula into her for the next several feedings because it was still so low until about later that night they were back to normal *whew* so i tried BF her again then again her levels dropped. so after 9 months of really wanting to breastfeed her i ended up formula feeding her because i was scared.

the fallowing day [january 7] i was feeding her and then a little while after i had went to go change her diaper and i noticed she was turning a dark shade of purple and she wasnt breathing. Tim rushed to get a nurse and they came running in and they picked her up turned her upside down and hit her on her back hard enough to where she finally threw up all the formula and fluids that she was choking on.that was the scariest moment in my life after she was just fine but i held on to her and wouldnt let go.

from the beg of my pregnancy we had decided that it was best for me to get my tubes tied. 4 was enough for us esp since  had 2 of each gender. we were set and complete.

so on the 7th around 12pm they wheeled me to the triage and i remember crying my eyes out. after what just happend to isabella and then me not being able to hold her SCARED me. even tho she was safe with her daddy  i was still scared. anywho they told us that its only going to be 35 mins plus an hour in recovery WELL... it was going on 6pm and i was STILL in recovery.i wasnt able to feel my lower half of my body which SCARED me to pieces. usually you have to be 100% in order to go out of recovery but seeing i was in there for 5 hours and the fact that i was STARVING since all i had to eat was pineapples the ngiht i went into labor.. and the fact that i was CRYING because i missed my baby they decided i can go ahead and go back to my room. i was crying non stop of course i was hormonal and i still couldnt move my legs.they wheeled me back to my room and had to lift me on to my bed. by that time Tim was VERY upset because not one nurse had told him  what was up he had to sit for 5 hours wondering if i was okay. he did not like that. but luckily i was fine. after i was placed in my bed i was able to finally feel my legs about an hour later. and then fully about 3 hours later. i was in some pain but luckily those good ol pain meds did the trick!

i was able to go home on the 8th with my baby girl and start our family of SIX! :)

Ashton Timothy Ruscigno

When our 2nd child was 5 months old me and Tim wanted to add another baby to our family however we were expecting it to take a while seeing it took a while with my first 2 and since life was going great we started TTCing. when it came to February i was feeling VERY nauseated like extremely. and on Feb 10th i took a dollar store pregnancy test just to see and i 'thought' i saw a VERY faint line but i second guessed myself because we JUST started TTC. then on February 13th i had Tim go buy me  some pregnancy test 

they were the equate kind. and so i take 1 and bam theres another semi faint positive. so i took another and sure enough the same thing. i was literally in shock because that meant i got pregnant FIRST ATTEMPT.

we were expecting it to be like 4-5 months lol but nope i got prego the first try.

we were all pretty excited and nervous. you know all those feelings in 1 

I had an O.K pregnancy i guess. i did have bad morning sickness but that went away at 12 weeks!

I did have GD yet again and i was put back on insulin.

The rest of my pregnancy was PAINFUL. i have never had so much pain in my life i believe he was really laying on my pelvic bone because it felt BROKEN i mean it was bad i almost had to crawl to get around. i could roll over in bed or get up without wanting to scream i couldnt even put my pants on because lifting my legs were a killer. not to mention the horrible sciatic pain i was having the whole time as well.

My pregnancy was def the worst then my others

We had our big u/s in June and we found out we were having a boy. i kind of wanted a girl but then again it didn't matter because i already had 1 of each. so when they said boy i was pretty excited about it.

fast forwards to 35 weeks i went into preterm labor yet again and of course they stopped it

and on October 2nd 2008 i had my OB apt i was 36.7 weeks pregnant and i had told my dr about all the pains i was having and she checked me i was 4cm dilated so she went ahead and stripped my membranes to hopefully help things get going. i went home and i was cramping/contracting all day long my apt was at 10am so the crampy/contracting was lasting all day. i walked around my house for as long as i could then i went to bed around 10pm because nothing was progressing.

I wake up around 3am with painful contractions. so i grab my cell phone so i can keep track of the time they're about 4-5 mins apart so i dont want to wake up Tim just yet so i go take a warm bath and as i am sitting there the contractions get to be about 3-4mins apart so i get out and decided i need to wake up Tim. by that time i was in a lot of pain contracting every 3 mins. so i let my parents know that i am off to the hospital so they can watch the kids and we get there and they see that i am very much in labor so they get a wheel chair and wheel me to the ob triage. they nurses hooked me up to the monitors and then they check me and tell me i am 8cm dialted. WHAT i said to tim because we realized we FORGOT our bags lol so they take me to my room and i quickly ask for  the Epidural because i didnt want a natural childbirth i wantded the meds! so about 15mins later i get the epi and boy that was heaven Tim went home real fast to get my bags and my camera and while he was gone Ashtons heart rate was dropping so i had to be put on the oxygen mask for a while. which scared the crap outa Tim when he got back and then saw me w. oxygen. about 25mins later i had felt a lot of pressure in my butt so i told the nurse and she wanted to check me and sure enough i was fully dilated. this was around 6:45am.

they get us all prepped and i was totally feeling everything i had the urge to push but i was afraid cus lifting my legs were TOURTURE but i did it anyway and pushed 3 big pushes and bam there he was Ashton Timothy born on October 3rd 2008 @7:00am 

they laid him on my chest for a while i had tore again so they stitched me up and then awhile later they cleaned him off and he was 7lbs 9oz 21inches. exactly like his big brother. and he was born at 7:00am and his brother was born at 6:57am so my boys resembled that :)

We got to go home the next day since there was no problems with us!

he was such a great newborn baby!

Malachi David Ruscigno

When Khylie was around 5-6months old we had decided we wanted to add another addition to our family we were just ''talking" about the idea of it. so on January 10th 2007 I was sitting outside talking with my hubby when i out of the blue realized that i was 3 days late on my period but i wasnt SURE because i didn't really keep track of my periods. but i was pretty sure that i was late. so a few days later Tim goes out and buys us a pregnancy test and i wasn't going to take it until my FMP so i woke up around 430am because i was so anxious and sure enough there were 2 dark lines. I was actually nervous more then i was excited idk why i was but i was.

in February of 07' i had my first OB apt with the same dr i had my first with. and she did a u/s and it showed that i was 10 weeks 1days pregnant. 

My pregnancy was SO different from Khylies i felt a little sick but i wasnt as bad as my first.

i was SO tired all the time tho.

around 11-12weeks pregnant i had to take the GD testing to see if they can diagnose my diabetes early in pregnancy since i had it previously so i  had to do the 3 hour test [[ughh]] and that came back fine for now.

fast forwards to may i had the big u/s which turned out to be BOY [[i saw even before the tech said anything]] which was NO surprise to me. i had a feeling from day 1 that i was having a boy i just knew in my heart that he was a boy and i was right. Tim and I were very excited to be having a boy since we already had a girl. 

at 26 weeks pregnant i took the GD test again and sure enough i had Gestational Diabetes yet again which was typical we expected it. however this time it was more worse then my first pregnancy. this time i had to be on insulin. it was scary to me. to poke myself in the stomach with a needle once a day before bedtime. i couldn't do it really so i always had Tim do it for me cus i chickened out doing it myself. no fun!

around 35 weeks pregnant yet again i went into pre labor and was at the hospital and they had to give me a pill yet again to stop it.and so it did

fast fowards to 38.5 weeks. My sister Janell has been planning to be here for the birth of Malachi she didnt want to miss it so we tried everything to get me to go into labor, we went for walks, i ate 2 hot bags of cheetos haha! i was already 3cm dialted so i figured why not take the castor oil? seeing its harmless i went to walmart w./ my sister and picked up a bottle of it. i really didnt expect it to work but at 9pm i took 4TBSP of it mixed with pepsi i was having mild contractions all day long so i went to bed.

i woke up from my sleep at 4am with i guess were contractions. seeing i was induced with my first i really didnt know what to expect so i went to the bathroom and saw that there was a ton of blood in the toilet and i freaked out i ran and woke tim up and i said we need to go to the hospital NOW. everyone else was still sound asleep so i quietly woke up my sister and told her that Tim will be right back to get her cus we live RIGHT down the street literally like a 5min car ride from the hospital. 

so we go to the hospital and by that time i am contracting every 2-4mins and they were SO painful they checked me into triage and a nurse checked me and said i was shocked when the nurse said i was 8cm dilated. WHAT? Tim rushed home to go get my bags and my sister while i was getting a room

i wanted the epidural so badly i was in such hard labor so we signed the paperwork and i was getting the Ivs put in. my sister and Tim showed up to help me and they were putting wash cloths on my face and what not and i had the urge to puke so my sister held the bowl while i upchucked 3 times.

at that point i was yelling for the epi i couldnt do it anymore i wanted it so badly. so the dr comes in and checks me and i was still 8cm and so she breaks my water by that time it was around 625am and then i felt this sudden urge to push but i tried not to, a nurse checks me and i am fully dialted. right when the epi guy comes. so of course it was to late. and i had to do it ALL on my own all natural. i was freaking out cus i never felt this pain before it felt like someone had a lighter on my crotch litterally.

well i felt the need to push again since my dr was there and ready i pushed and i pushed 2 big pushes and bam Malachi David Ruscigno was born at 6:57am on September 4th 2007

they quickly laid him on my chest for about an hour and then they cleaned him up with Tims help and weighed him. he was 7lbs 9oz 21inches. he was SO tiny for being 7lbs he looked and felt like he was 5lbs because of my insulin he didn't have much meat on his bones so he was just really long and lean which was why he was 7lbs. 

everything went great until they told me that he has a heart murmer. me and Tim looked at each other with such fear in our eyes as we were told something might be wrong with our sons heart.

the dr informed us that it was normal and it can possibly go away on its own. so we stayed and extra night just to be sure, and sure enough it DID go away thank the Lord. 

we were able to go home a few hours later!

well that's the story w/ Malachi David :)

Khylie Hannah Ruscigno

Me & Tim always wanted children but just never really thought it would Actually happen

after a few negative pregnancy test i just figured it would take a while and didn't really expect much more then  that. in august 2005 i was feeling a little nauseated and i had headaches but i really didnt even think anything at all of them then we had a BBQ with some neighbors and someone brought over some green stuffed peppers and the smell made me SICK to my stomach right then i went HMM could i be pregnant? but my period wasn't due till around the end of the month i believe so i didnt test or anything & later that night we were going to the fairgrounds and we had stopped at the gas station and i got a soda and i spilled it ALL over me so we drove back to the house and i spend 20 mins trying to find something to wear i started crying out of no where because nothing really fit me and i was just overly emotional.

fast forwards to the 23rd of August. i was just sitting at my computer doing nothing i was feeling just fine and i had remembered i had 1 pregnancy test left and i was bored so i said WTH ill just take one...

i go to the bathroom and pee on the first response then all of a sudden TWO very dark lines appeared and i remember saying NO WAY OH MY GOD my face light up then a few seconds later i felt really scared/nervous and in shock cus i honestly wasn't expecting it. when i told Tim that we were going to have a baby he was very happy and very excited.

I had horrible i mean horrible morning sickness it was bad i threw up everything 

I made my first apt around July and they did my first u/s a transvaginal one which was ODD to me LOL wasn't excpecting to be probed w. a hgue white stick lol but we saw our baby and i was in so much AWE it was amazing. i was 8 weeks pregnant. i remember thinking what if this is fake what if im not pregnant and id always look at those u/s pics! lol

fast forwards to December 27th 2005 we got to find out the sex of our baby [[ill be honest and say i was hoping or a BOY the whole time]] but once the tech said girl my heart melted i was in love with her so much.

i did develop Gestational Diabetes with my pregnancy but i controlled it very well. having to prick my fingers 4 times a day sucked but i did it anyway!

when i was 8 months pregnant i started itching really badly all over my legs and upper thighs but i thought it was just ''normal'' until i got this dark red hicky like marks thats when Tim told me i HAD to tell my dr. so at my next apt i did and she said hmm and i got blood test done

the next day was scary. i got a phone call from the drs office and the nurse said ''Ashley i dont want to scare you but you need to come in NOW'' i still remember my heart racing. so me and Tim go and my dr said i have Cholestatis which is a rare condition only a few woman get in their pregnancies. they did a u/ s on me and everything looked good however my dr told me that my liver was producing harmful toxins to the babys fluid and that she can die at anytime but she was going to give me pills to keep her fluid from being infected. my gosh i remember being so scared. my dr then told me that she will have to induce me when i am 37 weeks because the risk of letting me go t 40 was way to risky. i was fine with the induction because it meant i get my baby out safe. my dr told me i had to SERIOUSLY do kick counts everyday and if i dont feel a kick i need to go in. and sure enough i didnt feel a single thing for HOURS i was crying because i had thought my baby girl had died. i went into the office and they did a NST and the baby was just fine *whew* i felt stupid but my dr said ''Ashley i dont care how many times you come into my office i care for you and your baby so you come in as much as needed'' that made me feel better!

@ 35wks pregnant i was really ''crampy'' so we went to l&d and they said i was 1cm dialted and was having contractions i had no clue i thought they were just cramps so they gave me a pill to stop it and it did.

on April 14th 2006 i woke up at 5am and had to call L&D to make sure there was a room for me and they told me to come in at 7am. so me and Tim load the car up and on our way we go. i remember talking to him about khylie we were s nervous.

we get to the hospital and go up to L&D they give me a room and i get my robe on and such we sat there untill about 10am when they finally get the induction started they gave me an IV of pitocin and i didnt feel a thing i got a little crampy but not contractions so around 2pm my dr decided to pop my bag of water and omg it was weird it felt like i was peeing lol. then the HARD contractions hit every 3 mins so i decided to get on the birthing ball and oh my water was everywhere i mean from the end of the room all the way to the door and it was a huge room lol by that time i was in so much pain i asked for the epidural then around 20mins later they checked me and i was 3-4cm dilated so i was going perfectly i got the epi and i felt great. thats when my parents showed up. i HAD to have my mom w/ me so it was 1 hour later at 4:15pm a nurse came in and she was like WOW look at those charts i couldnt feel a thing and she goes i am going to check you just to be sure. and sure enough i was 9CM. i went from 3-4cm to 9 in 1 hour. my heart was shaking. this was it shes on her way. my dr got everything all ready and told me to push. i had no idea how to or anything so we pushed through my contractions that we could see from the monitor i pushed for about a good 15 mins then bam. Khylie Hannah Ruscigno was born.i did tare and had to have 7 stiches. they  placed her on my chest right after for a good hour as i couldnt keep my eyes off of her. about an hour later they cleaned her off and weighed her and she was 8lbs 110z 21inches.

 she was a big girl for being born 3 weeks early. they told me i had to get up and see if i can pee on my own and ugh i blood was everywhere. and i sat in the shower to clean myself and i was so scared of how swollen i was down there. i got all cleaned and then we gave Khylie her first bath. Tim got to help with that he actually brushed her little hair and everything. it was perfect. she was perfectly fine our baby girl.

we got to go home 2 days later which was on Easter Sunday!! what a great Easter gift.

those first few weeks were tiring and scary and exciting and nervwrecking but i will always remember.

well that was my birth story w/ Khylie Hanah and from then on our lives were changed :)

we have a ONE year old in our fambam :)

Today our youngest baby girl had a BIG day! she turned ONE YEAR! i cannot believe how fast this past year flew she is such an amazing little girl who melts the hearts around her! she is beautiful BEYOND measure and i am so PROUD and BLESSED to have her as my daughter.

She had an amazing first birthday. we didn't really have a ''party'' because well we really don't have family here [yet] so for the family that is here were just did a little thing to celebrate her special day.

we took her to Mcdonalds today and she had her first happy meal however she only ate the chicken nuggets LOL! :) then we did some shopping and got her all her gifts and her cake and balloons!

since her birthday is right after Christmas we didn't get her a WHOLE lot but she did get a few toys,new shoes,2 pars of jammies and 3 outfits so i think she made out pretty good :)

she wasn't TOO into opening her gifts she really only focused of the Balloons that her brothers were playing with she had no interest in her gifts at first haha! and her cake she LOVED it. at first she was really unsure of it and being all neat with it but as soon as she tasted that yummy cake she dug right in haha! and her daddy was lucky because he was on the one to clean her alllll up haha :P

so all in all our Isabella Victoria had a very great birthday!!! i hope this year brings her nothing but the best!!

here's a few pictures of her special day!
