Isla Turns 1!

On March 15th, 2011 our baby girl turned 1! Wow, that year sure did fly by. We had such a fun time celebrating with friends and family. Elias and Isla are the best of buds! They play together and wrestle all day long. They both truly love one another and love being together!

Our baby girl is ONE!

Her first look at the good stuff! She really enjoyed her cake and stayed true to herself and made sure to rub it in her hair - her signature move!

Luckily, March in San Diego was gorgeous enough to break out the water table and get some farmer tan lines :) Isla has always been a happy baby and remains content and joyful in nature.
