The Tooth Fairy Cometh!

Shame on Mommy! This tooth came out last Thursday but I just haven't had a moment to post it. Had 2 parties this weekend and have 2 more this coming weekend. Busy time of year! Anyway, better late than never!

Here is the letter that the Tooth Fairy left for Ms. Izabella. She came and got me and read the whole thing at the top of her lungs and with her eyes popping out of her head. It was a moment! She's working on her other loose teeth in hopes of cashing in before Christmas.

The Sharks!

Here's a picture of the whole soccer team for this season. I hope she liked it enough to do it again next year. We had so much fun and right as the season was ending, they were really starting to improve so much. From left to right top row: Coach Bob, his daughter Alyssa, Princess Izabella, Jackson, Coach Andrew. Left to right bottom row: Hunter, Pricess Christina, James, Carter and Jack. Jack had a crush on Christina the whole season and by the end of the season, Christina was saying she had a crush on Jack. They all ranged in age from 4-5 but Izabella and Christina were the oldest and the only 2 already in school. Enjoy!

Plain ol' silly!

Just feeling silly today! I've been off work since early Wed afternoon. Didn't really leave the house for a couple days, just cooked turkey and the usual stuff for Thanksgiving. Over ate, as usual and just couldn't get off the couch. And then there's Izabella would couldn't stop talking and moving or running and playing. She just couldn't understand why we were in a coma. We finally got out yesterday and tried to do some shopping. We ended up meeting a friend who was trying to help momma find something to wear to her Christmas party coming up soon. Izabella helped me pick out stuff to wear and help me with zippers for almost 3 hours, without one single complaint. Oh! and the best part of the whole day was when she told me I was jiggly! It was just GREAT!! I think I need to write Santa an extra special letter this year!

Anyway, I finally caught this on the camera, she's been tying to learn how to cross her eyes and never thinks she's really doing it, when she saw this picture, she couldn't stop laughing but she was also very proud of herself.

and so was momma....... ;-)

Love and miss you all, see you soon XOXO!!

Puritan Woman!

Here she is. Her class had a Thanksgiving play at school last Friday. Her part was a Puritan Woman and her line? "Mercy ME!". Her teacher read a story and each time she said a particular part, the kids would say their lines. Too cute!

This is the whole class! The tall blonde boy in the back row is Drew (aka: partner in crime!) He invited Izabella over for a play date a few weeks ago for getting green all week at school. He picked her over everyone else in the class, I think we're in trouble!!

After Izabella's Thanksgiving Play at school, she got to come back to work with me. She loves going to work with me and eventually she just kicked me right off the computer altogether. She also drew and colored lots of pictures for everyone. You even got to eat lunch with all of us. I can't wait until you can come back to work with me again.

Punchball.....

Here's the whole family, I even caught Soxy smiling!

Introducing Izabella Nicole Mingolla in demonstrating punchball..............and then she goes on about who knows what? Enjoy!

We love and miss everyone and can't wait to see ya'll at Christmas

XOXO-susan

Last Soccer game!

Here they are at their final soccer game and trophy ceremony. Aren't they cute!

They really seemed to enjoy themselves all season! They both played great and I hope they want to do it again next year.

Halloween 2007

Christina and Izabella, I remember their first Halloween together! My how fast they grow up!

Here she is, SUPERGIRL!!

I caught Izabella admiring herself in her mirror right before we left. This happens all the time and is the reason we are almost late for school everyday! Always checking herself out!

The girls YO!

This is one of the last pictures we took of the girls together before school started. They are like 2 peas in a pod, these 2. Izabella wants to be just like Taylor and that's a good thing so far! We've been incredibly lucky with these 2.

They have such a good time together!

Introducing Mingolla Minutes!

Hello Everyone,

My cousin Carrie started a little blog for her family and I just loved the idea so much that I decided to do one for our family. This way we can keep up, or try to keep up with each other better.

Hope you all enjoy!
