14!

We love this girl and enjoyed celebrating her birthday!  She has wanted a long board, and that evening we went to Community Park so that she could have more space to learn to use it.  She is already getting good! She is an amazingly talented cake baker and decorator, with her own little business, but wanted me to make her birthday cake, so I felt pretty special.


Isabelle has a really great sense of humor and keeps us laughing with her perspective on things and her utilization of movie lines at just the right moments.
As an example of her unique humor:
Whenever Anni's hair is looking particularly thin and straggly, Isabelle gets laughing and says that she looks like a "homeless Prince".  It's very descriptive of how it looks in a really funny way. She always has lines like that.

Another thing that I particularly appreciate and admire about Isabelle or "Izzy" as her friends call her, is that she always accepts correction with complete humility.  She can laugh at herself and admit when she's in the wrong. She has a strong testimony and shares it with others.  She expresses herself really well and has such a sweet spirit about her.

Isabelle has great taste and is talented in so many ways. She's growing into a  great musician with piano and violin and is a good singer. She's a great athlete and has mental strength and stamina.  She is incredible at knowing how to entertain little kids and at helping people feel at ease and good about themselves.  She is also really good at teasing and exasperating her siblings when she is bored, but is learning to temper that impulse😃
