Need help

So I am stressing out big time and I'm asking for everyones input. I can't decide how to spell the baby's name. So I'm throwing out different spellings and if there is one you like please leave me a comment or if you a have a different spelling let me know. Thanks we will be sure to let her know that you had a hand in naming her. Here it goes....

Isabella
Isabela
Izabele

Also if you can think of a cute and short middle name add that as well.

New Job!!!

Blake was offered a new job this week, last thursday he recieved an e-mail asking if he was interested in a job and wanted to interview on Tuesday. Well he decided to go to the interview and on Wednesday (the next day) the lady called him and told him to check his e-mail within the next 24 hours. Well he rushed home and checked it and there was an offer. It will be interesting to see how much better this job is. Hopefully less stress and better hours.

Disneyworld

So we just got back yesterday from Disneyworld for a week. The boys did really good on the flight to Orlando. We got there on Sunday and just kicked around the resort and went and did some shopping. On Monday was Magic Kingdom when we woke up it was a little cloudy and then it started raining. We stopped and bought some umberellas and decided to go anyways... after all we had come so far. When we got there we found out that they were having a parade for the Steelers for winning the superbowl. Even with this there wasn't that many people there. The rain just kept coming down and the boys were such troopers for not whinning that they were wet and cold I know that I would have been. It got so bad that we finally left. Later that night when watching the weather to see how the next day was going to be we found out that in one day alone they got the montly average of rain fall in one day. So much for sunny Florida right? Maybe tomorrow will be better... not so much it was windy and super cold the rest of our days there (record cold in 15 years) what the heck?? With that being said we still had a good time but I sure am glad to be home and not to have to walk 5 + miles a day, hopefully I can rest my body and get rid of my cankles ( my whole body is just swollen). I have given a little run down of our week I however didn't post all of the pictures and video that we took otherwise this post would go on forever. I hope that you enjoy.
