All about Izzy-5 years

It is so crazy to me that Izzy is 5.  She has always been such a sweet girl and I love watching her grow and learn.  Here are some pictures of her over the years. 
My Halloween baby.
I was so surprised with all of her dark hair. 
She had her daddy's heart.
One year old birthday celebration.
One of my favorite pictures of her.  She was actually mad at having a fit about having her pictures taken and we got this precious one. 
Three years old. 
Love that smile. 
Four years old.  Her curls are gorgeous. 
Five years old.  Of course, she had to have a picture in a horse shirt. 
So lucky to be her Mommy.

She had to get her 5 year old vaccines and she was not happy about that.  When I told her we were going to the doctor, she asked if she had to get shots.  I told her, "yes" How could I lie?  Immediately she started to cry and say she didn't want to go.  While we were there, she was fine, but then when it was time for shots she started to cry again.  She cried for a couple minutes after and then was fine.  We went to Orange Leaf after because ice cream makes everything better, right?!
Her stats:
Height: 44 inches (77%)
Weight: 47 pounds (85%)

Things I want to remember about Izzy:
-She still LOVES horses.  I think this obsession started at one and has not gone away.  She takes horse lessons, loves to trot, and remembers every name of every horse she rides.  
-She loves going to school and is a great student.  She can count to 100, read basic words (cat, hat, fat, sat, of, the, is, etc), knows all shapes and colors.  She is really smart and her teacher Miss Molly talks about what a great student she is.
-She is a great swimmer and really enjoys it.  This summer she could swim 25 yards on her front and back.  She is great at going off the diving board and loves going down the big slides by herself.
-She is the Best big sister.  She is so sweet to Cambry.  She loves playing with Cambry and is so good at sharing and keeping Cambry happy.  It is fun to watch the motherly, nurturing side of her.
-She is a social butterfly.  She wants to constantly play with friends.  She goes around our street to all the houses asking kids to come play at our house.  I love how outgoing and confident she is. 
-She loves to travel and is a great traveler.  I can't think of one flight with her that was bad.  She measures how far away a place is by how many plane rides it takes to get there.  Right now she says her favorite places to visit are: Texas, Phoenix, and Canada.
-She is adventurous and daring.  She loves to rock climb to the top, ride the 4-wheeler and razor with daddy (going fast of course), and jump on the trampoline.   She loves tubing behind the boat and surfing with Daddy.
-She loves veggies and fruit.  She eats green and red peppers like they are candy.  Grape tomatoes are another favorite, along with cucumbers.  Carrots and broccoli are a couple of veggies she doesn't like.  She says she's allergic to them.
