For Amy....well mostly.

When mom and dad came through for the night last month, Amy sent along a little surprise for Bella with them... 4 REALLY cute dresses/outfits! I promised her a fashion show, so here it is (she's only worn 3 of the 4, so the last one will have to wait for the next post), with a few other random pictures.

Bella loves seeing slideshows of pictures (especially of her and us) on the computer.

Cute dress #1 from Amy! Love these colors on her! Here she is playing at her table

Dancing! What else?

Awww!

She's a natural poser!

Spying on the neighborhood.

She thought this flower (from the chives right behind her) would taste good... guess not.

Cute dress #2! Slides with Daddy!

Thinking about climbing.

Hello!

Bella doing a little dance!

Watching the bigger kids play.

Cute dress #3! She's helping weeding.

Pointing... always pointing.

She loves doing this - putting our shoes on and trying to walk in them.

Playing in the sprinkler.

Sneaking into Mayah's playhouse

Its june already???

Well we've had some excitement around here the last couple weeks that's for sure! For the long weekend we went out to my aunt and uncles house in Silverton to meet up with the family there. My cousins Steve, Ajay and his wife Janet were out there, and they have a 6 year old (Ryder) and a l month older than Bella Girl (Jersey). So of course Isabella had a ton of fun, oh and there were 3 dogs she got to play with as well. Definitely a great time!

Our little Family

Rocks!

more rocks!

Jersey and Bella (Bellz stole that box of raisins from Jersey and wouldn't let go for 2 hours)

Bella loves this bunny, but actually.

Playing with the blocks! Delores was there as well!

Ryder was blowing bubbles for Bella, she almost ate this one!

Playing on a trike, although she thought it would be a good idea to stand on it. (I thought that was a pretty cool idea too)

Bath time!

Bubbles!

Sara shot this photo off our front deck! Full Rainbow, she took more pictures that actually have a double rainbow in them.

It POURED one day, and Bella stood at the doors screaming to go outside and play in it. When the rain finally slowed down enough to be a drizzle, we let her go out on the deck where she squealed and twirled and danced in the rain.

Mother's Day and Beyond!

Well the longer between posts seems to make the posts take longer and so on and so fourth. So here is a post of whats been happening in the last week or so here.

Messy Times, gotta love it though.

Bella is quite the helper these days, right after she finished sweeping, she went right on to finish the mopping!

Apple Orchards in bloom, dandelions too!

another chore of weeding

Sara showing bella how its done!

Chickens! Bella Loves roosters.

Goats!

Donkeys! She had fun petting this guy.

Sheep woo hoo! This one was convinced that Bella had a treat for him hidden somewhere, and followed her along the fence down the whole path!

Bella has been loving going to the park these days, she is getting around all the play structures very well.

Loves the slide!

Daddy Daughter Day!

2 beaches in one day!

Playing in her new Sprinkler, thanks Kristin!

Our little model

Just a couple more for your viewing enjoyment! A fun little lunchtime photoshoot!

Its about time!

Hey all, its been a while since we posted some pics, i dunno where the time goes but here is what we've been up to in the last little while! Enjoy!

Bella has really been loving the Push/Pull toys, and the idea of "walking" them around. This morning I bent down to give her a kiss goodbye before I headed for work, and she saw my necklace... or in her eyes, a pull string. She grabbed my necklace, turned around, and walked me around the house - all the way down the hall and back again and then around the island, laughing the whole time. She thought it was hilarious!

One of Bellas new b-day/Easter dresses!

and another one, plus a great tea set!

Outfit all the way from Korea! Thanks Bro!

Bella and Riah hangin on the couch, I swear we have a pic exactly like this from before.

Feeding the Ducks!

Scary water, i would not want to have to jump in after her.

excited!

a smile in a swing is hard to come by, she doesnt like them yet!

Good overhand!

Bella and Mommy

Bella and Daddy!

2 socks in the mouth?
