Washington really is the most beautiful State

June:  After we dropped off Maddy at youth conference we went across the street to deception pass.  Abby and Bella had fun playing in the water.  Bella loves to dig in the sand.  She does not like being told what to do and has a mind of her own.  It is quite funny.

The look and pure originality

June:  Bella found the iPod and then I find both her and Josh rocking out to music.  There is this look Bella always gets on her face and does with her lips once she decides to start getting her groove on.  I actually got the look on camera!

While I was making breakfast, Bella was in the kitchen drawers, and I guess the bathroom by the toothpaste in her hand.  Her hat is a baking mold for a cake.  Quite the character.  I love camera's that capture these moments.

Father's Day

We had fun bowling with Kevin and Jelly.  Belle's was in heaven with all the different colored balls.  She tried to pick them up but they were just too heavy.  She enjoyed fries and helping the rest of us bowl.  What a fun day:)

New PJ's

June:  I had told Josh how we used to wear big t shirts to bed when we were little.  Now Josh wears Brien's shirts overnight and he gives Bella one of his shirts for bed.

HOT DAYS..where have you gone?

June:  SO hot we had to got to Jack in the box and Chuckwagon to get some ice-cream to cool down.  I think they look happy:)  Now, I don't think it is ever going to stop pouring!  Talk about rain.

Josh's tubes and adnoids

2 weeks after Bella had tubes in her ears, then Josh had tubes put in his along with his adenoids removed.  I always thought he was ignoring me.  Turns out he really couldn't hear.  Now everything is way to loud.  Crazy how a little thing can change your world.

Family Home Evening by Josh

Josh and I read a story about a girl building a fun house.  We then had the idea to build a house unto the lord for Family Home Evening Lesson.  Josh taught.  HE did a great job!  We all had fun participating.  Bella's new thing is that she is always wanting to say prayers.  She folds her arms, bows her head, then waits for me to help her.  She likes to do it often throughout the day.  Also she recognizes Jesus in every picture she sees of him.  She points and say "Jesus."  We then ask Who loves Jesus? and she raises her hand and says "ME!"  It is adorable

new shoes and funny faces

June:  Bella Loves her new shoes aunt tia got her.  Don't they look adorable.  That is how I feel and look when I buy new shoes.  I love Josh's faces he did before bed.

Salsa

Bella likes the hot salsa..CRAZY!

Fun in Ellensburg with Brien's family

May:  So Bella would NOT let go of her new baby cousin Oliver.  She had her arms around him so tight.  It was like having a real live doll.  Oliver is bigger than she is and he is only 5 months!  Bella loves being tossed in the air by dad.

Laundry is done

May:  After we fold laundry bella turns the basket  into her own play pen.  She thinks it is hilarious to sit in it and poke her fingers out the holes
