YES, we have a dog lover.

Aunt Tia and Uncle Tod brought Rudy up for a visit.  At first Bella was timid, but after 15minutes she was telling that dog what to do and would even grab things out of his mouth.  SHE LOVES THE DOG.  The dilemma...do I really want one?

Oh how quickly the time goes.  Parties are always best with lots of cousins.

NEW Tricycle.

Just happened to go into Fred Meyers and they had 60% of clearance items!!!!  LOVE IT.  Found this adorable tricyle and knew I had to buy it.   It was even cheaper than the goodwill.  She LOVES it and until she can officially reach the pedals, Josh is her man.

Josh's First Day in First Grade!

So nervous, yet so excited. I wasn't sure about having him gone all day because I like having him home, but I am actually really enjoying this whole day school thing and so is Josh.  Bella and I and Aunt Emily took advantage of this and went shopping!!  Got some awesome boots and Belle's got these adorable silver slip ons.  Can't wait to get an outfit together.  Simple thrills:)

Thanks for the visit and playtime!

Glad you could come enjoy some of Bella's homecookin!  

LOVE THE BOOKS!

If the kids want to read, Dad is their man.  Brien always takes time to read to them and they love it.  They are reading Belle's favorite ABC book.
