Celebrating Birthday/Christmas with Kevin & Jelly (Birth Parents) and Karen, Jelly's Mom.

Dec. 17, 2011: Had a nice visit at Buzz Inn with Kevin, Jelly, and Karen! While opening presents, Bella warmed up and started giving kisses, played, and snuggled! How cute! Thanks for all the gifts....Bella loves them.

Bella's new cape

Dec. 21. 2011: Thanks Mot for this fabulous present! I took away her bottle to get a picture, but as you can see she did not like that. Isn"t it cute mom?

Cake Fun

She devoured this whole piece. Look at that smile. She loves playing with all her cousins and they give her tons of attention.

Dec 16th, 2011: Bella is 1!! Bella loves rice and beans so that is what she started out with. Then we went over to my parents where Bella tried her first ice-cream cake. SHE LOVES SWEETS! She is such a character. Always waving and laughing. She is so much fun to play with. She makes me laugh all the time. A great time. This is her 2nd party. I will be posting pics of the party on Dec 10th tomorrow.

La Jolla

The kids loved watching the seals and birds. In one picture you see us chasing a bird. This is what we do at every beach. Bella starts getting super excited then starts making noises and points to the birds. She doesn't stop until we chase every bird off the beach! Great fun.

Hiking the hills in Loma Linda

Sunday afternoon we went to a nice park and took a hike in the hills-super hot. Afterwards we took some pictures of Bella in the Gazebo in this adorable dress. Doesn't she look beautiful!! I love little girls!
