Birthday Party with friends

Today we had a birthday party for Andy & Nicole Gorgen's little Sophie who turned 2! It was so fun seeing everyone's little kids!!

Here is Lizzie playing big sissy to Bella....she loves giving her hugs and kisses :)

Lizzie babysitting all the little ones.....Lily (Jackie's baby) behind Lizzie is too cute with the tongue sticking out. And Miss Reece (Katie's baby)

The newest kiddos added to the group, Miss Bella and Mr. Gage (Natalie's) they are about a month apart :) Notice how Bella is so much bigger..such a little porker!!



My helper is starting to poop out :)

A summer day...July 17th

Nothing too special about this post...just caught some cute random pics of Bella while I was working on the computer. I love how she is smiling and laughing randomly throughout the day at this point :)

I never get to be in any pics....

So being the one with the camera in my hand....means I am never in any pics!! So I took one of my and Bella the other day....



I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one....isn't she the cutest!

My little love bug is 2 months old!!!

I can hardly believe my little Bella Nicole is 2 months already...man how time flies. It has been so great so far. You are such a fun little girl to have! You just started smiling about a week ago and I get a giggle from you every now and then, which makes my day complete! You are starting to coo and caaa like you are trying to have a conversation with me :) I love it! You are also starting to sleep a little longer which mommy appreciates oh so much. The other night you did 7:30 - 3:30....I woke up just to make sure you were ok....

Here are a few shots with your 2 month old shirt curtosity of Picky Sticky....love them!



You looked a little like a boy so I had to throw on a cute pink bow ......

I love you very much...you are truly my angel :)

Love Mom

Grace's 12th Birthday

Happy 12th Birthday Grace!!

Here is her birthday present...a set of GOLF clubs...she is so excited!

Dad and Grace before dinner.....how about the cool tissue poms I made...thank you Martha Stewart.com for the wonderful tutorial.

This one is classic...Lizzie is trying to blow out her candles so Grace has her hand up blocking!

I love this picture of Grace and Grandma Cookie....the way the sun is coming through the windows ...so pretty!
