It is May 11th and Miss Bella Nicole is 2!! I can't even believe it. When I walked in this morning with my little ritual I started with her last year....singing Happy Birthday while video taping. She wasn't thrilled. She wanted out of that crib :) I managed to get a few camera shots, but got a good video!!
As usual with each birthday, I decorate the downstairs so when the kiddos wake up they come down to house decorated just for them :) In a house of 4 girls...they love when it is their day!!
Here she is noticing the awesome Sesame Street Happy Birthday Banner :)
Trying for a good shot with Ava, but she was not thrilled in this shot either :(
Since we are doing a BIG family party on Sunday to celebrate Mother's Day, Bella, Brad & Aunt Candi's birthdays we opted for PIZZA NIGHT tonight. Requested specifically by Bells!
Here we are just killing time in the back yard waiting for some yummy PIZZA
Daddy was in Dallas this week for work and brought all the girls home a hat from the Minor League game he went to. She had too much fun with this...just trying to get it on is priceless :)
It's on!! And now for her favorite game...run around the house as fast as she can!!
The little stinker tried to trick me and hide in my office....a break down of giggles once I came around the corner and found her :) Love it!
And off she goes again....through the entryway into the dining room...all while still laughing like crazy :)
Shortly after as noticed she has socks on...well socks, Bella and hardwood don't mix too well. Down she went and the running game was over, followed by a big bruise on the right side of her forehead.
CUPCAKE TIME (as she likes to scream!)...Time to sing Happy Birthday!!
Why is everyone looking at me and singing...I don't quite grasp that :)
Group shot...LOVE! This is all the personalities coming out. Bella being a goof, Lizzie posing as best she can b/c Mom has instilled if camera is out - give a great smile. Ava holding the HUGE piece of chicken, what a ham! And Grace being the mature one :)
Bella - today you turned 2 years old!
Time is simply flying and as much as I am trying to catch every moment of your sweet life I know I can't catch it all. I am so grateful to be able to see you experience so much. You are truly an angel in your families life! You bring such joy to this group called your family.
I simply love the things you do these days......

- how you love your dogs...."Hi Daisy Hi Spot" every morning when they come in
- you love to help mommy do chores around the house, folding laundry, putting shoes away, helping me dust
- you know that almost everyday when you come home there will be cookies on the counter so you love to sweep your hand over the counter in hopes that I won't see you attempting to snag one
- you are an amazing talker already! I am simply blown away by how much you can say and carry on a conversation! It is so fun!!
- you LOVE shoes!
- your favorite drink is Juice...but Mommy limits that one. You throw a fit for about 30 seconds then realize the milk is pretty yummy!

-you love all veggies...and especially tomatoes that daddy puts on his salad. You invade his salad each time he makes one for dinner :)

Mommy and Daddy love you so much and your big sisters simply adore you!
We can't wait to see how much you grow this year....
