More pics from Bella's 3rd birthday

These pics I just found on my iPad...pretty much sums up my crazy girls. They were being so funny while having out little immediate fam party for Bella the day before the big family party. Grace and Ava were going back to their momma's bc it was Mother's Day so we did an early birthday celebration for Bells so they could give her their presents. It was so funny!
Bella was beyond excited to finally be getting her presents for being 3!! She had a princess crown that she had gotten from school that she literally did not take off for days!

Easter 2013

Happy Easter 2013

Girls & even Landry were all still asleep at 7am.  I had homemade cinnamon rolls from Pioneer Woman in the oven making the house smell devine!!  That seemed to wake them up :)

Taking a look to see what the Easter Bunny left them!!

Bella is totally into Minnie Mouse right now...the EASTER BUNNY was paying attention!!

What a fun bucket for Landry :)

 Caught him mid yawn on this one....LOVE IT...looks like he is so excited about his basket!!!

Ava is OBSESSED with Scooby Doo...loving the doo rag!

Quick snap before the big hunt begins...Bella wanted nothing to do with being photogenic!

Grace just taking it all in....didn't feel like hunting any eggs this year :(  But she did partake in eating about 5 cinnamon rolls...they are really that good :)

Bella trying on Grace's new sunglasses....stylin

Had a great time at chuch and spending the day with family.  

Very blessed we are as a family!!

Sunday Trip to Pick Apples & Nectarines

So most of you know that I am not much of a cook...I can bake with the best of them, but when it comes to cooking....not so much!!  I leave that part to my wonderful hubby :)

Anyway this morning we were watching one of my favorite cooking shows Pioneer Woman and lets just say she made an amazing looking Pasta Salad that even Lizzie said she would eat.  Wade is headed home after a weekend golf touney and is planning on grilling steaks...so perfect I would show him I actually did something in the kitchen besides bake.   Lets just say it is amazing!!!

We started the weekend off with a little picnic and playtime in the park....

Followed by a whole rest of the day of laziness....man it has been awhile with nothing to do

Sunday morning Lizzie looked at me and said mom can we please do something....ok there is a darling little farmers market down the street from me and they just posted U Pick Nectarines and Apples.  We were there!!

Bella loved the fact that she had her own bag to fill up...she kept repeating "My Bag, My Bag"

Heading towards the nectarine trees...I have never picked anything but apples so I was excited to get some VERY fresh of my most favorite fruit.

Of course Bells was too excited about her bag to look at me for any quick pics....

Moving on to Apples...she was excited b/c these were low enough that she could grab her own!

And what  Bella was most excited about...her own container of Tomatoes..or MATOS as Bella calls them. 

Ready to go straight into the Pasta Salad for tonights dinner.

Can't wait to use all those nectarines once they have softened up a bit for a nectarine pie or cobbler.  And we have enough apples to experiment with some new cupcake recipes, icing, pies, etc.    Yummy...good thing I am preggo still b/c I will be partaking in eating all of them!!!

Such a great Sunday!!

Purina Farms

Bella was Mommy's helper on Friday for her normal weekly delivery to Purina Farms.  Since it is such a hike out there from New Town we decided to take in the animals and show while we were there.  The weather is actually perfect...unlike the 110 degree days we had been having this summer!! 

Bella was all about the piggies....right till we saw them.  Seeing all the animals up close was a little freaky for her :)  It was too cute!!

Shot of Bella and me before the Dog Show started

Since we are now 4 months preggo a snack was needed ASAP  :) 

I loved this day...the best was the videos I took of Bella's Dancing party from the Dog Show.  I just can't figure out how to upload them from youtube.
