Susie-Lou-Whoo does her hair like this...

So did Bella tonight...as you can tell she thinks her new do is pretty cool!!!

Girls are sooo much fun!!!!

WOW...so I guess Bella's pants got wet at school today and instead of putting the whole outfit I had in her bag they just put the pants...so this was the combo she was wearing when we picked her up!!! YIKES!

Tonight we had Mexican with the Kirk's....Bella insisted that Livvvy was her's !!!

I love this picture...although Olivia is getting sooo old...She was 6 weeks old when I started nannying them! WOW...time flies!

My Own Polish...

Bella got her own pack of polish...so we did her nails and toes...red and pink for

Valentine's Day!

She insisted Daddy do some too!!!

He didn't remember ever decorating cookies before...let's start the memories now!

AND they were!

Aunt Rachel joined us too!

Look at the finished products!!

Great job everyone...they were beautiful and YUMMY!

V-day Crafts...

Wednesday morning we were busy creating many Valentine crafts...

Got a great idea from another friend... Katherine's blog with the Hands....THANKS

( I love sharing getting new ideas by checking out what friends are doing via their blogs!)

I was brave and let Bella do glitter glue...

and paint NOT in her high chair!!! It was a morning full of fun!!!!

Music Playhouse...

With the snow and Bella having a cold we had missed music for 2 weeks...we were thrilled to be back. Too bad there are only 2 weeks left until the class is over! We are thinking about doing mommy and me gymnastic or ballet just for something different although we know Bella is a true music girl...it's in her roots!!!

Charlie and Cole loved playing with the tissue!

Mommy's Make-Up

I usually give Bella some make-up brushes and stuff when I am getting ready. I had given her this tube of sunscreen tinted before and she couldn't open it!

Obviously today she got it opened....didn't she look pretty!!!

Ladies Night...

Ann, Me, Molli, Amy & Cathy

Our 2nd Ladies night out was at Marco's and it was a great spot! They had a phenomenal Filet special, along with great friends, good conversation, to die for dessert and a glass of wine....once again it was a great night!
Unfortunately due to snow not everyone was able to make it. Hopefully in March we won't have a huge snow storm and more can make it out!

Lunch Date...

Last Tuesday our music class got snowed out but we still made it to Ann and MiMi's for a lunch date! Bella and MiMi get along so well... I love watching them play and them play together! I also love catching up with Ann!!!

PS A HUGE THANK YOU to Warren for finding my phone!!! Apparently when I was leaving my phone fell out of my pocket and then they had someone shovel so my snow was buried in a big snow pile and Warren dug it out! THANKS!

Grandma M Birthday Dinner

Last Monday was Grandma M Birthday and for her Birthday she got to spend the day with Bella because Miss Jenny and Emily were sick!

After Tim and I got off work we met her out to dinner. Everyone else in the family was busy that night but we loved just having some one on one time with Grandma!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
