Happy Birthday, MiMi

Happy 2nd Birthday, MiMi!!!!
Last Wednesday was MiMi's Birthday and since we had to miss her party on Saturday we went for a little visit on Wednesday!

She had a farm themed party and Bella loved that all the decorations were still up!
Ann went all out and it was too cute! We were bummed I had to work and we couldn't go to the party!

Children's Museum

A FUN Day at the Museum

with Sarah & Libby!
Neither of the girls wanted to ride on an animal on the carousal just sit

on the bench with us!

This visit Bella seemed so much more aware of everything....enjoyed looking at the dollhouses

probably because it looks a little like hers!

Libby did a great job crawling through the tunnel!

They both loved the sand table!

Taking off on the airplane!

Bella wanted to give the polar bear a hug...this is as close as we could get!

Trying to stay dry at the water table!

Princess at the new castle lego exhibit!

Too bad this picture did show up better...Bella loved the choo choo trains too!

Thanks for inviting us to go with you...we had lots of fun!

Little Ladies with Sunglasses!!!

Hugs for MiMi....

Last day of music class...

Thanks for all the fun music, Miss Holly!!!
Dancing with the ribbons!

And my friends!

Playing my sticks!

Singing and shaking my eggs!

Today was our last music playhouse class! We have decided to sit out the next session and maybe try something different! Of course Bella had a blast today and was on singing and playing every instruments...so that is making me rethink sitting out!?!?!

We are hoping to do a mommy and me gymnastic or ballet class. We are on a wait list where our friends, Angie and Addie go to gymnastic and a lot of other classes you have to be 3 for!

SO...we will see!

Big Girl...

Bella made the transition at Miss Jenny's yesterday from pack-n-play to her new Tink sleeping bag! Jenny said she went right in and laid down and fell asleep like she had been doing it for months! Hopefully that is how our transition to her big girl bed will be!

Way to go Bella...we are sooo proud of you! (yet a little sad too...she is getting sooo big)

Special Visit...

Last week Bella had been asking to see Sara and then Saturday Uncle Ryan and Sara jumped up in our prayer order!!! I called and said Bella needed a visit and they came! Of course Bella had TONS of fun!

Konlie & Bella

Konlie practiced her dance routines in front of us!

She did a GREAT job!

Saturday we met Tim's family in Cloverdale for a family get together with Tim's Uncle Cecil and Sandy. They weren't able to join us at Christmas due to possible bad weather so they had us down now.

Sandy made a wonderful Mexican spread...enough to feed 40 more people and lots of yummy Valentine treats.
The kids got Christmas and Valentine treats!

It was a good day!

Valentine's Loot...

Valentine's morning Bella woke up to a big bag full of goodies from mommy and daddy!

She got a new Tink sleeping bag and pillow to take a nap on at Miss Jenny's, Charlotte Web movie, princess castle pj's with tutu, color tub tablets, and cheese popcorn!

Her new favorite snack! Her cheese face...never can get those eyes open!
