Different Girl???

Thursday morning Bella and Daddy were getting ready at the same time and as I was pulling her hair up she told Tim and I that she looked like a different girl with Pigtails!
Too cute!
Now that she is a officially 3 1/2 (sniff sniff) I wonder where my little girl is sometimes?! Her action, language and everything is developing so much right now! It is amazing to watch yet I would like time to just stand still a little longer! I know I need to hold on tight to these days!!!

Taking a Break...

Cutie Girls waiting to Bounce on the Trampoline!!!

Although Bella has a blast at gymnastics and I know it is awesome for her gross motor skills we are taking a break for just a little bit.

We are starting Ballet next week at the parks department and Art class at Gymboree in a few weeks but plan to return to gymnastics probably for summer session!

Walking out hand in hand after a great class!!!

Zoo Day...

Today we met a few of my friends from work and their boys at the zoo!
It was a little overcast but a perfect day because all the animals were out and about! There were not very people there either which made it really nice! We stayed for much longer than we usually do, playing and exploring!

Meeting Preston Wiley!
Bella was sooo cute with him, singing and playing patty cake!

Fun on the playground with Turner and Ayden!!!

Izabella was excited to check out the butterfly garden yet when we got there a little nervous they were going to land on her.

Emily & Claire Turn 3!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Claire and Emily!!!

Saturday Amy & Scott hosted a great Dora bash for Emily & Claire! Amy did a very creative and fun game with the kids, they had to use their maps (follow the string) to find their backpacks full of goodies that Swiper taken earlier in the day! Of course lots of fun playing, riding their cool new 3 wheel princess scooters, awesome cake!

A FUN party!
We can't believe you are 3 already girls but looking forward to another year of having lots of fun together, and watching learn & grow!!!

Happiest Birthday Wishes!!!

Bowling Family Fun...

Saturday we met Cathy and Jackson at Pinheads for a night of aracade games, eating and bowling! Cosmic Bowling starting a little after we got a lane at 7pm, instead of late night like the other alleys do. They also had a orange pin hit, that you got cash if you got a strike when your orange pin was in the right spot! I one twice! This is something we will definitely do again soon! I LOVED that they had little bowling shoes in Bella's sizes although she was worried that they were boy shoes!

Her reactions to hitting a lot of pins and then not so many!
She was getting the game and it was quite cute how she had her own little way to do it!

Princess MiMi's Birthday...

Happy 3rd Birthday, MiMi

Saturday we went to Royal Festivities to celebrate Princess Margaret Molly's 3rd Birthday! The festivities were quite fun from, getting all Princess Beautiful, Having a announcement of the Prince and Princess in attendance, decorating the castle with stickers, a coin and jewel hunt since the castles fairies had stole them, slaying of the dragon who ate all the candy. Bella had a blast and was asleep before we got home! Thanks for including us and many happy Birthday wishes on a wonderful 3rd year to MiMi!
