Sesame Street LIVE....Elmo Makes Music....

Suzi and I took Bella and Wyatt to Sesame Street Live show today. Bella's first live show she has been to and she did GREAT!!!! The Elmo Homies posing before the show!!!

Their shirts said...Elmo is my homeboy!
With Aunt Suzi....

Mommy and Bella....she was so interested in everything around her today I couldn't get her to look at boring mom so I could get a picture of her face!

Enjoyment!!!

When it first started she cried for about a second and then she realized they were staying on the stage and she was happy!

She was singing and dancing through the whole show!

Wyatt did great also!
ELMO...
Kept their attention for 1.5 hours!
Yummy cotton candy!
Another attempt to get them both to look and smile for a photo!
What a show!!!

Here is some video of Bella during Sesame St Live...you can see in the one below she is excited when she first sees Elmo and Says, "Elmo" but then not so sure! Like I said she got over that within a second and had fun, fun, fun afterwards! Money well spent!!!

Thursday Play Group...

The big hambone....Gavin...look at those McCall eyes!
Fun for every one!
Bella and Ella
The host Fallyn...thanks to you and your mommy for having another fun get together!
For dinner we went to the Gray's house! Bella has always had a big crush on Jason and didn't want to leave when it was time to go home!

Mommy and Bella Day....

Bella slept nearly 13hours last night. She must of been making up from a busy Easter! We enjoyed extra long snuggle and cuddle time this morning!

Gotta love those morning!

Then we were off to our lunch date with Danelle and Cameron at Red Robin! What fun we had visiting and watching Izabella and Cameron interact!
Bella came home and took a nearly 3 hour nap she woke up to an awesome surprise... her friend, Ella, had come over for a few hours when her mommy went to work! They enjoyed playing and getting all the toys out before her Daddy came to get her!

Busy Girls!
Then we were off to a wonderful dinner at Ann, Warren and MiMi house. Bella loved playing with MiMi and all her toys especially her little nook in her room!

Tim left for Bowling Green KY early yesterday morning and won't be home until tomorrow night and I think Bella is missing her daddy because all the way home she was saying Dadada....I miss him too! She will excited to see him when he picks her up from Miss Jenny's tomorrow!

What a day we had.... lots of mommy and Bella time with friends!

I loved spending the day with my girl!

Precious...

This is my very favorite picture of Wyatt and Bella they both look so big!

Aren't they just too precious!?!?!

Our Little Lady....

Izabella's Easter dress was a very special dress from her Great Grandma Ballard! She loved being all dressed up especially with her hat and purse! She had us all cracking up when she was walking out of church, swinging her purse with her hat and "fur" on...looked like a little old lady just needed her pearls!

Too cute!

Easter Fun...

The New Hare Chevy Spokesmen....
Say Cheese!!!
Doing the chicken dance....

Not only did the Easter bunny come to our house he brought stuff to Gma&Papaw M's, Grammy J and Papaw's, Aunt Rachel's and Aunt Suzi and Uncle Ernie's.

Bella got lots of goodies from every one for Easter! Once again too much but she is such a lucky girl to be loved by so many!

THANK YOU!

The Egg Hunt....

After Tim and Ernie hid 59 eggs for 2 kids they were off! It didn't take Bella long to figure out what she was suppose to do! We all bundled up to watch the kids go on the search and it was so much fun! Tim said, "I didn't think I'd get so into this!!!"

Near the end Bella's basket was getting heavy so we tried to help her and carry it but she wanted to do it all on her own!

Final egg count...

Wyatt 39

Bella 20

Happy Easter....

What a wonderful Easter 2008 we had!

We started our morning off going to a Glorious church service with my family. There was beautiful music and a wonderful sermon of the reminder that our Savior has risen! The true meaning of a beautiful day to celebrate! We kept Bella with us for the music and then she was off to play in Sunday school.

Then we all headed to Lebanon to join Tim's family for a wonderful Easter dinner, and Easter fun! We are blessed that our families enjoy being with each other and we can celebrate some holidays together! We had such a fun afternoon before we knew it the time had slipped away and it was after 6pm!

CONGRATS!!!

Congrats Papaw M on getting Lebanon Citizen of the Year!

Very much deserved for all you do for the city but more for who you are!

We are so proud of you!

SLIDDERS....

These two children can't be related to me if they are eating White Castle....
Diggin' IN....
As you can see Bella thought a hamburger her size was great...little does she know!

Meeting Mr Easter Bunny

Look how good Emily and Claire did while meeting MR Bunny.....
Bella didn't do so good...even with Jackson and Olivia by her side!

She was fine as soon as she was picked up and we promised her soon she would learn to love Mr Bunny when she sees her basket
Prior to sitting on Bunny's lap she loved watching every one else meet the bunny and was waving, talking and smiling at him! Here is video of her telling you what the bunny says...hop, hop, hop

Fun Friday....

Hayden and Bella had lots of fun in the tunnel although Hayden wasn't too sure about crawling through it.
Emily came to play too!!!
Addie the Easter Bunny was there...thank you for all the loving you shared with me today Addie!!!
Emily and Claire were running around keeping up with the big girls all over!
Today we met our friends and the play land at the mall! What fun but the mommies eyes were busy trying to keep up with watching all the kiddos! It was a busy place! Then we all enjoyed a quick bite to eat to!

A fun Friday for sure!

First Day of Spring...

We saw the ....

Easter Bunny Bella with her fancy new ears Auntie Angie and Addie got her

and

our shadow!

Bella had a wonderful day outside! Her Great Aunt Beth came and played while I ran some errands and went to an appointment. They were outside for along time this afternoon and then again tonight she was outside when daddy was grilling dinner. She can't get enough of it! Hopefully this nice weather continues...I do realize I live in Indiana and it probably won't but we can hope!

A Treat....

Once Bella got up from her nap I decided we would get out of the house for a little bit! When I asked her if she wanted to go Bye Bye she said, "Yeah!!!" So we both put our hoodies on and we were out the door! I decided to hit the Flying Cupcake an adorable bakery to get an after dinner treat!

The have the most fabulous cupcakes! Then we hit the Kids book store next door and looked around! Bella loved being out!

She had vanilla with vanilla icing!
Daddy had chocolate with chocolate icing! I had Red Velvet with Chocolate Chips and Cream cheese icing! !

YUMMY!!!!

Rainy Day Fun....

Although it was actually warm out it was a yucky rainy day so we stayed in! I tried to keep her entertained all morning with new activities!

I got the big sketch pad out and we both colored all over it! I think she liked watching me draw and color more than she did but we had a first she didn't stick the crayon in her mouth once! Maybe we are outgrowing that??? Probably not!
Then I decided to let her dip into the toy box that had been tucked in her closet since I put some toys away at Christmas. She loved rediscovering her toys!
I tried to put pig tails in her hair because Aunt Rachel has wanted me to do it for along time and Miss Addie looked so cute in her piggies but she didn't leave them in very long! We will keep trying!
