Getting Our Tree...

Tonight last minute we decided to head out and find our perfect tree....Bella was excited! We just went down the street to Lowes and found one that would fit just right. This year we got a full skinny tree because are running out of space in the house so skinny worked better!

We are letting the branches settle for a few days before we decorate it!

Can't wait for Izabella to help...I think she will have lots of fun!

My only concern this year is if she will keep the presents wrapped under the tree!

We will soon find out!

Me and My Baby....

Bella and her baby do everything together right now...as of tonight she started calling her baby Charlie...

It is fun watching her "take care" of her...

Bella and "Charlie" We will see if this sticks...
changes here shoooeee diapers....
she was telling me she was dirty in the middle of me snapping the picture.
gives her a bath

brushes her teeth and

hair....

even sits her right next to her and reads her stories!

You are such a good little mommy Bella!!!!!

Thanksgiving Dinner...

Consisted of popsicles and soup for Bella...

I had to work Thanksgiving but Tim and Bella planned on going to his parents to celebrate but Bella woke up with a fever of 102.8!

YUCK!

I ended up getting home early and she was the most pitiful I had ever seen her! She literally just laid in our bed with Tim until 6:45 that night when we got her fever down to 100.2 and she finally perked up a little.

A few hours later finally agreed to have some soup and 3 popsicles! Miss Jenny's daughter had the same 24 hour bug but happy to report they were both back to themselves yesterday!

Tim got some good leftovers yesterday so he got to enjoy delayed dinner last night!

Happy Thanksgiving...

We have so many reason to be thankful this year....

our health, our jobs, our home and our

wonderful family and friends!

We are truly blessed!

May you and your family enjoy a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

Our little lady....Bella

Grammy J got Bella this adoable outfit for her Birthday and I decided Thanksgiving would be a good time to try it out!

I think she looks too cute!

Mr Ayden

Bella and I had so much fun yesterday watching Ayden for a few hours yesterday when his mommy had an interview. ( Heather, his mom and I work together)

He was a super good little boy, and Bella was a my big helper. She just giggled when it was time to feed him and helped hold the bottle for about 5 minutes!

We loved helping out, and having a baby around the house!

We'd keep him again, anytime!

Burn that energy...

Sliding...weee

Big Man...Mr Wyatt...

Bella and Fallyn driving in the car...

Last week we met some friends for lunch and play time at the mall! We had lots of fun and since it has gotten so cold out it was a great way for the kiddos to burn some of their energy! Wyatt had spent the night with us so Bella loved having him to play with too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

We love you,

Thanks for having us all over with last minute notice!!!

Bella got her "tube"

This morning we were off to Riley Children's Hospital so Bella could have a tube in her left ear to help with the drainage build up and the 4 ear infections she has had since August!

Daddy entertaining Bella before her procedure! Waking up at 4:45 and waiting 45min past our procedure time was the hardest part!!!!

Bella was back to us within 26 minutes a little drowsy still but good! Once she awoke from everything and had her 2 sippys of apple juice she was happy!

Dr Miyamoto said he removed a lot of thick fluid, cleaned the ear, and put the tube and antibiotic in! We hope it does the trick!!!

Bella trying to check her own vital sign.....obviously I am fine, let's blow this joint!
We are so happy that everything went as well as it did today!

We've Got BLUE Spirit!!!

GO BLUE...
Bella had her Colt's cheer leading outfit on all day preparing for the game, even wore it to church!
She has lots of fun playing with her pom poms all the time but today we cheered together!
I was teaching her the "we've got spirit" cheer and she was getting it! Too cute....love Sunday's of doing nothing and playing with Bella all day!!!
We've definitely got BLUE spirit when they win or lose but it is more fun when the WIN!!!
Way to go COLTS!
