Bounce Zone...

Friday we went to Bounce zone with Livy and Jackson....
at first Bella was very apprehensive...

you can see how tightly she is holding on to me...

showing her how much fun it was!!!

Climbing up the BIG slide...one time and she was hooked!

then next 1 1/2 hours there was NO stopping her!

By the end she was doing it all on her own and these things aren't easy to climb up!

The day was full of LOTS

of SMILES &

LAUGHTER!!!!

Let the summer begin...

Bring on the FUN and BUSY summer!!!

Starting off with Dilly Bars for everyone!
Bella and I will be spending my days off from Methodist with the Kirk kids this summer!
Bella adores all 3 of the kids and they adore her too so it should work out well! The last time I did this I was pregnant with Bella it will be interesting to see the difference in everyone!
I know we will have TONS of fun doing lots of activities that Olivia and I already started plotting out on the calendar.... yet fear our housework may fall by the wayside!
O well....look forward to our adventures!

Snow Cone....

Bella got a snow cone before the parade started
I figured it would help keep her hydrated and she LOVED it!

She did share with Grammy J too!

Pre-Parade Fun...

Saturday morning my mom, Aunt Beth and I took Bella to the 500 Parade. We got there early so we could get some good seats! We always sit in front of the library so we have a nice green spot to spread our blankets out behind our chairs.

We had fun running, throwing the football, blowing bubbles and just enjoying the beautiful morning!!!

Welcome Race Fans...

Happy Memorial Day Weekend,

Everyone!!!
We have had a very fun and busy day at the 500 Parade and McGrath's Race Party!
I am too tired to sort through all the pics but we just wanted to wish everyone a
very fun, happy and safe weekend!!!

Hot Day at the Zoo...

" Did you see that cute little boy?"

This pictures cracks me up...they look like two teenagers talking!!!
Showing off their dance moves!

Mom's and their girls!

Can't go to the zoo without riding the train!

We had lots of fun with MiMi and Ann today...

Bella has been asleep for over 3 hours...she was worn out!

Artist In You....

Bella paint...
Beautiful watercolors...

Papaw paints too!

Bella woke up a bit whiny from her nap yesterday but as soon as we pulled the paint out her attitude changed.

Happy, peaceful, little girl again!

Papaw stopped by for quick visit and he had to paint too! Papaw is quite the artist so hopefully she will inherit some of his artistic abilities!

Never-the-less they both really enjoyed sharing the watercolors!

Watering Flowers...

Izabella loves to be a big helper so she watered all the new flowers we planted last week!
