Children's Museum...

It had been quite awhile since we had been to the museum so we were excited when Amy, Emily and Claire asked us to join them there!
Climbing with Claire...
Dancing while waiting for the carousal
Big girls riding the horses
that go up and down on the carousal.
Dinosaur Dig was something new and fun for us!!!
Gotta LOVE the goggles!
Thanks for sharing a fun day of exploring with us Amy, Emily and Claire!!!

Cookie Time AGAIN???

Last weekend when Bella was spending the weekend with Grammy J and Papaw she made meatloaf with Grammy and she taught her how to crack an egg by herself!
She does a pretty good job...first egg:no shell...second egg: just a little shell!
So why is it when Daddy is away I have the craving for cookies????
It was a raining day and fun thing to do with Bella and YUMMY in our tummy!!!

Waffles...

This is the BEST waffle mix...it is a little pricey but YUMMY!!!
You can find it at William Sonoma.
Friday was literally the first time this summer we had NOTHING we had to do!!! So I took advantage of it! Yes there was lots I could of and should of done but we just ENJOYED the morning!
I rarely get the waffle maker out b.c of the mess but thought it would be fun to do with Bella. At 5, I was making pancakes on my own for my family and I think Bella might be on her way to doing the same! She LOVES to help in the kitchen!
The mess I was talking about but ohhh soooo worth it!
Finished Product: Bella wanted to have peanut butter and syrup on hers and ate most of it with her fresh blueberries!
YUMMY breakfast!

My Body Likes It...

S-T-I-N-K-E-R Friday morning as I was doing something Bella decided to create some body art!!! Thank goodness crayola comes off immediatly with water but when I was explaing to her again that we only color on paper...she looked and me and said, "but mom my body likes it!"
What do I say to that?

Happy 2nd Brithday, Libby!!!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY,

Gavin & Bella look like they could be twins with the blond curly hair and blue eyes!Thursday Sarah hosted play group to celebrate Libby's Birthday! The kids all enjoyed playing on their screened in porch and the yummy lunch and cupcakes! Hayden loving the slide!

New Gymnastics Class...

The High bar...trying to decide if she should fall in the pit on her own???
Being brave and jumping off the bars without Mr Troy!

Barrels and sliding backwards...

Working on making a "W" on her own. She DID IT!!!


Learning Hand Stands.

We started her second session of her 2 1/2 class and this class seems to be much calmer and Bella did a great job this week!
We hope it continues!

Indiana State Fair 09

Last Tuesday night we met Tim's family for a night full of Fair Fun!!!
When we got there the was a parade going on that Bella enjoyed!

FAIR FOOD...
THE ANIMALS....
RIDES ON THE MIDWAY!!We were all in tears after watching Wyatt and Bella in this race car. We didn't pay much attention before we put them in it and thought it was just the typical circle each ride is...well on each curve the cars stepped on the gas and whipped them around the curve it was too funny to watch! Luckily Wyatt was on the outside to keep Bella in but both of the kids LOVED it!

Tim had been eyeing this ride all night but didn't want to be the only adult riding a ride...
Finally we talked him into it and he had fun....
This was right over our heads while Tim was riding! It was sweet Bella was a little nervous about her daddy riding it!
We ended the night with a Ferris Wheel ride with Papaw.
