My little pony....

Bella all the sudden on Tuesday decided she was going to ride Zoe...she is so big some could mistake her for a pony! As you can tell Zoe is thrilled that Bella is sitting on her and Bella is quite excited about her new discovery!!!

This only lasted a minute or two before Zoe gently got up to go find another place to lay.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

We love you!
Tim, Allison and Izabella

Happy Valentine's Day 2008....

Sending lots of love from our
family to yours....
I tried all day to get a picture of Bella's cute tights but this is as close as I could get...she was too busy even though she wasn't feeling good!

Valentine Visitors and Goodies....

As you can see Bella was spoiled with lots of love on her 2nd Valentine's day!

Pretty Piggies....

After Bella's bath this afternoon to try and wash the rest of the germs off we played beauty shop and painted Bella's toe nails bright pink! She actually held pretty still but now mommy needs practice painting such small nails!

She loved her pretty piggies when we were done!

Valentine Morning...

Happy Valentine's to our sweet baby girl!!!!
We love you
SOOOO much,

mommy & daddy!!!!

It took Bella Raye a little while to notice her new baby high chair and books that were waiting for her this morning when she woke up but once she did she loved it!!! She took all the tissue and books out and instantly put the baby in the chair. She has been playing with it most of the morning! Bella is so sweet with her babies...feeding them, carrying them everywhere with her and patting them when they are upset!

These Boots Were Made For Walking????

Yesterday Bella and I were cleaning out her closet. Yes, Bella was really trying to help throwing everything in the rubbermaid box I had out for things she had out grown. I also got all her spring items out that I had bought on sale last season! I was quite surprise how much I had and at some great prices too!!! Gotta love that!

Anyways we were playing dress up and got her cool snow boots out that Grammy J got her around Christmas that we have only worn a few times...anyways I think she forgot she could walk in them! The video is too funny and her sad face at the end is pitiful! Ya gotta love her outfit too! She was running a low grade fever so we were keeping cool!

Jinxed....

Unfortunately I spoke too soon on Friday when I wrote about Izabella being healthy because on Monday she woke up with a crusty nose that got progressively worse with a low grade fever and all until last night. Now it is still pretty nasty but she is up playing and acting more like herself than she has in the last couple of days! I hope she gets over it soon!

Coloring vs. Eating???

My mommy was trying to get my to color some of my Valentine's and I was more into eating the crayons and figuring out how to get them out of the tadoodles.

I told mommy I may do it next year!

I love my daddy...

My daddy is sooo much fun...he is a big tickle monster and I just love it! We have started "rough" housing a litte more and I like that a lot too!

I know daddy loves playing with me!

Thank you, daddy!

Holy Moms Update....

Just thought I'd give you an update on Izabella's preschool/Mom's Day Out perspectives for next year! A week after we stood in line for 2 hours I also signed her up at the church we are members of and where my brother attended preschool.
We have not heard back from Northview but from what I can tell she is 10th on the waiting list..... getting there at 5:50 in the morning didn't do me much good! We did hear back from our church ,Orchard Park, and Izabella got put into the Little Lamb Friday's Mother's Day Out Program!!! YEAH! I think we will go ahead and put the deposit down and keep her there! I like that she got in on Friday's and that the program goes from 9am-2:20pm! Now I just hope the house we find this summer to move to isn't too far away but we will cross the bridge when we come to it!

Cousin Fun....

Are they cute or what?!?!?!

They have so much fun with each other! Bella is instantly in a good mood when she sees her cousin Wyatt! Their giggles are addicting!

After breakfast they came back over to our house and Wyatt and Bella got to play the rest of the day!

What a treat and how special that they love each other sooooo much!

Bubs Cafe...

Earlier in the week Sarah had told me about these fabulous donut holes and Bub's Cafe on the monon in Carmel (for those of you familiar with the Carmel...different location that Bub Burgers about 2 blocks south on the monon) So I couldn't get the donut holes out of my head and had to check them out. After church we had a table full....Suzi, Ernie, Wyatt, Grandma and Grandpa M, Grammy J and Papaw Ray, Rachel, Abby and Cathy. Everything we had there was YUMMY!!!! I am ready to go back tomorrow because there were so many things on the menu I couldn't decide but the donut holes are a MUST if you go! You will only need one!

The staff there was awesome too more than took care of all of us!

Fun at the Warner's

Saturday night the Warner's had us over for dinner! The girls all had so much fun playing. Claire and Emily are up walking all over the place! It is fun to watch little new walkers explore all their new options! What fun!
Thanks for a wonderful night of friendship!!!
