10 Months!!!

I am behind on my blogging but catching up! Bella turned 10 months old on 10-23-09! I simply cannot believe how fast she is growing in just 2 months she will be 1!!! She is eating all kinds of baby food, loves her "puff" snacks, and drinking water from her sippy cup. She is talking all day long and loves to play with her toys and books in her room, as well as watch Praise Baby! She is a huge blessing and we are so thankful to be her mommy and daddy!

Happy Birthday Mom! ( Better late than NEVER!)

My precious mom turned 60 on October 12 and we celebrated by planning a surprise trip for her! My mom is an amazing women who loves the Lord, her family, her husband, raised three pretty awesome daughters and is truly the world's best Mimi to her 6 grand kids! When my sisters and I started thinking about how to celebrate we decided we just really wanted to all be together and hang out which we do not get to do but about 2 times a year! So we rented a house on table rock lake and headed to Branson, Mo for 4 days! We had such a great time shopping, eating, laughing, crying, eating, shopping, seeing a show,eating, and just being together! My parents, all the girls and spouses, and all 6 grand kids that's 14 total! I am truly blessed to have the family I have and my mom is the center of that blessing! Mom I hope you had an amazing birthday and know how much you are truly loved! I was not very good at taking pictures but here are a few! We had a photographer come and do a family photo which turned out amazing I will post the link later!

9 Months and Heelarious!

Miss Bella celebrated her 9 month birthday on 9-23-09! She is crawling everywhere, eating everything, and loving life! She is the happiest baby and we are so blessed! These pictures were taken last week her first time to wear her high heels. When we found out we were having a girl I saw these baby high heels on the today show and wanted them soooo bad. Josh forbids me to order them and I was not so thrilled about it. Then a couple of weeks later I got a package at my office with these high heels and a note that said " Mommy and Bella Daddy loves you both!" Yeah I cried! Well she wore them and I love them and she is just so cute in them! Thanks for sharing her with us!

Poor Baby Bella!

This photo will probably win me "Mother of the year!" Last week Bella was playing in her jumper and I guess she just played too hard! I left the room and came back to her asleep! Please do not call DHS I promise we take really good care of her but it was just too cute not to capture!! Gosh I love that little Junebug!

Disney on Ice 2009!!

For the past 3 years we have taken Gracie to opening night of the State Fair and Disney on Ice! Lets face it I love a good ice show and anything for that little niece of mine! She had a great time and so did Amy and I!! I cannot wait til little Bella comes along! I did take her to the Fair on Saturday with Josh and Mimi and Papa but we have NO pictures because we left the camera battery at home BRILLIANT I know!!

GO POKES!!!!

As you all know Today was the start of college football season and we of course all were wearing
ORANGE! Bella was one super cute little fan and the Cowboys beat Georgia 24 to 10! We heart Oklahoma State and are looking forward to a great season of great football and super cute outfits and bows for Bella! GO COWBOYS! Loyal and true to our Alma Mater OSU!!!

8 Months!!!

Bella turned 8 months on 8-23-09 and I am truly loving this stage of her life! She is so fun and happy and oh my goodness is she ever ACTIVE. She goes non stop already she is pretty mobile she is not fully crawling but she can most certainly move where she wants to go it is hilarious! She keeps me on my toes to say the least!!! I just cannot say enough about how happy and easy going she is, such a true joy! She loves pears, carrots, applesauce, cereal, and her bottles of course! She does not like the church nursery but we are working on that I think she has major attachment issues to her momma and Dada! She also loves to talk a true chatter box just like her momma! Well as you can tell we love our little Junebug and consider it pure joy and blessings to be the ones God trusted to raise her! Enjoy the pictures and thanks for sharing her life with us!
