September Days


Bella at our church playgroup. Of course she had to dive into the fountain. She sure does love the water.




Bella with her friend Hayley at the mall. It was so fun to see our friends that had moved to Houston. They are just a couple of days apart and they just loved getting into trouble together!


Life has been so fun and yet crazy out here! I can't believe that it is already a couple of weeks into September and that Halloween is just around the corner. Bella is growing up so fast and is really becoming quite the show off. She loves to dress up and be girly, but at the same time loves to get dirty in the mud with the boys. I think that it is a great combination. There has been great news on the allergy front, Bella is now allergy free and is enjoying the new taste of milk products. This has been great for me not having to prepare a separate meal for her and plus, all of the choices I now have before me for her breakfast and lunch foods. This has been so nice and we are so lucky that it has been very short lived.

We got Bella a VW Bug, of course the Power Wheels model (like we have that much money :)). We found it off of Craigslist for a great deal and she loves it! She just drives around the house trying to run over our cats and us! We are so proud! I have attached a video of her crazy driving for you all to enjoy. She also has now signed up for a gymnastics class. Her little friend Lucy and her will now be gymnastic superstars. Look for them in the 2024 Olympics :)! She loved the bars and was really excited to be able to jump and walk on the beam. We will have pictures of this shortly. It will be so fun to see her wear a little leotard for her classes. She also has been enjoying her Kindermusik class. She loves to dance and loves music so this class has been great for her and especially me. These classes have been so nice in getting her energy out and also getting her out to play with other kids.

We are also so happy because the Dallas Cowboys season started up again ! We love the Cowboys and are going to miss going to the games out here.

Rick is still going strong in his last year of dental school. After all of the tears of him picking Baylor over UNLV, I am so glad that we chose Baylor and what a blessing it truly has been. This is a great place to live, I just wish that it was a little closer to home. If it was, we definitely would be staying.

I hope you all are doing well and I will be checking in on your blogs!

OOOK! I was laughing SO hard watching Bella in her car! She is so stinkin' cute. I had to have Sophia watch her.
How old is she now? I CANNOT believe how many words she says and how long her hair is! What a sweetheart.
I'm glad you are back to blogging *wink, wink*

Kelly all I can say is that I hope she gets her dad's driving ability. I just remember when you recked your car door backing out of your garage. Just kidding you are a good driver. Love the pictures Bella is getting so big. Glad to hear you are having fun in Texas.

Youare like the nicest mom ever...a powered car in an apartment? Bella has grown up so much, I can hardly believe she is talking so much. She is adorable and looks to be keeping you busy.

Bella really is growing up. I can't believe how big she looks. It sounds like you are having a lot of fun with her right now. I'm glad to hear she's outgrown he allergies. I bet you are so relieved. I'd love to talk. Give me a call or I'll call you in the next few days.

Wait - so does that mean that someday you will be leaving us?? NO!! You can't!
I'm so glad to have gotten to know you. You ROCK!

I love the pic of Bella covered in water. That is totally something Connor would do too! Just know, you're not alone. Maybe I can come over someday and she can take me for a spin in her VW!

Can you believe Fall is already beginning? I love the pictures of Bella and her bug! Hayley found this beat up old push car in front of someone's house (trash day) and will not get out of it. It's now in our garage. I need to check out the Bug! You'll have to tell me about gymnastics! That's exciting! Linsey

She is so cute. My boys ride their trikes in the house so I know what you are going through.

I am so so happy that the allergies are gone!! Yay! She is getting so big!! And Kelly, just because I moved to Utah doesn't mean we can't still be friends. Sorry, but you are stuck with me... You better at least send me an e-mail!! :)
