New pics of Bella!

And...I'm Back!!

So...several people lately have given me a REALLY really hard time about not keeping up with my blog. THANK YOU! I needed that. To be honest I didn't think anyone even looked at it anymore...I was wrong. So, with that in mind, here is a little update and a few pics of our Spring/Summer! I have a lot of pictures I still need to download so I hope to do that soon!

That's my girl!!!


Future Pianist? I thinks so... :)


We made a trip to the coast again with the Burkholder gang and it was a lot of fun! Bella had a ton of fun playing in the sand with her cousins!





Bella and I were so so happy to get to go to California with Nana to visit Auntie Amy and cousin Mia!! We had an absolute BLAST!! Highlight of my summer for sure! :)







Bella with her cousins Riley and Brady!


Here are a few pictures of our house...this was the weekend that we showed our house for the Fiesta Home Tour!






Bella's poses!!




Bella's first Easter Egg Hunt!!


Bella's favorite place to go!! The zoo:)

B...e...l...l...a's FIRSTS!!!

Bella got to meet Santa for the first time...only missed it by a couple of days last time!! haha


And got to see snow for the first time!! :)
Then she turned ONE and had her first birthday party! Lots of fun:)

Then, she had her first night away from mommy...(way harder on mommy then her!)...okay, not just one night, but 10 long nights. Our mission trip to South Africa was amazing, but I was really ready to be home with my hubby and little Beauty! Here are a few pics of her time with Daddy while I was away...they had so much fun together! She is one lucky girl!
Walks at the lake!
He wore her out everyday!
Fun bath times!
More walks!
And lots of silly time! :)
These two love each other SO much! :) And I'm pretty crazy about them myself!
Then mommy came home, what a sweet day that was! So, pigtails and all, our little girl is growing up! We have a walker on our hands now...so much fun! By the way, sorry I'm so bad at this blogging thing...she has my hands tied! Maybe I'll try to get a video up of her walking...don't cross your fingers, but I'll try! :) haha.
