A Night with the Bees

There's nothing better than a 80 degree summer night and going to the baseball stadium to watch a game. It was such a perfect night and we had so much fun spreading out a blanket on the grass. There was quite a pile of sunflower seeds in front of us by the time we left but it was so nice to spend some time together. Below is a picture of the kids at the game. That was as much as we could get Bella to hold still to take the picture.

July 4th Celebration

We had a really fun 4th celebration at my Aunt Roberta and Uncle Matt's house. We BBQ'd hamburgers and hotdogs and had homemade ice cream (my favorite part) and then they broke out the water slide, water guns and the water balloons. And then we ended the whole night with fireworks. Tommy and I only had Bella this year for the 4th and she was just tuckered out so we didn't watch much of the fireworks and drove home with a very tired little girl.

Here's our Bella playing on the water slide.

I took this picture of Natalia as she was jumping through the water and

thought it was pretty funny.

Here's the girls getting ready to play in the water.

From the left that's Bella, Natalia and Bailey (a friends daughter).

Week of Milestones

We had a few milestones last week. Starting with Tommy hitting the big 40! We had a small BBQ at Mom's house and had cake too. Here's Tommy blowing out his candles!

The next day we hit a big milestone as a couple and had our 1st Anniversary. Some days it seems like we've been married forever and some days it seems like yesterday. We spent the day together and saw a movie and went to an early dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. YUM! All in all it was a nice day to spend together and I'm glad every day that we were married. I'd do it all over again.

The Wow Wow Blanket

Wow Wow Wubbzy is a cartoon on TV that Bella has become completely addicted to. She loves Wubbzy! Every night she watches it before she goes to sleep or she'll decide that she wants to watch it and she'll come to Daddy or I and say "Wow, Wow! Wow Wow!" and do her little 18 month old dance until we turn on Wow Wow.

The other day I went to the store to grab a few groceries and I usually stop by the fabric department and check the clearance fabric or if there's anything new and cute in to make blankets out of. Well on this particular day there it was a Wow Wow Wubbzy print! I had to buy it and be the best Mom ever! And boy was I. As soon as she saw the material she was carrying around the material and singing "Wow Wow, Wow Wow." I had to hurry and make into a blanket in one day because she had such a fit when I took it away from her. So I hurried and tied and sewed it the same day and she sat on the couch next to me as I did it and she just watched intently as I sewed it up for her. Every once in a while she'd point at it and say "Wow Wow" and laugh and clap her hands.

So here is her with her Wow Wow blanket that she now can't live without.
