St. George

Friday, May 15, 2009
Bret headed to Austin to golf with his dad this weekend, so I headed to St. George with his Mom and sisters. It was nice to just be a long for the ride, though I can't believe how much stuff a baby requires! We stayed with Chris's good friends Jo and Jim. They have a beautiful home and were so nice. Bella loved every minute, especially sleeping in her princess tower. Here she is making delicious chocolate waffles for breakfast!
This was June's first experience in the swimming pool. She wasn't too pleased. I am hoping it was just too loud for her. She warmed up to it a bit by the end, but we are going to have to work on this!
Bella of course jumped right in and started having a ball!

We stopped at this great Splash Park that Janine told us about. The kids loved it! Bella loved running and playing in all the water. She did not stop the whole time. She would sit on this rock and pose like a mermaid and then...
Jump into the water to get her fins wet.
The funniest moment was when she told me sitting on the rocks gets sand in her bum, but that's okay because I just lay down in the water and it gets it out. This place is a must visit if you are in St. George, just make sure you wear clothes you don't mind with a little red tint!

Aloha!

Most of my family just got back from Hawaii. Just thought I would post a little Hawaiian sweetie in case you are missing the islands!

Happy Mother's Day!

Both the girls.

Happy Mother's Day. We had a fun afternoon with Bret's family.

Bella was very excited about the pinata. Looks like all the girls need a little coaching on how to hit!

Pandas!

What is it about me that wants to dress my daughters alike? I just love it when they match. June saw these jammies and thought they were so funny so we had to have them. She still laughs every time I show them to her. These two girls got very silly as soon as we got the camera out, but this is my favorite shot!

The Bike

Bella loves her new bike and is very excited to have Dad help her every night after work. She is starting to get the hang of it, but needs just a little help still!

Me Too!

Not wanting to be left out, June joined Dad and Bella in their nightly ritual of milk and cookies. She loved it, but I am not quite ready for her crumbs in the bed too!

The Planetarium

Thursday, April 30, 2009
Bella was very excited for her school field trip to the planetarium. She woke up at 6:00 in the morning and kept asking "Is it time yet?" I finally had to get her a watch and tell her what time we would be leaving. She spent quite a while just watching the numbers move. It wasn't until we left that I realized she was really just excited because Dad was going to take her. They seemed to have a good time and I enjoy some quality shopping time at Gateway.
