Happy Birthday Bella!

5 years ago today our sweet Bella arrived. I can't believe how fast the time is flying with these kids. In 2 weeks this baby girl is heading to kindergarten! Thank goodness for Gabbi or I would be sobbing right now.

Bella at 8 months
9 months
1st birthday


We've been celebrating the older kid's birthdays all month long whenever we can get together with family. This weekend Brian's family came over for a BBQ, slip and sliding, and a pinata smash. This year the cake theme was little mermaid. I was informed tonight that next year it will be Cinderella. Nothing like planning ahead.



Silly us made the mistake of putting lots of chocolate in the pinata and letting it hang outside too long, so lots of smashed, smushy candy.
Bella is still super girly, and loves being a big sister. Doesn't love being a little sister much, though. She enjoys cooking up tasty meals in her cafe and driving the tractor, as long as she can look like a lady while doing it. She also enjoys tea parties, swimming, and root beer.


The children are obsessed with fried shrimp, so we went out for a birthday lunch to the cracker barrel (close to daddy's office so he could meet us), and then onto the park. We finished the day off with some pizza, cake, and a bubble bath. Fun was had by all.
Happy birthday big girl!
