My favorite Bella pics

I'm taking myself down a trip through memory lane.

Call it sentimental (or lack of sleep and insomnia

as I laid awake last night watching Bella and Cristiano

sleep). I had to go through and post my favorite

pictures of my Isabella Grace. She's come into

her own over the last year and has grown over an

inch in the last month. It all happens so fast, sometimes

I wish you could just bottle up the

'littleness' of our kids.

Bella's 2nd halloween - 'mini-pocahontas'

At DisneyWorld waiting for the High School
Musical parade


Catching leaves with daddy outside our house


Her favorite summer outfit from Tita Abbie

Swimming lessons with Coach Sellers

Cheesy Bella

Where's the catwalk? And the pool..??

My parents let me run around the front

yard and play in the sprinklers.

I attended my first professional footbal

game - RAIDERS
(and slept almost the whole time)

Carving pumpkins with daddy

She still plays with this dollhouse on a

daily basis... one of santa's best

gifts

Our favorite FURRRRY Family Member

We can't leave out our favorite furry family member

from our updates. Kobe LOVES the outfits Shawn

gets from him (as you can see from the very

disgruntled look on his face). He's one of the most

loving cats in the world!!! You can't love him

enough. We lovingly tell everyone that he has a

'frontal butt' - as he graciously shows everyone

his royal 'fatness'...

'Wendy's anyone'?? Or maybe he's going for

the Little Bo Peep look.

Christmas Break Activities...

A wedding dress for Tita Abbie designed

by Bella

Playdough beach scene complete with palm trees,
people laying out and swimming, and beach toys

I love my Ate

Best gift ever! Empty Box 3000... provides

countless hours of spontaneous and

creative fun

Bella the baker - I'm teaching her to work

with icing and make flowers

Cristiano watching his Ate Bella

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas spending time with

our family and best friends. In case you're

wondering... we are on the verge of sending out

our holiday cards :)

Bella is enjoying her new kitchen set and
American Girl doll. Her kitchen is well
stocked and organized (my kind of girl!)

Daddy giving baby kisses...

Thank you Santa!!!!
