It has been soooo cold here, so we get all bundled up before we go outside...and it reminds me of "A Christmas Story" where Ralphy's little brother says "I can't put my arms down!"

What a funny picture - both girls in their own way are so distracted by all the presents and could just care less about another picture! We had such a fun day. Both girls got sooooo spoiled. I love experiencing everything thru little eyes...all the magic!

We had so much fun at the fair!!!! It was Kierra's birthday and her and BIll played like a bunch of kids...of course Kierra is 13...but what was Bill's excuse??? He is young at heart.

I have a really cute video clip....but drop shots and I have been going rounds for an hour...so, they win. If any of you know how to access video clips easily, PLEASE let me know!!!!!!

Wow! It has been a LONG time since I posted last. I have a lot of catching up to do!

April was fun. On the 30th we had Bella dedicated in Roseburg. (I don't have pictures of that online because we were using a different camera that weekend.) Also that weekend we had a really fun Barbeque hosted by Summer and Shaun were everyone came to meet our babe.

May - We went to Pennsylvania to so Belle could meet here Great Grandma. While we were there Bella cut her first 2 teeth....she wasn't even 4 months old yet! Bill was so sad he missed it. Then at the end of the month we went to California so Belle could meet all of her Thomas relatives...especially Grandma and Grandpa!!!!! We surprised them, it was so fun!

June - Bill went to Uganda for 3 weeks! I don't know how I made it without him except for the grace of God. We were sooooo happy to have him home!

July - So many first!!!! The zoo, the ocean, 4th of July, swimmin', sunnin'....we have had a blast! Actually we went to the ocean 3 times in July....we want to buy a house in Westport so bad!!!!

August - Another big month! I turned 30 and Bella learned to crawl! She is on the go now! I love it, she chases my feet! She is such a doll!

September - Well it is only the 5th, but it has already been a big month...we just closed on our first home!!!!! Thank you Jesus! Hip horray! We bought a house! I have to download the pics, I will do that later....

Okay, done for now. Remember, you can view all of the photos from this summer by double clicking on any of the photos and it takes you straight to my flickr account.

Love you all!

At last!!!!! I have finally updated the blog site!!!! I am so sorry it has taken me so long...I have been very busy with the cutest little girl in the whole wide world...as you can see for yourself now. :)

You can see all 39 pictures that we posted to the web (not all of them are on the blog site) by double clicking on any of the photos. It takes you straight to our flickr account.

Okay, I have spent way to much time on this computer....more time making mistakes than acutally blogging, but I have a hungry girl and I must go. Now since I know how to do this I will do it more often...and Bill knows how to also, so you can all bug him if I don't get to it. (That was a lonnnnnngggg sentence!)

Talk to you later. Love the 3 of us!

So Cute Girl!!!!
