Busy i guess....

I just realized I had not been updating our blog....been busy with birthday parties, Gymboree, reading the Twilight series (now I know what all the hype is about!?!?) dance, meeting friends at the park, having Aidan over alot/going over there to let the kids play.

my 2 (furry) girls

Here are the dogs cuddling together on the couch, next to me of course. They don't cuddle together too often so Paul decided to take a pic!

Chef or Doctor?

Here is Bella helping me bake cookies over the weekend. I think she is either going to be a chef or a doctor. Either way it will be alot of hard work!

Paul's 'Garden'

Paul has planted alot of plants this year and is determined to plant a real garden in our yard next summer. This year we are growing cherry tomatoes (Bella's favorite!), plum tomatoes, peppers & strawberries. Hopefully they will flourish if we ever get any sunshine. They have gotten plenty of water/rain!

(Another) Cavs playoffs game!

This was the first Cavs game that Paul and I got to go to together. We had fun. We went downtown and ate at Quaker Steak & Lube and then headed to the game. The Cavs Rock! Lebron Rocks!

Bella's Graduation

So Bella had her graduation last week. They still had a week of school afterwards to attend but...whatever. We thought she would be her usual self and be shy and not want to sing or go up there but SURPRISE! She was center stage and one of the the stars. The teachers always tell us they put her center stage so she 'leads ' the group because when she does participate she is extremely loud. There is one other little girl who sings real loud too like Bella. They have to be close so they do not drown each other out and stay on cue together, so I am told by the teachers. They sang like 8 songs and I did every emotion from crying in the beginning to laughing so hard my cheeks hurt. Some of the songs I had heard Bella sing around the house before but never all the way through or with all the motions of some of them. It was a hoot. We had an ice cream social afterwards. Grama & Papa, Nonny & Opa, Aunty Mandy (Fresh from the airport!) and of course Mommy, Daddy and Gwen were all there.

Mrs. Liba, Bella & Mrs. Konarski

this is the "Tootie-ta-ta" song. they saved it for last because it is the kids's favorites and they enjoy it so much. All at the same time, they have to do thumbs up, elbows back, feet apart, knees together, tongue out, turn around (butt facing crowd!).

We love you beautiful Bella and can't believe you are going to kindergarden in the fall! Where has the time gone? You have blossomed so much since you started school. You act like a Christian girl should (most of the time) and we are so proud and glad that you have that foundation of religion started in your life! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

One for the books

I am laying in bed with Bella tonight and she rolls over to go to sleep and farts really loud; nothing unusual for her.

Bella: "that was a daddy fart. did you hear that?"
Me: "of course I heard that" as I cannot hold my laughter anymore...
''I hope you don't fart like that at school."
Bella: "I do."
Me: "Do you say excuse me? What if someone hears you?"
Bella: "they are talking. I don't do it during show n' tell though when everyone is quiet."
