Rainy Days

Little frogs can make this little girls day! She talked about this frog for two days straight and it still make me smile looking at these pictures.

Pool Time

Little one wanted to look just like me on our trip to the pool! So stinkin cute!

Belle could honestly live in the water. For the current moment she practically lives under the water. Today she mastered a back flip underwater and a front flip underwater. I couldn't believe it! I had to drag her to the big pool so she wouldn't hit her head flopping around the two foot pool!

I have to make her slow down and catch her breath because she water boards herself until I say something! I am tempted to time how long she holds her breath but I will refrain until next summer when she is a little older! Until then we will continue to enjoy the pool on a daily basis.

My little girl

Gosh I just have to gush about how much I adore Belle. She honestly brings so much happiness to our family! I love the days we spend together and look forward to the girl she will become. Already I see her growing up (potty trained) and I can't help but just feel proud.

This August she starts school two days a week at the Methodist Church. She also is enrolled in Ballet ;) and maybe she won't inherit my clumsiness!

Splash Pad

Girl loves her water and all of her friends!! Fun day in the sun on this hot Texas day!

Dog Shaming

Not sure if you have heard of the term 'dog shaming' but it's when you take a picture of your dog wearing a sign that explains what he did wrong. I was too lazy to make a sign but here is Roscoe-
He sign would read:

"I love my mom so much that I have decide to not be potty trained anymore."

My fault. I know. I wanted a dog.

Back Home

The flight home was a success despite me forgetting to pack an extra set of clothes for Belle. She has been potty trained for a month now but of course accidents can happen anytime. She made it the whole trip without any problems!!

Today we are planning on just relaxing and getting the house in working order. Later this week we might venture out for a little excitement but for now just the boring laundry routine!

Flight to Oklahoma

Last Thursday we braved a plane trip to Oklahoma to see family. I have to say that this flight was the best flight we have ever done! A short one hour flight with zero tears and tantrums literally made me want to fly as a family more often. Isabelle had so much fun from the lounge in the airport to looking at all the planes. I am so proud of how she acted and I love watching her grow up!

Mom Visits

My mom came to visit a few weeks ago but here are some of the photos from the trip! Isabelle had an awesome time and truly loves her Grandma :)

Now that my house is put back together I am hoping to have more time to write in the blog. This year has been challenging to say the least. Isabelle definitely keeps me on the run leaving little time for myself!

Play Mags

I am always looking for fun and educational activities for Belle. I want learning to be fun and creative. I came across the Play Mags, geometric shapes with magnets, and I had to buy them. So far she is love with the endless possibilities!

She is now understanding three dimensional shapes. She can properly make a pyramid and knows how many triangles it takes! I asked her at dinner, "how many triangles does it take to make a pyramid?" and she looked up, counted in her hand and then proudly said, "four"! Such a smarty pants ;)

Love that she loves to learn!!

First Hair Cut!

Randomly on Friday after a lunch date I took Belle to get her hair cut! That morning she cried and cried when I brushed her hair so I figured it was time to finally get all those dead ends gone. She loved it! The whole day she kept asking Roscoe to look at her hair and even three days later she still says it!

I can't believe how stinking cute she looks and how much easier it is to brush her hair! Plus she still has her famous curls so that makes me really happy. Of course I still saved a couple of ringlets for the baby book!
