Beautiful Belle

This is my latest work in photography :) Of course she is so easy to shoot because she is so stinkin beautiful. I absolutely cannot believe that she will be 3 in a matter of weeks. Time seriously flies by when you are busy moving and soaking up all the one on one moments!

Next week we plan to visit my grandmother, Belle's Great Grandmother, in Florida. We did this trip last year along with my mom who will also be attending again this year! I love that four generations will be hanging out together and creating memories. I plan to take my camera along and subject my family to tons of photos and hopefully I can capture half of the fun we plan to have.

Wish me luck and let me know if there are any photo ideas? I know for sure that I want to try and get one with the four of us looking out at the ocean sunset... we will see what I can actually get as opposed to what I want!! I am excited either way :) practice makes closer to perfect right?

Ballet

Summer is coming to an end and with the end of summer brings the fall activities. Belle starts Ballet in the middle of August! She must wear all pink, no tutu, and have her hair in a single pony tail. The dance school she will be attending has a strict policy on attire and behavior so I am hoping she likes it!

Little one couldn't wait to try on her outfit and dance around the house with classical music playing. No doubt she loves the act of ballet! I couldn't quite capture a good picture because of her constant motion but the idea is not lost. For her real class I will get some video!

Bubble Love

Not really love on my part but a definite love on her part. Luckily I have found little straw like bubble wands! This prevents the whole eating the bubbles dilemma which makes me happy :)

Cheers to a great summer!

Drawing

There are some days where all of the sudden things click for Isabelle. I love being able to capture all these moments! Today it clicked on drawing people! Now she is starting to connect drawing with imagination and I look forward to the new creations she will make!!!

This picture she drew and said mommy the people are skating :) I drew the triangle just incase you thought she did but everything else is hers!

Puppy Love

Seriously this might be the cutest moment I have seen from both of them in recent time.

Brother and sister rivalry makes me insane!

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.
