Parents in Town

Just spending time with the fam ;) So glad my parents came up for the weekend while Nate is traveling!

Ballet

First day of ballet was a success! She had so much fun and I had a hour to sit and do nothing!! Looks like I will be buying a book ;)

Despite the photo she really was happy- just not happy for the photo.

Go Stros!

We took Belle to her first MLB game last Sunday and she loved it!! She couldn't take her eyes off the bull pen and so the catcher gave her a signed ball! Nate and I couldn't believe it... In all our years we have never had this done :(

So glad to that she enjoys the game but she will never be a catcher... Sorry! First base maybe or outfield.

Day 1

Perfect day out! In the morning we helped GG take her car in to be fixed the had a birthday lunch for Belle. After the presents we done we ventured off to the preserve to feed the turtles where I used my nice camera to capture some really good photos.

Then we headed off to the beach for some afternoon fun! The day ended with pizza and music. Can't beat that ;)

Florida

We are having our 2nd annual girls vacation in Florida right now! Isabelle and I flew to Tampa and met my mom in the airport. Then we drove the rental car to grandma Warrens house!

Of course we had to make a stop at the beach once we got in :) I can't keep the girl away from water!

To a week of memories!

Sorry all for the last post! I accidentally emailed the blog instead of myself ;) I will delete it at some point! The funny part about it is my mom read through the entire thing thinking something funny was in it! Ahhh. Good laughs.

Cigar Roscoe

Sometimes his endless happiness combines beautifully with his stupidity. This is one of those moments.

Hope it made you smile :)

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!
