Mother's Day 2009

Mother's Day....a day I particularly enjoy due to it reminds me of just how lucky and blessed I am to have my Belle (as if I needed reminding....that girl took WORK to keep her safe and not too premature!) Here is my love bug with her Aunt No-No. The pool was frigid but it wasn't a deterrent for these kids!

Ahhh, now just how beautiful is my girl???

Here is Slade...aka Curly Q. I LOVE this boy!!! (and after almost two years, Bella likes him, too!) Not too long ago, you couldn't get those two in the same room together without there being blood shed! I guess they've decided that neither one of them is going anywhere and they're just gonna have to learn to like each other! No problems now though. They're buds.

Mamaw with some of her great-grands. Amazing that everyone was looking at the camera AND smiling! A once in a lifetime photo!

A Trip To the Zoo

Dallas and I loaded up the kiddos and headed to the zoo. It's been raining so much we figured the kids would enjoy a day outside. Boy, did they ever..... Here are Cam and Slade monkeying around!

Look how big this boy has gotten in just four short years!!!!

The Belle-Belle doin' her thang.

Cousins and best friends....

Polllllyyyyy LOL

Well as you can see, there are no "after" pics. My poor baby can't help it that her mother is hair stylingly challenged. Was that a even a word??? I took her hair out of the rollers after about two hours. Kinked right on up, looking like she had been playing with the electrical outlets. So sponge rollers are a big, fat NO when it comes to Bella's hair. May have to break out the curling iron. Sheesh, the last time I used that thing was probably to accentuate my big hair in the 80's/early 90's! I wonder if it still works..... Polly, I just may have to bring Bella up to the shop and let you work your magic!!!

A Hair-y Issue

This is Mommy's attempt to put some more curls in Bella's hair for her upcoming pageant. Bella did great. All you have to do with her is sit her in front of "Wow, Wow Wubbzy" and she is in a trance! Depending on the outcome of this hair, I will post the "after" pics. LOL! Hey Polly, where are ya? :) I just may need your help!

The back view.

Just had to throw this one in. She was in DIRE need of a nap but I wanted to try her pageant dress on her. As you can see from this pic, it went REALLY well! :) Hope she doesn't make that face later!

SEAWORLD!!!!!

Seaworld was the highlight of our trip! We had so much fun. Bella loved, loved, loved Shamu. She stared at this Beluga whale. It's not the prettiest little critter but he put on a great show!

They started out the show with the divers/trainers diving into the water. Bella saw them jump into the water and they didn't immediately come back up. In fact, they stayed underwater for awhile. Anyhoo, she started crying because she didn't know they were "k". :) When they came back up, she was fine!

Here's my little punkin pie pointing at the Shamu statue. She wouldn't sit still in front of it long enough for me to get the proverbial tourist photo! Imagine that!
