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!

Playing with Mamaw

Having so much fun in the jumper

Playing with Camden

I LOVE this girl!!!

In true Bella style, being a little standoffish when we first got to Dallas' house.

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!

That girl LOVED her some Shamu!!!!
Papaw drinking Pepsi, Bella eating popcorn. Both mesmerized by Shamu.See, Mo and Staci???? Shamu is a BELIEVEr, too!!!!

Here is the big fish kissing his trainer. Cute pic but what you don't see is the trainer actually kisses Shamu's tongue, ughhh!!!!

Check out Shamu waving to the crowd!

Bella clapping for her "favorite fish"!!!!

See, Mommy???? I WANT one of those!!!!

First Attempt at Easter Card Pics

Easter is quickly approaching and I haven't taken any Easter pics of her. She has been sick for the past week and still doesn't feel well so she wasn't in a great mood but here are a few of the ones we took today.

That's my sweet girl!

San Antonio Zoo

The San Antonio Zoo is one of my favorite zoos. (My absolute fave is the San Diego Zoo!) Here are Papaw and Bells riding down the hotel corridor. That's where she stays perched now....right on Papaw's lap. I need to sign her up for the new 12 step program....Papaws Anonymous!

They had this cute little petting zoo, although it should've been called the goat cage. The petting zoo only had goats in there but it didn't stop Bella from talking to them. She tried to kiss one of them as I was taking a picture but the picture blurred from me running and hollering "NOOOOOO!!!".
Papaw, Nana and Bella were looking at the ducks when she got excited and .....started running to her mama! She then dragged me by the hand back up to where they were to make sure that I saw them too!

In deep thought.....

Staring at the prairie dogs.

They had these cute little animal statues. This one of the kimodo dragon was the first one that we saw. The next one was the lion but it was later in the day and Mama wasn't thinking that it had gotten alot warmer when I sat her on it. Just couldn't figure out why she was crying. (All book sense, no common sense!) :)

One of Bella's favorites.....the "flingoes". So much for saying flamingo!

Fun at the hotel.

Bella loves Papaw's scooter!!! Here she was climbing up on it and trying to make "vroom vroom" noises! I just can't keep her hair outta her eyes!

Now this next pic is showing Belle engaging in one of her favorite pasttimes. If she isn't shoving her finger up her nose then she is shoving food up there. I can't even begin to tell you the things I have retrieved from there!!!

Here is Miss America getting ready to go 'wim. That's her version of swim! I swear I think she's part fish! She loves the water!After all of the nose picking and the swimming, it was DEFINITELY bath time! These next two poses may be my all time favorite ones of her!

Next post will be our stop at the San Antonio Zoo! See you soon!
