American Princess

A friend of mine gave Bella about 20 Dress up dresses.
Every 5 minutes she has to change her out fit so she can wear each dress by the end of the day.
I started making her learn to dress herself!

She made me paint her toes and take a picture of her in each dress, These are just some of them!

Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010!

What a ride 2009 has been...

In 2009,

I lost my job.

Paid off a credit card.

Said my final goodbye to my Grandpa.

I turned 25! (half way to fifty)

Bella turned 2.

James graduated Police Academy.

James started a new job.

Two of my best friends got married.

Other friends had their babies.

James lost 60+ Pounds.

I stayed fat.

We went camping several times.

Our vacation was to Yellowstone.

I got up on the wake board for the first time.

I got to babysit my friends Twin baby girls every Tues, Weds, Thurs.

I got a new job!

Many, Many other things that are just escaping my mind at the moment.

Enjoy some photo's that mean a lot to me from this year!

This year, I plan on focusing on making my family stronger and being fat no longer.

Here's to a New Year, and a new chance at getting it right!

Fall Leaves

Just a little something to hold your interest while I decide what my next blog will be about.

I'm sure the next pictures I post will have something to do with the snow.

But right now I am hating the snow.

Disney's Princess on Ice

I have been telling Bella that if she was potty trained by the time the princess show came that I would take her.
Well that didn't exactly happen but I couldn't deprive her of the experience.
We decided that only one of us could take Bella and of course I won.

She of course had to have a toy. Most of the toys were $20 and I could see them breaking very easily. I was able to find a $12 Cinderella and she still wont put the thing down. Seriously the best money I have ever spent. I would take her every day if I could.

The genie was probably the thing she remembers most. He scared her when he came out of the lamp.

She didn't get a nap that day so she struggled to keep her eyes open at the end.

I was prepared and brought some snacks for the show!

This was her face most of the time. She just had this stunned look. Every once in a while she would let out a scream.

She talks about the castle every day too.

That was her face when she saw Cinderella and that's her new doll she now won't let go of.

Can't wait for next year's show! Hoepfully by next years she might be potty trained...If were lucky!

Story of a Princess

I love you Bella!

I'm so glad you are learning new things every day....Even if it is shocking sometimes!

Miracles do happen!

WE went for a hike in Milcreek canyon.

This is my beautiful baby girl enjoying the ride while we had to use our legs like a sucker.

Now to the miracles part,

Yep that's my dog being nice to me and letting me take the leash! Maybe we can get along after all.

She even stayed with me to take a few pics and the rest of the way down the mountain.

Then there was this pretty sight!

I had to take a picture of my husband doing dishes cuz well, it doesn't happen all that often. In fact I was starting to think he didn't know how to use the dishwasher. But there he is and it's proof miracles do happen!.....Hand off ladies that dishwasher is all mine!!

Twilight Series

I want to blog about a few things that we did this month but there are more important things at hand!

I finally jumped on the Twilight wagon. Err....Read the books at least.

After I saw the first movie I figured I really had no choice but to read the books. With the next movie coming out soon, I figured I better get on it.

It took me about a month to read all four books. I gotta say I loved it more than I thought I would. I really was sick of people asking me if I named my Bella after the books (even though my Bella came first) That I just thought i would not read them all together.

I am soooo glad I did and now I can not wait for the 2ND movie!!!
