July 21st-22nd

After the last few crazy busy weekends, we finally had one where we stayed home. My mom came down on Saturday to watch the kids for us Saturday night so we could go to Rewey’s fireworks. Since Bella was not a fan of fireworks I wasn’t going to make her go again to see them. We ended up leaving my mom with the kids a bit early, took Bella’s DVD player and a movie along with some snacks and had a date night on the side of the road waiting for the fireworks to start. It was really fun.  Sunday we hit up church and then just laid low.

July 9th–July 12th

So it got hot! This meant we spend a lot of time in doors. We did go out in the mornings for Bella’s swimming Lessons, which was a nice treat since it was in the upper 80’s by 10am! We went to playgroup on Tuesday and the library on Wednesday early.

Bella actually went off the diving board

Max in the waiting room..right after I took this I was called back.

Wearing my new barn boots.. they were only 10.00!

When you have a fussy baby you get nothing done.. so you put him in a basket until he screams for that too

Bella was so good at playing with her toys.. Daddy tried to get max to sleep, but Max had other ideas.

We are still here

So I’m trying to catch up. I did post out our fair days you can check them out here but here’s a picture post of what we were up to before then. 'I”ve been working hard on keeping the house clean and cleaning which has taken away from my computer time. I also have our mini camping trip to blog about too.  I can’t believe it’s almost September already. 

Bella starts preschool in two weeks. She’s very excited. Mommy is pretty excited and sad too. Bella is growing up!

The farm is keeping Josh busy. We are sort of in between harvest, but we know we have a long list of stuff that has to be done in the next couple of months. Planting and harvest are two of the busiest seasons.

I’m doing well. Trying to do the most i can before i get to large. I keep more of an update on Baby Bee’s website so check that out if you want to know more the baby.

 

Bella playing outside the milk house

 

The dogs find me first. Look at big Pepper is getting

Once Bella spots me, she yells “mom, mom” and comes running.

 

She is convinced you ride a scooter this way..without pushing off.

I see this face all the time through out the day

 

Bella helped Dad fix the hose so she could play in her pool with her new toys

We finished up swimming lessons. It got really chilly at the end.

 

Dress up a daily task

She rubs her head on the cat just like the cats do to her.

 

I see me in the pic on the left and Josh in the pic on the right..taken same day

 

I worked on cleaning out her closet and she found “new” toys to play with.

Bella is all about horses and ponies these days

 

We still have Peas and Carrot. They are getting bigger and now hang out both in the house and outside with the other animals

 

Bella playing with the water. This is a normal day activity.

Bella got “dressed up”

 

My panda calf. ALl the little black spots are flies. ;(

 

She let me put in pigtails, but still needed her Tiara

 

Can you figure out some of Bella’s favorite things?

 

Playing with her new paper dolls.. she loves these!

 

We finally got her swing up. Not in it’s final home, but now she can play on it.

We had rain showers that almost stopped the Tractor pulls, but Bella had fun playing in the rain with her “ brella” and barefeet

Aunt Kara came over to babysit. Bella decided to put together a puzzle with her.
