Happy Fourth of July!

Wow we had a very busy day on the 4th of July! It started out with two very awake kiddos. This meant everyone was up early.


Max all dressed up in his fourth of July best. I had to show Bella she had the same bib as Max did when she was little. Then Bella found her stick unicorn and requested a picture of them together.



In our small town they still hold swimming lessons on the 4th. It was just Bella and one other little girl, so they two girls got a lot of extra attention. Bella loves to swim with the noodles

We stopped over by Great Grandma and Poppy’s house. Bella loves to do puzzles at their house. She’s getting to be a pro. I think Great Grandma is going to have to start getting harder or more pieces for her to do.

Max enjoyed hanging out on the floor. He tried to show off his crawling, but mostly just slid across the wooden floor.

playing with great Grandma while the adults caught up.

So I tried for pictures together, but the kids weren’t really in the mood..more of Max wasn’t. Poor little guy is teething and doesn’t want to do much of anything,.

Bella 4 in less than a month and Max 7.5 months old.

I love watching them interact together. Max really wanted to eat Bella’s cinderella doll. She was explaining to him why he couldn’t.

After lunch and naps, Bella got her swimming suit on so that she could play in the pool.Two of the people that milks for us brings along their kiddos, so Bella has a playmate in one of them. The other is Max’s age so they don’t really play.


We decided it was too hot and to splurge a little and hit up Happy Joe’s sampler night. We found a Pizza bella loves, Chicken Bacon ranch. She asked was the brown stuff was, we said Bacon. She said I love bacon. She asked about the white stuff, We said Ranch. She said I love ranch. Then she told us it had Cheese on it and she loved cheese. She has 1 and 1/2 pieces! She even ate a bit of the taco pizza as it had chips on it. Max got crust to eat and he was in heaven! He’s a bread boy!

Happy 3 year anniversary!

On Wednesday the 14th Josh and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary. Josh spent the day mostly in the fields attempting to get the oats planted. Bella and I went up to the Lancaster house to drop off more stuff for the rummage sale. Then we decided to take a stroller ride to Story time. We ended up meeting up with Christi and her kids on the walk. Then ran into more friends along the way too!

After storytime we headed back to the Lancaster house and then back home. Bella went down for a nap. Once she woke up we had lunch and then outside to see what Daddy and Grandpa were up too. By the time we found them it was almost time to go start chores, but Bella got a tractor ride and I drove the truck and gravity box with seed back to the barn.

It was so warm out that while I filled Bottles, Bella got to play with water. I filled up a 5 gallon bucket of water and gave her a bottle to “fill” and she had a blast!

Oh I almost forgot while Bella was napping i got a small bouquet of flowers delivered to me.  Josh also handed picked some of our tulips for me since that’s our wedding flower.

To do something special for our anniversary, we went out ot Happy Joe’s for sampler night. They had Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza, my favorite, along with cheese, pepperoni and sausage, Canadian bacon and mushrooms (feed those to Bella) and Nacho Joe. Pretty much i ate them all. It was so yummy. We figured out Josh ate a whole pizza’s worth with all the slices they had.  Bella ate pretty well too and enjoy the big screen tv, even if it was only showing ESPN.

IT was nice end to the night!

So sweetly napping

 

  Chalk fun!

We are teaching Bella the sign for please since I realized we should be working on please and thank you. So after this weekend of re-learning what it was myself, I started today with Bella. She would copy me, but not really do it on her own. I should also mention that she already knows ‘More” and “all done” in sign language. Tonight at supper, Bella had already started to eat, as she was hungry now. Well she didn’t have the same thing that was on josh’s and mine plates. Hers was cooling off. We did the sign of the cross, that she can do the first part and some times the 2nd part. Then we started our two prayers. In the middle of it, Bella signs both “more” and then “please”  I had to give her some even thought we normally don’t while prayer.

She’s just too cute.
