Bella growing up before our eyes!

Bella is growing up so fast! Here are a couple of photos below to catch you up on how much she has grown! We are in the process of updating our blog so stay tune for more updates to come.
Look at our little angel!

Look at that face ~ what is she thinking?

So serious.....

Laughing and smiling

Bella is here!

I know everyone has been waiting for pictures of our little Bella and finally I am getting around to posting them.


Here are just a few of the great candid moments since her birth....

It was a long 3 days, we were so happy when she was finally in our arms.





Daddy just loved to sit and look at her.









Just lounging in mommy's lap!

Grandma Bobbie gave me my first tub bath.

















Daddy's first time giving Bella a bottle... he was a little worried about spilling, hence his "bib".













I am the princess!












Visitng my Auntie Jen and soon to be cousin Mackenzie!















My first time meeting Great Grandma Terri. She had me wear the beautiful christening gown she brought over from England in 1944.
















Bella also got to meet all her other "cousins"during our trip to Seattle.





From left (also oldest to youngest), Corbin, Gage, and Bella.









And here's the rest of the crew, Gavin, Lanea, and Blake.











My first trip to th park with Grandma Darlene. It was so sunny I had to wear mommy's hat.




















Bella's first time grabbing a toy!





Finally, mommy captured a smile! Only took two months.



















Sleepy girl...why is that every time daddy holds her she dozes off?












Mommy and daddy love you!















Thats all for now, but I promise to post more often when I'm back to work, which will be in two weeks.

Growing Belly and Baby's Room

I know it's been a while since we've posted anything and everyone is wondering....how big is she? What does the nursery look like? We'll here's a quick peek at what's been going on in our lives......



7 Months~ Wow, can't believe I finally made it this far....only 3 months to go now!














And here, at 8 months.... 8 weeks and counting! I had just returned from my trip to Dallas and boy was I tired! It took nearly an entire weekend to recover but I feel great now!








I finally, got time to work on Bella's nursery and here's what it looks like so far.....


These are some shadowbox shelves we put together for knick-knacks and other stuff. We also added in some decorative paper and some old shadowboxes from Grandma Trudy's house to keep it interesting.










And finally, the momen't you've all been waiting for.....the mural I have been working on.
















It's only about 1/2 done so far and has turned out to be quite the project. The bright flowers really bring life to the room though.

The phrase over Bella's crib reads "The angels danced when you were born".















The mural carries over into the next wall and behind some fun prints I got at work. Grandma Annie's glider has taken a place in the corner and we're working on recovering the cushions to match.

The guest bed has a cute duvet cover with a white background and colorful flowers to match the theme of the room.







And these are some little frames I put together to hold pictures of the new baby......
