Chef Bella

This is a picture that leah took the other day at Lela's party. Bella has been cracking me up lately with her names for things. Tonight she was helping Ben cook dinner and only called him Chef Dad and insisted that he call her Chef Bella until the cooking was done!

Her baby doll! She pulled this off the shelf while at a store and wouldn't let it go. She knew it was hers the second she saw it! so I just had to get it for her!

She really turns one on Tuesday the 25th but we decided to celebrate it today and have a little Party. she was having a ball until it was time for us to sing happy birthday and blow out her candle. She then warmed back up when it was time to open her presents.
Leah was kind enough to get some pictures while I did some video taping.

Almost one

Yesterday we went over to Leah's to take a few pictures. She got this one of Olea that I love!

Leetle luvems

I am so in love with my babies lately...not that I always am, but I go in and out of a little extra craving for them if any one gets what I am saying? Olea is so snugly, she gives hugs all day long and squeezes her tiny arms around my neck. I love this girl! I even love getting up with her in the middle of the night to hold her little squishy body!! and Bella...she is so fun to listen to! I wish I could see life through her eyes sometimes. She has such an imagination. I love to watch her think! I found these pictures I took a little while back and can already see a growth in them within a few months.

Aunt Leah's wedding

This last weekend we went to New Mexico for Aunt Leah and Kurt's wedding. It was so beautiful! and the girls had a blast! here are just a few pictures taken with Leah's camera, that I did not know how to operate, dang it! they could have turned out so great!

My latest creation

I was going through my fabric the other day and came across all these scraps I had bought last summer, so I thought I would make a new skirt for the girls. This one is Bella's. I thought she would love it and want to wear it but I had to beg her just to try it on!

Afternoon stroll

Yesterday, my good friend Leah, encouraged me to go on a little walk while it was nice out, and knowing that I still dont have a camera, she snaped these pictures of the kids being kids! I love the light in these photos! Thanks leah!!!
