Backyard Fun

So we managed to have one sunny day so far and we soaked up on the back deck in the baby pool. Finn loved getting in and out, in and out. Bella had fun watering him with her watering can like he was a flower. We had lots of fun. That night we had smores by the fire. I sure hope the sun finds it's way back for summer so we can go in the big pool!

Out with the Old.....In with the new.........

A new door! The joys of owning a home, this is one of them. When you do a home improvement and you love it. I love the way the new door give light to our entry way and catches your eye as you walk by our house. The reality is, this door would still be sitting in the garage if it wasn't for Mom & Papa Bill! So bit thanks to them. Here are pictures of the old and now the new!

A Weekend at the Cabin

We got to spend some time with family at the cabin over Memorial Day weekend. It was Kelly, Bella, and Finn's first time to the cabin. It is very peaceful and Bella really enjoyed every detail from the tree swing, smores by the fire, butterflies all around and even pumping water from an old fashioned well. The cabin has been in Bill's family since he was young, so it's neat to now pass that fun on to another 2 generations. The kids stayed for the following week and half for quality time with Grandma, Papa Bill (as he is now called by Bella) and Aunt April. Here are some pictures from the trip.

Annual Land of Make Believe Trip

Phew! What a day! We made our annual trip to Land of Make Believe. Bella couldn't wait to get on the roller coaster but then cried to get off after the first loop around! It was Finn's first time on amusement rides and he loved it! We went from ride to ride with friends and finish off the day with a ice cream cones. The weather was beautiful and it was a great day had by all!

Happy Birthday!

Another year has come and gone. Time is flying these days! Kelly got to spend the day at the spa, enjoying the pool/hot tub, got a hair cut, and a pedicure to celebrate the day. Upon coming back home was surprised by a beautiful cake made by Bella and Dru. We went out to dinner and then came home and sung happy birthday and had cake!

Happy Mother's Day!

Another beautiful Mother's Day. We took our annual trip to the winery and had a picnic on the lawn. Dru tried to tire out Bella by running in circles and playing ball. But there is not energy like Bella's. We had a nice variety of cheeses, crackers, dips, and fruit to go along with our bottle of Hard Cider. We then headed to Kelly's parents house for dinner with her mom and family. Here are a couple pics from the day.

1st Trip to the Dentist!

Today was Bella's first trip to the dentist! She did such a great job! The Hygeniest and Dentist were very good with her and made her feel at ease. She opened up wide and let them look and clean. She got to choose the flavor tooth paste and then after her cleaning she got a new toothbrush and a treat out of the treasure chest!
