Bella's Blessing!

Congrats to Austin and Krista Westenhofer! What a cute couple!

Takin' a break from the heat...Bella had quite a reaction when I blew in her face!

The Henrie family at Bella's blessing. Thanks to all who could come! We appreciate it!

Four generations!

Bella doesn't think a thing of all this excitement!

What a fun weekend! My mom and grandma came out on Thursday and we have been going 90 miles a minute! Friday we spent all day in Ogden with friends for a wedding... Saturday we shopped til we dropped then drove to Neola... and Sunday we had Bella's blessing, drove home, and spent time with some Alabama friends! We are tired of being crammed in our tiny Jetta, that's for sure!

Bella's blessing was beautiful! Ty did a wonderful job. We were so grateful that most of his family could be there. Most of them had a 4 hour drive with 5 kids in the car. Yikes! It was great to feel that support from them! Bella showed her excitement by exploding her diaper in her beautiful blessing dress. Nice one Bells!

Bella and I leave to Florida again today and we're excited! Grandpa Rowdy and the girls are especially excited!! We will be gone for 10 days and are sad to leave Ty at home all by his lonesome. We will miss him.

Beautiful temple!

Evidence we were there.

We have been busy busy the past month! Well, it seems like it...but maybe we're not really that busy. Ty is working on his independent video game called "Cloudee". It's a really clever idea and when he's finished it, I get to be the first to test it out! We love to brainstorm how it will work - maybe the cloud can shade the little people, or maybe it can just rain on everyone. Kinda fun.

I'm loving every minute of being a mom!! This weekend we enjoyed the Henrie family reunion in a huge 8 bedroom house we rented...hot tubbin, hot air balloon watchin (ok, we didn't get up early enough to actually SEE them, but I saw them in my sister-in-law's picture! That counts, right? haha), lots of eating, chatting, walking, games, and relaxing. It was so beautiful where we stayed and it was actually kinda chilly at the lake! We had fun though!!

Bella is making all kindsa noises, smiling and just started laughing. She doesn't do it very often, but when it happens, it's the most adorable thing I've ever heard!!!! We go for walks daily, and she loves that! She looks all around and stares at you just smiling and happy. She gets mad when I stop and talk to all the neighbors though. Poor thing.

Anyway...that's all I know. We're all fat and happy. Can't complain!

Beach Life

We just spent a week at my Grandpa and Grandma's beach house in Florida and had a blast!! So much to tell!! Here are some highlights:

- Bella finally met the rest of the Gaines family!
- We spotted a manatee and actually swam right next to it and pet it in the ocean! Amazing!
- We ate yummy blackened grouper and played Taboo.
- Aunt Tracy told hilarious stories about us all...we laughed a lot!
- We chased crabs with flash lights at night and got eaten alive by bugs.
- We laughed at Grandpa Buddy who couldn't do the tongue twister "One Smart Feller, He felt Smart". Try it!
- We saw a dead baby turtle and many turtle nests.
- We took many hammock naps. Those were Bella's favorite!
- We fished off the dock and caught a couple of fish.
- Ty skim boarded successfully.
- Bella spent most of her time with her Auntie's, Gramma's and Grandpa's in the air conditioned house. She appreciated that.
- We pranked my sister Madison who believed a stranger made eerie noises on her window!
- We kayaked and I saw a shark!
- I faced off with a black snake by the outdoor shower. The snake won. I showered inside.
- We floated and swam in the ocean for hours.
- We took many pictures and made many exciting memories!

2 More Days 'Til Florida!

Bella and I are very excited to be in Florida on Friday to see my family!! ... Especially Bella! :0)

2 Month Stats

Oh to the doctor's we go!!

Length - 23.75in - 90th percentile

Weight - 13lbs 2oz - 95th percentile

She was such a trooper, but I was that nervous, annoying first time mom....taking pictures like the paparazzi and asking 100 times how I could help.

After her shots she was pretty fussy, but all day today she's been great!!

Feelin' good and havin' a ball!
