Tuesday night Brooke had us over her house for a little birthday party for Mia who had turned 6. It was a Hello Kitty theme which is Mia's favorite. A great time was had by all!

Fire House

We took Bella to the fire station earlier this week. She had been once before but she was just an infant, so  this was her first REAL visit. Joe is currently in a double wide trailer as they are building a new station and she loved running all through the trailer and in all the rooms. We ate lunch with the boys too. After lunch we went out to see the trucks. She liked sitting on daddy's lap and blowing the horn. 

Table Time

I decided to see how Bella would do eating lunch at her table the other day. She ate chicken nuggets like a big girl and loved it. She is growing way to fast!

Potty

Bella went pee pee on the potty today for the first time. she was so excited!!

 

Fridays

Last weekend Bells and I went down south for a visit and we surprised Grandma Bella for lunch at Fridays. She was totally surprised and even cried. Auntie Donna, Annemarie, Joseph, Natalie and Abby were there too. Abby is getting so big and Bella enjoyed seeing her. They hugged goodbye before we left and it was cute but we didn't get any pictures of that.

 we saw a dog at a store later and of course Bella had to say hello. She loved him and he was just her size

New Table

Bella got a new table and she got to test it out tonight after daddy put it together for her. 

I think she likes it

Happy 4th of July

Last night we drove out to Disney to the Polynesian Resort to watch the fireworks. Unfortunately we left a little to late and we were in the car (on Disney property though) when the fireworks went off. We rolled down  the windows though and Bella pointed out the window. We went with cousin Mike and his girlfriend, Brooke and her daughter Mia. Mia and Bella play so well together so we decided to go walk around the resort and we got some of  the world famous Dole-whip ice cream. I had never heard of this stuff before but someone told Brooke about it and we Googled  it. It appears there are only 4 places in the US to get this stuff. There was a long line when we got there and the man in front of us says that he lives in Orlando but comes and stays at the resort once a year just to get Dole-whip. The best way to explain it was soft serve pineapple ice cream.
