Last weekend we traveled down south and Bells got to go to the splash park and play with her cousins.

Here are a few photos from the weekend

 Helping Nana make "pigs in a blanket". She loved rolling the little hot dogs and was very good at it

 Hanging out with cousin Abby

 Making silly faces with her cousins at Auntie Donna's house

Butterflies

Yesterday we checked out the butterfly encounter at Lukas Nursery. Every time we drive by it and Bella sees the big butterflies she gets so excited and we always tell her that one day we would go. Well the day finally came. 

 checking out the finches

 

 there is a refueling station where you can put nectar on you fingers and they will sit on your finger and drink the nectar. We thought Bella would love this but she was actually afraid of them

 we snuck up on her and put them on her head :)

Lego Party

Nicole hosted a houseparty.com party for Duplo advertising to their new product, Duplo Read and Build. Of course I made some Lego themed decorations and I really enjoyed making them. Who doesn't like Legos! The kids had fun too!

Bella talking to Drew through the window before being let in

 cheers to a good time!

 they play so good together

 they decided to go into baby Barrett's room and Drew lifted up the gate, Bella crawled under and Drew scaled the top. They are partners in crime

 Kiddos having snacks

 decorating a Lego cookie with icing

The girly's!!

We have been hanging out with The Maybin's quite often these last couple months and Bella has really enjoyed playing with "the girly's" as she calls them. 

Here they are at dinner

playing dress up

Ice cream sandwich

Bella ate her first ice cream sandwich at her grandma and grandpa's house last week. Great Gram is the one who gave it to her and she really enjoyed it at first but then she saw how dirty it made her fingers and Bella doesn't like dirty hands. 

 checking out the damage

 eww

 sorry so blurry but she even managed to get it on her nose
