60!!!!

My mom turned 60 this past Saturday and we celebrated in style last weekend. The family came to Orlando and my mom and I went indoor skydiving. Thats right, I said skydiving. Mom had mentioned last year that she would do it but none of us believed her so I held her to it for her special birthday.

 After skydiving we went to City Walk in Universal. We had plans to go to the dueling piano bar and this awesome karaoke place but they were both closed for a private party. We grabbed drinks instead outside Margaritaville and then dinner at the NASCAR Cafe. 

Tiffany had just taken Bella to the fountain and got her all wet and slicked back her hair

Happy Birthday Mom!

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
