So.....

Teething SUCKS!!!!

What do you people do when your baby wakes up in the middle of the night or super early in the morning and just wants to cry? Poor baby is just miserable with this teething thing. She doesn't want her bottle she doesn't want to nurse she just wants to cry. She won't eat but yet she's pumped full of medicine so her little tummy just gurgles. This has been going on for the last 3 or 4 days/nights. So needless to say we are all miserable! But the good news is... this morning I can feel 1 little tooth. It finally popped through! But I'm pretty sure there is more cause she's not feeling or doing any better. When will they stop bothering her so much? I've tried everything I can think of, teething tablets, Orajel, Motrin, Tylenol, cold wash cloth. You name it we've tried it. They all work for a while but not long enough! Poor baby! Poor me! I just want me happy sweet baby to return for longer than 3 hours a day!!

Orange Dream and Rockin Robin.....

This Ice Cream Truck comes around our little neighborhood almost everyday in the summer. Jarom and Erica were visiting so we had to get some. Jarom actually had to chase him down. It was pretty awesome! It was fun, it reminded me of being a kid again.
Bella with Aunt Erica....hum, what should we have??Orange dream bar it is!
She loved it! As you can see it's all over her face. This is the look of I want more!
The next day we met Bella's Great Grandma Blackburn at Red Robin for lunch. I love Red Robin. They have the best fries and frie-sauce! Thanks Grandma!
Just a cute pic of us after our lunch.

Perfect.....

I love my perfect baby Bella more than words can even describe. She is my most precious angel. Her beautiful face lights up any room. She is such a happy, loving and smart baby. She smiles and wants to play with everyone that passes by her. She is truly a show stopper! She's so curious about life, she wants to touch and be involved in everything. I love that! I love her sweet little voice and they way her mouth moves in all directions as she's making her precious sounds. Even her saddest maddest cry is sweet and soft. She's amazing. I just sit back and watch her in amazement every day. She grows so fast and she learns something new everyday. It's truly amazing and the greatest blessing. I am so grateful that I get to be her Mom. Seriously, I love this baby! She's perfect!!

"Bad Request"???

I've been trying to post some pics for the past few days but I can't. Every time I try it says "bad request". What the crap is happening? I'm getting really irritated! Is anyone else having or ever had this problem? And what have you do about it? Please help!

Thank you!

Pizza Picnic...

Sunday after church we had picnic on the living room floor. We watched The Bourne Ultimatum and ate BBQ chicken pizza, which I made, so good. It was a very fun Sunday activity!! And Bella sure enjoyed the crust!

How do ya not love that face?!?
This is how we blocked Mercedes from bothering us while we enjoyed our picnic and also how we keep Bella from escaping. Pretty genius!

Mercedes is 2!!

I need to give a shout out to Mercedes. It's her second birthday today. Now, we aren't crazy dog freaks so no party for her! We really couldn't ask for a better family dog. She is so good with baby Bella, and Bella loves her. She really is a good dog, although I'm sure most of you have seen me yell at her a time or two. She just bugs the crap out of me sometimes. I feel like she's always in my way, I swear! Oh Well she's mine....and she's not going anywhere.

Happy Birthday Girl!!

I just finished and I loved it! I would have finished on Saturday if I didn't have a baby a husband and a home to take care of. I love Stephenie Meyer! She is an incredible writer. Anyone out there that hasn't read the Twilight series....what are you thinking? Get with it!! I highly recommend them. So good, this book is exactly what I was hoping it would be!! All you fellow fans, let me know what you thought.

Look at her go....

We have a crawler....

Bella is officially crawling at only 7 months! She has been doing the army crawl for the last month and as of yesterday she no more drops to her belly. It's all arms and legs for this girl. She is growing so fast, it's truly amazing the new things she does everyday. She pulls herself up to the couch now and also pulls herself up in her crib. Not a big fan of that one. But, she is just so precious, I can't hardly stand it. I love her!!!

This is why I love going home in the summer....

We went to Idaho last Thursday, Eric came home on Sunday but Bella and I just got home Wednesday night. I love going home in the summer. I wish I could live in Idaho in the summer time. My parents have such a big beautiful yard that we all love to be there. We have bbq's and dutch oven cook outs in the way back, I love it back there it's like a forest and the closest I like to get to camping!Amazing....right?


This is our camp ground. We love it back here. My Dad is the best dutch oven cook ever! Whenever I'm there in the summer I always request his dutch oven chicken and potatoes. So Yummy!!! He gets real into it.... I love it!
While we were there we had our family pics done. Rachel did them using her tripod. They turned out really good. What a good looking bunch of people!
