Picture overload!

Okay so I have been really bad about updating my blog lately, so you are about to get picture overload!  Here are picures from the Beach, The Poconos, July 4th, my brother-in-law's test pilot school graduation, 5 Year anniversary, Father's day, and other randoms...Bella is growing up so fast!  She will be 17 months old this month and is really starting to talk a lot.  It's so cute!  Some of her words are: More, Please, Bite (says a lot when I am eating because she wants to try my food), Shoes, Juice, No, Bye bye, Hi, Elle (her best friend's name), Mama, Dada, Mimi, Papa, Pop, Nana, Peepee (uncle Petey), Cor Cor (her favorite cousin Cory), Book, Dog...okay that's all I can think of right now...She obviously is really starting to repeat after me, so I have to be careful what I say, haha!  Enjoy all the pictures!

Catching up...

Sorry I have not blogged in a while, we have been quite the busy, traveling family!  We had two weddings this month in SC and have another one tomorrow, but in DC, yay! But anyway, we are doing great, Bella is getting to be such a big girl and so much fun. Bella has been having so much fun with her new BFF Elle.  They are so silly and just have the best time together.  I included a little video to give you a glimpse into their world, haha.  Also a bunch of pictures from the past couple weeks!



Elle's mom, Lindsay, and I decided to take some fun pictures of the girls, and Bella had fun, but we couldn't really get a good smile out of her, haha!

We also decided to do finger painting with the girls...Bella HATED it...she cried the whole time.  I have come to the conclusion that Bella does not like to be dirty...if she gets something on her hand or something falls in her lap while she eats, she wants it gone!  So guess we want be trying finger painting for a while...

This past weekend, we headed down to Charleston for Matt & Charlotte's wedding.  We had a blast and Charlotte was a beautiful bride!  The dance floor was packed the whole night and we even extended the party to Red's at Shem Creek after.   We are so happy for those two, they are such a sweet couple!

Bella's First Haircut

We finally decided that it was time to take Bella to get her 1st hair cut.  I really didn't want to cut it but she was starting to get really annoyed when her hair was in her face.  She would always be trying to push it out of her face or blow it out of her face, it was kind of funny.  But anyway, we decided it was time.  We took her to Cartoon Cuts and she did a really good job!  The only time she got upset was when they started to dry her hair.  She is not a fan of the hair dryer.  Daddy even bought her a new pink bow at the end for her new hair do.  Enjoy the pictures!
