Our family

Here are some pictures of us before church on Sunday:

Crazy Week

Last week was Crazy Week (Semana Loco) at Bella's school. She had Crazy hair day, Crazy socks and shoes day, Backwards shirt day, and Crazy hat day. Here she is with her crazy hat!
It was a crazy week for us too. Our home improvements were finally finished. That means functional bathrooms this week...Yeah!!

American Girl

Today we went to our friend Pierce's birthday party at the American Girl Boutique and Bistro. Bella was SO excited to go. She's been asking to go since it opened in the fall. She brought her Bitty Baby, Carley along. (She actually names all of her babies Carley, with an exception of one...Carlos, which is also a girl. OK?!?!?!) She insisted that Carley wear her seat belt and have head phones just like her to watch Enchanted on the way to the party. See Below:

Here are the girls (Riley, Bella, Pierce & Izzy) waiting for the store to open:

The boutique was amazing, a little girl's dream store. Here is Bella, very happy to finally be inside:

Here are all the girls posing with their dolls:

They had a private lunch which included lots of tiny food. It was so cute.


And finally, the girls and their babies singing Happy Birthday to Pierce:

Outside Fun

The weather has been so nice lately, the kids have really enjoyed playing outside. They love to swing on the playset. Bella has been riding her scooter a lot and
Marshall loves to take rides in his push-car.

We are getting closer and closer to selling our house. We will have our "home improvements" done by Monday and hope to list our house by the end of the week. The house we are interested in is still available and we hope it will be for a couple of weeks. Everything is looking good right now.

Marshall's First Birthday Party

Saturday was Marshall's Birthday. We had his first Birthday Party at our house. It was lots of fun. The kids had so much fun playing together and getting their faces painted. Marshall definitely enjoyed his cake! The adults had a lot of fun later in the evening to celebrate Mark's birthday. Sorry, no pictures to document that party...I hope!

Bella's First Soccer Game

Last Saturday was Bella's first soccer game. She was so excited to go to the game, but when the game began she refused to go on the field. I think it might have something to do with me reprimanding her for cutting-up with the boys right before the game began. I think she was embarrassed in front of the boys, so she looked me in the eyes and said "I'm not playing." And she didn't budge until Uncle Todd said he would take her on the field. She agreed, but wouldn't let go of his hand or Mark's hand, very productive soccer-playing! Here she is glaring at me from the sidelines:


Here she is with her cousin Chloe:


Here is Marshall at the soccer game:

Marshall's Birthday Eve

This weekend was Marshall's First Birthday Party. Honey and P-Pa arrived on Friday afternoon, Bella was so excited! Here are Bella and P-Pa napping in the Living Room. Bella loved her "bed-on-the-floor".

Marshall got to open his present from Honey & P-Pa. It was a basketball goal, which he loved! He is a fast learner too, take a look at the video below...
