Since it isn't all technically about Bella anymore (unless you ask her), we're moving the blog to a new location. The new combined blog will be called Personality Surplus (which is pretty much the most accurate way to describe this house now).

More to come soon!

Mason Dance

Mason has some really weird reactions to anything musical, even if its just a noise with a vague melody line. We caught one of the better ones on video a few nights ago.


In other blog news: we'll be closing this one down and opening a "joint" Bella/Mason blog pretty soon. We'll post something here once we've got that done. Rest assured there are plenty of pictures ready to be posted, just not enough sleep for us to concentrate on posting them!

Going Bowling!

We got to go bowling for the first time at a birthday party for one of Papa's friends.

It was a lot of fun!!

Working with Papa

Bella helped Papa in the yard....

and loved the free wheelbarrow rides inbetween.

She also learned how to change the oil in the van.

Singing to Mason

Misc. Updates

Its been a little while, so here's a general update:

The new baby is coming along just fine. We're at 29 weeks today!
That is 11 weeks from the due date, 7 weeks from "full-term" and 3.5 weeks from where we were when Bella was born!

And of course, Bella has to show her tummy to the camera any time Momma does.

And here's a random, very cute, picture of Bella.

And finally, Papa putting together the new baby's crib!

At The Wedding

We went to a friend's wedding last weekend and had a great time!
We made it all the way through the wedding like a big girl, got to eat dinner with friends, and even danced with Papa (which Papa enjoyed more than Bella did).
Thanks to AM for taking the pictures, and congratulations to Jarrod and Shana!

100th Post!

We went to the soon-to-be-underfunded Parents As Teachers Spring Fling last weekend and had a blast!

First, we got to make a paper flower.Then we got to sit in a police cruiser!
And we got to play in dirt AND water.

And finished it up with Gak and Shaving Cream!

Oh, and the other day we decided to clean Papa's new car with our new favorite toy.

Easter at Home

Easter morning was beautiful but we decided to wait until after nap to do our egg hunt.

It rained so we had to do it inside.

Bella helped make cupcakes and of course enjoyed eating them too!

Easter Egg Hunt #2

Another church had a big communty Easter event.

We saw a clown,

got our face painted,

got a temporary tattoo,

waited our turn to make a little garden craft,

played with a fun house mirror,

jumped in a bounce house,

petted goats and llamas,

went for an egg hunt,

and sorted the candy (without being told to...weird kid).

In the end, we were exhausted!

Egg Hunt #1

We went to an egg hunt at a local church.

Apparently a toddler egg hunt means dumping a bunch of eggs on the floor and turning kids loose!

Loving the camera.

An important message from Bella (although a little late).
