Beebop's Birthday

August 4th, 2009 we all gathered to celebrate the birthday of Bella's "BeeBop" If you are viewing this photo you already know the folks pictured (except the two strangers in the back trying to "Bogart" the photo.  We have no idea who they are!!!!  We had a great dinner at McCormick & Schmidt, YUM.   Thank you Grandma Donnie!!!  A great evening of awesome food, family and friends.  (Wow, Aunt Candy is soooo tall!)

Saturday we all went to the neighbors house to celebrate Spencer's birthday.  We had a wonderful night and Bella loved playing outside and staying up late.  Good times ;-)

La Bella Vita

Bella has finished both of her summer swim classes and has graduated from "pike" to "eel."  She kicks and paddles as fast and hard as humanly possible all the way to the bottom of the pool!!!  She remains undaunted and proudly exclaims she is just like Nemo.

Go, Bella Go!

Hey look, no cavities!!!  Bella went for her check up with Dr. Festa and did great.  She thought it was really neat and wanted to know what everything did.  Dr. Festa's office will recover soon!  :)

Egg dying April 4th, 2009.  Many eggs and one little girl were dyed many colors.  Beebop, Grandma and Aunt Candy joined in the fun!  Thank you for the wonderful photos Aunt Candy!  We all had a super time & Bella may be the fastest egg dyer on the East Coast.

March 29th held the awards ceremony for AWANA.  Bella completed her first year in Cubbies with a bang!  She received awards for completing the Awana book , which means she memorized 23 verses.  She also received attendance and sunday school awards.  The photo below shows her singing the Cubbies song with her class.  

Bella, Mom & Dad
