6 Weeks Already??

I should have taken a picture today to celebrate Bella's 6 week birthday, but I didn't. I am a bad mommy.

I had my 6w check up today and all was good. My mom went with me and we did lots of shopping for Bella Boo. She got several cute new outfits and lots of new bows. We also shopped for a friend's (Jana) baby shower gift. It will be Bella's first party to attend. Jana was actually Joanna's best friend in school. She has a twin named Dana. After we all got out of school we all worked at Wally World together and we all ended up being good friends. Jana used to call my mom Berta (her name is Becky), but we can't remember how it started. However, EVERYBODY calls my mom Berta now. Weird.

So yeah, not much to report....

Bella Knows Sign Language!!



Ha! My sweet, innocent baby girl LOVES to give the bird! She is ALWAYS doing this.
Think she is trying to tell me something?

Love,
Your Mommy and Daddy

Frio River '09

So, Bella had her first official vacation and she did great! After leaving Austin we headed West to meet up with lots of friends and family at the Frio River. Every year the Burnett family along with friends rents out all of the cabins at a campground for 10 days. There is always some planned activity going on whether it be golf, horseshoes, washers, a poker game, tubing or swimming to name a few. Also, each cabin is assigned their night to cook. I think the night that it was our cabin's night to cook we had close to 60 people to cook for. There was no shortage of babysitters for Bella if Calvin and I wanted to go do something. One day we did take her down to the river and put her in a boat and let her float around in the shade. She slept the entire time. Our campground has a great place that you can go swim without having to worry about floating. They even have some big rocks that the kids can jump off of. The river was low this year, but we did have some tubers come through anyway.
Of course, most of the pictures that I took are of Bella!

Every year, my sister-in-law Karla will make a "foot rock" for each child's first Frio trip. This is Bella (being held by her Uncle Kyle, getting her footprint done.


And this is her rock being glittered.


Bella and her cousin Marcus taking a nap.


Bella and her Daddy outside of Josh's, a cute gift shop in Concan.


My niece Tori and Calvin playing in the washer tournament our last night there.


Bella in her swimsuit. She hated her sunglasses (as you can see), but how cute is she??


My niece Tori.


Bella napping.


My nephew Hunter. His stepmom bought him this hat at a garage sale for .25 as a joke. It turned into his Frio hat and he wears it every year. What a dork!



Happy Father's Day!

We spent Father's Day weekend in Austin with my dad (unfortunately I forgot my camera!). We had a great time and ate way too much, as usual. My dad and Debbie bought Bella a ton of new clothes and my dad also gave Bella her first gun...seriously. Some type of .22 Calvin seemed super excited about it :)

Happy Father's Day to the best new Daddy I know. We love you bunches!!

3 Weeks Old!

Time flies! I wish she could stay a tiny baby forever!


Everything is good. Bella had her 2w appointment last week and weighed 7lb7oz and was 20in long. She is a little piggy. She also had to move up a size in her diapers. So sad!!

This weekend is Father's Day. On Saturday we are headed to Austin to stay with my Dad for the weekend. On Monday we are meeting up with the rest of the family in San Antonio and headed to the Frio for a week. I am looking forward to getting away and relaxing with my hubby and Bella. Wish us luck...
