Deer Season!

Well..it's that time of year again. Opening season was this past weekend. We stayed at the lease all weekend and Calvin is still there. He took this week off of work to hunt. Here are some pics of my favorite little country girl!

Trick or Treat!

Although you can't tell in the pics..my little butterfly was a grouch!! And, I was right. We had a tooth explosion this last weekend. She got in a bottom molar and one of her eye teeth, with the other one not far behind it. Hopefully they will come on through and my happy little girl will be back soon.

My baby girl is wiiiiild!!

Oh my goodness, Bella is all over the place these days. She is a climber and she is fast! She loves to scale our big bed and get down by herself or climb up into her highchair when we aren't looking. She likes to hide in closets and shuts the doors. She's also learned how to open the dog kennel and she loves it in there. But her favorite hangout is in the "hammock" under her highchair.

Whew! She is keeping us busy, busy.
She only weighs 20 lbs but the dr. said she is staying on her growth curve just fine. She finally got 2 more teeth, her two top molars. That brings her total to 6. But, she has 3 more big bumps on her gums so I am thinking we are about to have a tooth explosion any day now. She's a pretty good eater. She doesn't like meat all that much, but she will eat it. However, she loves fruits and veggies. She doesn't like milk all that much either, but I get her calcium to her in other ways and we do manage to down some milk each day.
She got her first haircut on Tuesday (by me). I want her bangs to grow up but they were so straggly so I straightened them up a little better.
I love this crazy girl!

TVE Fair

Last weekend we took Bella to the fair..her first one. She thoroughly enjoyed herself and we had fun watching her. We rode a few rides, spent some time in the petting zoo and ate funnel cake.

Visitors!

We had visitors a couple of weeks ago from Colorado...Calvin's brother, Rick and his wife Patti. They stayed for a week and we totally enjoyed it and I am not just saying that because Rick put down new flooring and put up a new ceiling fan for me ;P


Come see us again soon!!

Pink!

Saturday morning (EARLY) myself, my mom, Bella, Tori and my cousin, Melanie headed to Houston to meet up with Donna and participate in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk. It's a 5K, so not too bad, you would think. We got to Houston around 7, got parked and went off to find Donna in the midst of 32,000 other people. We did manage to find her pretty easily, which is a miracle.

The walk was alot of fun, but it was so crowded. You had to walk pretty slowly and just after the mile marker B started wanting out of the stroller and had just had enough (it took over an hour just to walk a mile because of all of the people!). We crossed over and walked the mile back and walked through the finish line. It was an awesome sight to see all of the Survivors and everybody out there supporting the cause. They had a special finish line for the Survivors. They would walk down a path and people were slapping their hands and then they had their own little archway to cross. They got lots of freebees too. I got pics of my mom going through the Survivor Path and I was so proud for her.

THE END!! :)

We're ready!

Sunday we took the trailer out to the lease and got it all set up. Everything seems to work really good and the generator runs everything at once, which we were a little worried about.

We are headed out there Friday night to stay the weekend in it. I am looking forward to it except that I have a crappy head cold and not sure if I am going to feel like doing anything...but, I don't have much of a choice. Saturday is my birthday and it's also the Burnett Reunion. I am pretty sure that my mom has a little something planned for me there or else I would be tempted to skip it all together.

So..here are a couple pics. They were taken with my phone so they are kinda crappy quality.
