The Big 7

My first baby just turned seven on March 27th.. How cute is this picture of her? This is when she had just turned three. Belle has always been such a girly girl. This picture says it all. I get such a kick out of Belle. Last night we put her to bed and let her fill is in on all of her days activities. She told us about everyone in her class at school (she loves telling the buisness). She just talks and talks. We listened and told her thanks for talking to us. When we went to leave the room she just kept going and going. She was talking so fast trying to get all she had to say out. Finally I had to say "I love you, goodnight" and shut the door. Well, she was still talking. I just started to laugh. Some of you may have talked to her when you call the house. I must say, she is pretty funny on the phone. She loves to be social. We love Belle so much. She is a fantastic big sister who loves to take care of her brothers. She is quick to say thank you, and I love you. We are so lucky to have her.

We had a really fun party with some of her friends. Belle wanted to have a fancy party. So we had the girls wear dresses and we went to a beauty school and had their nails painted.

This was so much fun. I loved listening to the conversations with the party girls and the girls doing their nails. They thought they were so fancy!

Cupcakes and games. Can you put an oreo on your forhead and get it into your mouth using only facial movements?? Can you keep a feather in the air for 1 minute without it touching the ground or your body?

We had a little fashion show. Belle is workin the runway here. Silly girls.

Love you Pup, Bellbo Baggins, Bumble Baggins, Bellbo, Bellerella, My best girl in the world.

So I used Picasa for the first time today. I am still learning......I couldn't figure it all out. And the "H" key is hardly working, so I might be missing a few. But I wouldn't know because the spell check has completely disapeared and I can't find it anywhere. Pictures I couldn't figure out, missing H's, and everything spelled wrong.

Circus Sunday

I won't even go into the noise factor from today. However, I will say that we didn't have to take anyone out of the meeting. That's only because we were too far to the front of the chapel, we were too embarrassed to make the long trek dragging the boys down the isle. So we just let them scream.

Anyway, I thougt for today's entertainment I would post the findings in Belle's scripture bag. I sat down next to her and I noticed it was bursting at the seams. This is what I found.

"Now let's see, I might be shaking hands with a lot of people so I will need to take my lotion. Incase I get teary giving my testimony at the pulpit I better bring some tissues, and I will want to look good up there so I will bring my lip gloss. I am out of Tic Tacs so I will bring my toothpaste and I can dab it and freshen my breath. Oh, I better bring my Leapster, I can bust that out if I have any spare time. And look, there is some room for my Book of Mormon. I will squeeze that in there since they asked us to bring them to Primary. Looks like I am good to go, hope I don't forget anything."

Belle is always so good at church that we got a good laught out of this. Then I confiscated all of it of course.

FTMOB

The other day Belle saw a picture of Jesus on the cross. She said to me "Mom, look......it's Jesus on the Lacrosse."

Oh, we love our Belle.

5-4-3-2-1...Blast Off!

My friend Holly convinced me to put a cake up for auction for our ward service auction. I did, and she won! I knew she would. She is the kind of gal that get's all the extra credit points at a service auction. I am the kind of gal that get's all the deductions possible at a service auction. (those of you who have been to one know what I mean) I'm so glad she won! She asked me to do a cake for her 7 year old son Nathan (who we also love). He is really into the solar system. Thus the space shuttle theme cake. He wanted a rainbow chip cake, so I decided to make it tie dye. I baked all day and had everyting ready to go. Then my engineer helped me build the rocket after the kids were in bed. (wings and nose are rice crispies)

They were so excited and grateful. Natan even gave me a cute thank you note, and gift. It made it worth the work. And one day I hope to be able to earn as many points as Holly at a service auction. :)
