Hotel.....Show and Tell.....and Farmer B....

This is too cute not to post.....Bella got in the car after school and told me she had to bring a hotel to school on Thursday. I was a bit confused by this, so I took a look at the note in her backpack. She meant Show and Tell!

This summer Bella wanted to plant carrots with her Daddy like Caillou did.  So, Larry bought the seeds and they planted them.  They did not do so hot, but on Sunday we made a big deal out of picking them and feeding them to the deer.  On Mon we saw some deer eating "them" (actually it was the corn Larry put out, but she never needs to know that). She said to me, "mommy I wish I was a deer so I could eat my yummy carrots!" She is so fun right now!!  I am always amused by what she comes up with!

Bella's First Day of PreSchool

It Has Been Awhile....

I am so far behind in posting, I am not even going to try to back date everything I have missed.

So, I am picking up from today.  Today was Bella's first day of "big girl school".  She had been so excited.  If she asked me once a day she asked me 100 times a day if it was time for her to go to school.  Today finally arrived and she was so excited....right up to arriving at school! 

She woke up and got herself dressed. She helped me pack her lunch and we were off!  We arrived at school, I took her picture and she told me she had changed her mind about going to school.  I was nervous too, but I kept smiling and assured her she was going to be fine.  She cried a little, but was fine by the time I left the room.  She was sound asleep when I picked her up.  Once she woke up, I asked how it went......she said it was good but she did not think she needed to go back again:) 

I think I finally have my technology issue with blogger worked out.  Look for more posts more often!

Test Post

I cannot get any of my posts to post....

Lovin' Be 31

Amanda came to Memphis the week of my birthday. We had the best time. She arrived on Sun and the fun began. We both had stuff to do on Mon. We got it all done early so we could do something fun Mon night. Mon night we went out for Sushi and shopping......

Tues she had to work on their house. It was a rainy cold day so I packed Bella up and we headed to Pump It Up. We played there for about 2 hours then we went over to the mall. There Bella and I tried on all kinds of crazy shoes at Macy's. We had so much fun!

The rest of the week was a lot like Mon and Tues. I loved having Amanda at the house. I cannot wait to see her again!

Sat night we had a few people over for my birthday. Don and E Ling having a good time. I am currently 2 for 2 on making dinner for people. On New Year's Eve I over cooked the meat....this party I tried to make pulled pork. I normally buy my pork from a place here called Corky's. I was in a hurry that week so I just picked up the pork at Costco. I cooked the pork forever and it never pulled.....I was so upset! I am really a very good cook, but my last two dinner parties would never reveal that fact:(

Sharon, Me, and Ashley. The 6th grade St. Ann moms.....

Will you look at that shot? Finally, E ling and I got a good shot of us!

Fun girls!

Snow Day.....

We had a snow day last week. Laura and Sabrina came over to play with us.

All the grandchildren.

Santa flew over Randy and Stella's and dropped off the kids gifts. He also dropped some candy and bells. I love this tradition.

Bella was so excited!

She loves her new food set.

Randy and Stella's kids and spouses.

Rossetto's Christmas Eve tradition is to eat chicken and polenta at Grandma Rossetto's house. Bella is enjoying it for the first time.

Santa came to Grandma Rossetto's!

Even the boys were excited he had come!

Ripping into the goods.

Preforming for us with her new microphone and her boa.

A very sad Bella in time out for being a poop at Hyde's Christmas. Even pouting she is a pretty baby girl.

The boys and Uncle Harry.

They are such good looking boys!

BITTY BABY!!!! Carla bought Bella her Bitty Baby. It was all she wanted for Christmas. Can you tell she loves her?

A nightlight even makes this kid happy!

There are still more presents?

She took forever opening gifts. Bless her heart. She would open one gift and want to play with it then open another 10-15 minutes later.

Santa finally came to Grandma and Grandpa Rossetto's!

More presents!

Wow~

She was so much fun this year. I try to hold on to these memories because time is flying. She is going to be our last one to get excited about Christmas so we are enjoying it all while we can today.

Hey Mom, where are my gifts?

Maddy looking for her gifts.

Our traditional breakfast delivery from Mary and Jeff.

Our little Mermaid.

Then came the big surprise! Uncle Mike and Aunt Michelle out did themselves and bought Bella a "truck"! She loves it!!!!

Ooops, she drove it into the couch! It is very cold here so I am letting Bella drive the truck in the house. As you can imagine she loves it, but my walls are suffering. And, poor Suzie is over the truck, I am sure of it!

The best part of Christmas 2010 was it was a white one!!!
