Long Over Due

Warning....I wanted to update, but I did not have a lot of time. I started and had technical difficulties so I did not spell check....grammar check ect. Read at your own risk!




Four generations!

Nik's Pine Car Derby was in January. Larry's CPTN helped Nik cut his car for the race and since has been asking for a picture of Nik with the car. I finally got around to it this week and when I did Bella was so sure I wanted her picture she kept crawling up on the harth with Nik.

Bella sure she was supposed to be in the photo too!

My Grandma Rossetto came home last week with me. She and I are having a great time running errands and hanging out with Bella. Grandma picked up a book of animals at random this week and started making animal sounds with Bella. Bella will now say "meow" for a cat, "roar" for the tiger, "wuff wuff" for the dog, and hold her nose when Grandma points to the skunk. If Grandma so much as sits for a second Bella has the book out and wanting Grandma to play with her. Also, any where we go if I let Bella walk she has to hold mine and Grandma's hand. It is so sweet!

All worn out from shopping and Kindermusic

Yes, she is eating Cheetos. We went out to eat and I was desperate to
quiet her.

I ordered her a grilled cheese and it came out on a loaf of bread....

Recap of Spring Break. Last week the kids and I spent Wednesday-Sunday at my parents house. Saturday night I helped host a 30th surprise party for my friend Chandra. It went off without a hitch! Everyone had a blast and Chandra was actually surprised!

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I spent the day shopping and dinning at places in Gillespie, Carlinville and Litchfield I went to when I was a kid. It was so much fun sharing it with Zak, Nik, and Bella. Enjoy my trip down memory lane......

Grandpa Mike and Bella watching some basketball. By the way she was calling him "pa" by the time we left Il. His heart was busting with joy!

Zak and Bella in front of a mirror at My Sisters Closet. My sister and I would drive my Mom crazy over who got to sit on the ledge of it.

I had to buy Bella something at My Sisters Closet

The week before we went to Il Bella got chicken pox. Needless to say I was pretty busy that week. Thus, the long delay in updating the blogg. I will do better or at least try.
