Weekend Festivities

We got to visit lots of family these past two weekends. Two weekends ago we went to Madison after church on Sunday to visit Adam's family; for a late birthday party for Uncle Ben and an early Mother's Day for Grandma Kathy! We didn't stay long, it's alway too short, but we did have a great time seeing everyone again. Bella really enjoyed seeing her cousin Oliver too, she was trying to keep up with all the moving he's doing! Bella got to play with Grandma Kathy a lot too, but we didn't get any pictures of that, so next time we'll have to take lots of pictures with Bella and Grandma Kathy!! :)

Here are some pictures from that visit:

Bella and Grandpa playing with a soccer ball. I'm sure there will be many times that Grandpa teaches Bella how to play soccer, basketball, baseball, and many other things!

Bella and Oliver playing. Bella couldn't quite get the hang of crawling on the slippery wood floors so she just pushed herself backwards the whole time!

Uncle Ben and Aunt Laura are playing with the babies!

Bella kept dropping the rattle so Uncle Ethan would have to pick it up for her!


Just this past weekend on Saturday I took Bella to see Great Grandma Katie. We gave her a fun picture of Bella for her to have and got to visit for a while for Mother's Day. She always loves when we come to visit! Bella has a lot of fun exploring all the new things at her apartment too.

Then that night (Saturday) we had some friends over for dinner. They have a little girl named Elianna, she is 16 months. Bella absolutely loves playing with her. She was a little fussy before Elianna came, but when she got there they both played and talked with each other all night long!

On Sunday after church we went to Grandma Peggy's house to spend the afternoon there for Mother's Day. We had such a nice time getting to visit with my mom and brother (Jon).

Here's some pictures from that day:

Uncle Jon's dog, Digger, just loved Bella and Bella loved him too! He would lay down right next to Bella and cuddle with her. This time he laid his big head right in her lap and almost tipped her right over, she loved it and was giggling the whole time!

Mom was really hungry for KFC for dinner, so that's what we had. Bella got to play with some mashed potatoes. At first she didn't know what to do with them, but once she got used to it, there were potatoes everywhere!

When she was done Uncle Jon was cleaning her off, but then Digger came over and starting licking up the rest of the potatoes on her tray and then cleaned off her hands too. Bella was all smiles!

Playing on the floor with Grandma.

Before we left I wanted to get a picture of just the girls! So here it is; I think we know what Bella will look like when she grows up!
