An Exciting Weekend

After talking to a friend of mine we decided last Wednesday to go to Arizona on Friday to watch the Angels game on Saturday. We all had lots of fun. We met up with my friend Kelly and her family and friends at the game. Annabelle had a blast being outside all day. We all got a little sun burnt, John got hit by a ball in the knee while I was in the bathroom, and later he caught a ball. All in all it was a very exciting weekend, Annabelle even did pretty good with the four hour car ride there and back. And we had even more excitement the end of our weekend, we found out ANNABELLE IS GOING TO BE A BIG SISTER!

That's right! We're having a baby! I am due November 29. So we will have something to be extra thankful for this Thanksgiving. So now to the pictures. This is our family picture in front of the Angels sign.
Heading into the park, she is tired going in but got a boost of energy once she saw what her day looked like.

We were sitting on a hill so we had to keep a close eye on Belle to make sure she didn't roll down the hill and also to watch for flying balls.

She loved climbing the stairs, which was okay until the game started and there were just way to many people.

John's injured knee. If you look close you can see the stitching from the ball. Not that I am glad he got hit, but I am so grateful it didn't hit Belle, that could have been a nightmare in so many ways. Daddy did a good job at protecting her.

I don't think we were in the car for much more than 5 minutes and she crashed. It was so cute, she was talking up a storm and all of a sudden she stopped and was out like a light. This helped with the drive home.
So John is already talking about going next year, thatwill be interesting with a new baby only a few months old. We may have to recruit some grandparents.

Catch Up Time

Since I went so long in between posts last time I have a lot of pictures, so I am just going to post some of the cutest ones.

So I got a pair of Ugg boots for Christmas, but they were back ordered so I didn't get them till the end of January. When I opened them Belle thought they should be for her. She kept trying to put them on, so I let her try. She liked it until she tried to walk and couldn't.

Daddy left his new work gloves out and once again she thought they were for her, she put the glove on all by herself, she thought she was so big!
Annabelle loves to dance! I just happened to have the camera out when one of her favorite commercials came on and she started dancing.
This was one of Belle's birthday presents, she loves it. She doesn't usually use it the way she is suppose to, oh well, what can I say, I have a creative daughter!

Annabelle is a very very busy girl. If she is awake, she is moving and and quite noisy, when she is still and quiet she is probably doing something naughty, and this was one of those times. We use to let her play in the pantry because we didn't think she could pull the drawer out or any of the heavy stuff on the bottom. Well she did, she pulled out the shelf and climbed in and was trying to throw everything out.This was another time she got into the pantry, I had left it open while making breakfast, and to her that was permission to play in there.
So she stacked the beans! Quite well too. She stacked three cans all by herself. I think someone might be ready for some blocks.

Happy 1st Birthday!

I know it's been a while since my last post. I have been so busy, mostly chasing Annabelle around, she is a very busy little girl.

Here are some pictures from her birthday party. She had lots of fun!
She loves her purse (thanks Grammie!). A girl can never have to many shoes or purses! She already has 4 of here own purses and has claimed 2 of mine.
Annabelle is such a goofball! She is always trying to make people laugh! She had the whole room laughing when she decided to try on some of her new clothes.
She thinks she is so funny, I think she might be her biggest fan.
Annabelle's birthday cakes made special for her by Mommy to match the invitations she picked.

She loves being the center of attention, so I thought she would love this part! Apparently not, she freaked out when everyone started singing to her! We had to cut the song short.


She quickly forgot the whole ordeal after she was aloud to dig into her cake all by herself.

This picture got a little out of sequence, this was after everyone stopped singing. Look at that sad face!
Annabelle had a great first birthday! Thanks to everyone who shared in this special day!
