A picnic and a jam session all in one day!

We had a picnic at the park...it was Gabby's 1st one...And now that she can eat food...she had a great time!

Bella declaired she was done eating and wanted to run & play

Here is mommy and Gab's

Mom & the girls!

another of the girls, man am I lucky to have such beautiful girls...Jeremy better invest is a shot gun or a baseball bat!!

Interesting knot in the wood...

After we came home...the girls wanted to play some tunes

My does Bella looks STREET RAT CRAZY here...

then the mood turned to soft music of Twinkle Twinkle little star...

Gabby on the drums

Or rather, eating the drums...

Ah...love to hear the girls making music!!

Lily's 3rd birthday party...

Here are the girls, in their matching dresses, getting ready for Lily's 3rd birthday party...

Bella just loves being around Gabby...all day...every day. They are always on the floor playing...

Bella winding down, before the party even begins

Gab's flashing us those baby blues...

Having fun at the party!

Dad & Gabby

Bella had to change her clothes, so she could play outside, and do crafts

Turns out the crafts were buildling bird feeders by taking peanut butter and coating a pine cone, then rolling that into bird seed and tying a string on it

I don't think Aubrey knew that...

And was really enjoying the peanut butter as well as the seed!

Here is the finished product!

Gab's and mommy

Gab's and daddy

the kids playing and Mrs. Dory in the back pushing all the kids
Miss Lily opening her gifts

And boy was Bella sassy...she didn't want to stop playing to eat cake...!

"NO DAD!!"

But we talked her into it...here is Lily blowing out the candles to her "Madagascar" cake! Apparently she loves that movie!

Gab's and mommy, again! :)

...Thank you Santa Claus...

For Christmas, Santa, is his brilliance, got the girls a "joint" gift...and red wagon...Let me tell you, they love it. Especially Bella. Every night after dinner, she asks "can I go for a wagon ride with baby sister?" Got to keep the sun off those chubby cheeks though!

Bella spies pine cones along the way...

WE love the wagon Santa...thank you!!

Give me the remote and no one gets hurt!

So we had a DVD player with surround sound...around Christmas (of course) it died, or rather the DVD portion died, and we were told that, the surround sound is a package deal with the DVD player, meaning if the DVD player dies, we can't use the surround sound to go with another player...wah wah waaah! *BASTARD!!*

So, as Gabby has been on the move, learning crawl, one day I sat the TV remove down, she army man crawl/inch worm crawled right on over to it...so I took out the batteries to the old dead DVD player, and viola...Gabby was happy! As you can tell...she is grinning from ear to ear!! Those beautiful toothless smiles that I will soon miss...She was so excited about the remote...

Till I tried to take it away, so I could feed her...


But I gave it back...she was really excited!

Gabby, you are your fathers' daughter...already into tech stuff!

Bella's first hair cut!

So, Bella went with me to hang out while I got my hair trimmed....turns out, she really, and I mean really wanted her hair cut too!

So I took her back to see Jen, and Bella was treated to her first hair cut. She held very still...

Let Jen figure out what she was going to do with those beautiful locks of hers...

She was such a good girl...

Even through the misting of her hair...

She was thrilled to get a "Barbie" braid...see, her Vet Barbie, had a twisted braid on the side of her head...I of course can't duplicate that, but I do a really good french braid..in lieu of the "Barbie" braid.

Here is the end result...took a few inches off to even things up.

You can see the fancy "Barbie" braid here...

Bella was "Queen for a day!"

We loved our girls day out that we plan to go again very soon...!!
Bella you are absolutly beautiful!
