Pictures from Bella's birthday party.

Sweet little Aubrey helping Bella to get her presents open. Bella loved the presents ,but didn't think much of opening them. Bella had a wonderful party. Bella has a big family to love her so much.
The butterfly birthday cake. It reminds us of Bella , she was let free when mama and daddy came and got her from her first home.

Bella going for a walk with Jenna.She looks so cute in her party dress. But then she is so cute in anything she wears.
Bella eating her cupcake. She loves the frosting, not so much the cake.



Bella waiting to eat her cupcake. Bella did great for her party.
This is Bella's second birthday party in the USA. I don't think anybody ever had a party for her before.She sure loves the attention. She is all smiles when we sing Happy Birthday to her. She just lights up. Oh and light up, i lit her birthday candle for her to blow out and she cried. So mom blew out the candle. Maybe next year she can make a wish and blow out the candles.She is only two here in America.
Happy Birthday sweet Bella ~We sure do love you so much~
Thank you to all who came to Bella's party,it was alot of fun..

Awesome cake kiddos !!

Andrew's new hair cut, not sure yet if this new dew fits him..

Yesterday was Andrew's 8th Birthday. We also had his party on his special day. Andrew had an awesome day and he got many nice gifts. But most of all he had fun playing with all the kiddos.

Thank you to everybody that came to Andrew's birthday party. Andrew and McKenzie decorated his cake. Andrew wanted to use the hockey candles ,so that is what they put on his cake . They both did a very good job on the cake..

Our New Second Home











We decided to purchase a new travel trailer, our old one just never had enough room after the addition of our last two kiddos. We are all getting very anxious to put this to use, but as we sit here making plans to go camping the snow is still falling outside. I think it is a toss up where we will go whether it will be to the zoo in Idaho Falls,ID or Yellowstone Natl. Park, both places are lots of fun for us. It would be nice to get out someplace close to home also, we are very fortunate to live in Montana and have lots of recreational places so close.We will just have to patiently wait for warm temps and sunshine,. but one never knows when this will happen after all we are in Montana and the weather changes quickly.




Kiddos enjoying being outside..

Our son Jake teaching his son Adien how to ride a bike


Deztany doing her back bends "OUCH"

Megan riding her bike from last summer, think she's grown some?



"Yes, Bella can feed herself when she chooses to, which is a hit and a miss





Our grandson Adien is sure a handsome little guy

All the kiddos were able to get outside for some playtime this past week, it has been a long winter and we are all getting spring fever. It is nice for them to get out and burn off all the saved up energy they have.Mom found this picture of Bella feeding herself and was showing it to her, and I don't think she even looked at it, as of today Bella was back to having us feed her at every meal.I don't know why she is doing this, but her hands work just fine when they are into things they are not supposed to be into, she just quit using them to feed herself. She is quite the teaser and enjoys pestering everyone, but thats our Bella and we love her dearly.
