Well I had some grandiose ideas for Bella's first birthday on Saturday, but as I was puking my guts out Saturday morning at around 3:00 am I got an inkling that things might not go according to plan. I think I ended up getting food poising, or something. You would think that I would learn that no matter how hard I try and plan things they never go according to how I think they should. Maybe that is part of life, learning to enjoy the life and the moments that you are given.
So as I was camped out on the couch I had my arms full of these two little ones. Really could life get any better, I think not.
Once everyone was able to get a little more rest we let Bella open her gifts. Over the last few weeks she has started doing this smile every time a camera is in sight.
What a little ham.
Bella supervising the production of her new toy. She wanted to make sure Daddy got it just right.
We found this ride on / walker toy, and thought it would help her to start walking more. After a quick instruction session with her dad, she decided she had it under control.
She seems pretty proud of herself.
Only 14 more years and it won't be a toy car that she will be behind. It really makes me stop and hold her a little tighter and kiss her a little more, when I think about how fast time goes. This year has just flown by, and I can only imagine how it won't be slowing down anytime soon.
I think we have a basketball player in the family. While I was camped out on the couch I turned on a little 'March Madness'. Bella couldn't get enough of it. She loved watching the game.
Happy Birthday my brown eyed girl. I love you forever and always.

I am so sorry Shauna that your tummy made other plans for you. What is that saying, "The best made plans are sometimes...." I forgot the rest, I am a dork. It looks like your day was wonderful at home with the family!
Shauna she is just so darling!!!! those pictures are amazing! i love them. I can't wait to come home! i definitely need to come visit you guys :)
Sorry you were sick. And sorry things didnt go as planned. I had big plans for McCoy's birthday too, and was even planning a whole month in advance. In the end nothing worked out how I wanted. It was Christmas and everyone was busy or snowed in. So it was just my parents and Bryce's parents. I was sad that no cousins were able to make it. Oh well. Bella is too cute, I serisously can't believe she is one, time goes by all too fast for sure!
Dear Bella Hope,
Your name says it all. You have made all our lives more beautiful.
Love ya lots,
Mimi
