Its Summer

This summer it is back to the volleyball courts for us. Here is Isabella's set up in the sand while we watch dad practice and play.

Big Girl Bed

Isabella has been her Big Girl Bed for a couple of months now and I have to say I miss the crib, IMMENSELY!! The freedom for her to get out of bed finds her in our bed most of the time. Each night Steve and I take turns returning her to her bed only to have her back in ours in only a matter of time. She was so excited but the excitement lost its luster when the night time came. So it is the battle of the beds for a while.

Daddy Daughter Times

Steve and Bella Bean have a great relationship and love to be together, just like I do with my dad. I can't wait to see it continue to grow. Lately they have there special moment each evening when dad comes home from work, they go swimming. They dance together in the pool and pretend to be the king and queen. I have loved watching them together. Another thing she does with her dad is call him by his full name. She loves to say "Steven Lee Hinds." Initially it drove Steve/Dad crazy to have her call him that instead of "Dad" but now he thinks it is cute and goes with it. I love this little pair and it will be fun to include our little man Heath.

COMING IN JUNE

IT'S A BOY UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2009

Halloween Party

Each year Steve and I have a Halloween party with lots of games and food. Here are a few pictures of some of the games we played this year.

Fall Festival Night

She loves the pony rides.
Round 1 with mom
Round 2 with dad

She did awesome at air baseball. This was a super cool game.

PUMPKIN PATCH 2009

The pumpkin patch did not disappoint again this year. We have so many options around us but we had such a great time last year that we went to the same one. The kids had a great time and we came away with some good pumpkins. I love this time of year with the crisp cool air, yet the sun's beautiful shine that warms you right up.

Baby girl is TWO

"Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
I read this statement and I couldn't agree more. My little princess is growing up so quickly. We have been having so much fun together maybe even too much because she has a serious case of separation anxiety. We went to visit my family in Utah for a couple of weeks and I couldn't leave her side without a serious meltdown. Just to come and get her out of the car seat she would repeat several times, "Come get me mom, come get me mom," in a partial plea and crying. Not that it made me to sad to have her dote on her mom but I think the cousins were about fed up by the time we left.
She was very excited for her birthday. She would tell everyone, "My birthday is coming up!" On the day of her birthday we sang to her in bed and her first response to us was, "can I open my presents from Grandma and Grandpa." She had a perfect princess, pink, eat as much sugar as I can, sing, dance, presents, birthday day!!! Now we are moving on to the I"m two year!!
