Bubbles, Bubbles, and MORE Bubbles!

We bought Bella a bubble machine for Easter and she loves it! We have already gone through 3 bottles of bubbles in 2 days, maybe I should get some stock in a bubbles company?!?!? (It probably doesn't help that the machine blows over 1,000 bubbles per minute!)

Ms T is ready for summer

Bella LOVES bling...plastic bling (thanks, Aunt Esther!). She is constantly wearing 3-4 necklaces, 2 bracelets, and a headband at any given time. Here's the latest fashions of Ms T:

"I pity da fool"

I love this new summer outfit and Bella was quite excited to show it off for the camera. The headband was just an added bonus.

Cousin Love

Bella saw several of her cousins this weekend while celebrating Jake's birthday & graduation, and she had such a great time playing with them! Bella hadn't seen Elisabeth since Christmas time and had LOTS of hugging to give her. I think it *might* have been too much love.

Bella & Elisabeth swinging (I love the excitement on Bella's face)

How many girls can fit through the door at one time???

Kitchen Cabinets are finished!

Brian finally got our kitchen knobs and handles on the cabinets!!! YAY!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Saturday the forecast was heavy rain & thunderstorms, but where did the WIND come from??? It seemed like a mini-tornado blew through our area because we have a ton of wind damage. We got over 10 inches of rain in one hour, and the winds were 60-70 mph!


This is our side street that is flooded up to the live oak.



This is the view of the flooded cul-de-sac from upstairs.


Backyard was a mess! Pots, plants, furniture...and where's Bella's swingset???


Our neighbor's Little Tykes playhouse flew THROUGH the wooden fence. It's hard to see the big hole at the left and then also in the corner. We had shredded playhouse parts all over the yard!
