Labor Day - Oliver H. Kelley Farm!

So we were looking for something to do today all together....but apparently Minnesota decided to go from hotter than you know where, to BUTT cold!!!  So swimming was out:(

After doing a little research we decided on a 1860 working farm operated by the Minnesota Historical Society.  The funny thing is, our last house was a whooping 8 miles from the farm and we never went!

Before we headed there, I kept asking Belle what animals she thought would be there.  She was determined that the only thing there was a sheep.  Okay.  Sheep it is.  When we pulled in the parking lot and turn off the car, Belle gasped, held her hand up to her ear and said "I hear the sheep!"  At that point I was just really hoping there really was a sheep:)  Luckily...there was!

2 years later....

I havn't posted in 2 years....that sucks.

You will probably see a massive dump of posts an photos so I can try and recapture those memories I havn't written down.  If you don't like it...too bad!  But tell me....who would like this face?

Ho...Ho...Ho.......

We had our ward Christmas party yesterday and a certain Bananabelle's dad played santa...

8 months old..

..so our Bananbelle is 8 months old!

Its funny, at every age so far I think to myself "this is my favorite age" until I get to the next month and I think the same thing of that age. Par for the coarse, I like this age the best!

Her personality is coming out. The girl smiles constantly and laughs at the dogs. Her new thing is the blow raspberries with her lips. Its particularity funny when she does it when she is nursing. You laugh at her and she laughs back and does it again. She is just all around awesome!

Oh, and adorable!

I told her not to grow up...

...but she's not listening!

Remember this photo of Ty ready Belle a story?
Well, its now become THIS!


We've created a monster:)

Boo!

I have LOTS to catch up on up I want to be sure to get all of the current stuff down so we will start there and work our ways back.

Halloween 2011!

She laughed so hard I cried...

..Ty and I went out in the backyard with Annabelle to talk to the guy fixing our air conditioner and of coarse the dogs followed. The proceeded to play/fight just like they always so when anyone is around to show off too.


I heard Belle start to wine and then cry.....or what I thought was crying! I looked over at the little person on my arm to comfort her and realize that she is full out belly laughing! Not just the little giggles she had been doing lately, but full out busting a gut! She laughed for a good 5 minutes watching those dogs. That was probably one of my top 10 moments ever with our little girl!
