Showered with Love

It was a lovely day to celebrate the upcoming arrival of this baby boy... Thank you to all my sweet friends who helped to make the day so special. I truly enjoyed your company! 

Winnie out did herself with the decorations! Beautiful.

Fall = Football

 And we love every minute of it! These are from Jack's first game...

 Can these two sit down and watch the game? NO! They pace the whole time!

 TOUCHDOWN! She is seriously so cute. 

 We try to stay in our chairs...

 #57 going after the QB, Go Jackers!

Ending the day at Ethan's game, that day it was 90 plus degrees. The fall weather this weekend will be nice for all the pregnant fans. 

Every Last Drop

 Celebrating every last drop of Summer! The Hendrickson Family so lovingly invite us to land in their boat for tubing and wake boarding. All the kids love going out on the boat and we are so grateful for good friends that take us out for such fun. The hardest part about the night: Dad was working late... and had the camera. No tubing pics of the Bellie Bells this year. Those are my favorite! Thanks Scott and Jacqueline for the fun and yummy din din! 

Such a beautiful night on the lake! 

And they are off!

September 7th, 2011 First Day of School

And so it is time, back to school 2011! I thought I was so happy about it but the first day I was ready to pick them up by noon! 

 My Middle Schoolers! I can't believe how big they are... Izzy 8th grade and EE 6th grade. CRAZY.

 The ONLY reason I took this shot was because we were dropping off Isabelle first and clearly, none of his friends were around!

 Jack, 4th Grade with Ms. Britt

 Ethan, 6th grade, first year of middle school!

 Isabelle, 8th Grade

and thanks to the meds, and Jesus, she is feeling so much better. I think she will get around school just fine! 

Have a great year kiddos, I will sure miss you! 

Until I get used to the quiet then it is party time for mom... :)

Post Summer Clean-Up

 After spending the summer in the pool and summer sun, first stop: Haircuts! The three amigos, Before...

 After!

 Next Stop, Brenthaven to get the fancy Middle School binder. Ethan is all set! And the red shoes for Jack.

 I am always a little jealous of Isabelle's school supplies, they are so cute now...

Ready or not, here we come!

The Last Splash 2011

These guys have grown up together here at the pool, Ethan, Jack, Ethan and Nolan.

Ethan B and Jack

This is how white people sunbathe.  :)

Clearly never invested in a maternity suit! Good thing summer is over.

The boys gathered up the last of the golf balls from the creek. 

Good bye Sudden Valley pool, goodbye deep end, we will be excited to see you next year...

Back at the baby pool side!
