My Baby Girl is One Now

I can not believe that my baby girl Lexi turned one year old yesterday. It makes me sad to see how fast it goes by! We had a busy day yesterday so I did not get to post a Happy Birthday message to her until now. There was a Fall Festival in Ormond Beach that we went to and had a blast. My mom joined us and also my cousin and her two kids. They had face painting, pumpkin painting, a bounce house, a big slide, a petting zoo, horse rides, and a firetruck along with a little bitty firetruck that talked! It was so cute and Bella kept hugging it and kissing it and she kept saying she wanted to hold the baby firetruck! Haha.

So after that we went to our Halloween party for the mom's group I am in, Palm Coast Sweet Peas. That was also a load of fun with games, tattoos, another bounce house, more pumkin painting, and of course CUPCAKES! Cause you know Bella was not eating any of the food once she spotted those! I was lucky there was some watermelon or the girl would not have eaten at all! So needless to say, both girls were tuckered out - and so was I - so here's a few pics better late than never! And since we had so much planned for yesterday we are having her birthday next weekend.

Best Friends

So the other night while after I put Lexi to bed, it was just Bella and I. Justin's new job keeps him away until about 730 or so most nights. I was warpping up a package to ship out the next day with scissors in hand when Bella decided she wanted to play ball. Only problem was she was about 2 feet away from me and did not tell me she wanted to play catch! She had a semi hard soccer ball and since she has pretty good aim it was headed right towards my head. Somehow I reacted in time and it just grazed me but I guess I still gasped because she came running over to me and hugged e from behind and told me "It's ok Mommy, don't cry. You're my best friend." I am not sure where she came up with that one but boy did it melt my heart!

How do you eat YOUR pasta?

Bella likes to put them on her fingers and count them as she eats them. Makes meal time learning time! lol

Lexi likes to swipe them from her sister. Hers must be better than mine!

Baby Bakers

Ok, so if you know anything about me, you know I LOVE Target. So one day I was going through the dollar aisles up front and found the cutest little chef hat and aprons and figured they would be perfect since Bella is just really starting to get into dress up at all.


For some reason, anytime I tell Bella I want to take her picture, she goes off and stands in front of this wall! Of course her attention was distracted because Dora was on in the background!

Even Lexi got in on the action.

"Let's Play" with Mema & Grandpa Rodney

There is a place close by called "Let's Play" that is like an indoor kiddie playground and the thing that makes it so cool is the "big kids" are allowed in too! So when Mema and Grandpa Rodney came for a visit it was the perfect place to go. This is a pic of the girls waiting for them to get to the house.


"Please Mommy can we go play now?"

Mema and Lexi had fun in the 2 and under gated off section complete with foam blocks and lots of fun little toddler toys.

And when Grandpa Rodney came in he found a big ring to stick on her head!

My Girls

I remember this day like it was yesterday! It was the first time bella figured out she had pockets and she could stick her hands and all kinds of other little goodies in there!

My Lexi girl is always so happy and smiley even when she is shrieking and breaking my eardrums, the girl has a smile on her face!
