Happy Birthday Bellah & Daddy

Well, it's been a really long time since I update this thing - sorry about that! In case you didn't know - David and I are expecting baby #2 (Jan 28) and I've been bed ridden - again - with morning sickness. :o( I took most of June and July off of work and have recently starting going back to work - wahooo!

So, July is a busy birthday month for us! David's mom's b-day is the 9th, David's is the 17th and Bellah's is the 24th! :o)

We celebrated David's Birthday on the 17th, unfortunately I was too sick to be of any help so he had to go get his cake and ice cream all by himself. :o( I wasn't even able to get him a birthday card. :o( But it was probably his favorite birthday since he doesn't like all that stuff anyways! :)

Here's Bellah and daddy - Bellah was so excited about the birthday cake! I wasn't able to get a candle "9", so we used 9 candles we had laying around the house..... much better effect! :)

Daddy blew out ALL the candles! Yay daddy! Yes, he picked out the pink cake... I think the choices were slim and so we have a pink cake. It was a strawberry cake and was really yummy! :o)

Next, onto the big 3-year-old! Bellah is officially 3 years old, which I have been reminded, makes her a Sunbeam in church next year! YIKES! I didn't realize that was so close! :*/

Bellah's favorite color is either pink or purple, depending on the day. :o) For whatever reason, after daddy's birthday, Bellah kept talking about a blue cake. Sooooo.... when mommy went to the store to get her cake... I got a .......

BLUE CAKE!

She LOVED it, of course and we finally got to use that fancy Scooby Doo hat I bought for her 1st birthday party back in Atlanta-but forgot to bring! DOH!

She LOVES to pose for the camera and have her picture taken. Be advised that she is NOT naked, but does have panties on.... I am no longer it complete control over what she wears and this day was half-naked day - apparently.... :o)

One of her signature poses. :o)

Blowing out the candles.... (daddy had to help because with each "blow" she started spitting a little more and we wanted to eat the cake too!) :o)

When I was looking for some cake decorations, I actually found some really cute Disney Princess stuff for $1! Yay!

She loves opening her presents too!

This is her new Princess crayons and notebook with pink pen set. :o) She LOVED it!
Go mommy!

Opening Papa's birthday card.... daddy had to help her read it. :o)

And still more Princess stuff for $1! Wahoo!

This was her "big" present....... soooo exciting! I wonder what it is!?!?!??!

A bubble gun! Yay for bubbles!

She loves playing with bubbles outside and this gun makes it easier for her to make the bubbles. She likes to chase the bubbles around too which is too cute to watch! :o) So, another low-key birthday this year... next year, when I'm better, I think we'll try to get some of her church friends together and have a friends party! yay!! Then Jojo can come over and help me actually make the cake for the party instead of always buying it (though I do love some store bought cakes)

So, life is good. David is officially out of the military and has been for almost a month and a half! Still no job, but he's going to school for an MBA and started classes a few weeks ago. He's just concentrating on that for a few months and then we'll see if we have a better idea of where we can go or what we can do.

I'm almost done with 2 out of the 3 classes I need to sit for the CPA exam. Yay! Hopefully by next summer, I'll start taking some exams and by next December I'll be a CPA.... wish me luck!

Hopefully I'll be better at monthly updates, though not much is happening these days!

Love ya!
