Ok, so I've decided to get back to blogging...after a 2 month stall, sorry! I've just been really busy with different things and my little side business has really taken off! If anyone needs pillowcase dresses, hairbows, tutus, personalized onesies, burp cloths, etc, etc, etc....just let me know! Facebook has tremendously helped my business grow. If ever just browsing around, visit The Razzle Dazzle Shop & "like it". I'm thinking about adding some kind of contest to where the 100th person (have a few to go to reach that..!) will receive a free boutique hairbow or something like that!
This summer Bella took gymnastics and loved it, but has since decided to take dance this fall instead (she's going to make her mama proud!) She starts next week at All Rythym Dance Alley and will be taking ballet and tap. Let's just say, she is VERY excited about this! She's going to be so cute in her little leotard & tutu. I started dance when I was her age and took all the way up to my junior year in high school. Speaking of high school, my 10 year reunion is this October. I can not believe it has been 10 years, kind of makes me feel old! :)
Well, that's all for now, I will try and not be gone for so long! These adorable pictures (yes, I'm a bit biased!) were taken by Erin Walker, ImaginePhotographi . She's really good and has great prices!

Well, that's all for now. Expect a big post Saturday after the big party!!

Cruise Countdown - 3 Days!
On another note, Bella had some glamour shots made a few weeks ago & the pictures are absolutely adorable! She did wonderful & made her mama proud. I will get those pictures posted soon on here.
I will try to get some pics of Bella posted before we leave & I might even be able to get Jared to post some while I'm gone (we'll see about that one!).
I'll try & not be missing for so long next time!

Guess what Bella's Wearing.....
My baby girl is turning into a "big girl" now. She has worn her panties since Thursday with no accidents!! Even on a road trip this weekend, we had to make several stops & get the potty out so Miss Priss could go. We really needed our video camera with us....its was quite a scene! Everyone is so proud of Bella & most importantly - she is proud of herself!

Easter Weekend Recap!
We reached a new milestone on Saturday afternoon....Bella learned how to ride her bicycle (w/ training wheels, of course!) and so now, we think we're big stuff and don't want to do anything but ride our bike or jump on the trampoline. She loves being outside!!
This may end up being picture overload - but enjoy!
Getting ready to leave the house & head to our Church's Egg Hunt

Poor Baby...
Well, this morning when she came to bed, she was somewhat fussing/whining/crying/a little bit of drama! I thought nothing of it b/c she is like that sometimes, but around 4 this morning when she was snuggled up to me, I noticed she felt awfully hot!! She was not sleeping real well, but wouldn't let me take her temp (by the way, tonight - I'm investing in one of the thermometers that you just rub across the forehead!). When it was time for her to wake up to get ready for playskool, she was fighting waking up & at the same time her little face was burning up! Again, tried to take her temp under her arm, but with her squirming & fussing - that wasn't happening. So, I finally got her dresses while she was still half asleep in bed and finally got her to get up by asking if she wanted to go to work with mama. That worked wonders! I got her ready (she wanted nothing to do w/ daddy), gave her some tylenol and we went on our way. I called the doc at 8 to get an appt and we lucked out & got in at 9:30 (shocking, yes!) We were suprised Dr. Payne had an opening. Bella calls her the "little girl"...it's hilarious! She used to see Dr. Green, who is a man BUT Miss Priss does not care for him. He's a pretty big guy, but an awesome doctor, but Bella doesn't think so. If he were to walk in the room - she would literally start screaming & climbing up on whoever was there with her. It's not a good site, so we switched her to Dr. Payne & she absolutely loves her! Well, when we get to the doc, they're not real busy & they call us back literally before we get sat down good. Miss Bella is petite! She weighs in at 29.5 lbs and is not on the tall side ;) She takes after her mama! I try to be 5'1 with heels on! My baby has *Double* ear infections and was running a 100 degree temp after medicine. Poor thing can't feel good - but she told me the entire way to the doctor that she didn't feel bad & nothing hurt, she's a trooper! After her appt, she was very excited - of course, she got 2 suckers, but the best part she was getting to go stay the day with Nana. Nana is actually my aunt, who's grandkids call her Nana - so Bella just follows right along with them & that's what she calls her too! It's pretty cute. She was extra excited b/c her cousin Jordan would be coming to play later on - she's all about playing! Even with her being sick, she was the sweetest thing. Hopefully with her antibiotics & ear drops, she'll be feeling better soon! We have to go back for a check-up in 3 weeks to make sure everything's healed up. We'll be saying a prayer!
Sorry for no pictures, didn't have time for that this morning! Have a good day!

My Etsy
Well, the sun is shining here in Texarkana - I'm ready for the weather to warm up & stay that way. I do not like these cool mornings, warm afternoons and cool nights nor do I like the allergies! I've already had a sinus infection & bronchitus since the weather started changing - you can say, I'm ready for summer time!
We cruise in 58 days! I have got to get started on tanning, this 'lil mama is some kind of white! I've got some shopping to do also, but we are excited & ready to go! It took me awhile to get Jared to agree to go on a cruise with me, but after much (basically) begging - he gave in. This will be our first cruise. We decided on just a 5 day for right now, but I'm *hoping* he will enjoy it enough so that we can go on a 7 day in the future (hint, hint Jared, if you read this --- St Lucia is calling my name!)
Sorry for no pics today, Bella wasn't in too good of a mood this morning (she really doesn't like being woke up...she's her mother's child for sure!)
Tomorrow is Friday!! Have a good Thursday!

This & That
This is a picture of part of an order for a co-worker's grandchild. The picture does not do it justice...the leopard w/ red is so cute!
It is hard to believe that 3 months from Thursday, my sweet Bella will turn 3 years old...June 18th is the big day. She thinks she's older than that - she told someone the other day that she was 5! We've already got her b-day party all planned out & she is super excited! Details to come later! :) It is finally getting warmer & she is really enjoying all this pretty weather and now with the time change, she is really excited because we can play outside longer. She loves to jump on her trampoline and play on her swingset. My mom & stepdad bought her a swing set for their house this weekend and boy, she thought she was something else. I think her favorite part of it was it having a see-saw, her mama & Bibbie got themselves a good workout (in the form of squats!) She really needs a sibling, but I don't see that happening or at least anytime soon. If we can ever get her potty-trained (ANY TIPS?!?), we will be good to go! She is so hard-headed, but very smart. I know she'll do it when she's ready - but mommy & daddy's grocery bill says to hurry up! She really amazes me in everything she does & says - we think this little girl is one smart cookie! She can count to 20, knows her abc's, says the Pledge of Allegiance, knows the Lord's Prayer, can spell red, orange & green (she learns to spell by singing songs - great idea!) and much much more. My baby girl is growing up fast! These next pictures were taken when we went to the park a few weekends ago, she had a blast!

Valentine's Day!
Hope everyone had a Happy Valentine's Day! The above picture was taken before church this morning, Bella was very excited to go see all her "little" friends, as she calls them. And of course, we had to take Valentine's to each of them, including her teacher friend Miss Jessica - whom she absolutely adores! We are very blessed at our church to have some great workers in our preschool department (yes, including me!) She just loves going to church, so happy for that.
Well, just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day - hope you had a great day! This next picture is of Miss Priss before school on Friday....as you can see, we had a very excited little girl (they were having a party that day!).
