Happy Campers

Jeff and I both grew up camping and went a few times before we had Bella, so we thought after 4 years it was time to pick it back up again and see how our little city girl liked it . . . . 

Love at first flame! 

The funniest part was when she got in trouble at one point in the weekend and Jeff put her by a tree for a "time out".  We quickly realized time out's while camping is not effective when you have a child who likes getting dirty.  We basically just relocated her to a new pile of dirt to play in.

Jeff and Bella on the ski lift at Snow Bowl.  So pretty!  (the ride not Jeff)

Quite a view!

I love school!

Off to another year of preschool, five morning a week this year!  She was excited to go and by day 3 didn't want to come home with me at noon.  Other mom's have asked me what I do for 3 hours while I'm home alone, my response: "Anything I want!"

Summer Bliss

This is the second year we have escaped to Idaho for the summer and I do so hope it is a tradition we continue for years to come!

The first day and Bella comes and asks "Mama, can we stay here forever?" . . . 

Day 2 and she might be re-thinking . . . (see her in the corner) At the river . . .  Just cute had to throw it in.
