A Princess, the Pool and a Puppy Balloon.

Here's what's been going on the past few days:

Bella has really started to LOVE dressing up as "Cinderbella". When she plays dress-up she has to have the whole ensemble, from head to toe. She'll dance around the room singing and do twirls. She's so adorable.
Here she is surfing on her kick board in her dress up clothes.

I just love her smile!
Our little beauty!

We've enjoyed going to our friend's community pool. Isabella loves to wear her life jacket and float around the pool. Usually, I meet our friends during the week, but we all got to go as a family this past Sunday.
Isabella was so excited to swim with daddy!
Isabella pretty much smiles the whole time we are in the pool! Warming up in her towel after a swim.Isabella has been practicing floating on her back in the bathtub. She was so proud of herself when she was floating in the pool. Mommy and daddy are proud too!
Love that smile and her thumbsucking teeth:)

We've been trying to explore more of Colorado on the weekends when David is home. This past weekend we planned on going to a hot air balloon festival, but when we got there, there wasn't a balloon in site. I guess they had all taken off already and since Bella was asleep, we kept driving and ended up in the very liberal town of Boulder at the base of the Rockies. When Bella woke up she immediately said, "Yeah, we're at the balloon place!" Oops! David explained the situation to her and we think she kind of understood, especially since we told her we'd find a balloon where we were. You don't know how happy and relieved we were to find this balloon man so we could follow through for Bella!
She waited so patiently for her turn to get her balloon. Finally, Bella and her pink and purple puppy balloon!
Daddy, Bella and the puppy (Bella actually named it, but I can't remember the name). Bella was so funny with this bear statue that was on a street corner. She was hugging the bears and telling them, "I love you bears". She's so sweet! And yes, I purelled her little hands right after:)
