Happy 1st Birthday Bella! (Part 2)

On September 21st my baby girl turned 1!!! It seems like yesterday, when I was holding this beautiful 7lbs 5oz baby girl in my arms and now she's 1!!! On her real Birthday we went shopping, got lunch then ordered out pizza and watched the new Tinkerbell movie. Of course, Bella got a practice run at her cake smashing too. Daddy and I never gave up "hope" having you honey and in return God blessed us with Bella Hope

Thanks Ash!

Going, going

and GONE! We didn't actually think she would blow out the candle and before we sang Happy Birthday. LOL! We just did things a lil backwards and sang after she blew her candle out. I heard that's good luck anyways.haha

Now what? haha



Where do I begin?



Love her!

We all patiently waited for her to make a mess.

But she wasn't so sure

Can someone help me here?

It took Ash to tear it open and then the fun started!

Thanks Jay, Jen and Cam!

This hawk graced us with his presence off and on during Bella's party. The neat thing about it, is that Matt asked his dad to be at Bella's party, afterall she was born on his birthday! Well, his dad liked red tailed hawks. Not sure if that's what it was, but still! Love when things like this happen.
