Bella has lost her first tooth!!

Just when you thought Bella couldnt get any cuter, this happened:

She cant quit smiling at herself in the mirror!

I found some great homemade tooth fairy pillows on Etsy.com but since we didnt have one by the time her tooth fell out, she used the one I bought for the boys at Christmas Village. (Tennessee fans, you might want to look away)...

She wanted to leave her "Fairy Crafts" book out so the tooth fairy would know how much she loves fairies

In other news, I registered her for Kindergarten. Im pretty sure it was just yesterday that I brought her home from the hospital and rocked her in the glider chair. I wanted her to be a baby forever. I thought that was the best it could get. Then she started walking and saying "I love you too" and I thought THAT was the best age. Now, we get excited about 99 cent munchkin day at Dunkin Donuts together, and checking out crafty books from the Library- and Im pretty sure that THIS is the best age. The days are flying by too fast if you ask me but I am excited about the next best age! Cherish every moment!!

Cabin Fever!

Is it spring yet? Because we are bored to tears being stuck inside. We have been bundling up with coats and hats and play on the playground even though its really cold- Im sure we look crazy but the kids are tired of being indoors. We are paying for it now too because all of us have a head cold. We are busy with playdates and activities though and I thought I would post a few pictures of what we have been up to! Bella is still loving dance class. She goes once a week and practices ballet, jazz, and tap lessons. Her recital is going to be in June and her class is already practicing their dances. She is so nervous and actually didn't want to continue but we really felt like she would regret it. She is going to enjoy performing and I know she will be so beautiful! She is tall and thin- a perfect, lovely ballerina! Here are some pictures of her practicing in class.

I joined a Wilton Cake decorating class at a local craft store and had alot of fun learning the Wilton techniques. I had to make my own icing to practice making roses and piping all the details. Obviously, the kids really enjoyed when I would come home from "cake school" too!

Not going into the cake business anytime soon but I still had a good time. Here are some pics of my fellow graduates..Mom, Lisa, and Megan!

We had such a good time at the Lewis' house on Superbowl Sunday. Mom and dad always watch the big game with Joel and Anita- and this year, we were invited too! Jason and I really enjoyed spending time with Kristen and Kyle. It was fun for me and Kristen to see our moms together with their grandbabies!

Valentines Day was fun. I really try to make holidays exciting for the kids. They make holidays alot more fun for me! I hung streamers and hearts everywhere so when they came down to breakfast, there were lots of oohs and ahhs. I made fairytale pancakes and heart shaped eggs for breakfast and they each got a box of chocolates.

Bella has another new best friend from school named Alexis. They go to each other's house once or twice a week and have such a good time together. I took them to paint pottery at the Factory a few days ago and they did such a good job.

Bella wants to celebrate her 6th birthday at Third Coast Clay because she just loves painting pottery, then she wants to eat at her very favorite place- Logans! cute!

Until next time!
