Bella noticed my rings in my jewelry box and she said, "Oooh Mom that one is pretty!" (talking about my wedding ring.) I told her that it was the ring that Daddy gave me when we got married. She took a second and looked at all the rings in my jewelry box and said, "WOW!!! Mom, how many boys have you married??!!"
Oodelally, oodelally, golly what a day!
Because my memory is wretched, and because these moments are too precious to forget. A safe place for me to record exciting times, my personal thoughts about life and what God is teaching me!

Boomshakalaka Bella
Bella is a hoot - and I don't know where she gets half of what she comes up with!
Andy was pestering her - they were laughing and he was tickling her on our bed - finally he trapped her under his legs and she was yelling and fussing while she laughed. He let her up and she jumped across the bed and came back around in front of him - but out of reach......turned around and pulled her pants down - MOONED him and said BOOM-SHAKA-LAKA!!!!! and ran off!!!! It was priceless!

Bella in tunnel
Going to Dauphin Island - the girls were getting a little cabin feverish - as we went into Mobile and through the tunnel Bella yells - "Put your hands in the air like you just don't care!!" The whole car laughed - which was probably her goal.....
Silly girl!

Bella funnies
Bella has been hard on her daddy lately! She is so funny though!
Andy had gotten dressed all nicely for a funeral and even put on some aftershave with it to smell good. She isn't accustomed to him wearing aftershave.....so when he came in he leaned down to love on her and she said "Ooooh Daddy - you stink!" haha!
Also, Andy had gotten the girls each a heart of candies for Valentine's Day. That afternoon Bella came home and said, "Daddy's chocolate was YUCK!!! I tried to eat it and it was filled with MUSTARD!!!!!" We busted out laughing!! She didn't even try it - she saw yellow on the inside and not realizing it was lemon creme, she just assumed it was mustard!

Last weekend Eliza and I went to Montgomery for her first dance competition. During the course of the weekend I bought her some goldfish as a snack and a couple of them got spilled on the passenger floorboard. A WEEK LATER, Anna Claire goes to the car with her sisters to go to school and I was finishing things up inside. I come outside and she is gagging and spitting beside the car......I'm immediately concerned and ask what happened.......for SOME REASON that we can't figure out, Anna Claire thought it was a good idea to EAT the week old goldfish that have been sitting underneath people's feet all week!!!

We were watching "The Hobbit" trilogy again, together as a family. I was sitting next to Juliana and Andy commented, "She is such a pretty redhead - I wonder if its naturally red?" Juliana didn't miss a beat - "Why thank you - yes it is natural!!"
LOL!!

Anna Claire and I were playing a trivia game on her phone as we went to town. The question was "Name a food that begins with a "B." The big sisters all start calling out - BANANAS, BRUSSELS SPROUTS, BACON ...... so Bella feels the need to contribute...... "POTATOES!!!!" We all cracked up!
