April

Bella's Kindergarten class performed the songs Mr. Sun & Warm, Warm Weather.

Here's one of her songs, sorry it's sideways, I'm still learning to use my cell phone's recorder. But at least you can hear her outstanding voice.

Bella's friends Peighton and Veda

Victoria still enjoys gymnastics. She's gotten better at her splits and kickback bridge.

Bella likes to do flips on the trampoline- BUT ONLY if adults are present.

Enjoying a Rough Rider game.

Bella had a class field trip to Safety Town. She was chosen to come up in front of the class and answer a question, if she got it right then her class would get to ride the cars first. And she did! The whole class cheered.

I honestly think Bella is going to be a safe driver. She stopped at all the red lights, drove in the right lane and practiced perfect safety, unlike the majority of the kids I saw- it was a mad house!

For Earth Day Bella enjoyed climbing trees and Victoria made Dirt (chocolate pudding mixed with whipped cream, crushed Oreos on top with gummy worms crawling out) for her Girl Scout Snacks. She topped them with a spoon that had a flower that looked like the planet Earth tapped to it- cut out by her after we printed them off the computer. 

I think this will be Bella's last year of soccer. She still enjoys it, but only for the first 10 minutes of the game and only enjoys playing the fun games like Shark at practice, otherwise she complains nonstop about having to run so much.

Bella cheers her team on with a homemade sign we made last year.

And what does Victoria do during Bella's game. She likes to climb trees, catch butterflies, read books, and draw flower pictures.

I love cleaning the house only to go to the bathroom, with cleaning supplies in hand, open the door, and find this. I'm told that they were playing schoolhouse. cleaning/putting things away is a never ending job.

Victoria showed Bella how to make her own Trapper Keeper.

Bluebonnet Pictures at Zion Cemetery



The girls saw a butterfly and started to chase it around. I wasn't as concerned with them stepping on bluebonnets (they were being careful- until the end), this year was a horrible year for bluebonnets. There was only about a third of them compared to last year. The yellow flowers were pretty though.

It was at this point that Bella had to go to the restroom. Victoria was on the top of the hill, she came leaping down as fast as she could- I sure hope we didn't hurt anything, but in the words of Annie-when you gotta go, you gotta go :)

I'm here for you Bella!

Bella was so grateful to Victoria for hurrying that she shared her strawberry Sonic shake.
