No Business Today, Just A Beautiful Day

I have to say that today was such an awesome day in general. You gotta love the sun shining bright first thing in the morning. Starts the day off just right. My day started early, 5:30 a.m., because I had to take my daughter, Kayla, to Target to be first in line to purchase the Wii Game System. She saved all her birthday money to make this purchase, and finally, we found somewhere she could actually get one. So following you will see a "snapshot" of Kayla and her brother, Nathan, bowling on the Wii system. Why did I snap this? Well, because this is a VERY rare occurrence - the two of them in the same room together without wanting to pull each other's hair out. On a normal day, they usually bump into each other in the hallway, yell for each to get out of the bathroom before school, and race to see who can get on the bus first. So, honestly, this moment was one I had to document, for the couple of hours spent together yelling at the t.v. was such a sweet moment, for a mother who NEVER seems to get this kind of peace (even if they were betting 50 cents a game).



EDIT: Now, just as I was posting this, Nathan and Kayla decided they had enough of getting along and wanted to go back to the way things usually are. So, after breaking them up because Nathan didn't want to pay up his 50 cents, I ran here to edit my lovely post.

My darling, little, sweet Isabella. Oh, how I love her age so. She is five and although she does have her moments, mostly she is such a little doll. Now, I know some family members reading this right now are probably laughing and thinking "who is she talking about?" But as her mother, I say that about 90% of the time my Bella is just the sweetest and cutest gal ever. She was outside all day today with her best friend, Jesse. Those girls are inseparable, and they just love each other. I am so thankful they have each other. Here is a shot of Bella and then one of both girls. Have to add, Bella and Kayla are now playing bowling on the Wii system, and Bella is kicking Kayla's butt : 195 to 145. Go Bella!





Today my mom, known as Nita, was over for a little while and hung outside with Bella. Here is a quick shot I took while they were trying to communicate with the birds...chirping away. Bella learned to whistle, too. This is not the most flattering shot of my mother, but it does show the love she and Bella share.
