so. much. to. say.

I have so much to say, not enough time to do it or write it! Quick posts about each of my children right now. I want to remember it the way it is today. Time just flies way too quickly.



Bella. She is a snaggle tooth right now; she's lost three teeth with two more quickly on their way. She is sweet and helpful, but moody and argumentative on any given day. She is 6 and a half right now, 7 in April. She is still doing the Spanish immersion program at Antioch and I just love speaking Spanish with her. Unfortunately we lost her wonderful teacher about half way through the year this year and the adjustment has been tough on me. The students seem fine :)

Bella got her own room this year when we added a room/put up walls around the old playroom. It is still in the works but she has been able to live in it since before Christmas. Her favorite color is purple and she loves to play with Ava. They fight a lot, at least lately, but still keep going back for more. She is really good with Porter and loves to hold Turner.

She eats like a bird and asks to go to the movie theatre on a daily basis. She has been a little boy crazy this year and we have had to reign her in, reminding her she is Daddy's girl for about twelve more years and he is the only one she will be dating until then! There is a great book we got from our neighbor that helps teach our view- The Princess and the Kiss. Bella and Randy participate in Y-Guides through the YMCA. The tribe they are in is called the Arendale Arrows and they go on a short trips, outings around town and have regular tribal meetings- just daddies and their daughters. They have a daddy/daughter princess date coming up soon.

For now she is reading well, writing and drawing all the time. She still prefers training wheels but we are hoping this summer will be the breakthrough for that. She is going to start a golf class next week that meets at her school so we are looking forward to how this game unfolds in her life.

Most importantly, Bella accepted Christ this past year. She has lots of questions but mostly answers for her little sister, ha. She is in a phase right now where she wants to go to big church and we are letting her for now.

Much like the title, she has so much to say (read argue) these days...

My favorite thing about her is her style- she wears anything well. Some days she has on very preppy outfits, other days they are cutesy but most days it is a variety of all kinds of wild with a sweater, always a sweater and frilly socks sticking out of her boots or her gold strappy shoes. I. love. it.
