Grandma Bing's Halloween Party

We had tons of FUN, as always, at Grandma Bing's yearly Halloween party! We ate yummy chili and scones, played games, and received fun prizes!!! We love Grandma Bing's parties and appreciate all she does to get them ready for us! We love you Grandma Bing!

Here are just a few pictures of all the scary little Monsters who attended-

Bella's First Birthday Party!

We had so much fun at Bella's party! She opened all her fun gifts! We sang to her and she loved it! She dug into her cake and got pretty messy! We all had cupcakes and ice cream! All the kids were able to fill a bag full of candy, they loved it! We all enjoyed spending time with each other and sharing in Bella's special first Birthday!

Happy Birthday Bella

I can not believe that this day is here! Bella is one TODAY! Can you believe it? Her little baby life has past by so quickly! Where did the first year go? She is so much fun and I am so glad that she came into my life. I love her tons and tons!

I am amazed at all the things she can do at such a tiny age. Some of her favorite things to do are, go down the small slide with her brother, climb inside her toy car and go on walks around the block. Bella has brought so much more to our family.... a lot more drama, tears, and LOUD screams, but lots of happiness. We love you little Bella Boo! Happy First Birthday!

These AMAZING pictures were done by my friend Kami Nelson. You can check out her picture blog as Kaminelson.blogspot.com. She is so talented in everything she does!

~ I also want to wish my friend Katie a Happy Birthday today too! We love you!~

Blogger Friends

So I have a few friends out there that are private bloggers or I do not have your blog address (Monica, Katie, & Tiffany). I know you have invited me before, however I need you to do it again. When you first sent me the invite I was not up on how to save you into my blog, but now I know how! Will all of you blogger buddies please email me an invite to mtloan@readytek.net so I can add you to my blogging list. I get these cute comments from you all but can not get into your blogs to check on how you are doing. Thanks so much and sorry I was not better at it when you first invited me.

Preschool

Rhett started preschool last week! He was super excited!!! He has been ready for school, well since he could talk! He has older cousins that go to school, who he wants to be just like, so he was ready for this day. It is just too bad that he only goes twice a week. He asked me, "Mom why don't I go to school everyday like my cousins do?" I explained because he was younger and one day he will everyday too!

I am so proud of him. He did so good to say goodbye to me. He did not even look back! It is so great to see him grow into a brave little boy! It is also sad to see my baby turn into a young boy, but wow I am so proud of how wonderful he is. I love you Rhett!

Meet My New Nephew~

McGuire Kip Bingham

He is here and I am so EXCITED!!! Although he decided to take a while to get here,

he Finally made it at 12:58 a.m. on June 18th 2009.

He weighed 8lbs 8oz

20 1/2 inches long

and he has a beautiful head of auborn hair!

I love him more than ever!

It is so much fun to be an aunt again!

I know him! The man flying this C-17

Can you believe this actually flies? And can you believe I know someone who knows how to fly it? Well I do and he is my brother!!! I am not wanting to brag, well I kinda am wanting to, I am so proud of him.

Adam, my big brother, is in the U.S. Air force and he amazes me everyday with all the cool adventures he has taken this far in his life. He was able to fly in the recent airshow at Hill Air Force Base a couple of weeks ago.

Adam has such a talent for anything and everything in life. I only wish I had as much determination as he does! Whatever he sets out to do, he does and he does it well!

Nothing stops or gets in his way! What a great example you are to me Stingin' Bingham-

I love you!

San Diego Trip

I am posting this a little late! Time sure flys in life now days. Nick, Rhett, and I went to San Diego at the end of last month and we had tons of fun! We visted the Zoo, Sea World and of course Rhett's all time favorite, Legoland. It was a lot of fun to spend time together. Here are just a few of my favorite pictures from the trip.



</DIV>

Look how AMAZING they build characters out of legos. We told Rhett he could pick any lego set he wanted and guess what he picked? Yep Sponge Bob. Although Nick and I are not fans of Sponge Bob, we did tell him he could have whatever he wanted. So we left purchasing it for him. It is a pretty cute lego set and he was so Happy with it!

CHECK OUT MY SHADES!

We watched a 3D movie at LegoLand- Nick's glasses were broken

and Rhett just looked too cute in his 3D shades. I could not stop

laughing. I have the two cutest boys in my life.

Cute Bella Boo~

Ok I just had to post these pictures of my sweet Bella. She is so much FUN and is now 8 months old! She is army crawling everywhere and has been since about 6 months. I know Crazy!!! I cannot believe how mobile she is at such a young age. She pulls herself up to everything and sometimes she is brave enough to let go and stand for only about one second and then fall flat on her face!~ But being the tough girl she is, there is rarely any tears. We love her to peaces! Rhett thinks she is the cooleset sister ever! He is constantly kissing and hugging her!- How could you not, look at this cute face?
P.s. Don't you just love the baby leggins and girly skirt?- Thanks Kami she looks adorable in this outfit!!!

Bella's Baby Room

Since I have two older brother's who live out of state I wanted to blog Bella's cute bedroom once completed. Well it has been done for a few months now and like always I forgot to send them pictures of it like I promised. So I thought why not blog them instead. Here you go bro's look how cute and girly it is. For those of you who do not know this about me.... I LOVE to DECORATE! I would love to change my house decor every six months, but I don't because that is kinda silly!!!

Easter Sunday!

Easter Sunday was so much fun! We started our day off with a little Church and then to our Surprise when we came home the Easter Bunny had come! He brought Rhett and Bella tons of fun things. Rhett was so excited!!! We then went to Grandma and Grandpa Bings for the Annual Easter Egg Hunt. We finished the day off with a visit to Grandma and Grandpa Thompson.

It is tons of fun to be together as a family all day long, Nick and I love it!

Happy Easter Rhett & Bella
