Soaring...

The grand finale of the gymnastics part of the party was a bungee swing by the birthday girl.  She soared, she smiled, she giggled, she laughed, she blushed....Yahoo!  I love to see her so happy.

Party On

It wouldn't be a party without pizza, cake and cupcakes with your friends.

Oh, Yea - Gifts

Did I mention there were gifts?

Grand 5th Birthday...

...with the Grandparents.

Riding Ahead

One of the most clear cut differences in our Spring regime this year is that our little bicyclist is confident enough and in control enough to ride ahead.  Such pride as watch her from a few yards back. She is growing and maturing in all the right ways.

I say again, I have the best seat for the best show ever.  Loving my life as Daddy of two.

Mother's Day 2014

Each of us presented Mommy with Roses in our favorite color - mine were yellow, Skyler's were orange and Bella's were pink.  Now they all belong to Mommy as a symbol of our love and appreciation for her.

Later we dined and uh, shopped a little at Pandora.

Happy Mother's Day, Deborah.

Chicken Fingers

Me: "Bella stop sticking your fingers in the ketchup and eating it."

Bella: "But Daddy, that is why I get Chicken Fingers so I can dip my chicken AND my fingers in the ketchup."

How am I supposed to refute that logic?  Checkmate.

Anything

Yep, she can ask for pretty much anything and I'll have a world of trouble saying "no."  Could you say "no" to this face?

Loveless Cafe

Isabella conquers another first - her very first visit to Nashville's legendary Loveless Cafe.  Biscuits anyone?

Pretty in Spring

Isabella, perhaps, has learned the art of the photo op from her Daddy.  Walking into church this morning, she spotted a dogwood in bloom and exclaimed:  "Daddy, I want a picture with the tree."

Later in the day, my little blogger to be used my camera to take photo's of her baby dolls.

Spring Shopping

The girls headed out for a Saturday of shopping with Spring attire in mind.  Although not attire, Isabella successfully talked Mommy into a visit to the Build A Bear shop.

With all of the care you could ask, Isabella created a new creature to care for.
