Sesame Street Live

Last night we went to Sesame Street Live at the DeSoto Civic Center down in Southaven, Mississippi which is only about 45 minutes from our house. Paige had a great time. Actually we all did! Even Bella seemed captivated, as least for Act I, she slept during Act II. Paige wore her Abby Cadabby outfit and Elmo bow just for the occasion. Here's a few pictures from the evening.

Paige's Rides

Paige and Cannon thoroughly enjoyed themselves riding all the kiddie rides. They rode the Bee, the Genie and even a plane! We asked Paige after her very first ever ride (the bee) if she liked it. She said "FUN BEE!!" So cute. Memories that will last a lifetime!

Here is a short video clip of Paige & Cannon riding the Bee. They are having a ball!

Family Vacation - Branson!

The first weekend of August we headed to Branson, Missouri with Damon, Jana, Cannon & Asher Johnson. We enjoyed our stay there so much! There is so much to see and do, just not enough time in the day to do it all! We stayed at the Welk Resort (as in Lawrence Welk) and had a very nice lodge. They ran out of space and had to 'upgrade' us - we lucked out for sure!! Look at some pictures of this rocking Lodge!
While in Branson, we visited Celebration City. This park stays open late and ends the evening with a huge fireworks show. Here is a couple pictures of all of us riding the ferris wheel. Paige nor Bella seemed scared to be so high. We enjoyed the sights of the city. Paige & Ava rode the Carousel together. Paige still loves carousels. We seem to find one where ever we go.
We also visited Silver Dollar City - a very family friendly amusement park. We saw a Veggie Tales show and afterwards got to meet Bob and Larry in person! Bella wouldn't take her eyes off of them! Paige found a cute house in the park that was just her size.




August Pool Party

Our friends, Rusty & April, have an awesome pool. We went over to their pool party a few Saturdays ago and had a blast!! Bella was so cute in her bikini! Paige loved the water, riding in the boat float and ladybug. It was a day to remember.



Guitar Baby

Four-month old guitar prodigy. She can even play with her feet!!!



Bella's First Cereal Meal

The first week of July, Bella turned 4 months old. So now she has been given the green light to try new foods. The doctor of course recommended to start her on rice cereal. She hasn't quite picked up the 'art of eating' yet, but she is trying.
