Ovariohysterectomy

Poor little Bella Baby had her ovariohysterectomy yesterday morning... she has 4 little stitches on her baby belly and is just taking it easy. She is laying and resting on her new pillow and being oh so sweet! She is such a good girl and is such a blessing!!

SURPIRSE!!

This boy is amazing! He surprised me with tickets to see Brad Paisley at DTE with Dierks and Jimmy Wayne!! It was such a blast - - - it was my first concert since I saw N'Sync on my 11th birthday!! That is embarrassing! We went with another couple and just had a great time listening to great music - - - what a great surprise!! =D

4th of July

For the 4th of July, Adam, Bella, and I went to East Tawas with his family. We left on Wednesday morning and just had a few days of relaxing and enjoying the beautiful lake.

Happy Independence Day!!

Hands Down

She is HANDS DOWN the cutest thing ever!! Look at her sweet face! I love how when you say her name, she cocks her head and looks up. She is trying so hard to be a good girl (she just turned 3 months old) - - - I can't get enough of her!

This is Bella getting ready to support Adam on 'Game Days' - - - he is already looking forward to football season, going to all the Michigan games (although he goes to MSU). We decided Bella MIGHT grow into this by the time the season starts - - - dont you LOVE her bow?

And again, but this time pink bow and ruffle dress! She honestly could not have an ounce more cuteness in her! She loves her dress and is being such a good girl!

TIGERS

A few weeks ago, Adam and I decided to drive to Detroit and watch the Tigers! I think we picked the most uneventful game to attend - - - NOTHING happened until the 9th inning! We had a blast though!!

We had REALLY good seats, right in left field . . . but we were looking DIRECTLY into the sun. We were thrilled when it set under the stadium walls :-)

This is us (sideways) in front of the famous tiger!! (Moms request)

Chicago

This is how Bella spent most of her time in Chicago! She was SO good in the bag!! She never had an accident in there! We would let her out periodically and she would do her business, but NEVER while we held her or while she was in the bag!! Isn't she a good girl?! (Let's just say she doesn't have a problem going inside our house though!)

Adam and I enjoying and celebrating together! I was so glad he was able to come and take a break from his studies to celebrate! We will always remember this weekend :-)

Bella loved playing and rolling in the grass at the Millenium Park! She is becoming quite a funny puppy!!Our WHOLE family together in the beautiful "Windy City" enjoying each others company!

My soon to be Sister - In - Law and my puppy!! We had a great time together, making lifetime memories!

College Graduate

Friday, May 8th it all began! I had a half day of school and as soon as I was out, we packed our things (including Bella) and heading to the great university of Olivet Nazarene!! We got there just in time for Baccalaureate service. We left Bella alone in the hotel that did NOT allow dogs, but how much damage can a 7 1/2 week adorable puppy do? Adam, Jonathan, and Sarah arrived a little later and rescued our sweet puppy. Mom, dad, and I got back from the service and enjoyed the company of our family!
Saturday morning, we all got up and around. We headed to Olivet to get seats and for me to line up. It was (and still is) so surreal to me! It was a cold, windy, and cloudy day . . . all the graduates and family had coats and layers . . . except me, who was wearing a spaghetti strap dress!! Of course they did it in alphabetical order, so I was just about last and all the way in the back! It was still fun to see everyone and ONU again!

Adam and I, with my graduation gift right after I was handed that VERY expensive piece of paper! Adam, Jonathan, and Dad all brought the SAME color shirt to wear with slightly different colored pants! It was a hoot!

Isn't she the most precious graduate!? I thought she should have walked across the stage instead of me!! While mom was trying to take my picture IN FRONT OF EVERYONE...a large gust of wind came and swooped my cap right off my head! I had to walk 23 rows back trying and stumbling to get my cap back on! Embarrassing!! :-)

Bella did such a great job in the car and all weekend! She is growing so fast and gaining such a personality... a bossy one at that!! Love her!!
