A girly girl with a gun!!!

Papa got home from work and him and Sess went outside to shoot paint balls. Wish I could put on a dress a holster belt and shoot a gun and look this dang cute
She dropped her balls!!!

Ummm....She could hit the target over and over again and yeah I think I hit it MAYBE 3 times at the most!!!

Ok so I was trying to hit the bucket ya know the BIG thing she was hitting the lil bottle tipped over.....

We aren't rednecks or anything...Papa and Sess shooting off the front porch (at least we don't have a couch on our front porch)

Ran out of paint balls

Still wish I could be this dang cute

She's a dead eye like her Auntie Ucky

There was a sippy cup they put on a pole and was seeing who could shoot it off first.....Sess WON!!!

Nana gave them a bird house for them to paint for her....oh see the big hole in the bucket?? Sess did that but I'm sure I helped a lil with it!!! hahaha

PALM TREES and TODD!!!! What more could a girl want???

My flight was at 11:20 a.m. I believe I might have been just a bit overly excited to go see Todd cause I left my house at 8:00 a.m. and ended up sitting at the airport for what seemed like FOREVER!!!! Finally MY plane got to the gate :) And of course I had to do the traditional self pic of me sitting in the airport dieing to get on the plane.....and still had an hour to sit and wait lol!!! Ok I said I was a bit overly excited!!!
Todd is a lil bit camera shy. Like he refuses to let me take a picture of him and it drives me NUTTY!!!! But he had homework to finish so I laid on the bed playing my DSi and played with his adorable nephews.
After he had finished his homework we went to dinner at a place called Claim Jumper. Dinner was amazing....our server SUCKED!!! But OMG the dessert we had to go was unbelievable. It had its own SHOEBOX as a to go box!!!! Todd has BIG hands and just look at the size of this PIECE of cake.

Hahaha.....we shared and this was ALL we BOTH could eat of this ONE piece of cake!!! His sister in law was so excited to help us eat it.

One of the reasons Todd and I have so much fun together is we both LOVE to play games with each other. We took the DSi with us everywhere including DINNER. We went to Mario's for a late lunch and we played games together....of course while holding hands. So romantic :) Absolutely loved it :)

I flew into Long Beach airport. It was so cute....so small.

Did I mention I totally forgot there were PALM TREES in California!!! Palm trees and Todd gave be BIG smiles all weekend long :)

On my sad sad flight home (rainy state of WASHINGTON) there were a few amazing and beautiful views.....

Just about to land in Seattle

The beautiful mountain I see everyday!!

Lil morsel of HEAVEN!!!

On the way down to Utah I was talking to mom. Told her that I needed to figure out what my lil morsel of heaven was going to be for this trip. Pacific beach was Dibbs, Kachloch was Gouda cheese so I'd need something for this trip. She turns and looks at me and says TODD!!! So yes Todd was my lil morsel of complete and udder HEAVEN for 3 days!!!
He's so dang cute, how could he not have been my lil piece of heaven :)
We had so much fun finally meeting and being with each other for a couple days that just wasn't long enough. We are trying to figure out the next time he gets to be my piece of heaven again :)

The road trip down to Utah

I'm not sure if I could travel any other way then in an RV or an airplane for long road trips. We were in a 37 foot RV pulling the truck and the motorcycle in the back of the truck.... Harmon and Matthew playing there DS's. This is what they looked like pretty much the entire time.
Amazing view of Mt. Hood as we drove through Portland

Stopped at a rest stop....can you tell I'm just a bit excited to get to Utah???

Wouldn't be a road trip without the traditional picture of Mississippi and Texas :)

On the second day of the drive down to Utah, Dad needed to get out and walk around for a bit. We stopped at a rest stop, dad, Harmon and Matthew got out to walk around. Dad came back to the RV and said you have to come look at the cactus we found its just right over there. Haha yeah right...we walk through the bushes and more bushes and down some trail that I'm not really sure was really a trail out into the middle of no where to see this beautiful cactus blooming :) Matthew then found another cactus, stuck it with the stick and carried it around saying he caught a cactus, it tried to run but he got it!!!

Super fun!!!

This was one of the many breath taking views from the motorcycle ride dad took me on up the canyon
Hahaha our shadow

Family Reunion in Utah

This year our family reunion was in Utah in the Ogden Canyon at Weber Memorial Park. When you first come into the park there are 2 cannons. Matthew and Harmon loved to go and play on them. The first time they went up there this is how Matthew came back. There was a helmet hanging on the seat of one of the cannons. He played with it the helmet till we left headed home then he hung it back up for the next lil kid to come along and play with it!!!ZuriAnn has the craziest cutest hair ever....she was going to town on the pickle and getting it all over her mom :)
I love this picture of my mom :)
His ears tasted good :)

He wouldn't let me bite his ear...but had fun calling me pantie wasted cow!!!

I'm sure Nana was giving Cha some very wise information about something over there!!!

Almost all of the Bell family.

Eric, Misty and ZuriAnn came up for the day...such a cute lil family

Cha and ZuriAnn had to play on Papa's motorcycle!!

Isn't he cute!!!!

I decided that before we left for Utah Matthew was in dire need of a hair cut. He has always wanted to try a mohawk but has always been nervous of kids at school making fun of him, so he decided since it was summer he was safe. I think he is the cutest thing ever. Papa gave his approval on it so he definitely LOVES it now :)

One of the million reasons my kids love there Papa!!!

Papa and the kids have found a new place to sit. Yes outside mom and dads bedroom window on the ROOF!!! They just think he is the greatest because there isn't much he WON'T let them do.....
They kept tapping on the window

Aren't they so cute...

Shop Hop Weekend

Every year there is a quilt store shop hop. I have gone with mom to a couple of them and was told by Arkansas that I was going this year!!! This isn't the greatest picture, actually I really don't like it of me at all but mom looks cute and it was the start of our day at the freakin butt crack of dawn 7:00 AM on a Saturday!!!

Shelton was our first shop we stopped at...can you see how excited I am.....

At the shop in downtown Olympia, mom had to parallel park her mini car and was so proud of herself for getting it in the spot, we just had to take a picture

As I get out of the car I see this sign and bust up laughing!!!!

The traditional Arkansas and Mississippi picture :)

I must say the views we got during the drives to the different shops was definitly nothing to complain about. We had Mt. St. Helens on one side of the road.
And Mt. Rainier on the other side of the road. We couldn't have asked for better weather.
