Birthday Girl

My little girl is 3!! She is so big and mature for her age that sometimes it looks like she's even older. She is very sweet and so girly (I love it). She loves to play with hair. That includes me, her friends and herself. She likes to make us laugh by making funny faces. I can already tell she loves music and she's quite a singer too. I think she will be a singer like her dad. She is very smart and already knows the alphabet and numbers. She is a girl who loves to have fun and eat a lot of candy (when her mom allows her to ;) We are so blessed to have Isabella in our lives! We love you so much!

Here's a few pictures of her little party.

Making bracelets and necklaces with Fruit Loops cereal.

Decorating cup cakes

The best was when we sang happy birthday. She was so happy and her smile was so big!! I regret so bad not recording it. I hope I never forget that angelical, pure, innocent smile ... ever. 

 Opening presents ... she was so excited!

Giving her friends some treats.

Jumping on the trampoline

Happy Birthday Bella! We love you so much!

Jumping

So, we got a trampoline!! That was one thing I really wanted to get the kids this Spring and they love it! I never thought I would want a trampoline just because they can be dangerous so I got the complete set with the pad and net. It's been so fun! 

Trampoline effect .. I love this picture!

She can do summer salts! So cute!

READY ...

SET ...

GO!

Here's a little video of them jumping.

Chores

Right when I was starting to get the kids to do chores I went to my friend's house, Heather, and saw these super cute chore charts she got at Etsy. So I checked the store and thought how fun it would be to customize and make it myself. Plus it would cost less too. So I went to The Wood Connection and got the wood and metal. Then I bought the vinyl and the magnets I ordered from the same girl at Etsy. I was actually going to make them myself but, after calculating the cost, the magnets from Etsy were cuter and for the same price. It was really fun to make them and, BEST OF ALL: It works! It's so much easier to get the kids to do their chores now. Their goal is to get the STAR at the end of the day (they get the star after they complete their daily chores). Plus, every once and a while, I give them rewards too. Way to go kids! :)
