My little artists

Early this summer we went to my brother Phil's house in Springville, UT. One day while we were there, all the kiddos wanted to paint. Here is Miranda and Bella making their masterpieces.

Flower Girl

My niece Samantha got married last weekend. Bella was her flower girl. From what I have been told, Bella was not very excited, and it was dang hot. Here are her big beautiful blue eyes!

She had her hairpiece in for a total of maybe five seconds. The photographer was pretty darn quick. This is about the only shot of her with it on.

In true "Ricky Fashion" (just kidding) she was a total Diva! She didn't just walk down the aisle, she bolted! Not one single flower made it onto the ground, until the very end when she just dumped the whole basket! She is so silly!

Isabella

Isabella (Bella is what we usually call her) is a goofy, beautiful, curly-haired two year old. I personally think that the curlier the hair, the zanier the personality. This girl keeps all of our household (whether is it just us, or a house full of guests) rolling with laughter. She is so funny. She loves to sing and dance. She likes to tell you how SHE thinks that YOU should be doing things.
She is definitely a "momma's girl" and I love that!!!

Bella and Aunt Susy call this her "grandma pose" because we have a picture of Rick's mom with her posing like this. Too Cute!

Bella Potter...she found her cousin's Harry Potter glasses and she wouldn't take them off.

Cooking Bella

Isabella decided that she wanted to cook in her "kitchen" when Aunt Susy put an apron on her. Daddy gave her a pan and ladel and she was a happy camper for quite a while. We were laughing so hard. Her hair wasn't even combed for the picture and I swear that she is just about perfect...whether her hair is combed or not.
