happy halloween

Bella with her trick or treat bag full of candy she just treated. Parenthood just got more rewarding:)

halloween at the botanical gardens

We joined the Mayer/Allen Family spending hallow eve's at the Maine Botanical Garden for Famlily Fright Night. Both Bella and her buddy Lawson were monkey friends.

It was like stuffing a sausage getting her into her bee costume

Bella's anniversary card she made for us:) Apparently it's edible.

halloween party

Today is the Halloween party at Ms. Bethany's. Here is a preview of our halloween theme this year. I tried to get Rubbles in the picture but he keeps eating his costume.

Halloween is right around the corner and everyday this week Bella has a different halloween outfit. Thanks Auntie Val and Gramma D!

booo coo

We had a nurse visit today. 29 inches tall (95%) and 20lb 7oz (90%). Bella may be joining her cousins Eric and Pia on the ice. Big GIRL!

1st camping trip

The Bachman clan went camping for the first time. The kids were awesome. Both Bella and Rubs had a great time celebrating Uncle Finnie's birthday in the great outdoors.


The little cabin we stayed in.

Rubbles and Ellie playing in the water. They look almost alike - just in a different size.

Going on a walk with Daddy thru the woods.

fryburg fair

It's important to me that I share with Bella the same experiences I had as a child. Going to the Alto Fair was a staple of every summer growing up. Now we have our own family tradition, the Fryburg Fair. I was so excited. I took Matty into every 4-H building to see all the crafts.

Mommy taught Bella and Daddy the importance in moving quickly if you see a cow tail go up.

Bella's first french fry. Not Mommy's idea.

I was so excited to show the pig barn! It was the only barn with a line to get in. Who doesn't love bacon?

BAHHHHHHHHHHH!

Andrew and Kate's Wedding

this little piggy has grown

While we were still in the hospital I took a picture of Bella next to her pink piggy. A few months later it seems that her piggy blanket has skrunk!!!
