The Bells

This weekend I went to a baby shower for a friend of mine, Carmen. Her husband, JP, was one of my closest friends in high school. It was a really nice shower, and it was so good to see Carmen. She's is looking cute with her big belly. I wish I had some pictures, but I left the camera with Colin.
I dropped Colin and the boys off at our friends, the Bells, before I headed to the shower -they live in North Richland Hills and the shower was about 25 minutes away in Keller. We hadn't even met their youngest daughter Lia until now, and she is already One year old! Their older daughter, Ann, is 4 1/2. It was so great to see them. Ann and Jackson had a blast, and Cooper and Lia had fun crawling around together.
Jackson has quite a history with Steven and Meredith. He rolled over the first time when they were at our house for the 4th of July, two years ago. Then, he took his first steps at their house a little over a year ago. And, this weekend, he caught his first fish!!!! I can't believe I missed it, but luckily Colin knows me well enough and he was sure to take pictures. Evidently he loved reeling it in, but wasn't so crazy about it once he got it on shore. He has not stopped talking about it since then.

Meredith and Lia - Isn't she precious?
She waves and says "hi" over and over, and I can't get enough of it.
She's just so sweet!

Cooper had such a good day.
He really loved Meredith and was hugging her all day.



I adore this picture of Ann.
She's so stylish with her dress, jewelry, shades, and hat.
Love the expression - not sure what it was about!




And, ... the fish!
This picture just makes me laugh.
Ann is so proud of her fish, and Colin is so proud of Jackson, and Jackson is, well, a bit terrified.

At the end of the day, we tried to get a group picture on the couch. Here are two of the "best."

Thank you Steven and Meredith, for giving up your Saturday
and hanging out with us all day.
We had such a great time.
