All the World Loves a Clown..

We are so sad to see this close, Bella will be going to her first and last show on Sunday. Brandon has seen many a show with his Uncle Raymond as the puppeteer. We took Graycie to her first show when she was about 3.
Please if you are looking for something fun to do this weekend in AC with your kids come to the show. You won't be disapointed. They are so much fun for the kids and the adults.
This is my brother-in-law (no your eyes are not playing tricks on you this is not Roby I promise.)

Raymond Banda began Puppeteering in the late 90's. He started as an apprentice which allowed him to log countless hours of observing other master puppeteers and practicing his craft. Raymond currently serves as Slappy's lead pupeteer and teacher in charge of training the marionette "interns." He is also the mastermind behind the complicated party schedule at Slappy's in addition to being in charge of the box office. Beyond his many roles at Slappy's (including voice over talent), Raymond is a well respected member of the Dallas Fort Worth acting community. Slappy's has become an important part of Raymond's life. So much so that he married his wife at Slappy's Puppet Playhouse in October!

On June 6th, Slappy's Puppet Playhouse in the Dallas Galleria will end a successful six year run with its last performance of The Jungle Book marionette show.

A minute to Pray

I have been going to a Message Board for preemie moms it has actually been a big help, wake up call and so many other things for me. It has been great to be able to read others stories and not feel alone. I know that most my friends and family probably don't want to spend 24 hours a day 7 days a week talking about Bella but hey I do. :)

So to my point of this post. I know that Bella and I have been so blessed to have a great bunch of prayer warriors on our side while we spent that time in the Hospital. One of the mommies on the preemie board's little one is not doing well. This is her post from today on all of his issues. Now ladies we all know there is no such thing as no hope we see that everyday in all the special little ones we all know and love. We see Hope when we see pictures of Witt at home. Lets all pray for Hope and as well strenght to deal with whatever God's Will is for this family and there little man Oscar.

"Oscar's brain looks just awful he had a grade4 bleed on day three and now at ten weeks has PLV servere and one giant cyst on left side and many many cysts on the right the doctors are painting a very grim picture and want me to turn his machines off but i just know theres got to be hope for my baby. they say he will have servere cp and prob wont be able to talk move etc... also he will be serveley developmentally effected? how can they know? we've just had a specialist access oscar and he has told us oscar will definitely never walk or talk hold a cup feed recognise us were in complete devestation

Bella -

I know mom has already posted this pic but I thought I would post it as well.. Her first Piggies..
She is getting so active. Can you believe that it was a year ago that I held her for the first time on May 2,2009.. WOW.. She was 2 lbs 13oz a year ago. We went to the doctor a few weeks ago and she is just under 16lbs. She has two teeth coming in. She is crawling like crazy. She is pulling up on anything and anybody that will stay still. She still only really says DaDaDaDa.. But we are close to bye bye.. She is eatting like crazy. Still baby food. I think it is easier than feeding straight from the table.. Still not crazy about a sippy cup.. But we have introduce pedisure with her formula and she LOVES the vanilla and kind of likes the chocolate.

In case anyone didn't know I went back to work part time a few weeks ago. Very nice. Love getting a paycheck again. Bella gots some new toys and some new cloths. Cause yeah poor baby needed toys and cloths. Ok not really I just can't not buy her stuff. Momma got a few new things too.. Funny how when you don't work for even a short amount of time and you go back to work the cloths seem so old. Forsure need to do some freshing up with the closet..

Also as everyone read the Nana's computer is out. But never fear we will have her backup by the weekend with a laptop. Couldn't have her down with her birthday just around the corner. That's right May is a crazy Birthday month for our family.
Oldest Melon head yesterday, Sista Trash's Birthday is TODAY - Happy Cinco De Mayo Aunt Kerri, Then Nana's and then Graycie's. Busy month. We also can't forget mother's day in all that this weekend.

School is almost out and it will be summer. I know we are ready. Brandon will offically be a freshman in just a few short weeks.. :0 CRAZY I know the next four years will go by way to fast.

Hope everyone is having a GREAT WEEK!!! Will post new pictures of the Bella girl soon..
