Nemo watching Nemo

Bella loves the movie Finding Nemo and it's one of the few movies I don't mind watching over and over again which a huge risk with Bella. When we were in Disney Land we found Finding Nemo bath toys and she loves them so much they come with here where ever she goes, specially watching the movie. Tonight is girls night since I gave up my massage for James who had a hard days work. We watching, yes you guessed it Finding Nemo. We're cuddling, Bella, me....and Nemo.

Bella's first visit to Disneyland

It was finally time for Bella's first visit to Disney Land. Her best friends David had been there in December and ever since she has been talking non-stop about going. Mommy has been quit excited about going to since her first visit was at age 10 with her mom. We decided that President weekend would be a great time to go, NOT!!! It was a mad house with kids high on sugar who was overstimulated and tired. The lines to the rides were about 45-60 minutes long. Well despite that we had a great time and went on four rides only but saw the fireworks and parade. We also bought a Snow White dress for Bella which she has been wearing a lot since. All and all it was a very good time.

Breakfast with Mickey, what a great start of the day.
Our Princess has a new gown:)
No doubt about where we are
Bella wouldn't sit on the horses but daddy's lap was pretty comfy
Bella rocking around to the music they were playing at the park early in the morning
Gotta love Disney being in EVERYTHING even the bread. We loved the fact they had healthy snack bars and farmers market for us who like to eat REAL food
Goofy welcomed us at our hotel
We all got our own room key, even Bella. Where do they think she is going without us? To buy more gown perhaps?
The hotel had a great pool and we took the time out for a cooling dip
Bella does not like the ocean but she loves the pool
Ok I'm holding on hard mommy, let's go to the deep part hi hi hi
She is the most loving right now, loving cuddling time, kisses and telling us she loves us a lot

Twins!!!

We arrived back from Disney Land yesterday afternoon and I promise we'll post pictures from our trip soon. We had a great time and can't wait to go back again soon. While we were packing up our hotel room Bella was entertaining her self by dancing in front of the large mirror. I caught the image and it almost looks like we have twins. It's so much fun watching kids seeing their own reflection.

The fun about being a kid

It's when you spend a whole afternoon chasing bubbles in garden dressed in sleepwear with chocolate all around your mouth.




Exploring the Dolphins... now off to Disneyland!

I took Bella to Seaworld while mom was at yoga last weekend. Somehow, we've never been by this dolphin exhibit. Isabella was simply fascinated by the dolphins.

Monday is 'presidents day'... so day care is closed. I am taking the day off work and we're leaving early Sunday morning to drive up to Disneyland. This was be Isabella' first Disneyland trip!

We'll be sure to post lots of pictures and videos... especially since we now have Fredrica's nice Nikon camera fixed!

Busy bees for Valentine's day

Me and Bella have been busy getting ready for a Valentine's day party they are having at daycare tomorrow. Valentine's is not until Sunday but Daycare is closed on Monday for President's day so tomorrow it is. Each child is suppose to bring a card for each of her/ his friends as well as a snack. Me and Bella decided to make our own cards. It's not a very advanced project, me using pink paper to make a card which Bella painted and then we helped out gluing a picture of Bella on it. We put these in a bag with a red straw with Valentine messages. Annie and her helper Liz gets some candy in their bag. We had so much fun making these today. It turns out daddy has been busy to ordering flowers for mommy who was so surprised when they we're delivered.


Bella's own handmade valentine's card
Having fun making them
My beautiful roses

Science is Fun!

We love going to the San Diego Science museum. Its particularly great on a rainy day and we've had a few of those recently!

3 year olds love balls... what can I say... even better when they fly around my themselves like magic!



There's also a whole room dedicated to playing with blocks of different sizes... how could you have more fun in life than knocking things over :-)

Dancing like Olivia

Our friends in Sweden have a post on their blog where mom (Molly) is dancing with her little girl Olivia. Bella loves this one so much and asks to see it at least once a week. Now she also wants to dance like Olivia so here is her version of Olivia's dancing. OK we're not as good as Molly and Olivia, specially since Molly just gave birth to Olivia's baby brother, Herman like a week earlier in this video. Check it out!!! Olivia, Herman, Gabe and Molly we miss you all and can't wait to see you this summer!!!!!
