Betties for Boobies!

drewandbella — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 05:43:44 +0000

Today we are participating in a HUGE Breast Cancer Blogging Event! Hundreds of blogs around the globe today are encouraging our readers to take a moment out of your day and donate $5 or $10 to Jacqueline Reitz, a Breast Cancer 3 Day walker. Jackie is a fellow blogger based out of Dallas, and she’s on the 3day team “Betties for Boobies”.
While the original hope was to include over 300 blogs, only time will tell how many have participated, so be sure to check out the www.bettiesforboobies.com blog tomorrow for more information.
If just ONE of the readers from each of the 300 blogs takes a moment and donates $10, that will raise over $3,000.00 in the fight against Breast Cancer. AMAZING!

I am donating to the cause, what about you?!
So help us out. Let’s make this a tremendous success. Head on over to Jackie’s fund raising page (it’s all tax deductible!) at http://www.the3day.org/goto/jackier and send her some donation love! Totals will be posted on the team’s blog tomorrow, to see what an impact we were all able to make!

Andrew started a sports sampler camp a few weeks ago and is really enjoying it! The first 3 weeks of the camp were soccer. The next 3 weeks are T-ball and the last 3 are basketball. Here is a shot I got of Andrew these last few weeks I also uploaded videos to flickr for all of you on my friends and family list! If not just sign up for a flickr account and let me know!

Summer update!

drewandbella — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 21:53:54 +0000

We have had quite the busy summer so far, Andrew has enjoyed swim lessons twice a week and finally got up on the diving block to jump today, such a brave boy! Isabella decided that she was ready for big girl undies and is completely potty trained now except for nap and nights, but that should come soon! We are so proud of our kids We went to the Oregon coast to spend the 4th with Rob’s parents and brought back some fresh salmon, then went to visit friends in Olympia last weekend and the kids found quite a few sand dollars on the shore there. In 2 weeks we’ll be flying to Tennessee to visit my relatives. The last time we made that trip was 2 years ago when Bella was only a few months old and Andrew was 2, so this will be alot of fun for everyone! Here are some pictures to highlight our summer so far!

Update on Bella!

As most people know, Bella was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at her 5 month well checkup and had to wear a brace for a better part of the year to help correct the angle of her hips. At her 1 year checkup she had improved quite a bit but they were still concerned about the angle of her left hip…today we had her yearly checkup and her hips are now considered normal!! This means no more worrying about a possible surgery down the road to correct any lingering problems Such good news for my little girl who is going to be 2 on Saturday! I can’t believe how big she is Anyway, I was so excited that I wanted to share!

Happy mother’s day to all of you mom’s out there!!

It’s been awhile…

I just can’t seem to keep up on posts like my friends do! I have a ton of cute pictures of the kids up on flickr if anyone is interested in checking those out. www.flickr.com/photos/heathersexton and some new videos up on dropshots at www.dropshots.com/andrewsmama . Otherwise we are all doing good, life has been pretty busy lately as I went out of town for 4 days for a wedding in San Francisco, Rob did an amazing job with the kids on his own as always He’s the best friend/dad/husband I could ever ask for! We are currently getting a few inches of snow on the ground as I type this, I can’t believe this winter! Well, here are a few of my favorite pictures of the kids from recently, they really are growing up so fast. Andrew told me this morning in the car that he is going to grow up and ride a skateboard like his Uncle Kyle, but not until is he really really bigger And Bella just wants to do everything that Andrew wants to do, it’s really cute! We read books everynight at bedtime with the kids and they have a Dora book about bedtime wishes and when I ask the kids what they wish for Andrew changes his answer each time, but since the first time we read the story Andrew answered Daddy, Isabella always answers Daddy (not that he’s gone or anything, he’s sitting right there next to us on the bed reading, lol, its just so sweet the say she smiles and says it!) I hope everyone is staying warm and keeping their spirits up in this weather and economy!!

Twinkle, twinkle little star…

drewandbella — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 20:00:23 +0000

Here’s a video of the kids singing Twinkle, twinkle little star They are sitting on the spiderman couch with a blanket pretending that it’s a school bus, you can’t see it but Andrew has his spiderman backpack under the covers. Bella knows the last word of each line, just like in all the story books we read to the kids at bedtime! Of course I never notice the mess on the floor until after I record, oh well!

feeling turtley? (name that movie)

feeling turtley? (name that movie), originally uploaded by Drew’n'Bella’s mama.

Andrew gets camera-shy from time to time and today was one of those times…he had me cracking up ducking in and out of his coat in the back seat! Reminded me of a Dana Carvey movie I once saw This was taken with my new camera that Rob got me for Christmas, just a little point and shoot Nikon but it seems to get great pictures even if they’re a bit slower to take than my Canon. I’m experimenting doing blog posts through flickr and other sites vs. directly from the blog as it makes me upload the videos and pictures before allowing me to blog them anyway. (this is why I may have multiple posts on one day, or wierd size photos on another!) Bear with me, I’ll figure out the best method sooner or later!

Bella walking in daddy’s shoes…wish I could rotate videos on here!

Andrew riding his new bike!

drewandbella — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 22:11:52 +0000

We took Andrew down to the fish hatchery to practice riding his new bike. After a few falls during attempts to turn without pedaling he managed to get the hang of it We have pretty gloomy weather around here and its only supposed to get worse unfortunately. I hope he’ll get to practice some more soon!
