Smitten

Bella used to be smitten with Holden (Jenni's son) before he went off to college, ok it is Kindergarten, but it is like college to Bella....So, she did exactly what her mother used to do, got herself a hot date! Bella and her beau, Jacob are so sweet on each other. It is cute. They are joined at the hip. On a recent trip to Michigan, Jacob wrote Bella a letter and sent it to the preschool. HOW CUTE IS THAT? That is exactly the kind of man my girl deserves! Only...when she is 30, has graduated college, traveled the world and gotten established in her career...well, that is what I am brainwashing her to do. Great parenting, eh? I also whisper not to smoke or drink in her ear while she is sleeping...Hey, a Mom's gotta do what a Mom's gotta do, right?
Jacob's little bro wanted to get in on the love action, so, Evan started walking around saying "Evan's got a girlfriend". Lexie, well, she is Lexie....hard to catch. Try it, I double dog dare you. She is lightening fast and determined too. You go girl, keep running. They can catch up later when you have done everything you wanna do in your life!

We had a blast of a play date with the Jacob, Evan and baby brother Brett, along with their hot Mama, "Mrs. Tampa". Her name is Carrie Mobley, you can see her profile HERE on the pageant circuit. She is a local celebrity too, a professional singer....
We got a special presentation of the famous Ariel song "Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?" (ok, I know, you will be singing it all day, me too) ANYHOW, her performance nearly made my girls pass out. They secretly think she is Ariel. So, not only are they smitten with the boys, they love their future Mother In Law too.

This is the kind of stuff you just can't box up. We are sure going to miss ALL of our Tampa pals!!!
