Bella Turned 18 yesterday!!!

HEy Y'All! I am sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have been scrapbooking but not as much. I have been dealing with sinus/allergy and just feeling blah and yuck. sleeping a lot. Ive got to get over it and get myself together. The Good News. My BABY turned 18 yesterday! YES I cried. It's so hard for me to believe she can be all grown and stuff. She should still be a little girl with me dressing her all cute and putting bows in her hair. That is not the case! I mean look at this picture!

She was the cutest, sweetest, snuggliest baby ever!!! Hard to believe that baby is now 18! it went so fast! She started her day going to school of course. she said she had a good day. She came home and we got our neighbors and best friends David and Diane Carter (she calls them Uncle David and AUnt Diane) to go with us out to eat at Bella's favorite hangout places. My stomach wasnt ready haha. SO we went to Taco Mama down by THe Old DUtch.

You see all that food! We sat outside DONT LET THAT BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE FOOL YOU!! The wind was blowing like crazy and it was cool! It cut right through you. My hair was blowing all over the place. I looked like Phyllis Dillar by the time we left. I got the steak tacos and the queso and cheese it was pretty good. They all got shrimp tacos and fish tacos, Bella got a taco bowl, John got us a sampler of the queso, guac and salsa tray. stuff was blowing all over the place. BUT it was still fun and we enjoyed our food. Then we went to Coffee Monster. (its in the same shopping center) I gotta tell you. YOU KNOW I am a loyal Yellowhammer butterpecan latte with whip LOVER!!! BUT, I tried theirs at Coffee Monster. whew. It was good. It came in a larger size (loved) and they put more of the butter pecan syrup (loved) and the whip had like carmel or something in it? (tasty) the coffee was strong (loved) They are way down by where I get my treatments at USA hospital in that area (don't love) I will have one from time to time I cant have one before my treatments because coffee narrows my veins and makes it hard for them to get my iv in. so no coffee on the morning of my treatment. usually I don't feel like coffee afterwards Im nauseas. soooo not that day. And thats really the only time I am down there. so we may have to do an afternoon date and go get coffee or a morning date. they had good looking food stuffs too.

This is Bella and Aunt Diane with their coffee's. Bella got a Honey Rose latte that was cold she said it was good.

he Bella and Aunt Diane with her daddy (John) photo bombing hahah He had this chocolate something monster frappe drink that was amazing. but was full of caffeine I would have never slept again.

Bella And Aunt Diane and me photo bombing not on purpose. These are all at Coffee Monster.

The Family portrait. My meds are really doing a number on me. I also see the effects of not doing clean Eating anymore. all of us would benefit from it.

My baby and her 18th Birthday Cake. Isn't she beautiful? We all had a great time last night just spending time together. We used to go out to eat or just hang out at each others house more before covid hit and we haven't really seen each other since all that started. So it was good to see them and be able to go out with them. Happy Birthday Bella. I hope 18 is a great year for you. We love you so much and are here for you. NO matter what! I hope you had a wonderful Birthday!!
