FOUND: The two cutest first day of school girls ever!

Hi everyone....its that time of year again! I cant believe school has started! Ive found that the older I get the faster life goes. It seams like my life until marriage was very slow, elementary, high school, college...and now is just seems to keep speeding up....WELL Ive decided it needs to slow down, my kids are just growing too fast. Lilly and Ashley started school on Tuesday and had a great time. Lilly is in 1st with Mrs Miller and Ash is in Preschool with Mrs Fast. They are already loving it...and I didnt cry as hard this year as I did last, thank goodness. Mathias is growing like crazy. I am counting down the Sundays until he goes to Nursery October 18th!!! I love having him on Sundays but he is ready to PLAY! He keeps us laughing all the time. Rob and I are doing good. Im busy with church stuff and trying to get involved with PTA a little this year. Rob hasnt traveled as much this month so its been nice to have him around more.


We love you all and cant wait to see the other posts this month....Im going to try for 1 a month...so this counts for September right?
I posted a bunch of new pics on dropshots http://www.dropshots.com/melissanothum3
of Stacys wedding, school, etc.

Love you all

Rocky Point

Hey family! I know most of you have seen some pics on facebook. but thought I'd post a few on here too. We had the chance to spend the weekend down in Rocky Point, Mexico a couple weekends ago. Cameron's Uncle Scott has is part owner in a beach house down there. It is one of my favorite places to go. (It is where Cameron and I "fell in love") We should someday rent out a week for all of our family. It would be sooo much fun! The water was like bath water and the weather was hot.. but the house was very cool! We all had a great time, especially Brooklyn! Her favorite thing to do was eat the sand. She is a nut! But she absolutely loved playing in the sand and swimming in the ocean.

Things are going well here at the Bell home! Cameron is still working hard, and I have now started the new dance year, teaching Tuesday and Thursday evenings... plus weekend rehearsals. Brooklyn is keeping me busy, but she is such a great baby! It's so fun to have a friend to hang out with during the day. She keeps me entertained! And I can't believe she'll be a year next month! Where did the time go? Well I hope you are all doing well. Please keep us posted on here! ;) Some of you still haven't signed up to be an author. Please call me if you have any questions or deleted the email I sent you!
Love you guys!
Ashley, Cameron, Brooklyn, (cooper and chloe)

Hello From Missouri

Hi Everyone! Wow....thanks Ash! You are so on top of things. Hope I can get the hang of this blogging thing. Anyway, thought I would post a picture of us at Silver Dollar City, an amuzement park in Branson that we love....and WILL take all visitors to if they come and see us! We had so much fun as a family. Ash was little miss independant and wanted to ride every ride ALONE...! Mathias loved all of the rides, they didnt phase him a bit! Rob watched Mathias and Ash while I took Lilly on her first BIG roller coaster called the Powder Keg....the thing scares me, but she is tall enough to go on it this year and said she was ready. She had soooo much fun, but is not sure if she wants to do it again. Anyway, we had so much fun as a family, we love being together no matter what we are doing!

Love you all so much

Cant wait to hear what you are up to
