Swimming class

Well I took my camera to swim class today...she did not do as well today as last week...of course! But as a result of all of the screaming she got her own personal swim lesson today for a while!! She seems to be doing a little better....she can swim under the water for a little while and her kicking is getting stronger! We have these lessons all summer so hopefully she will be a little fish by the end of summer:)

Riding her chariot!!

For fathers day we got Papa a fun "chariot" to pull Stella behind his bicycle. She been reading this book "Penelope the Princess" and it talks about how Princess' ride in chariots so she thought that was what this was!! It is so funny. He got her a little pink helmet and took her for a little ride around the block on Sunday. It is too cute and will be a lot of fun! Especially when it gets a little cooler outside!

Funny girl....

So now that Stella is sleeping in her big girl bed it takes forever for her to actually fall asleep at nap time! She gets up and tears up her room every day and then decides it is nap time. The goes through all of her books, takes out all of her diapers, puts on clothes and shoes from her closet and then goes to sleep. The last few times she has been crawling up in her rocking chair with a book and reading until she falls asleep. I went in there to check out where she was the other afternoon and there she was....sound asleep in her chair! So of course I ran in and grabbed the camera and took some pictures before I put her back to sleep...funny funny girl:)

Ballet class round two!!

Well it was our second ballet class this week and of course I went and got Stella a new bright pink tutu for her to wear. Needless to say she was the most overdressed girl in her class...but by far the cutest!! They do not let mom's in the class so I could not take any pictures of her dancing....but apparently the last week they let us in so I am sure I will burn my camera up taking so many pictures!! So here is some new pictures of her precious tutu:)

Sleeping Beauty

Well I finally got up the nerve to go into Stella's room while she was asleep in her big girl bed and take a picture of her sleeping....so it looks really bright in her room but that is just the flash on the camera:) The pictures are too cute...she is out like a light for sure!!

New Cowboy boots!!!

Well after Stella tried to wear her old cowboy boots way too many times we decided it was time to buy her a new pair!! So they came in the mail today!! YAY!! I swear I had to tear them off of her tonight to get her in bed!! She was so excited and they are a little big....but I wanted them to last as long as possible!!

Swimming at Mimi and Papa's

Mimi and Papa got a brand new pool and fun little Hello Kitty spray toy for their backyard so we went over there today to play! Stella was not to sure about the Hello Kitty spray toy....she would not get near it at all while it was on actually. But she did really love the pool and the little toys that we got her too....she went around and watered all of their plants:) It was really cute:)

Toes!!!!

Well I finally gave in and painted Stella's toenails tonight...she loved it! I really did not think she would stay still long enough for me to paint them or let them dry...but I got the fast drying nail polish and she really liked me painting them...but I was going to fast I did not do a very good job...but hey...it is my first time painting my baby girls toes!!

Trouble....

Well I think I am in trouble....Cort came over for lunch and we walked into Stella's room and here is how we found Cort and Stella....

Getting ready for ballet class!!

Tomorrow we start ballet class and of course Stella had to try on all of her new dance clothes before class starts tomorrow:) She had me turn on the music and she danced and jumped around the house for ever!! It was so much fun...she is pretty funny:)

New Pool

We got a brand new blow up pool in the backyard for the summer and it is great! It is a rain forest theme pool and it has a little shady area that "rains" and it is perfect for the over 100 degree heat we have already had this summer:) it is only going to get worse I am sure:)

Mommy's Birthday at Bent Tree:)


My birthday fell on Memorial Day this year and we decided to take Stella to the pool at Bent Tree with the Weidner family to get some swimming in that morning! We had so much fun....Stella and Cort just ran back and forth between the baby pool and the big pool and then over to the swings:) They had such a blast and as usual Bent Tree was amazing!!
